I find 25L tank is alittle small. Cant really support if 2 person bath one after another.

If no space constraint, can consider Rheem water heater. Not ex and quite good.
Bro, alternative solution for small heater to be sufficiently hot and small capacity is to buy a 3kw heater instead of the usual 1.5kw but make sure your electrical wire are able to handle. Mine is 3kw with normal size wiring so it tend the wire tend to get hot while switch on at the initial turn on and I will switch it off immediately after using.

The storage capacity is crucial for usage. TS's 25L tank is 2.5kW and Rheem model is 3kW for 25L to 100L tank. I think the breaker size shld be 20Amp type and the cable size should follow suit. Unless alibaba contractor using alibaba quality and size.

Just an update.

I contacted Poh Joo Hardware and was quoted $260 for a Joven 35l storage heater, same price as Ariston 25l.

If it is Ariston 40l it would cost $330.

Labour wise, it would be $120 for the same size, same model heater and $180 for others.

The plumber's appointment was a few days in advance as it was near to Chinese New Year and timing was tight. Took about 4 days to book.

I chose the Joven 35l at $260 and labout cost of $180. Finally heater was fixed. Process took about 1.5 hrs.

Thanks for the suggestions.
