QUOTE(idoblu @ Feb 6 2017, 09:27 AM) i think maybe enough. this is my bathtub i want to buyyou dont need to fill the tub all the way to the rim. maybe half the tub also enough cause once the body goes in, it displaces the water and it also depends how hot do you want it to be. less hot water mixed with more cold water = in the end not very hot. but i cant really say cause no recent experience. my old house i put in 50L but I never once try the long bath so I also not sure whether enough or not. 50L capacity was recommended by the shop In the end I think wasted to put in too big cause you will burn more electricity Instant heater cannot use for long bath - not hot enough, takes ages to fill the tub, by the time it fills the tub, the heater also catch fire already http://www.ewarehouse.atkc.com.my/kitchen-...mm-h?filter=357 How much cost for your 50L Joven heater? Outdoor or indoor? Storage heater mean it is always ON to boil the water for instant hot water supply? Does it consume lot of electricity? |

QUOTE(idoblu @ Feb 7 2017, 09:00 PM) that link you gave doesnt say how many litre of water that tub can hold i will extend my bathroom so all the power point and copper piping shouldnt be any issue. only issue is ceiling is low properly need to mouth the tank on the wall which will expose it outside but i am fine.anyway for joven storage heaters you can see at the same shop = http://www.ewarehouse.atkc.com.my/index.ph...joven%20storage the prices between each capacity is not a big difference this storage heater is normally install above your bathroom ceiling board. each bathroom one heater. for bathroom with only shower, a 25L tank is enough you need to find out if your bathroom already have copper piping for hot water and also electrical point for the tank. Also find out how much ceiling space you have for the tank to fit up there you said you are buying a new tub, are you replacing or adding it in? I only turn on my heater just before I go in and shower and off it once I am done or after the next person is done. It always have left over hot water inside the tank so you dont really need to like wait 20 mins for water to heat up. Only the first time you use it, you need to wait. if you using it for shower, how does the water pressure to shower head? |

QUOTE(ozak @ Feb 9 2017, 11:44 PM) For normal household people, there wouldn't know about this. And don't think the manufacturing will tell you when need maintenance. another issue is normal those heater installed on top of the ceiling. How we able to check and view the indicator of the tank? Till the unit spoil. This post has been edited by amenlo9: Feb 10 2017, 04:43 PM |
