wont this mean when the 30 liters is finished I will end up with a cold shower? would prefer the instantaneous as the warm water is ongoing.

thanks, I will have a closer look at these area of the current system, I found a ladder hidden at home so will try again as from the ground I was struggling to get the cover off I am after more pressure rather than hot temperature, agreed doubling the flow might make the water not quite warm enough.

I guess it wouldn't be too hard to wire a separate heater to the fuse box on a separate circuit, but the contact I had at Seibel Electron answered today with this. "Our service and installation partners have not been doing parallel installations for some time now as in the past there were too many issues associated with the precises dimensioning of the pipes. Small mistakes in required pipe lengths can result in unsatisfactory flow through the 2 separate units." anyone know a company in BKK could setup such a parallel system and wire from the fuse box? cheers

I have been advised that the wire to the current heater is supplied by 2.5 mm cable and the circuit breaker is 16 Amp, anyone know if this will allow another 3500 W heater in parallel?

thanks STWW, that is a very good logical solution, I have asked a contact at Siebel Eltron to see if one of their partners can do this for us.

I thought it was the narrow size of copper pipes inside that was restricting it? do you think there is a specific part that can be removed? currently we have a sharp wh55 installed

thanks we considered that too, but we are a bit space limited so would prefer the current setup

hi everyone my new Grundfos water pump based in our home in BKK delivers 19 liters per minute, but the shower water heater restricts it down to 8 liters per minute. I heard that all water heaters in Thailand are restricted to 8 liters per minute? anyone know if this is true or not and can anyone suggest a shower water heater model that can allow more? I realize that if we push more water through it might not heat the water sufficiently however I am not looking for a very hot shower, just to take the chill of the water and have more water flow. I have also been told that I cant go higher then 3500Watt otherwise I need to recable to the fuse box. thanks in advance to all helpful suggestions. here are my testing results testing water flow per min - results With heater connected cold water 8 liters With heater connected hot water 8 liters With no heater connected but with hand shower 16 liters Tap only 19 liters

yes totally agree it comes down to liters per minute, the websites I have looked at are scant on this type of detail. do you know a site where they list liters per minute? how many liters does your shower \ heater put out? cheers

thanks for the information very interesting, I will look closer when I get back to the home. might come back to you on this as you appear to have some experience with it.

I don't want the water to be too hot, just to take the chill off the water, currently we have a Sharp 3500W CH-55, more concerned with trying to keep the pressure of the water up, we just put in a Gundfos Scala 2 am I right in thinking the higher wattage models have bigger pipes and can take more water flow? thanks all.

hi everyone, the shower water heater appears to be restricting flow of the water too much. want to buy a new one that has the largest internal pipes so we can maintain the water throughput. any helpful suggestions much appreciated?

got it, thanks

the pump is 10 years old and only 150 Watt. I am going to buy one of these https://product-selection.grundfos.com/au/products/scala/scala2?tab=models

Not for quarantine for high risk contact ( testing negative ). I dont understand what you mean sezze the policy says I am covered as soon as I pass immigration.

my policy says I am covered when I get past immigration, where if the test is positive I am covered for quarantine. Luma insurance

hi all, about to purchase a water pump, 2 level house, with a big water tank in the kitchen next to 150W water pump currently installed. house is in northern suburbs of BKK upstairs shower pressure is poor. someone is trying to talk into me into a 400 W Carina https://www.homepro.co.th/m/p/1151775 anyone had any experience with this Carina brand? I was thinking to buy a Hitachi or Mitsubishi Also this is an automatic pump but I was preferring a constant pressure pump, is there any great difference in performance? any helpful suggestions much appreciated.

hi everyone, this page says https://www.thaivisa-news.com/ship-household-items-to-thailand-for-retirement/ household items are duty and tax free for those on retirement visas. Is it the same for my wife (Thai National) and myself being on a non O visa? anyone know of any official website for info? thanks in advance.
