We all love our hot showers, <\/span>there\u2019s no doubt about that. And <\/span>whether <\/span>we get to enjoy these warm showers through <\/span>heaters<\/span> such as <\/span>the storage or <\/span>instant<\/span> type, <\/span>there is a high possibility that the<\/span> majority <\/span>in Singapore<\/span> might prefer the <\/span>instant water heater<\/span>. Why? Because it is known to be<\/span> cost-effective, easy to install<\/span>, space-efficient<\/span> and <\/span>dependable.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two resources involved when using an\u00a0<\/span>instant water heater<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 <\/span>electricity<\/span> and water. When the former powers the <\/span>instant water heater<\/span> through the unit\u2019s heating coil, you get hot water <\/span>instantly. This<\/span> also means that as long as you <\/span>are having a<\/span> hot shower, there is a constant flow of electricity <\/span>to power the heating elements. This<\/span> can be dangerous <\/span>if the electricity is not properly isolated from the water that is flowing through it. As such,<\/span> it\u2019s important to take <\/span>the necessary safety precautions<\/span> when it comes to using these<\/span> instant electric water heaters<\/span>. To help you out, <\/span>here are five <\/span>instant water heater<\/span><\/a> safety tips.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/b> Have Your <\/b>Water Heaters<\/b> Professionally Installed<\/b><\/h3>\n

Many of us prefer to DIY (do-it-yourself) a lot of things, including<\/span> the installation of<\/span> instant water heaters<\/span> because it is cost- and time-efficient. However, it is best to ask a professional to help install your <\/span>instant water heater<\/span> for safety reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

This step is crucial because if<\/span> the <\/span>instant water heater<\/span> is not installed correctly, it could cause electrical issues<\/span>. As a result of this, it can affect everything from your<\/span> shower experience<\/span> to even<\/span> increase the consumption of energy and water<\/span>. At times, it can also lead to<\/span> the need for costly repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Install <\/b>the Water Heaters at a S<\/b>uitable <\/b>H<\/b>eight<\/b><\/h3>\n

You may be wondering why the <\/span>instant water heater<\/span> should be installed at a suitable height. Again, <\/span>this must be done<\/span> for safety reasons. If you install the <\/span>instant water heater<\/span> at any height lower than the head of the tallest person in your household, it can cause a short circuit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, the <\/span>instant water heater<\/span> should be installed at a higher position to ensure a comfortable showering experience <\/span>and allow for the easy use of the water heater<\/span>. Besides, <\/span>by doing so,<\/span> you can enjoy a higher water pressure during your bath time.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Check the <\/b>P<\/b>ower <\/b>C<\/b>onnection<\/b><\/h3>\n

Sudden power cuts can occur and this can cause <\/span>an<\/span> irregular flow of electricity, which can damage your power connection over time. During the installation<\/span> of your water heater<\/span>, make sure that your electrician uses new and high-quality wiring for the <\/span>instant water heater\u2019s<\/span> power connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is also important that you check the power connection regularly to minimise the damage to your <\/span>instant water heater<\/span>. Should there be any issue with it, immediately contact your electrician and avoid using the <\/span>instant water heater<\/span> until the issue has been <\/span>rectified<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Perform <\/b>R<\/b>outine <\/b>C<\/b>hecks<\/b><\/h3>\n

Install your <\/span>water heaters<\/span>, and you\u2019re all set for years to come right? Wrong! It is extremely common for individuals to not conduct routine<\/span> checks on <\/span>their <\/span>instant water heaters<\/span>. However,<\/span> it is highly recommended <\/span>to do so<\/span> as it helps to spot potential faults before <\/span>any underlying issues lead to<\/span> hazardous accidents. <\/span>To ensure you are performing the proper routine checks, try to find out if your <\/span>instant water heater<\/span> needs regular servicing when you are purchasing it.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may also want to routinely test your temperature\/pressure relief valve, <\/span>which is<\/span> designed to keep your <\/span>water heater<\/span> from exploding if the temperature or pressure exceeds the safe limit. You can do this by lifting the lever<\/span>, which you can locate by reviewing the owner\u2019s manual, <\/span>to release built-up pressure<\/span>. Upon opening the pressure relief valve,<\/span> water should flow freely<\/span> out of the discharge pipe<\/span> and stop when you release the lever. If there is no water flow, you need to replace the valve.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Switch <\/b>O<\/b>ff <\/b>the <\/b>Water Heater<\/b> W<\/b>hen<\/b> N<\/b>ot in <\/b>U<\/b>se<\/b><\/h3>\n

Every household has a switch for anything connected to the power grid. This includes the <\/span>instant <\/span>electric <\/span>water heater<\/span>. <\/span>As mentioned, s<\/span>witching on the <\/span>instant water heater<\/span> allows <\/span>electricity<\/span> to flow through the heating coil, giving you hot <\/span>water<\/span> in an <\/span>instant<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, because <\/span>Singapore<\/span> has a temperate climate that can be warm all day, you should switch off your <\/span>instant water heater<\/span> when not in use. This will prevent it from overheating and minimise electrical damage to your <\/span>water heater<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
