Panasonic’s new U Series Jet Pump Water Heater is sleek, safe, and lets you immerse in a spa-like shower

Having the Panasonic U Series Jet Pump Water Heater in your home is having a shower system that understands your every need, ensuring a blissful, worry-free and comfortable start to your day.

When creating a perfect sanctuary at home, convenience is key — and few brands understand convenience as well as Panasonic. Just last year, the worldwide leading electric and electronics brand introduced WIFAN, a WiFi-enabled fan that’s not only hassle-free and time-saving but also energy-efficient. This time, we’re looking at the perfect finish for a bathroom haven: Panasonic’s U Series Jet Pump Water Heater.

With ‘smart homes’ being the latest buzzword in urban living today, it’s natural to feel a little apprehensive about just how quickly technology advances — especially when it comes to the bathroom, where we go to unwind and relieve ourselves after a long day. What if we tell you we’ve found the perfect shower system that is not only ultra-safe and ultra-convenient but also looks absolutely sleek?

Enter the new Panasonic U Series Jet Pump Water Heater, a ‘comfort first’ shower system with the promise of a ‘clean and worry-free’ shower, offering you cutting-edge technology while also designed with nine safety features that help to prevent electrical hazards. (now that’s smart.)

Comfortable and convenient

While we all look for convenience in a modern shower system, what’s just as important is comfort. The Panasonic U Series Jet Pump boasts a ‘spa-like’ shower experience, and it certainly delivers on that pledge. Stepping into the shower first and foremost feels luxurious. The sleek and glossy finish fits effortlessly into the bathroom, and its asymmetrical design is a nice touch of à la mode.

Here’s a neat feature that comes with the new U Series Jet Pump: three personalised shower modes, with each one perfectly suited to your needs. Just got home after a long day in a fully air-conditioned room? Warm up with just the touch of a button. Need a fresh pick-me-up after being outdoors? No worries, Panasonic’s U Series Jet Pump has a setting for you to cool down! There’s also a ‘hot and cool’ option, for when you want something in-between, which allows you to adapt to the water or surrounding temperature comfortably.

Comfort takes a full dive with the U Series Jet Pump’s shower head. Its water texture feels cool and pleasant. And here, you can also adjust it three ways: ‘normal mix-spray’ shower head for full coverage; ‘wide’ to feel the intense jets of fine micro-droplets cleansing the body from lethargy (a perfect way to gently ease the body into resting mode); and ‘spot’ that zeroes in on the specific pain points to undo any tight knots and tense areas, mimicking the feeling of a deeply satisfying massage after a stressful day.

You’ll be happy to learn (as we, too, are happy to discover) that the Panasonic U Series Jet Pump Water Heater is super easy and convenient to use. With a one-push switch to turn the system on and off, you’re set to go. And thanks to U-Memory built into the system, creating personalised settings has never been easier. Sharing the unit with family members or roommates? Just save your own favourite shower settings — the Jet Pump Water Heater remembers. You can also easily switch between your presets of preferred water temperature and texture, all with a button’s push.

(Ultra) safe and worry-free

If you’re worried about the new Jet Pump Water Heater potentially causing a fire or electric shocks, here’s a tip: don’t. The water heater has been designed to protect against all kinds of hazards, to ensure your safe haven in the bathroom stays a haven. The Panasonic U Series is built in with nine safety features to help prevent electrical and fire risks before they can even happen.

For starters, the shower panel is water-resistant and splash-proof to protect all of its internal components. Plus, the Ag+ Crystal Material over the panel also prevents the growth of bacteria so you won’t have to worry about how damp it might get when you’re in the shower — or whether it could create a potential breeding ground for bacteria.

At the heart of the U Series Jet Pump Water Heater is of course the source of heat itself, its highly-durable copper heater unit. Made from self-extinguishing, non-combustible copper, the unit is conducive to a much higher level of heat resistance — specifically so that it can prevent overheating and fire. On top of that, the insulated structure of the shower unit protects the user against dangers like electric shocks by providing a safe enclosure against external access to the unit’s most ‘hazardous’ parts.

Need more safety reassurance? We’ve got you. Panasonic’s U Series Jet Pump Water Heater is smart — in the sense that it can detect trouble before it manifests. Included in the unit is a Water Flow Sensor, which automatically cuts off the power supply when the water flow is too low or absent. This prevents the water temperature from going way above and beyond, or even overheating. After all, the water heater is meant to be comfortably hot for us, not scalding.

When it comes to keeping safety in mind and having convenience at its core, Panasonic clearly has it in the bag. The technology and design developed for the U Series Jet Pump Water Heater only affirm Panasonic’s position as a worldwide leading electric and electronics brand. And while you blissfully enjoy a worry-free shower, you can also take time to appreciate the sleek design, chic yet minimalist for the modern bathroom.

The new Panasonic U Series Jet Pump Water Heater is priced at RM818, and is now available for purchase. Learn more about it on its website or on its official e-commerce site.
