Hi everyone

and I want instant hot water supply

looking for a water heater that:

Instant Heat up water (no more 1 hour waiting)
Use Electric (no gas no coal no LPG)
Single Phase (no money upgrade to 3 Phase,no sure is it even possible for a flat)
14.4kw+ power (looking for higher power for 2 bathroom,14.4kw are the highest power I seen so far in uk)
Do sale and exist in uk (maintain/repair/UK regulation issue)

Any brand you know with comment are great!whatever good or bad

more detail:
My flat in birmingham have soft water,lime scale is not an issue(5X softer than london)
Able to upgrade the household electric service to 100Amp

many thanks for your help!
my last post about america heater
http://www.ukplumbersforums.co.uk/ce...er-heater.html (Instant tankless electric water heater?)

EHC Slim Jim 14.4kW

EHC Fusion 14.4KW

EHC Fusion Electric System Boiler 14.4 KW

Comet 14.4kW Electric Boiler

Any other brand? not much I found on google

they are all about £1k include VAT, Comet look better from my view,but no idea it is good or not.

Thanks, it seem for some reason the single phase instant electric water heater in uk can't have a power beyond 12kw? I try but can't find the reason/document about this limit, if anyone know why please let me know!
 
My company went down the route your posting about last year - specifically with regards
to properties off the mains gas supply. The American stuff will not work in Uk - it is generally 3 phase - most homes in uk are single phase and there is not enough power

SO AFTER NOT A LARGE AMOUNT OF THINKING WE BINNED THE CONCEPT- you cannot get 'a quart of of a pint pot' although we all try on friday nights ..centralheatking

You are right, but ecosmart offer high power Single Phase water heater thats why I have this post. I think ecosmart physically can fit in and work,but I plan to get a water heater sell in UK now because of the UK regulation/maintenance/repair issue.
 
I try to google a decent 14.4kw instant water heater which exist in uk and forget the us heater idea, any brand recommended?
I find EHC Fusion but not sure are they good? Too few brand offer these product.
