Hi,
Just done a pre seasonal check and clean and found my Malaga E water heater has split on four of the studs, you can imagine the result as I re filled the system!! The price for one of these units is £400.00 and to be honest I never use gas to heat the water and was wondering if it could be replaced with a 1kw 10 litre under sink in-line water heater? Price is about £90.00 so you can see the appeal. I would love to know if this is possible, the only thing it obviously wont have is mains water pressure, would this be a problem? Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the reply Gary,
I was looking at a 1kw unit as a replacement to keep amperage down to a minimum. The old unit ran at 750 watts, so there is an increase of about 25% but we are sited with a 16 amp supply. I know its not an ideal fix but I just wondered if it would work.
