QUOTE(ozak @ Nov 28 2014, 01:48 PM) Connect the wire to the connector. Makesure the wire secure tight with the screw connector. Cost this heater run at high watt when max. Otherwise the connector will heat up and kaboom. This is acrylic sealer right? If before dry can wash away with water is acrylic. Silicon can't wash away with water.![]() I put an additional silicon to seal the wire intake hole. Cause the heater from the shower head is a bit near. This is to prevent the water from sipping in and kaboom the heater. ![]() Done for the wiring. Now the plumbing side. I have place the elbow to the inlet heater valve. So I can measure the vertical pipe lenght that need to be cut. ![]() Use sand paper to clean every fitting and pipe that need to be glue. This will clean up the oil and dirt. So the glue can melt the pvc pipe securely. Wipe with clean cloth. ![]() Tape the screw fitting with white seal tape. ![]() The vertical pipe is temporary insert in. Now use the elbow to mark the lenght of the pipe to be cut. Glue all together. In this step, you need to act fast. The glue will cure fast. Plan which fitting to go in first and how to fit in together. Than apply the glue. ![]() The plumbing done. Wait for 1/2hr or longer for the glue to harden. It actually need 24hr to be harden. But since the water pressure not that high, 1/2hr should be alright. ![]() Open back the stop cock. Check for any water leakage. Than turn the heater valve to open. Let the water flow out from the shower head. Check any leakage in the heater side joint. This is important to makesure no water leak out internal. Any water leak, disamssembly it and take the heater to claim. Close the valve and put back the heater cover. ![]() Switch ON the heater switch. Than reset the RCD. If the RCD trip, switch OFF and check the wiring.If everything OK, the heater light will ON. ![]() Continue........ |

QUOTE(kimsim @ Nov 28 2014, 03:47 PM) You are right cause you see too many pipes akraady. Now look better. Give some paint on the pipe and the trunking. It blend to the wall.But for our bro ozak can simple used the shorter one, look more nicer or rather than used grey color PVC pipe ![]() This post has been edited by ozak: Sep 12 2018, 09:09 AM |

QUOTE(jackieloo111 @ Nov 28 2014, 06:59 PM) Looks good- is it the fountain type where the water comes out like rain? i got conned last time i bought one but they water sprays out instead of falling like rain. my fault i didn't ask for a proper demo This sqaure type not really like heavy rain, but enough for body on middle rain.Also used the centralize storage tank can be more fixable to adjusted the hot, so become your bath time will be slightly longer and feeling don't one stop the water and continue take bath. Really relaxing when bath This post has been edited by kimsim: Nov 28 2014, 10:10 PM |

QUOTE(ozak @ Nov 28 2014, 01:42 PM) Install it yesterday. Take about 2hr. Running very silent compare to the old 1. Wow u got it cheap!!where did u buy it from?i have yet to find a decent shop to regularly get my stuffs from.Noise level about 55db at max pump running. The shower head flow is not strong as those big type. So if you looking for a strong flow, you will be dissapointed. The cost: 1) Heater - RM720 2) Plumbing parts - RM5 3) Labour - Free By the way, i noticed that even at the highest setting the water is not even close to scalding hot, i mean i dont intend to scald myself, but it is only warm at most even at the highest setting, even worse when using the rain shower mode. Is it considered normal? Or is my water pressure too strong? Seems like the heater runs fine even with the pump turned off as my water pressure is considered quite high even on normal days. Should i regret buying a pump unit?hehe I too am uncomfortable with the wiring setup done by my installer, worse is he charged me rm100 for installation.. Will consider using the silicone gel like u did with yours » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by aztechx: Nov 29 2014, 11:17 AM |

Don't expect hot with instant water heater when is rainy and water flow are good. Only if you have >4kwatt instant heater only can feel hot.By the way, i noticed that even at the highest setting the water is not even close to scalding hot, i mean i dont intend to scald myself, but it is only warm at most even at the highest setting, even worse when using the rain shower mode. Is it considered normal? Or is my water pressure too strong? Off the pump or reduce the water flow you will feel hot. |

The shop look like 1 to die or not die condition. Don't look for big shop.By the way, i noticed that even at the highest setting the water is not even close to scalding hot, i mean i dont intend to scald myself, but it is only warm at most even at the highest setting, even worse when using the rain shower mode. Is it considered normal? Or is my water pressure too strong? How hot the water depend on few condition. 1) water temperature inlet 2) water flow speed. I only turn the knob to half to get the temperature I need consider now the water temperature is a bit cold than normal.(raining season) Pump speed is max. You need to measure the water temperature only can tell. I will check later what is the best temperature. |
