That is a 13 Ampere RCD Spur.  Is it suitable for a 15 Ampere water heater?  Thanks in advance.

No it is not suitable.

But I didn't use max on the heater. Most of the time is just 1/2 of it. 1600w or 7A.

If you don't turn-up the heater to maximum, it should be alright.  13A can handle 2.9 kW.

Thanks Ozak for the info. On this 13A RCD fused spur matter, you may not turn to to max when bathing but what about others. You cant tell if they will turn to max or 3/4 way to max when bathing. Will the fused blow if turn to max or just kaboom?

Already run for 18yrs. If others turn on max, already long kaboom.

I turn to max before for testing. It didn't trip.

Hello..

Can i do like this setup?

1. Buy water heater without rain shower head.
2. Buy rain shower head with arm.
3. Conceal the pipe(PVC)

Thanks.

Not all rain shower can be use. And the pressure is not high.

You got to buy back exactly the size coming with rain shower.

Those heater don't come with rain shower might not strong enough.

Even with 0.75hp booster pump not enough? If cannot, then i have no choice lor.
How about PVC piping? My contractor said PVC can use for water heater. I doubt about that.

With a booster pump of course it is ok.

But there is another problem. The water will not be hot enough cause the flow is too fast.
