Ariston Water Heater Rusty: TI 50 H DX Replaced with PRO RS J 35 at Le Wood on 9 Jun 2025

A homeowner at UE Square contacted Homeone after discovering their Alpha ALP 25L-H storage water heater was leaking heavily. Our inspection confirmed a case of "Water Heater Rusty"—with corrosion visibly spreading across the tank body and cold-water inlet.

The issue had worsened to the point where rusty water had entered the old electrical connector box located beneath the heater, rendering it unsafe and inoperative. Several pipe fittings were also corroded and leaking, posing further risk of water damage and electrical faults.

To resolve the issue, Homeone supplied and installed a brand new Ariston PRO RS J 25 water heater—complete with new stainless steel piping (within 1 metre), a PUB-compliant double check valve, and a new heater connector box to restore a safe power supply.

Ariston Water Heater Rusty Replacement: TI 50 H DX to PRO RS J 35 at UE Square

Old Water Heater:

Alpha TI 50 H DX

 

Old Water Heater:

Joven PRO RS J 35

 

Site Findings

The homeowner reported recurring ceiling dampness. When our technician accessed the ceiling void, the root cause became immediately clear: the Ariston Water Heater Rusty condition had progressed to the point of leakage. Rust was visible across the base and inlet joints of the heater, with signs of internal corrosion.

The Ariston Water Heater Rusty condition not only led to structural ceiling damage but also posed serious safety concerns. The dripping rusty water was in close proximity to the power supply, increasing the risk of short circuits and electrocution. The rust had also stained and degraded surrounding pipework.

Key improvements:

  • New heater connector box installed in a safe, dry location

  • Upgraded stainless steel inlet and outlet piping within 1 metre

  • Installed double check valve for backflow protection (SS636 compliance)

  • Earth bonding to meet CP5 electrical safety standards

All work was performed by our team under PUB-licensed supervision, with safety testing and compliance documentation completed.
