Law_ong Neutral Newbie December 1, 2008 Share December 1, 2008 I'm amazed, SG so hot some of u still use water heater? For me I use cold shower even tho I have gas water heater. It's good for my balls...i mean reproductive organs also. Even in the morning at 7, cold shower before I go to work. Last time when very young got swimming training in the early morning, also like that, so used to it. U think public swimming pool got water heater? Toilet/bathroom there also no water heater. swimming early in the morning versus bathing cold water slightly diff...i do my swim early in the morning at 8am every weekend and the water is cold..the diff is our body gets warmed up from the exercise thus do not feel the cold but when i cool down after completing my laps, i feel the coldness.... but 1 thing i admit, we are pampered... we bathed in cold shower early in the morning during NS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Law_ong Neutral Newbie December 1, 2008 Share December 1, 2008 Unless your other taps about the house all have good water pressure..... only the heater outlet doesn't, then most likely the heater is the cause. Then is there any diff in water flow between hot & cold setting? Normally, the hotter the setting, the slower the flow...... ya my other taps are alrite.... only the heater one very telok..... already set the water flow to max.... don't really need it to be so hot.... but still.... since its not the pressure from the tank. perhaps you wanna dismantle the heater and check all the in/out lets for any resistor valve or seal not removed? am using National/panasonic instant heaters for slightly over a decade (changed twice)and the pressure is good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear December 1, 2008 Share December 1, 2008 I live in HDB and have a gas on-demand. You can install it in the service balcony only. Not anywhere. Not even in the bathroom. The exhaust gases must escape somewhere. If not, we find the bather dead from CO2 poisoning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanjkp Clutched December 1, 2008 Share December 1, 2008 I used 2 diff brand of I/heater last time during 1st moved in & found the cheaper one have weaker water flow so changed to the same brand as the one that flow and heat well -- Cornell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shull Turbocharged December 1, 2008 Share December 1, 2008 (edited) dunnit building expert..simple logic answer liao.. water pressure of the building is not the problem.. the problem lies in the designs of the water heater..you look at the inlet pipe diameter of those heater..compare it to the diameter of the pipes leading to your taps.. simple logic says that 'what goes in must come out'..so the volumetric flowrate going into the heater must be equal to the flowrate coming out.. the inlet pipe is the bottleneck..it's limiting the amount of water flowing into the heater.. however, as the inlet become smaller, the flow of water should become faster... as area is inversely proportional to velocity... well that is what i learn from my physics prof many many years back... true..but faster flow means lower pressure..

Valentino Neutral Newbie December 1, 2008 Share December 1, 2008 this is the thing i fear too. and the prob is sometimes my water pressure will be higher/lower at different time of the day.

Spade Neutral Newbie December 1, 2008 Share December 1, 2008 For instant water heater - you must get those Made in UK heating element type. Those maintain the full pressure and have good heat also. The local ones and china made ones are really lousy. We have one that has been going strong for 18 years now and still going strong. For storage tank - the best brand is LA Water Heater. Do not get Ariston, useless and breakdown after awhile. We moved into a place with a 10 year old LA Water Heater storage and it is still going strong.

Camrysfa Turbocharged October 30, 2012 Share October 30, 2012 Need help.......which brand and model of instant water heater (electric type, not gas ) is a good buy. Thank you. Not the storage type. Presently using: Alpha brand, model S100 series ( Malaysia ). Problem: The outflow rate is not strong. Heat is not a problem. Probably due to it's slim design, the internal pipe is small bore and thus flow rate not good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
