Normal Shower vs Rain Shower – Rubine Water Heaters

Rubine is one of the most popular home appliance brands in Singapore and Malaysia since their products are designed for local weather and living conditions. Considering Rubine products are exceptional and affordable, most families in Singapore are interested in purchasing Rubine water heaters for their homes.

The Rubine 1388 instant water heater with a normal shower and Rubine 2388 instant water heater which also has a rain shower are some of the more popular water heaters in the series.

Rubine instant water heaters have a thermo cut-off feature that will cut off the power supply when the temperature exceeds the safety limit to ensure that you enjoy hot showers.

Each water heater is designed to work with a power supply of 230 volts and is rated at 3500 watts.

Importance of Booster Pumps

What Is A Water Heater Booster?

Usually, the water pressure in your home is low due to water supply-related issues. In these cases, the user notices that the instant water heater is not producing enough hot water, thus spending time adjusting the heater settings. Therefore, it is suggested to buy a new instant water heater from an installer that includes a booster pump to increase enough water pressure. Keep in mind that Rubine RWH-2338 is the only one that has a booster pump.

Benefits

• The main advantage of a booster pump is that you will never run out of a hot water supply. 
• Improves energy efficiency of water heater since it consumes less electricity.
• It is water-saving since hot water is always available, and cold water will not have to be wasted.

 

Your Shower Choice

An installed water heater with a normal shower is best for cleaning since it has higher water pressure. On the other hand, a rain shower offers you a relaxing bath, although the pressure may be low and not all dirt can be removed. Installing a rain shower is expensive and complicated. Installing a water heater with a normal shower is comparatively simple. Therefore, families who want multiple shower options and can afford it should choose an instant with both normal and rain showers.
