Finally biting the bullet and bought a water heater for the shower yesterday at Watsadu.
Long story short, as you may guess, I'm taking it back today AFTER installing it with the help of the village sparky.
I had a plan when I walked into the store yesterday, don't engage the staff, no eye contact with any staff until I need them. Saw some nice Rinnai ones, good brand in Australia but before I could grab it and get out a sales lady started talking to my wife. "You have village water with pump, this one no good, get this one, it's the best for the hard bore water." Se showed my wife a Mazuma brand for 3,500 baht, explained it was the best for our needs so I bought it.
Well after installing it we turned it on and hot water started coming out......at a trickle. Not enough water to get wet coming out of the shower head. We have very strong water pressure due to a very powerful pump so it not a problem with the pressure. The sparky said it was the internal piping that was too small and I tend to agree with him. So it's off to Watsadu today to try and get a changeover.
I somehow knew it was going to be a stressful and painful experience getting hot water. Should have left well enough alone, it was good exercise for the Mrs boiling all those pots of water and carting them into the bathroom.
