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<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-25837 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/storage-water-heater.jpg\" alt=\"storage-water-heater\" class=\"wp-image-25837\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/storage-water-heater.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/storage-water-heater-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Often installed in the false ceiling of the bathroom, it consists of a tank containing heated-up water.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-25838 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/instant-water-heater.jpg\" alt=\"instant-water-heater\" class=\"wp-image-25838\" width=\"700\"\/><figcaption>Instant heaters take up less space as they are in the shower area itself.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-improper-installation-and-maintenance-are-the-main-causes-of-mishaps\"><b>Improper installation and maintenance are the main causes of mishaps<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-safety-precautions\">Safety Precautions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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&#8217;t run the risk of electrocution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such was the case when an elderly couple and son were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/singapore\/elderly-couple-son-died-electrocute-jurong-water-heater-bathroom-fused-wires-2551426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-25839\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/electrician-repairing-water-heater.jpg\" alt=\"electrician-repairing-water-heater\" class=\"wp-image-25839\" width=\"700\"\/><figcaption>Engage a professional electrician or plumber to install the water heater.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-warning-signs-of-a-faulty-water-heater\"><b>Warning signs of a faulty water heater:<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-exceptionally-hot-water-or-water-tanks\"><strong>#1 Exceptionally hot water or water tanks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-25840\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/water-too-hot.jpg\" alt=\"water-exceedingly-hot\" class=\"wp-image-25840\" width=\"700\"\/><figcaption>Exceedingly hot water can indicate malfunction.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-leak-marks-on-false-ceilings\"><strong>#2 Leak marks on false ceilings <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noticed leak marks on false ceilings? This may suggest water seepage in the water heater.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-discoloured-foul-smelling-water\"><strong>#3 Discoloured, foul-smelling water<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-25841\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/rusty-water-pipes.jpg\" alt=\"rusty-water-pipes\" class=\"wp-image-25841\" width=\"700\"\/><figcaption>A cloudy brown or reddish colour could indicate that the water heater tank or house pipes are rusty.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-noisy-water-heater\"><strong>#4 Noisy water heater<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.
