I don't remember what I paid last week (there are a lot of things I don't remember now...) for three Stiebel Eltrons at Citi Hardware... but it was nowhere near 12,000. I think it was closer to 7,500 or so per unit? Two units were fairly high capacity and one was very low. Soon, I will be able to test them in use and report how they work... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair to Lazada, Ace did have units at the 12,000php price point as well - I suspect Lazada are only selling the higher priced units. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If I buy from my local store they give me the 1 year warranty and if anything goes wrong they will be straight out to fix. Whereas if you order online it’s harder to fix, sending parts back, time consuming and some don’t have the warranty. Also had friends order from both sites and it has taken over a month for delivery to this island. But thanks for your help. I think I’m going to buy the 3 Panasonic Electric Showers from UNI Homes here in Bantayan. If the water pressure is not sufficient then I will buy a decent water pressure booster pump and if needed a compressor! Thank you everyone for your advice and replies. Much appreciated, have a great day! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Much appreciated, have a great day! My pleasure Darren. Lazada provides a good service for things you cannot get hold of elsewhere - I wouldn't order anything I could get in a store nearby. The delivery is slow, agreed. And the warranty, as you say, may be problematic. I think you're going down the right path - try the units first and see how it goes, the problems may be intermittent dependant on how variable your pressure is. Regardless, I'd say having a hot shower option is desirable. Good Luck! 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Then if the water pressure is not great add a water booster jet pump? Link to post Share on other sites

It may be that not all of the units work well together but how often will all 3 be used at the exact same time anyway? Again, just be aware that water pressure may vary so you'll need to evaluate the situation over a period of time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

carbpow 180 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If you put a pressure tank and pump with about 3/4 hp you will have no problem with pressure ans supply to the heaters. If you have paying guests it is best to keep them happy. :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
