donut88 1 Report post Posted February 5, 2010 It takes around 20 minutes to warm it up ler http://www.joven-electric.com/product_elec.../horizontal.asp 20 mins is only for the 1st tank of cold water after installing.... thereafter, it only takes 5-10 mins on daily basis.... in fact if you switch it on in the morning for shower, go work, come home at night, you still can get hot water without even switching on again.... joven is able to retain the heat for whole day......

luvyz 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2010 My contractor only use 1 IN and 1 OUT only. I notice got 3 outlet but I think the other 1 is for pressure release ( safety feature ). Hi, so does it mean that the 3rd outlet is left empty? cos my current SWH is Ariston brand & uses 2outlet only. I am thinking of switching to JOVEN after reading the reviews cos my ariston is leaking. wana go get JOVEN but worried that might have to do additional piping for the 3rd outlet. Please advise. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rxxxxx 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 Dear Pinnacle Residents, recently i just install a water heater storage type. But i notice one thing for my flat, in order to turn on the water heater i can only on it using the heater switch locate near the living room. But the swtich outside the common toilet and MBR toilet can't turn on the storage heater. Anyone encounter the same also? was told that if install storage type, the only way to on is via the switch near living room the switch for common and MBR is for those who wanna install individual instant heater. Can verify whether is it true? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one posted might not have 2-way switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks one water heater is only link to one switch. unless there is a two way switch or the owner request which switch for on and off before install. normally it will be install in the common toilet. if as wat you had mention the only switch is in the living room then where will the storage heater will be installed?

Reno Newbie 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2010 Storage heater allows you to share more then 1 outlet, like basin & shower point, but it is bulky, cost more and waste electricity. Instant electric heater allows only 1 outlet point and is a problem in new flats with conceal piping already laid for mixer taps to more then 1 outlets. I bought an instant multipoint electric water heater by a local manufacturer, 'BENNINGTON" and it actually combines the advantages of normal storage and instant heater and it was working well for the past 3 yrs. Recently bought another piece for my Pinnacle house. Hi Gene, Can you use this with the rain shower? Able to advise the cost and warranty period. Any links that I can check it out!
