QUOTE(bmwlover @ Jun 8 2018, 12:51 AM) do u guys recommend wall mounter instant water heater or storage type water heater? what are the pros & cons? Pro:Can supply to several bathroom With high water pressure (high water flow rate), the water is still warm enough. Faulty heater element hard to replace (on ceiling). Water wet ceiling during replacement because not all water in storage can be dried up (my own experience Con: More electricity if it is kept on, otherwise, the heat loss is just waste of energy during off state. You tend to fully blast the water at high flow compares to instant water heater, thus water waste. Normally use copper piping for hot water. How to channel to several bathrooms without major hacking? I have both storage and instant. Storage in master bedroom because the house came with copper piping in the wall already. The heater element will corrode over time and cause power trip in the heater line. Many shops or service people told me that usually people will replace will new tank. Well, I'll stick to replacing the heater. Bought it for RM90 (if not mistaken). Was unable to replace it because location too tight to put my spanner. Just called a person that familiar and he devised his own tool to make his work easy I only switch on when I want to use just like instant water heater. It does not take much time, probably less than 30s to start feeling the warm water. Keeping the heater on assuming like hot water pot increases electricity bill probably RM20~30. The heat retention is just not good I think. |

QUOTE(swanchoc @ Jun 11 2019, 07:40 PM) hi, you seemed very well versed with storage heater type. can i seek your advice on which is the best brand for about 50L storage. and where can i buy? and would you be able to recommend installer too? much appreciate your advice. I would say any known brand is okay. Well, there is only 2 brands that has many models I think. It is Joven and Alpha. If youj google you can find and compare those. If you do not want to put on ceiling, you can go for vertical one and put high in bathroom wall (if you have big bathroom and don't mind looking at it I saw around RM730 ... eg. https://www.banhuat.com/alp50l-h https://shopee.com.my/Joven-50L-Vertical-St...96121.216851179 JUst make sure the size can go through the ceiling opening you have, otherwise have to remove ceiling The shop selling these or any plumbing stuff shop can always provide you with installer. I do not have contact already. Long time. Sorry. |

QUOTE(barca96 @ Jan 30 2020, 03:44 PM) I'm only choosing between this 2 brands my storage water heater; You see the reply in y4ng"?Joven due to the brand Hydro1 due to its claims on safety and savings Price breakdown Joven JH25 RM550 Joven JH35 RM660 Installation RM150 Total RM700/810 Hydro1 Eco RM800 Installation RM300-400 Total RM1100-1200 However the price points are too far off. Not sure if it is worth it to top up at least RM400 for Hydro1. Are their claims of both the safety and savings really hold any water? Ecoheater came once cos the board was burnt. According to them, they said I switched on without water in it. No water also cannot detect and switch off itself. Where is the safety? |

BTW, I use Joven JH35.
It was installed on ceiling. I think the price was around RM450 around 10 years ago. I think you can get around RM500+ After 10 year + the power tripped. It was because the heater element has corroded and caused short circuit. They said people just replace with new one. The tank was still good. Why need to replace? I bought the replacement heater and get it replaced. If not mistaken RM120. It was several years ago. Now it is running fine. The tank was installed on ceiling by the way. |
