INSTANT SHOWER WATER HEATERS
Instant water heaters are not only improving our life style but are most
importantly very economical and money saving. These instant water
heaters are relatively new to our South African markets, but are
distributed internationally to most of the continents in the world.
Instant water heaters are found in countries like Germany, England,
Ireland, Saudi Arabia and Singapore, to name but a few.

Instant water heaters are widely used in the hospitality industry,
residential and housing developments, the business sector, as well as
‘Green’ developments.
SAVINGS
Instantaneous water heaters provide hot water on demand. Making their most
outstanding features the savings they generate and not only improvement of life
style.
The savings, the instant water heaters provide, are in the form of:
Very economical (energy saving and cost) and their usage (no need to wait for
water to be heated up, as in the case of a geyser) .
Other reasons why the instant water heaters are the ideal alternative to
conventional geysers:
•Installation Costs: Much cheaper than geysers due to their compact size
•Plumbing Costs: Less piping is needed
•Maintenance:
These units can last for 20 years and more, as parts are
easy to replace if necessary.
•Electricity:
30% - 40% savings and in some instances even more
•Insurance:
Indications show that insurance companies will endorse
these, because they will help to avoid costs incurred from
burst geyser pipes.
•Water:
30% on water saving during a shower, for example.
3
HOW THE INSTANT WATER HEATER WORKS
The way the instant water heater functions is unique in comparison to geysers. A
sensor controls the flow of water into the water heater and then an element heats
the water that flows through the unit. If you turn off the hot water tap, the heating
process stops. (Units include a dial to adjust the temperature to your preference
while being in use.) Hot water is always available, without the water being stored
and kept warm indefinitely until needed, as is the case with geysers. It is important
to note, that whether these units are being used in the hottest or even coldest
regions, they will still save the user energy.
Instant water heaters are available in single-point and multi-point units,
respectively. Single-point units service one point, such as a shower. These units
also have a pump and can thus be used in areas where water pressure is
low. Multi-point units can be used to service 3 points, such as a shower, bath and
basins.

COMPARISON WITH CONVENTIONAL HEATERS
Instant Water Heater advantage:
Unlimited hot water supply. Instant
water heaters will keep heating the
water flowing through it indefinitely,
on demand - hot water when you
need it. They are more durable than
other water heaters. Tank less units
are less likely to leak and cause
indoor flooding.
They can actually improve
your water quality because they cut
down on hard water and other
minerals in your water by not having
a large place – like a tank – for
impurities to gather.

Geyser disadvantage:
Limited
hot
water
from
the
conventional tank-type of water
heater. It is time consuming and
expensive to heat up the water in the
hot water tank.
Compact Size
Much Larger
Most instant water heaters have the
following dimensions: 250mm(W) x
368mm(L) x 112mm(H), 3.4kg. The
water heater fits between wall studs.
Without the usual restraint of the size of
a conventional tank-type water heater,
the instant water heater can be installed
almost anywhere, making it easy to
install closer to where you need hot
water. This permits prompt arrival of hot
water to your shower, sink, or washing
machine (which can also save you
money on piping for new construction).
Its small size is perfect for limited space
applications, such as vacation homes,
mobile or modular, offices, etc.
The conventional tank-type of water
heater will need a higher and bigger
capacity, depending on the size of a
family (possibilities range from a 12ltr to
a 30ltr or 50ltr model). The size is about
3 times that of a normal instant water
heater. Space constraints in an
house/apartment bathroom could pose
a huge problem for the user to install
such models.

Energy Savings (Money
Savings)
Energy Wasted
Purchasing and using an
instant electric water heater,
opposed to a conventional
geyser, will save you operating
expenses in the range of 3040%. It won't take long to pay
for itself with the energy
savings it will produce.
In some instances, it can pay
for itself in less than one year.
Energy is wasted because the tank
water heaters keep the water heated
constantly using energy/electricity
that could have been used
elsewhere or saved.

Save on Plumbing Costs
Heavy Plumbing Costs
Installation could be done in just
a few hours. To save plumbing
costs on hot water piping, it is
recommended
that
it
be
installed directly at the point of
use only. In large homes or
offices, 2 heaters can be
installed to reduce the hot water
piping, reduce energy losses
and provide more instant hot
water to all outlets.
Heavy plumbing costs are
involved with the purchasing and
installation of the mixer valve,
tapping the points to the
bathroom, as well as to many
other points.
