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]

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.

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

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!

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.

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!
