I visited Ace Hardware this afternoon to look for a replacement for our retired 25 year old national heater, the sales lady of Champs boast its copper heating tank with a high cost and will say only champs have maintained the copper heating tank and she opened the panasonic and AEG which both have a mother board and boasted the simple michanical (sabi niya) system of Champs and you will see that both panasonic and AEG has a plastic tank.

But panasonic is a good brand for water heater for it is previously the National brand (the tested brand), nice 9 safety Points and has a filter and ELB which the Champs do not have. If you read the 9 safety feature, you will understand that the tank is plastic because its copper tank is insulated by plastic. The Champs saleslady's is not true. Panasonic also have a Copper Heater unit which is more durable than plastic.

The Verdict, Panasonic won. Insulated Copper tank, flow sensor, ELB, 1.9psi minimum pressure against champs 2.5psi minimum pressure.

Sir question lang mas makakatipid ba sa koryente ang magpakabit ng water heater kesa sa old school na magpainit ng tubig?induction kasi ang gamit namin pag nagpapainit ng tubig pampaligo ng mga bata[emoji16]

I'm using a backup aeg great heater. I'm using a solar water heater as my main heater.

Probably not but you get the water heater for the convenience. Di mo na kailangan pang painitin using your induction stove yng tubig then transport sa banyo.

Tnx mortis...ill just research more,medyo luma na kasi ang mga wirings ng bahay eh kaya baka di lang water heater ang magagastos pati pagpalit ng mga wirings para sa heater isama na sa budget.

Has anyone here installed a different shower head connected to those wall mounted water heaters? Specifically those rain shower ones.

I'm planning to retrofit one of those fixed large rain shower heads (maybe one between 10" to 15" depending on the price and quality), a guy from home depot told me its possible by using one of those T pipes.

Anyone got any experience?

What's a good rain shower head brand that has good quality?

Thanks!

Matipid sa tubig at sa kuryente kung, ialalgay mo sa balde tapos tabi nalang gagamitin. Pero kung gusto mo ng shower, magastos din sa kuryente depende gaano kainit ng tubig ang gusto mo at gaano katagal ligo mo. Sabi saakin kahapon ang 3500w daw ay 12 pesos per hour pero di naman sure na ganun consumption nun.

Kung kukuha kayo ng electric water heater dapat may ELB (earth leakage breaker) ang kunin ninyo for safety. Pupuwede lang na walang ELB kung meron kayong earth ground wiring ang bahay ninyo. Hindi kayo kayang protektakan ng karaniwang breaker kasi milliamperes lang ng current nakamamatay na. Hindi pa dun magti-trip ang karaniwang breaker.
