Rinnai ... is this brand convincing ? DC pump for sure , if u dont want noisy sound and expensive bill...LoL

wat about panasonic ?

RM900 for instant water heater ? its too expensive already.....i would expect max RM700+ only ..someone told me he saw panasonic rainshower in pj shop....erm   

Thanks Lee for the detailed reply!

Regarding the centralized heater, i dont think thats an option for now due to budget constraints and that im currently living in a two bathroom condo with only two occupants. Might consider in the future though. Will the centralized system come with a dedicated water pump?

Was a bit sceptical on the ability of the heater to cope with a different shower head and theres no way for me to 'tryand error' in this case. I guess better not take the risk

Is there a quick way for me to detect the current water pressure by DIY?
Thanks for the reply kimsim. Took a look at rinnai website, is this the one u meant?



Tried looking for the spec details of the shower head but couldnt find any on the website. Any suggestions on where to get the unit?seldom see rinnai heaters so far in kl

Looks like ill have to settle for the default rain showers from heaters for now. Ill go for the biggest one i guess..
Rinnai looks good

Went to senq a few days back and all they had were the alpha rain shower series which were the weird bended small rain shower. Didnt really like it. I think ill try to take a look at another outlet.

I was initially planning to get a setup like yours the 'budget' way but i guess you get what you pay for applies well here.. 

Thought of getting any instant heaters with rain shower and refitting the head with something like this for an additional rm400.is it advisable?So heater plus shower combo might cost me around 1000-1200. With that budget i guess that might be the best choice i have. For the centralized system i might consider it 4-5 years down the road when i renovate my bathroom.

For storage heater, the pressure is from the main pipe. And probably not enough also.

For such a big shower, it require 3/4 pipe size. Instead of normal 1\2.

You mean the "storage heater" come with such built in pump can easily take the water pressure, not as strong enough but just right.

??

thanks for the input guys

i guess having a 10-12" rain shower is out of the question for now due to budget constraints as well as risk from issues related to water pressure. Maybe i will reconsider when i intend to renovate my bathroom.

Currently im stuck between the two choices below which is the same price

Not sure which one has the bigger shower head and if theres any difference feature wise. i know that the i70p has an on off button for the pump. unsure about the rinnai one though

Brought this Rinnai heater after saw your post picture. Really difficult to find.

Will install it this 2day and see how good is it.

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.


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.

Nope. This is the end piping to the heater. so no different. Need bigger pipe size from the beginning tank side.

Standard plumbing rule for house is 1/2". While the main is 3/4".

What nut reducing?

Thumb of rule, 1/2" is standard plumbing for inside house. Otherwise you have problem with all your tap, faucet, shower head...etc. Use bigger size pipe if you plan properly and understand what you do.

I find it messy.

Frankly speaking, it is not really nice. Those flexible hose tangling around at below is a mess. Not your neighbour, even my 1.

I prefer the mixer type with everything running inside the wall.
