In reality, zero-sum yan.

FWIW, you are buying a water dispenser for the convenience. That's it. Just replace the 5-gallon jug every couple of days and you can have instant hot/cold water anytime.

What I do is, I have a timer setup on both the Hot and Cold circuits. Yung Hot water, available lang from 6:00-8:30am (breakfast time) while the Cold water is available only from 7:00am-9:00pm. Anytime during the day kung kailangan ko mag-init ng tubig to drink coffee (minsan lang), meron akong routine to turn on the Hot water for 20 minutes only, then patay sya ulit until the following morning.



4 water dispensers in our compound.... all are local brands.. Kyowa, Camel, American Heritage (or Home), etc. Never bumigay compressors. May isa lang, medyo natunaw connector ng heater (assembly defect).

In other words, they're pretty reliable.

Pero, sabi mo nga... ang problem sa inyo is electricity. Any appliance won't last long kung unstable electricity supply mo.
Solid Panasonic ref namin, running for almost 15 yrs na. So solid yung compressor ng panasonic even on an unstable electric voltage. That’s the reality sa place namin, need to find solid product para magtagal sa ganitong unstable electricity. Yung Carrier AC namin, hindi nagtagal ng 1 yr. Nag activate daw failsafe mechanism ng controller kaya need reset. Every visit ng technician just to reset the controller is too much. Nag give-up na ako sa Carrier AC namin. Good to know working pa rin tong mga products if stable ang electricity. Yung GE AC namin, good pa, running 2 yrs na, binili ko as 2nd hand from in-laws.

Disappointed lang ako sa Compressor ng Kyowa dispenser namin.
