comprehensive and safest installation ive seen so far in youtube

[@cayetanojed]

Thank you very much!

[@aliceuy5837]

ang dami ko nang napanood na videong tuturial sa pagkabit ng single na water heater sa inyo ko lang lubos na intindihan ang tamang pagkabit ng item na ito...thank you so much ...keep up the very good work jed...

[@cayetanojed]

Maraming salamat po 🙂☺️😊

[@drw1926]

Hello sir, thanks for posting. Would you happen to know if this unit is made in Japan? Or some other?

[@cayetanojed]

Hi, I did not check the 'Made In..' information. However, I know we have a Panasonic manufacturing site at Santa Rosa, Laguna. I checked their website and the main appliances they manufacture are refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, and electric fans. It may be possible that they assemble these water heaters there as well. The parts would probably just come from other countries like Japan, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc.

Pa shout out po 🤗

[@RudolphOdendaal]

Hi Jed. Where could it be bought online - where overseas shipping is offered?

[@cayetanojed]

Hello! It depends where you are since water heater models may differ in every country. In our case here in the Philippines, I got from a website called Shopee similar to Amazon, but it is also available in major hardware stores like Ace Hardware.

[@user-jm4cd2py1c]

sir, may nakaready na bang grounding yung pinagkabitan mo nung 3prong outlet? paano po kung wala pa, kasi common ang walang grounding dito sa pinas.. thanks po..

[@cayetanojed]

Yes, meron na ground connection na nakaready sa household. Kung wala pa, I’d suggest you get a licensed electrician para maginstall nun, though di ako sure kung magkano yung sa ganun. Typically, maglalagay sila ng ground rod sa labas ng bahay for it tapos sa standard color code green wire ang gamit

[@tinocrz817]

Hi Jed, just asking if this model has a water flow switch, meaning mag switch off yong motor ng heater if you close water supply. Also regarding sa ground wire is it necessary nga naka baon cya sa lupa, or sufficient na yong naka lagay lang sa water pipe or other metal structure connected to the ground. Many thanks for a very informative vlog.

[@cayetanojed]

Hello Tino, yes there is a sensor that makes the heater work only if there's active water flow. In fact, may advice nga sakin before sa store when I was asking about this product that the heater may not turn on if there is very low water pressure, although I have not tested that kasi ok naman water pressure sa residence namin. For the ground naman, I will try not to go very technical about this. If you have no other choice and you are sure that the metal pipe or structure is actually and reliably connected to the ground (you can use a tester to measure resistance: dapat zero or close to zero and voltage between metal structure and one of the AC wires which should be about 110 volts, kalahati ng 220), then you may do so. Problem lang kasi minsan is kapag nagkocorrode yung metal structure over time, hindi na siya reliable for grounding kasi tataas yung resistance niya with respect to ground. Kaya yung standard is to use a copper wire. Hope this helps!

My shower heater is Panasonic model DH-3JP2 with Jet Pump n ELB, bought more than 10yrs ago ok pa, n still in stock sa ACE Hardware. The jet pump will not shut-off even close na water supply faucet. Pangit pakingan sound sa jet pump, so you'll be forced to switch it off. Wla na talaga cya water flow sensor switch???

[@tinocrz817]

Thanks Jed sa mga replies more power to your vlogs.

[@cayetanojed]

@tinocrz817 yan siguro yung model na may malaking button na pinepress. Not really familiar with that model since hindi naman kelangan ng residence namin yung extra pump sa unit. I think may manual din sa Panasonic website about it, you may want to check that out too

[@tinocrz817]

​@@cayetanojedhi Jed, will adding RCBO to my existing wiring connection will improve earth leakage detection event without proper unit grounding??? Tnx sa reply

[@raffydabu6552]

Sir yung gnagamit mo rn ba switch ng shower yung puti na knob sa heater?

[@cayetanojed]

Gamit ko yung stock nung shower fixture ko, pero pwede rin gamitin yung puting knob malapit sa heater

[@digestGin]

😮😮😮

[@WallyBaylosis]

Sir, tanong ko lang kung may amoy ba yong tubig after ilang days or weeks kung di magamit yong water heater

[@cayetanojed]

wala naman.. maraming beses na kaming nagbakasyon ng ilang linggo pero pagbalik namin sa bahay, wala namang issues sa amoy or anything.

