oh ya you're the guy that like long shower like my hubby

i never switch off heater when i bathe... need to keep heating the water for me la~ yup it may draw standby current when not heating, but should be very little la, so it's okie if you dun leave it on for too long.

btw i asked hubby yesterday, he said MUST buy good and reputable brand cos for gas heater, lousy one will give you really lousy shower experience

hahahaha... ya, he is the one that takes long shower like your hubby. he always talk abt having long showers.... hehehehe.....

hhmm... its not up to me to choose leh.. for city gas, they only have 1 model for hdb approved .... at least from i see from their website lah. i will go somerset to have a look and see whether they really do have other brand or not. maybe its not common here in SG so not that many choices available loh...

thanks for the info... is the low heating capacity a restriction by hdb? anywhere else sells gas heater in SG?

yup agree that the fear of leakage is unfounded... nowadays gas heater is made much more safer than 20 yrs ago.

it's not really unfounded, or else why would the citygas sales person say that the unit must be installed outdoor or in unenclosed area like the yard? Reason is simply no one can guarantee that leakage will never occur at the joints which are mechanical weak points in the structure as well as the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from the burning of fuel in enclosed environment.

No worries, i am installing it next to the window in my kitchen.

actually in hk, most pple have it in the toilets, we don't have the luxury of space to have service yard hahaha... so long as you keep windows a little open, it's good enough. 20 yrs ago, they always talk about this danger. nowadays design and safety features have improved a lot.

dun put at a place that is too windy i heard, else the flame gets blown off

I guess so. We can therefore choose to die of explosion/poisoning with gas heaters, or electrocution/tank explosion with over pressure with storage heaters or simply electrocution (and possibly scalding) with instant heaters....time for a cold shower

hahahaha... my hubby said he really felt that he was healthier during the period when he bathed with cold water. but after one particularly chilly december, he couldn't tahan anymore and started boiling water with kettle... after that, can't go back to bathe with cold water anymore

yup. my hair stylist also said this before... but he said use luke warm water cos cold water is not effective to wash off oil.
