A homeowner at Simon Place engaged Homeone to inspect their existing Rheem 85VP6S storage water heater after noticing water leakage and persistent drops in pressure. Upon site assessment, our technician found that the heater had reached the end of its lifespan and had developed internal tank leakage, making it beyond economical repair.
In addition to the mechanical failure, the existing installation violated several PUB regulations. There was no approved check valve, no stop cock, and no electrical bonding present—raising both water safety and electrocution risks. Given these issues, our team recommended a full replacement. The customer agreed to continue with the same model, Rheem 85VP6S, and the job was carried out under the supervision of a PUB Licensed Plumber to ensure full regulatory compliance.

The inspection revealed the following critical issues:
Water leakage from the heater tank body indicates internal corrosion
No double check valve installed, risking backflow contamination to the potable water supply
No stop cock found on the inlet, which violates SS636:2018 Clause 6.5.5, as it hinders timely isolation during repairs
No electrical bonding, increasing the risk of electrocution from exposed metal surfaces
General corrosion on older fittings, making the entire system unsuitable for continued use
These findings confirmed that the heater not only required replacement due to physical failure but also a complete system upgrade to achieve PUB compliance.
