Ans 1
You can op to install a centralized water heater. Cost of heater will be around 2 electric water heater that you plan to buy. But you need to have budget to install additional hot water piping.

Ans 2
Usually the water heater pump will only generate pressure enough to support its own rain shower. I don't think it will have enough pressure if you change the original rain shower into 10" or 12". Even if the pressure is enough, the electric heater maybe cannot heat up to the temperature setting as the flow rate will be too fast for the heater.

Ans 3
Pressure different might due to piping connection. Maybe your second bathroom is nearer to your main water inlet as compared to master bedroom. Hence causing pressure drop.

Ans 4
Shower head fitting is standard.

ps: If you are interested to know of any other alternative to have a centralized hot water system for your house, kindly PM me biggrin.gif

Dear Sifus, im having a mini dilemma here. What I intend to do is to have a medium sized (10"-12") rain shower connected to my soon to purchase water heater                                            
                                            
My current method is to purchase a water heater with pump and rain shower, and purchase a new shower head seperately to fit to replace the default shower head (as the one provided with the heater is small)                                            
Approximate cost would be                                            
Water heater with rain shower- RM700-RM800
10-12" Shower head - RM300-RM400

The heater model im planning to get (joven i70p)
                                       
Question 1                                            
My question is, do I have any alternative way to get a rain shower setup with my heater since from what I checked                                            
the rain shower column itself can cost between RM500-RM1000                                            
                                            
Question 2                                            
Will my water heater with pump be able to produce enough presure to push the water up to the rain shower?                                            
Current built in shower head has decent water pressure. (any idea how I can quickly check the pressure readings?)                                            
                                            
Question (slightly off topic)
Why is the water pressure in my 2nd bathroom stronger than the one in the master bedroom?

Question 4
Are the shower head fittings standard?

Thanks in advance!
