Water heater for Showers

[Mentis]

I plan to install next year a solar water heater it seem reliable for the initial cost of 25k peso, compare sa e-water heater na masyadong malakas sa electric bill

[dr. d]

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!

it's easy to attach.
if you are a handyman of sorts, you can do it yourself.
or you can hire a good tubero or all-around handyman.

a problem might arise, if your wall-mounted heater has a limited gallon per minute capacity. it might not be able to supply enough heated-enough water, for you to fully enjoy your large head (errr.. showerhead, sir).
some product shower heads may indicate in the package the minimum required gallon per minute requirement...

also, is your water source powerful enough to supply your system's needs?
the wider the showerhead (more holes), the stronger the needed pressure..

good luck.

good call thats what i did. but you may need a backup water heater in case of rainy days.

got an aeg multi point as backup. used it one in awhile when 2 days walang araw or really dark clouds for 2 days. maybe used it less than 10x this year of 12 months

Good to know, what can you say about performance, does it really satisfy your needed heating temperature or lets say how many people had to use the shower bago maubos ang init and by the way ilan liters ba capacity ng solar water heater mo?

Thanks for the tip about the gallon per minute capacity! I'll check that out with the existing heater.

I was concerned about the water pressure too, thanks for pointing out the more holes + stronger pressure needed!

Really appreciate it!

3 lang kami morning and evening showers. Never ran out of hot water during normal days. I forgot na how many liters but it is a single tank setup. 4 or 5 years na namin ginagamit. Once a year i have the o rings coated with silicone grease.

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.

Thank you sir nhojnalor...atleast meron ng idea kahit papaano.

We have 8 alpha heaters (multi points) in two houses and so far so good. Service is quick and responsive.
