Hang on, brother. Thought storage tank is more cost effective than instant heater as in you turn on for 5 to 10 mins before use and that's it. Okay, piping wise is more expensive than just running on instant heater but that's a one-off. After that, cost saving starts to kick in for a storage vs a instant, no?

Cheers.

yes. but u need to like plan 5-10min in advance mah .

Shower maybe ok . But if just want to wash a face , u might not turn on the storage heater and wait 5-10min b4 u wash yr face. End up u only use it for shower . Then like defeat the purpose liao .

Eh..bro...I think in hot country like singapore, very few will use hot water to wash face or rather use hot water for basin bah.

And usually u will have left over hot water from your prev wash, and probably still warm enough? keke

Yeah, 707 n alpha n champs all pretty hot already. Max temp is 30 - 45 degree. Dun tell me u nd all the 60 degree that storage heater offers? That will be scalding hot!

erm actually hor.... i really use v hot water to bathe... sometimes i even find my storage heater water not hot enough... #'_'# esp towards the end of my shower or during cooler days~

after years of instant heater during school hostel days, now i make sure i have storage heater and get to enjoy my hot hot bath hahahaha

Question: i remember hearing about a rule that HDB cannot have 2 storage heaters in the same flat or something like that... anyone heard about this?

bro marshmallow, if u like really hot hot water, got one other method, u can boil the water, that one 100 degrees...sure hot... joking ah....

like i say, instant or storage is dependable on personal preference. for us we prefer the instant. In terms of cost, instant is still more cost effective.

yes, no 2 storage heater in the same flat, anyway, u dun need 2 in one flat. That only applies to landed houses with a couple of storeys high and many toilets.

yup yup it's a matter of personal preference but if your preference is cooler water then it's good cos can save some $$$ hahaha

for some HDBs (esp the newer ones?), the 2 toilets are side-by-side so they can share the same storage heater. But for mine the toilets are at 2 different ends of the flat so a bit hard to share....

i may just go for instant heater @ common toilet to save some cost... you mentioned multi-point instant heater... so can just run a hot water pipe from instant heater to kitchen, is it?

should be able to still share, just piping more troublesome. u can check with you plumber.

multi-point heater i think only within the same area leh ie within the common toilet. but u can check it out cos when i left the industry, this was not out yet

the brand is bennington. alpha or 707 has it too, i think.

Haha thanks... shall check out these brands when i do my shopping

now at my current place, the two toilets are also at 2 ends of the flat and we're sharing the storage heater @ common toilet. by the time water reaches the MBR toilet, it's already cooled and the flow is pathetic

not sure if it's our water pressure no good or wad... but a separate instant heater would have done a better job i guess

u wanted to say something, bro joseeng?

yeah, that is one of the problem with storage....heat is lost if travel a longer distance but it's not to great a diff lah...makes a difference to u cos u love urs real hot. Maybe u can do it the other way....install in mbr and connect to common so that the heat lost prob is to common toilet not mbr?

u wanted to say something, bro joseeng?

ya, wanted to ask how come your 2 heaters cost $1500. but after posting, then i realise tat the price was including the rest of your sanitary wares...hahaha...pai seh ar, din read properly your signature...

Sorry forgot how your floor plan is like... if the 2 toilets are next to each other then sure okie de. Again if you're not particular about water temperature, it shouldn't be a problem ba
