Re: What brand of Water Heater would you recommend?

nice choice sir...

Bro I tested their service center also before deciding. I tried to call them and see how responsive they would be. Seems like they do know what they are doing.

Solar ... anyone?

This is one of the cheaper (if not cheapest) ones, 'Mercury' brand, supposedly made in Korea. Various sizes, starts at P18.5K for 100 L. Hard to decipher the manual, but seems to be working OK ... two years so far.

You'll have to do breakeven or ROI calculations and maybe bring in 'intangibles'.

Roger bro .... I'd go Panasonic na. Tks

DH-6GM1P
6.0 kw
needs 30A breaker
9.5K pesos w/ free install as of this posting

Would a 30A breaker be enough for a 6kW heater? If I remember my high school electricity classes, 6000W on 220V is about 27A.

For technical questions probably best to call Panasonic service center.

I would love to go green Guad, unfortunately the condo doesn't have room for that since there are 10 more floors above me before I get to the roof

SWMBO got Panasonic 6kW for kid's bathroom and 8kW multipoint for our bathroom. But installer said susunugin raw ang wires namin ng 8kW so she's replacing it with6kW.

plus unless you have a bath tub to fill ding you will only be needing 6kw or less.

Re: What brand of Water Heater would you recommend?

Been using my Panasonic multipoint water heater but not very happy.

My problem is that it swings from hot to cold within one short shower session. It seems that the thermostat opens when water gets too hot, allowing it to cool a bit (and thereby regulate temp) but it does not close the circuit quick enough.

Tried setting it in Low, Medium, and High but same result.

Any suggestions?

Do you think something's wrong with it?

I've installed a multi point in a condo and so far I've had no complaints from the tenant.

Re: What brand of Water Heater would you recommend?

Yes. My old water heater (Champs) which broke down already would stay only in one temperature. I would turn the shower dial to the desired mix of hot & cold and throughout, the water is at the temperature I set.

Sir baka may problem sa water pressure. Sa house ng mom ko Pag sobra lakas or hina ng water pressure nag on-off yung heater. Solution pinalitan ng single point ok na.

The thermal switch has a longer time gap than JayL's. Also the Flow switch may have some calcified sediments. If this problems were present since the unit was installed try to check if there are stones or sediments in the line going to the H2O inlet. If there aren't any line blockages you may want to contact your vendor and have the unit serviced/checked for a possible replacement. The reset and thermal overload switch may have to be checked. Sometimes when MWSS services water lines in your area their repairs cause particles and other impurities to lodge in the unit. Install a small pre-stage filter (5 microns up) for sediments. This will prolong the heater's life.
