pbr 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2011 Hi all,Can anyone help to enlighten me on the pros and cons for the different types of water heater?1) Gas heater2) Instant electric heater3) Storage heaterJust going to spew my unhappines here about my gas heater.We have the Macro MA-10FE. It has a digital thermometer on it.The problem we face is that it takes about 2-3 seconds before the gas turns on, then it takes another 10-20s for the temperature to reach it set value of 50C. Then, if you turn off the hot water for a short time the whole thing starts again.So for example, when in the shower and you turn off the water for a short while to save water (while washing hair or washing your kid) the water will be first warm (hot water that was in the pipe) then cold for a while (when the heater was off and before it switched on again) and then warm again.Secondly, this heater was meant for 3 outlets but when a second source is used the water in the shower will go cold....The worst thing I find is the problem that the water goes cold when you turn it on and off. For the kitchen I also like to use hot water to rinse things (baby bottles for example) but you frequently turn the water on and off, this makes the hot water like a morse signal (hot, cold, cold, hot hot, cold)Anybody else has this experience?

Irritating to discover the battery is flat when you are expecting hot water to come out from your shower head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