[@jamirahcassan9204]

Hi po! Sir, ung ELB test button po niyan gumagana po ba ung sa inyo? ung saakin kasi hindi😢 pag pinipindot namin ayaw naman bumaba nung orange color ELB lever niya. anu po dapat gawin don? same unit po ng denimo niyo po

[@cayetanojed]

Make sure nakasaksak yung unit at may supply ng kuryente. Kung hindi parin gumagana kahit nakasaksak na, better reach out po sa pinagbilhan niyo ng unit and check the warranty coverage. Kung out of warranty na po, you can reach out to Panasonic, they can probably help you with locating a service center nearby

[@user-hg8gr1ci3x]

Hellow sir.. my sarili bng booster pump ung panasonic?

[@cayetanojed]

Hello. walang pump etong model DH-3PL1. Pero may ibang model si Panasonic na may pump, di ko lang maalala yung exact model. You may check their website, too.

[@elljhae08]

Meron po ibang model dh-3jp2 price 13,499... May jet pump po yan

[@KimwanTV]

Pwede magpagawa cabinet ng bus? HAHAHAHA

[@kennethgaliz3247]

Anong gause ng AC cable na ginamit nyo sir?

[@cayetanojed]

AWG #14

[@user-mc1cu8js5v]

Hindi b pang lighting or 15 amps n breaker #14 n wire?

[@madarambong4326]

normal ba na biglang nainit yung tubig? nkaset sa maligamgam tapos bigla iinit tapos maligamgam nanaman..

[@cayetanojed]

Yes. nangyayari yan habang ginagamit mo yung shower, then pinatay mo yung tubig, tapos binuksan mo uli, parang biglang init di ba? tapos babalik sa normal set mo na temp. Meron kasi niipon na contents ng tubig sa loob ng chamber na may heating element nung time na pinatay mo yung water. Yun yung tubig na parang biglang init.

[@user-mc1cu8js5v]

Sir ilang ampere circuit breaker.

[@cayetanojed]

30 amps yung breaker ko sa main panel.. may built na din na miniature breaker yung unit sa loob. yun yung para sa ELB feature

[@jong2987]

Sir bat yung amin tama naman yung pagkaka install pero di umiinit yung tubig

[@cayetanojed]

Hi, sorry sa late reply. Assuming naka-ON naman water heater at naka dial sa mainit na level yung temp adjustment knob, possible na mahina yung water pressure to trigger the heating element sa water heater. Pero kung malakas naman, might be good to contact your seller for warranty coverage.

[@benjamindiones4104]

ano size ng wire ng outlet Sir?

[@cayetanojed]

Kung yung sa wall outlet mismo, I think #12 yun na stranded wire. Provisioned na kasi yun ng condo, kinabitan ko nalang ng 3-prong outlet.

[@benjamindiones4104]

@@cayetanojed thank you Sir sa sagot

[@benjamindiones4104]

isang tanong pa Sir ilan watts ang panasonic DH-3PL1?

[@benjamindiones4104]

at magkano?

[@cayetanojed]

3.5kW yung power consumption spec based sa documentation

[@justinmontalban]

Lodsss

Ask ko po ano ng different yun na single point yun isang bilog lang or 2 bilog

[@adriancasas630]

sir, where is your location? parang mas okay na sayo na lang kami magpakabit 😂

[@cayetanojed]

Hello, I’m based in Metro Manila. Usually naman, pagbinili niyo yung item sa Ace, Handyman, etc. nagooffer sila ng free installation so I think mas ok kung sa kanila niyo ipakabit. Meron din kasi iba navovoid yung warranty daw kung iba yung magkabit ng appliance. I’d also suggest to have an electrician, mas ok kung electician na rin yung magkakabit kasi may mga rating or sizes yung wires na nagseservice ng kuryente sa unit. Hindi kasi ako electrician, it just so happened na may provision na dito sa unit namin. Hope this helps 👍👍

[@raffydabu6552]

Tanong ko lang sir san nyo sinisindian yung sa taas ba na valve or yung valve mismo sa may heater. Slmat

[@user-mc1cu8js5v]

Pweden b 30 amp ss model n iyan

[@cayetanojed]

Yes, 30 amps yung breaker ko sa main panel.. may built na din na miniature breaker yung unit sa loob. yun yung para sa ELB feature

[@tomasmaann]

Sir, okay lang po ba di nilagyan ng ground wire ito?

[@cayetanojed]

gagana naman po siya, pero risky lang kapag nagkaroon ng contact sa live wires sa loob
