Water heater for Showers

[dr. d]

Panasonics & these above did not fare well nor last long in hard water conditions here. Coupled w/ good softener systems, they should serve as they have you guys in the capital. Your water there is soft from my recollection.

but is there a hardwater-resistant heater?
kasi, by the very nature of hardwater and the mode of heating the water...

Instant multi-point heaters have much smaller tubes, between the inlet & outlet valves, to slow the flow down as they heat the water passing thru. Hard water calcificifies when heated. Once the scales clog those small diameter tubes, you're looking at either servicing or replacing. You guys are blessed to not have homes sitting on limestone bedrock like ours here are.
The individual storage only has the heating element, relief valve & thermostat. It heats what's stored. Water doesn't pass thru small tubes. It's not hardwater-proof but trouble-free service life is relatively longer.

Install a basic water filter from the main pipe ... helps prevent leaking pipes and toilets ... also prevents stains on glassware and the like ... and watermarks on your vehicle(s) ...

what's a basic water filter?
physical sieve-type filter,
or ion exchange filter?

Ion exchange water softener, doc....Like what hospitals, labs & hotels use. Salt as consumable....if you wanna turn hard water soft.
I know of a no-maintenance catalytic scale preventive system from europe. Tested for decades & Euro bldg regulations compliant. It's the go-to for commercial & shipping usage. Available now for residential applications, too.
It doesn't do ion-exchange nor reduce hardness, but turns calcium bicarbonate into smoother surface argonite crystals.....makes the precipitate flow freer w/ the water in the plumbing system, making em less likely to stick & accumulate inside pipes, fixtures. On bathroom tiles/glass/shower cutains, argonite crytal water stains & scum are easier to clean, too. Again, not softening(you won't have soap/detergent savings). Just no consumables(not even power) & no maintenance. Sadly on the pricey side, no China version sightings, yet. 1 time cost tho.
