If I just need hot water for shower in 1 bathroom, does it still make sense to go for storage water heater? Currently I'm using Joven instant water heater. I'm quite satisfied with the temperature as I don't really need very hot water for shower but I want to change to big rain shower for personal enjoyment. So far when I read in this thread seems like instant water heater is not recommended to be use big rain shower? or do you guys know any instant water heater that I can use with big shower head maybe like below type?

QUOTE(Jason @ Jul 12 2018, 11:20 AM) Big rain shower with instant hot water, you will face 2 possible problems: I see, thanks. Can't heat up means totally cold or just warm? I 'm OK if it just warm but if totally cold then it beats the purpose. To be fair, the price of storage water heater is not much different to branded instant water heater. A 35L Joven storage water heater cost RM6xx while Joven instant water heater cost about the same. So price is not the issue, it just currently I don't have copper pipe for the storage hot water so I need to hack all the tiles to install it. Trying to justify if its worth it to go for storage since I only need the hot water for 1 point only.1.Water pressure not strong enough, so the flow of the rain shower will be slow. 2.Water pressure strong (maybe you have household water pump), but the instant hot water can't heat up the large volume of water. |

QUOTE(slimey @ Jul 12 2018, 06:24 PM) rain shower does not need high pressure water. Yeah I don’t have pressure issue, just worried it won’t heat the water enough if water pressure is enough for normal shower head type, it will be enough for rain shower system. QUOTE(ozak @ Jul 13 2018, 09:39 AM) Your instant heater pump cannot coupe with this big shower head. It not enough power to pump the large amount of water for this big shower head. I guess it’s time to look for contractors to install the copper pipe. Thanks all for the feedback.The most bigger size for instant heater is 7" head. The istant heater have to design for the shower head, Not any instant heater. Another problem is the water temperature will drop alot. This is due to 1) high flow water cannot absorb enough heat from the heater. 2) Because of the slow water drop from shower heat, the water been cold down by the air between the water travel from the head to your body. You can feel the water colder than using the hand shower. Use water heater tank. |
