I remembered the heater in my parents home were the type that hurts you if you set it too high, but then again the water pressure there was quite bad due to it being an old apartment.

Tried playing around with the settings today, guess i cant get both high water pressure and high temperature at the same time on a budget.

Seems like the best result is with halfway open valve and with pump turned off. Rain shower mode with pump on, the water is just slightly warm at best. A bit disappointed.

If you live in condo, the water pressure should be good enough without the pump. Control the water flow is the only way to get a very hot water.

Your setup seems same as mind. Consider paint the pipe and the wire to blend to the wall. Look much better.

hi lowyat members, is this method possible? i have water pump at my outlet tank, so the water pressure is quite high..

I believe that is possible. Mine was recently done and IINM it was done that way...

If the inlet not share with the rain shower, there is no problem.

What did u mean? All the water from the existing old shower is go to the water heater.. Then out to the rain shower and hand shower..

This joven water heater can stand maximum 8litre per minute..

What is IINM?

If you direct tap from the existing shower without T joint, that is no problem.

If I'm not mistaken

You mean an elbow pipe? It is quite common in hardware stores

Just buy a water heater with expose rain shower. The newer Alpha i18 nice

Ya elbow, but double elbow, in>out>in>out..

How do you know it doesn't have the necessary hot water pipe? From your picture I can't tell

Why need double elbow? Just install 2 elbow seperately will do

Why need 2 separate elbows? There's something called "mixer"

Mixer will not work because the hot water is from heater

OK we must be talking about a different type of water heater then.
I thought he was asking about storage heaters because you simply can't hook up an instant water heater to normal shower head (as in his picture). You got to use back the flexible plastic shower head that it came with or similar

Ya... you are right... but somehow I think he want to nicely hide it inside the wall or something... so he need the elbow.. but my thinking is that if it is insde the wall,,, two seperate elbow will do..
