Ok understand now. I should turn on only when showering. The reason why I turn on all the time was because someone told me it is more energy efficient and turn on/off all the time would spoil it.

I guess I got a wrong advice. Thanks for your input

My experience with my condo storage tank (Rheem 30L tank) and my smart meter daily electricity consumption monitor:

Turn on 15 mins to heat up in morning than off = able to tahan enough heat in tank, got sufficient hot water for two people to shower at lukewarm temperature water at night. Electricity consumption not significant enough to notice.

One fine day turn on at morning at usual time, then forgot to turn off until return at night = suddenly that day electricity shoot up extra 6kWh of electricity used doh.gif
