A homeowner at Blk 320A Anchorvale Drive HDB encountered a water heater problem — the unit was not heating properly and was leaking rusty water. Concerned about safety and hygiene, they contacted Homeone to explore suitable replacement options.
After assessment, we confirmed the unit was an Ariston AN 15 R model and recommended a complete Ariston water heater replacement. The homeowner opted for a Joven JSH 25 model, which met their family’s water demands and fit seamlessly into the existing space.
The existing Ariston AN 15 R was not installed in compliance with PUB safety standards. It lacked a double-check valve, drain pipe, and electrical bonding. Additionally, fittings used were outdated and not durable. These non-compliances posed safety and operational risks for HDB living.
1. Supply and Delivery:
We supplied a brand-new Joven JSH 25 storage water heater, complete with stainless steel inlet/outlet pipes and high-quality fittings. The new heater was selected to meet HDB sizing and water pressure requirements.
2. Removal of Existing Heater:
The faulty Ariston AN 15 R unit was safely removed, along with all outdated piping and fittings within a 1-meter radius. Our team ensured no damage to surrounding walls or existing fixtures.
3. Installation of New Heater:
We installed the new Joven heater using high-grade stainless steel pipes and corrosion-resistant fittings. All connections were properly secured and aligned for durability and service access.
4. Compliance Upgrades:
The following essential components were installed to bring the setup in line with PUB regulations:
A certified double-check valve to prevent backflow contamination
A functional drain pipe for proper discharge
Proper electrical bonding for earthing and user safety
All work was performed under the supervision of a PUB licensed plumber, ensuring that every detail met the regulatory standards for HDB water heater systems.
5. Testing and Commissioning:
Post-installation, the heater was tested for water pressure, temperature response. We confirmed zero leakage and optimal hot water delivery throughout the unit.
6. Final Tidy-Up and Documentation:
The work area was thoroughly cleaned, and all old equipment was disposed of safely. We completed and submitted the necessary documentation for PUB submission, providing full compliance assurance.
