Instant Electric Heaters

Instant Electric Heaters

Instant electric heaters are the most popular type of residential water heaters in the Philippines.  They come in two types, based on application:  shower or single-point, and inline or multi-point.

Shower or single-point heaters are designed for non-pressurized use (e.g.  No valve controlling the water is located after the heater.)  Shower heaters come with shower head and accessories.

Inline or multi-point heaters usually serve multiple showers or sinks.  Because outlet valves controlling water are placed in one or more locations further down from the heater by the hot water line, inline water heaters must be designed to withstand built-in pressure while the valves are closed.

Whether single point or multi-point, the modern instant electric heater only activates when water is flowing inside the heater.  This ensures longer life for the heater element.
