Lin & L3x 1 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Hi L3x According to wat i understand, gas heater is not tank storage, its like the instant heater, xcept a little bigger and the 8L capacity means dat it can heat up 8L of water flow. it wil take a while like instant heater to heat up, as for consumption...once u turn off the tap, its off. We r using it for both toilets and the kitchen sink. As for rain shower, we are getting the mixer separate from the rose wif a regular shower spray for a quick shower. The usual storage tank is an eyesore and also may hv leakage from the tank after a few years. Info from Citygas: http://www.citygas.com.sg/index.php?option...=58#product_div If its really as per wat u explain, den its worthwhile to buy it. Made me interested aso.. But Citygas website nvr announce any intention of the freebies, how u noe it?? Hi MLR, hmmm... juz checked wif Citygas... he told mi installation for gas piping to my stove is a standard $100 charge. Then i ask abt the Heater, he told mi its $148... but i suppose its juz the heater w/o the installation bah... so u know how much r they actually charging to run the gas piping to tis heater?? is it another $100?? I aso wana noe the charges for the gas piping leh.. How abt the water pipes? Edited April 30, 2008 by Lin & L3x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I called up Citygas juz nw, the gas pipes r 2 separate things, meaning, they will run a gas pipe to ur stove area. then another to the heater. the gas heater they r selling is $148, and installation of the gas piping to tis heater is FOC... tis is the promo thingy... So, that means its not $100 for the piping to the stove then another $100 to the heater... its ONLI one $100... Think its a catch... anyway, i confirm install le... hehehe... MLR, I got the "all-in-one" thingy... Comes wif the rain shower head, an additional shower head, a "tap", and the mixer... model is ROZ EE168, cost $364... bought tis model cos match my basin tap! haha... Tis is for my MBR.

Wat I meant is dat my mixers is a GROHE set dat i got at a steal from an exhibition, its the exhibited set. So, i got the rod, rose, and the smaller head for $140 from Hoe Kee. It is attached via the flexi steel pipe to the outlet of the mixer. Actually I think in the long run, gas heater is still cheaper than instant heater, cos the heater is $148.00 + $480.00(hot water piping), where each instant heater is around $200 ($200 x 2 = $400) and electricity costs more. Nex As for the ? about copper vs stainless steel pipes.... there r many different grade of stainless steel, my renovator offer same price for copper and stainless steel, but its a lower grade of ss, so it will rust. SS looks gd, but copper function better with heat. If u want SS, hv to get a better grade SS, I wil check for the acceptable grade and post it here... U nid info urgently?

MLR 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 Hi Nex For Stainless Steel (SS), 304 is the common grade that is offered, it is a low grade that rusts over time. The acceptable grade is 303(won't rust), highest grade is 316... but price unacceptable though (about 2-3 times more than 304). Hpes tis is useful.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lin & L3x 1 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 oh yah, yesterday my uncle went up to help mi settle the electrical works... then i realise that a few wiring trunking on the top r empty one... dont know is it for our future use or wat... hmmm... so have u tot of who to get for ur bomb shelter rack?? cos i really no idea... thinking of DIY... but heard my friend who did it say, DIY he onl save less than $20, and it took him one whole day to fix it up... so he say might as well let other pple do... take it as the $20 as their labour fee... haha... I tink the trunking is still laid even though theres no wire in it, cos HDB tink its weird with 1 side of the wall wif trunking & the other side of the wall without trunking? But I try to remove the trunking as much as possible if dun require. I'm shortlisting for rack aso, stainless steel one.. Duno we can get a better price wif bulk purchases.. Hi L3x Actually I think in the long run, gas heater is still cheaper than instant heater, cos the heater is $148.00 + $480.00(hot water piping), where each instant heater is around $200 ($200 x 2 = $400) and electricity costs more.
