Supersimon27 2 Report post Posted April 28, 2010 Hang on, brother. Thought storage tank is more cost effective than instant heater as in you turn on for 5 to 10 mins before use and that's it. Okay, piping wise is more expensive than just running on instant heater but that's a one-off. After that, cost saving starts to kick in for a storage vs a instant, no? Cheers. yes. but u need to like plan 5-10min in advance mah . Shower maybe ok . But if just want to wash a face , u might not turn on the storage heater and wait 5-10min b4 u wash yr face. End up u only use it for shower . Then like defeat the purpose liao . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh..bro...I think in hot country like singapore, very few will use hot water to wash face or rather use hot water for basin bah. And usually u will have left over hot water from your prev wash, and probably still warm enough? keke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In terms of cost, instant is still more cost effective. yes, no 2 storage heater in the same flat, anyway, u dun need 2 in one flat. That only applies to landed houses with a couple of storeys high and many toilets. Edited April 29, 2010 by samgalz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That only applies to landed houses with a couple of storeys high and many toilets. yup yup it's a matter of personal preference but if your preference is cooler water then it's good cos can save some $$$ hahaha for some HDBs (esp the newer ones?), the 2 toilets are side-by-side so they can share the same storage heater. But for mine the toilets are at 2 different ends of the flat so a bit hard to share.... i may just go for instant heater @ common toilet to save some cost... you mentioned multi-point instant heater... so can just run a hot water pipe from instant heater to kitchen, is it?

Haha thanks... shall check out these brands when i do my shopping now at my current place, the two toilets are also at 2 ends of the flat and we're sharing the storage heater @ common toilet. by the time water reaches the MBR toilet, it's already cooled and the flow is pathetic not sure if it's our water pressure no good or wad... but a separate instant heater would have done a better job i guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
