<\/div>\n

Water heaters are high-voltage appliances which can be dangerous and even fatal if not properly installed. Here\u2019s all you need to know about electric water heaters: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can buy two main types of water heaters in Singapore:<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first type is the storage water heater, which is more common in landed properties and condominiums. Often installed in the false ceiling of the bathroom or in the service yard, it consists of a tank containing heated-up water. In addition, it has more consistent temperatures and water pressure as compared to instant heaters.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

The second type is the instant water heater, which heats water up only when the power is on. Cold water travels through the appliance and is instantly heated up by the electrical heating elements. Instant heaters take up less space as they are in the shower area itself. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Improper installation and maintenance are the main causes of mishaps<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Singapore, water heaters go through stringent testing before they are being sold. Thus, they are safe as long as there are proper installation and regular maintenance. However, poor maintenance or incorrect installation could result in severe burns, electric shock, explosions, and fire.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety Precautions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before purchasing a new water heater, look out for those with safety features such as built-in thermal cutouts and plastic-based inlet\/outlet isolation barriers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engage a professional electrician or plumber to install the water heater. Don\u2019t try and do it on your own if you are not trained. <\/span>Make sure all the wiring is done by a certified professional so you don’t run the risk of electrocution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such was the case when an elderly couple and son were found dead<\/a> in their flat after the cables in the plug for their instant water heater were overloaded and fused together. The plug had a 13-amp fuse but the maximum current when the water heater was operating was more than 14 amps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After installing the water heater, check again and ensure that all pipes and electrical heating cables are connected properly and correctly; this ensures that electricity is isolated from the water that flows out.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

 Remember to maintain the water heater every six months. Water minerals separate and settle at the bottom of the water storage tank when water is heated. Therefore, the sediments buildup over time and create a barrier between the burner and water. To prevent sediment buildup, drain and flush the water heater every six months. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, note that the average life of a residential water heater is ten years. It is recommended to change your water heater once it reaches the ten-year mark. However, if you notice any of the warning signs listed below, repair or replace the heater immediately. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning signs of a faulty water heater:<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

#1 Exceptionally hot water or water tanks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the water coming out of the faucet is exceptionally hot and turning down the setting on the water heater thermostat has no effect, it may be that the thermostat has malfunctioned. Overheated water can also indicate that the TPR valve is faulty; it is not releasing excess pressure from the water tank when the water gets too hot.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

#2 Leak marks on false ceilings <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Noticed leak marks on false ceilings? This may suggest water seepage in the water heater.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An overheated or old water heater may cause the metal in the tank may expand, cracking the heater and thereby, causing water leakage. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 Discoloured, foul-smelling water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cloudy water or a strange scent are signs of a failing water heater. A cloudy brown or reddish colour could indicate that the water heater tank or house pipes are rusty. On the other hand, bad sulfurous\/ sewage-like scents could be due to bacteria growth in the water heater.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

#4 Noisy water heater<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your water heater is making a popping, rumbling noise, it is an indication that it has been used for too long and sediments have accumulated in the tank. While the noise itself poses no harm, too much sediment buildup can cause a leak or the electric heating element to burn out.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
