bearie 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2007 Hi, anyone using the gas storage heater provided by city gas? will the water turn hot immediately when u turn on the tap? cos my husband afraid that our child might be scalded with the hot water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kensanctuary 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 Citygas free heater is not STORAGE heater, it is a INSTANT heater. so, of cos will hot instantly. Although I will sign up for Citygas, but I will not get the free heater, not comfortable to put at kitchen, esp the pipe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kon 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 why not consider installing both? haven't actually tried it before, and not sure if it's possible, but if can why not? we have been using the free gas heater... if given a chance, might not be using it anymore unless it can be installed together with an electric heater...but if your concern is your child get scalded with hot water, then i would think both gas & electric heater are equally 'dangerous' ?

A380 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 You can set the temperature on Citygas at 42 degrees(recommended). So your children will not get scalded. Storage heater is always maximum temperature, so you got to use the bath mixer to get the correct temperature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zirhk3355 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) I want to know about the pros and cons of gas heater too, although abit late lah, last friday citygas people just came up to install.For those who are using it already, anyone having rain shower? I want to install rain shower but the guy warn me that only storage heater above 15L will have enough pressure for the rain shower.Also, about the heat; rather than worry about scalding someone, I worry that it might not be hot enough? Cuz HDB gave me hot/cold water at every tap, so wondering if two persons are bathing at both toilets and someone is using the tap for hot water, will the gas heater be sufficient cater to all these? It seemed rather small size... Edited July 1, 2007 by zirhk3355 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found out that my block doesn't have city gas, I have to get either electric instant/storage heater.it's more of the gas heater is capable of heating up 5l of water per second onlyrain shower will take almost all of it so if both shower on at the same time, no enough hot water to distribute to boththen become lukewarm liao loh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
