linsullen 10 Report post Posted June 29, 2014 Ok i know nuts about storage heater. All i know is that the shower and taps are like the hotel type, come out hot and cold. Ive been living with instant water heaters my whole life so this is new to me.So far the brands ive gathered are Alpha, Joven, Ariston, Champ & Mistral.Should i get a 25l, 30l or 35l for a 4 room flat. Currently now living there will be just me and hubby, but maybe 2yrs dwn the road our parents might be staying with us. Dont know why but i feel that a square design is nicer to the eye, but if the round one serves more purpose that i dont mind.I went to their websites, but even when i read the specs i still do not know what to look out for.The most important is i want something that can last long, no problems, fast to heat up, easy to manage... Pls do recommend me and your opinions and reviews will be much appreciated. Thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMC 12 Report post Posted July 6, 2014 I have 4 ariston 25L in my house and I will not recommend anyone to buy this brand.I have claimed warranty for all 4 units and they are starting to fail again. Tank leaks!I am in the process of renewing all my storage tank heaters to Joven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMC 12 Report post Posted July 8, 2014 Never seen a bto flat before, don't know how developer run their hot cold piping.Generally, I stick to 1 heater per bathroom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastlovin 1 Report post Posted July 8, 2014 Oh no I was deciding between the Joven 35litre and Ariston 30litre storage heater for my flat and eventually went with the latter. Installed already but my renovation works are still ongoing so yet to try it. GMC, your experience is scaring me a little! Lol. Will report back after I've moved in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alphaev7 1 Report post Posted October 10, 2014 i got a 35L Joven JH35 HE storage heater for 2 bathrooms with rain shower. If u can afford the space, the price difference is only $20 for 25L to 35L. Just that it takes slight longer to warm up if it is bigger.Another question -- do you guys turn off the water heater or just let it auto shutoff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
