Get one of the Schneider RCBO and install in your fuse box. Test it monthly.

Panasonic, any model will do, depends on your budget, or need a pump, or need additional features.

Just get basic one.

But if your place pressure low, buy the one with a pump

Alright thanks brothers. Panasonic it is. Weird no one mentioned alpha even in the other threads.

It's not well known?

Aiyo then you have yo get the one with pump. Just get the Panasonic. Not that expensive. I remember I got mine from AEON. Never order fronshoppe or Lazada for these types of electrical equipments. But Fri physical shop for headache less warranty touch wood anything happens!

From experience Sen heng n Sen w good with after sales. One time my washer stop spinning. I called Sen q. They get Toshiba tech to come to my house n found out floor not balance so machine refuse to spin. Put some balancer to the kaki n can spin edi.

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?

Beware of the wiring, piping - how much current load it uses and whether your wire can support that.

If you see cases of pipur dieded because of electrocution, don't cheap out to just repair. Replace and find proper pipur install. Remove metal pipe use other kind of hoses. Periodically press that test button.

If electrocution is your concern, please check your DB to see if you have 10mA RCCB installed for every heater. Else, it doesn't matter which SIRIM certified brand you choose as the risk of upcar is still high.

The most important (regardless whatever WH) is the 10mA RCD - ABB (made in IT) or Hager (made in FR) recommended

NO CIRCUIT BREAKER
Mr Goh also testified that the household’s electrical circuit comprised two wiring systems: An older system installed in 1971, and a newer system installed when the flat underwent the Housing and Development Board’s (HDB) Main Upgrading Programme completed in 2003.

As part of the HDB upgrading, a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) was installed for the newer wiring system. The RCCB would trip the system and cut off the current when an earth leakage was detected.

The water heater drew electricity from the older wiring system, which was not protected by the RCCB as there was no such requirement at the time the system was installed, said Mr Goh.

He said that if the RCCB had been installed in such a way that it protected the household’s entire circuitry, it would have detected the earth leakage during the incident, tripped and cut off the current.

Iinm, most shops only sell 25A 10mA Sneider RCBO. Supposing he's using 2.5mm² wires, will there high risk of wiring overheat especially if the wires are old?

if your water pressure low you need to get Alpha, Joven or Centon . they use more powerful DC water pump
Pana pump is weak 1 compare to the above. a few have complained about this fact.

I have 2 Pana and lately add 1 joven. DS house.
