purplesky 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Purplesky, instant heater sure can go with bath tub. the issue here, is whether the water will be hot enuff for you or not. Imagine this..... the instant heater is basically a heating coil whereby it heats up and the water just passes thru it. After the water come out from the showerhead and into the bathtub, how long can it stay hot? whereas with a storage tank, the water (all 30L of it) is already heated up and then goes onto you tub. which is better?An alternative will be to use the gas operated water heater, this will basically "boil" your water and you can use the mixer to adjust your temp. Downside is that you need to have it installed out of the toilet and the gas piping has to be exposed.then again...... bathtubs are nice and I've thought of getting one for myself too. However, looking at the size of our toilet, I dont think i would feel relaxed soaking in the tub. A rainshower will be more practical IMHO..Hihi Oh Oh,Thanks for sharing! !! That's precisely why i asked that question lor. Cause i scare by the time the bath tub is filled up (by instant heater) and u soak in it, the water is not hot liao, then damm sian already. Hence would like to ask any one who have that combination (instant heater + bath tub) to share whether is it hot enough. Me still very not keen in the storage heater unless really no choice mah. As for gas heater, didnt wanna consider that it's because of the piping too. Sian, so much decisions to be made. Lol, u have the same thinking as my bf. He also feel bathroom so small put bath tub also not shiok, so he wanted a rain shower while i WANT my bath tub mah. So must fiqure whether a instant heater can do the task to statisy the both of us @ the same time or not! !! Haha! Must find one that can support my bathtub and his rain shower! Btw, what are u using? So u be using rainshower? Rain shower + instant heater = Enough pressure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h4happy 1 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Thks again for everybody input on storage heater and instand heater and bathtub.I might go for instant heater.Please for those who gonna have bath tub, plse ask yourself how many times you were use the bath tub? 1 week once, everyday, 2 week once etc.. cos the filling up can easily hit 30L of water! That is alot!I also have the intention of having bathtub..but then cancel off due to not everyday use it and you need to maintain it. I mean you need to scrub the tub once in a while (due to soap, etc...) It will tend to be very slippery if never maintain it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simpleboi 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2008 Hi Simpleboi,I see. Thanks for sharing. Yap, that's the reason why i'm thinking of switching back to using instant heater. Cos really sick of waiting for the storage heater to heat up @ my current plc also when after a few persons shower already, not enough hot water liao. But though 1 thing good abt storage heater is that they seems to be lasting longer. I mean longer lasting. My old plc using instant heater, they seems to be spolit faster than storage heater. Hmm, now i just need someone to tell me does instant heater able to go w bath tub (water hot enough to fill up the tub) and also to go w rain shower (ie able to installl together or not , and is the pressure enough?) Any neighbours can help? Hi purplesky,Welcome So u will be getting bathtub? Hehe.. if only I can have nice bathtub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do think of that, in fact my bf also told me that, but up to this moment, i'm still very keen, my only fear is that if only using normal shower and not bath tub, and the part of getting in and out of it, is very troublesome and dangerous nia. If fact i thought of doing 1 bathtub, and 1 separate shower stand in the toilet, haha, but too bad our HDB flat toilet are way too small to do that unlike ang mo's house whose toilet can manage to install the 2 and still got a lot of space inside!! Hi purplesky,Welcome So u will be getting bathtub? Hehe.. if only I can have nice bathtub Hihi Simpleboi,Haha, i do hope so lor! Most likely will bah. !! But first must gonna make sure my instant heater can go well w both bathtub and rain shower first. If not then might change the plan liao!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
