Titan Water: Titan n120, the Tankless Water Heater

I drink a lot of water - out of tanks and bottles of course. But my girlfriend has bought something (priced $ 230 "cheap"!) which she technically described as a "Titan n120," an apparently amazing Tankless Water Heater. My first thought was "if there's no tank, where do you get the water to heat?'). Opps, Bad call, men will be men.

As curious as this Titan water thing was, I decided to find out what can carry no water but has a facility that heats it. Come on, we men are great with cars, fixing them and the stuff but not water and its associated content, for Gosh sake!

Anyway, here's what this "Titan n120" looks like:

So what is this Titan Water thing?

Well, as the names suggests the Titan n120 is a tankless water heater unlike the "normal" tank-and-heaters we use at home. I went through the product's manual and it says that the Titan "continually heats water instantaneously". It seems that the Titan is one of the most popular and highly-recommended home appliances.

The copper/brass chambers that form the water tank is apparently "extremely resistant to hard/mineral water", according to the manufacturers. The copper/brass chambers in the tank make the heater resistant to mineral deposits and hard water, reduces oxidizing acids and corrosion.

More info from my girlfriend:

According to my girl, the water heater is one of the most popular products a proper woman can buy. I checked out ebay,, amazon and a host of independent suppliers and almost all of them seem to have the Titan n120 among their best sellers.

More info from GF: You can install the Titan water heater anywhere - except outdoors (*shock*) - where there is an electric socket and a supply of water to heat and the appliance is easy to install. BUT not by YOU - you need a professional to install it for you - the reason is, the device involves the use of electricity.

Phew, so much for Titan heaters and girlfriends :)

The only UC Browser version that works on Samsung Wave 525 (Bada OS)

It's been about 4 years since the Samsung Wave 525 was launched. When it came out in 2010, it was one of the best mid-segment "smartphones" that hit the market. How many momentous, technologically-superior smartphones have come and gone since the Bada OS Wave? The 525 must now feel like a dinosaur - and it is. In terms of its web browser, the most troublesome dinosaur ever. Prior to using the Samsung Wave, I'd used several other phones and none gave me any problem when using the internet as did the 525. Browsing experience had never been so much a problem unlike the one the 525 gave me since i bought it three years ago. The various versions of UC Browser , a nifty little mobile browser that was touted to be the "fastest browser" for mobile phones that time, was the choice of wave 525 users. The only problem? In a world where every app and gadget was either android or windows, none worked for Bada OS (Samsung's own operating system). The Sams...

Overview of Sony Ericsson W995: The Little Walkman

The Sony Ericsson w995 Walkman is a relic from the glorious collaboration of Sony Corp and Ericsson. Yet, the 'Walkman' slider phone, released in 2009, remains one of the most popular mobile phones in the market today. An overview of the phone will give us amble reasons why even mobile phone reviewers still cannot beat the little device down, even in this age of the Xperias and the iPhones. Here is an overview of the main features and specifications of this hardy little Sony Ericsson flagship phone. Overview: The Sony Ericsson w995 is a "Walkman" Slider phone. When it was released in 2009, the device offered probably three of then-biggest features to mobile phone users - a then-unheard of 8.1 Megapixel camera, 8GB Memory Card and 3G - one of the first pre-3G era phones that came with a 3G network band. My guess on the reasons for the phone's popularity is users' relentless hunger for big MP cameras. Only high-ends such as the Xperias, the Nokia Lumias and...
