Citygas Heater Vs Storage Heater

[titanax 0]

Hi,

I would appreciate some feedback on what is the main difference between the above? If I understand correctly the Citygas heater is NOT storage based, so it is exactly like the Electric Instant water heater, meaning there is low pressure & I will not get the pressure I will get from a storage based heater? But then again, Instant heaters do not use cold / hot water pipes, but this Citygas does. So is it like a hybrid hot/cold water minus the storage requirement?

Also for a 5L model, it heats 5l at a time? How hot can the water be if its "in-line" heating as opposed to "out-of band" heating like water storage.

Also there were some rumors that the gas heater is really hot (not the temperature of the water but generated heat from the equipment), if I intend to use it I will probably mount it on the kitchen wall above my washing machine, but really how hot is hot?

There's really not much info out there on the user experience on the gas water heater as opposed to the gas cooking... :hmm:

Dun be confuse, Citygas is like boiling water with gas, and storage heater is like boiling water with electric kettle.

One is heating as water pass through the piping as water is turn on, the other is still water heating till it reach the required temperature.

If use Citygas, need to pay extra money to settle the pipeworks to locate the heater from the common toilet to service yard if your house is new.

Hope you can understand....

i think i'm beginning to, so since the water is heated as it passes though the piping (gas heated), i assume the "shower experience" would be like Instant heater where the max temp is only 45deg C, whereas for storage you can get it up to 60deg C, im not saying that i want to scald myself, but the option is there

installation of the citygas heater with the plumbings and all might end up costing the same as a 25L storage heater.

Hi,

Anyone has any recommendation for good storage heater ? I brought Amasco Storage heater, within 4 mths, it started to leak very badly !

So thinking of changing to another one. Any recommendation ?
