BEST SHOWER WATER HEATER?
in asia the water heaters for showers are all mounted on the wall of the shower (as opposed to central heaters for the entire building)
if anyone has experience with these --
my guess is they are all chinese or korean
which wall-mounted shower heater seems best?
which break down or don't perform?
which last longest?

Don't agonize over it, there isn't a massive number of brands and they arent expensive. They aren't a complex piece of kit so there isn't much difference in them.
Check the power level, if you have strong water pressure then you'll need a more powerful heater.
Some also have booster pressure pumps in them, but I've never had one like this so can't speak.for.how useful they are.
My brand is Panasonic and I have no complaints

I’ve got a power shower. If you’ve got low pressure they are handy but for the extra cost, around double, they’re not worth it.
pew, pew, pew, pew!
Don't worry about treating your husband to a hot shower, real men take them cold & he won't complain & you won't have to worry about 'performance' issues or 'lasting longer'.

one I used in a hotel in Belgrade was 6 times as big as the asian ones, but not as good.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 6:16 amDon't agonize over it, there isn't a massive number of brands and they arent expensive. They aren't a complex piece of kit so there isn't much difference in them.

Under voltage ? Reduce the Voltage 30%, and you only get half the power. Combine that with the probably heavy stuff own heat capacity of the device, and it'll take ages to reach its intended temperature.

Huh?
Just using my kettle these days to heat a tub. It is only a short time we can enjoy these northern temperatures.
Yeah, you seem to miss a lot of knowledge. Let me explain. When the Voltage drops from 230 Volts down to some 170 Volt (not uncommon in the past Soviet times), the electric Current on resistor type of appliances goes down the same rate. And since Power = Voltage * Current, the Power goes down with the square of that decrease.

You are definitely a sharp cookie yourself. Top marks. I understand the physics, but thanks for the condescending and patronising explanation. It's your English that is particularly confusing.v12 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 1:39 pmYeah, you seem to miss a lot of knowledge. Let me explain.

This sentence makes no sense to me. Also we are talking about an electric shower, no? - if is going to take ages the water will be long gone. It's real time heating.
But I could be wrong. I have been before.
Maybe English isn’t his first (or second language) or he’s just a bit of a dunce.
pew, pew, pew, pew!

Second language English speaker - pretty sure he said that before. But i'd be careful going on the offensive if my posts were confusing...
