You only get hot water from storage heater in approx 15 mins because it needs to heat up the water stored in it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applefreak 1 Report post Posted December 23, 2008 Just to ask again.. this one really have to wait for 15 minutes for the water to heat up is it? if you are staying in a hdb flat then the answer is no only the instant model is allowed for use in hdb flats however, if you are staying in a private property AND taking the storage tank models then you got to wait for the water to heat up why it takes a while to get hot water from your tap is because the cold water already in the pipe needs to be pushed out so if the tap is right next to the heater, it'll take something like 3 sec to feel the water heating up :notti: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
