Recently used a water heater in a hotel and it was very noisy during operation. I guess it must have come with a pump. Do pump-based water heaters sound noisy during operation?
I just installed 2 Panasonic water heaters (non-pump). Very quiet during operation. Though the water that comes out from the Panasonic is not very hot, just warm. Unlike the water heater in the hotel, when the temperature knob is only halfway, the water is already very hot and I have to turn it down a little. Personally I prefer the Panasonic water heater whereby the water is not too hot as you won't risk burning your skin during shower. Though for those who like to take a hot shower (hotter than warm), I'm not sure if the Panasonic water heater will deliver.
I was told by the electrician who installed the water heaters that most the water that comes out from modern water heater these days is just warm and not very hot.

QUOTE(slimey @ May 24 2018, 10:28 PM) i don't know. i basically trust no one. i either do it myself or i'll supervise closely whoever that's doing it personally. your life and someone else's life depends on it. if you want crappy installation, the crappiest installation i can think of will be take power from light switch in which light uses 1.5mm square wire or smaller, no earth wire, some how some idiot connect the light wire to a 32 amp mcb and the mcb connected to an old school elcb with 300mili amp leakage trip that no longer works even if press test button. and connect the water heater with a conductive shower hose. yup.........sure way to get electricuted and burn down the house in the process. The "crappy" installation that you cited, good imagination. Though in real life we rarely hear about buildings particularly apartments or condominiums being burnt down because of a wrongly-installed water heater. Most units in apartments would have water heaters installed, and I don't think I have read about any building being burnt down because of poor installation of water heaters. For burnt-down buildings, I believe a fire arson or flying jets crashing into buildings (just like the World Trade Centre) would stand a higher chance of getting the whole building on fire. In summary, the message I am conveying here is it's not that difficult to find a competent electrician. Of course, one can choose not to trust the electrician since you wont' know his background (unless you scrutinize his credentials for certification) but in reality, most experienced or competent electricians would do fine. Otherwise, we would hear buildings being burnt down in the news every day of the week due to poorly installed water heaters. This post has been edited by ryder_78: May 25 2018, 10:42 PM |

QUOTE(Richard @ May 26 2018, 10:05 AM) I suggest you google the leading causes of residential fires in Malaysia. I would guess either from cooking or an electrical fault and the victims are usually the very old or the very young. These are the people we need to protect and it's a pity if ignorance is the excuse if we fail. These things don't need to google. Electrical or gas cookers fault related to cooking is mainly with worn-out wires and fittings or misuse. It's not related to improper installation of new water heaters. |
