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.

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

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.

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

Ask ko lang po kung may nakatry na po sa inyo nung alpha na brand? If yes, kamusta naman po? Thanks!

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