A comfortable, neat, and clean bathroom is the dream and a basic sanitation need for everyone. To achieve this, there are many efforts you can make, one of which is providing a warm water shower facility. Proven to have many benefits, a study from Loughborough University London found that taking a warm shower for a certain amount of time has effects equivalent to a 30-minute walk and can relieve stress.
Therefore, it’s no surprise that innovations in related bathroom essentials, such as water heaters, are becoming more abundant and easier to find. Especially at AZKO, you can find many variants of water heaters, from electric-powered, tank-type to tankless. To find out which type suits your needs, check out the complete tips below!
Match It with Your Electric Power Capacity
The amount of electrical power in your home greatly affects the type of water heater you will buy. If you don’t have any issues sharing electricity with other electronic devices at home, then an electric-powered water heater is the right and very practical choice. Usually, this type of water heater is tankless, so you don’t have to wait for the water to heat up before using it. Warm water will flow instantly once the heater is turned on. However, there are also electric water heaters with tanks available, which usually use less electricity.
But for those of you with limited electrical power at home, choose a water heater that uses gas or solar energy. Besides not interfering with the electricity usage of other electronic devices, gas water heaters are among the most energy-efficient. Especially suitable for homes in highland areas and with many residents.
Prioritize Installation Efficiency
When choosing a water heater, also consider the ease and efficiency of installation in terms of time, effort, and cost. This is closely related to calculating the required pipe length, power source, availability of hot water lines, and the bathroom area size. For small bathrooms, choose a tankless water heater because its shape is smaller and more compact.
Also, your choice can depend on whether your bathroom already has a hot water supply line. If available, you can install either a tank or tankless electric water heater since hot water will flow instantly through your shower. If not, you’ll need an intermediate hot water flow via faucet installation that channels hot water to the shower.
Have an Electrical Safety System
Having electricity flowing in the bathroom area is highly susceptible to short circuits that can lead to heart attacks or even death. Prevent this by choosing a water heater equipped with an electrical safety system, such as an ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker). This device functions to detect any electrical leakage current, indicated by an indicator light.
Consider these three points above, then decide which water heater is your choice for a more relaxing shower at home! Whatever your choice, you can easily find them only at AZKO. There are tank-type electric water heaters from KRISBOW (Image 1) and tankless instant electric water heaters from the ATMOR brand (Image 2). Both are also supported by an ELCB electrical safety system as recommended above.
