Hi everyone, well finally my Alpha instant water heater died in a way no water came out from the machine even with pump is on and I suspect sediment collection within the machine eventhough I already installed dual stage filtering system in house.
Don't wanna play a fool as it's been 5 years since I installed this and my toddler showers in this shower.
Recommend me one so later I go buy? Thanks!
Also I have the rain shower attachment from alpha if I buy another brand this will still fit my current rain shower attachment?

Either joven or pana. I normally choose which one has discount between this 2. The rest can use at your own risk.

Don't buy all those digital nonsense, more parts to potential spoil. Been a user from National to Panasonic for 30 years so far serving me well.
