A homeowner at Ripple Bay Condominium contacted Homeone after observing water leaks and rust stains around their ceiling-mounted water heater. Our inspection confirmed a typical case of "Ariston Water Heater Rusty." The installed Ariston PRO R S 56SHE unit had reached the end of its lifespan, with clear signs of corrosion and active leakage from the tank body.
The tank’s enamel surface was discoloured and streaked with rust. Brown water traces were visible at the base, and water was seeping from multiple points, indicating internal corrosion had compromised the tank’s integrity. Additionally, the original installation lacked a double check valve, which is essential to prevent backflow into the clean water supply and is required under Singapore Standard SS636.
Homeowners at Ripple Bay engaged Homeone after noticing visible rust and corrosion on their existing Ariston storage water heater. The condition of the unit indicated that internal corrosion had already progressed, making continued use unsafe and increasing the risk of leakage or sudden tank failure.
Following an on-site assessment, our team confirmed that replacement was the most appropriate solution to address the corrosion issue before it escalated into water damage or safety hazards. To maintain consistency with the household’s hot water usage and installation layout, the homeowners opted for a same replacement using the same Ariston PRO R S 56SHE model.
Homeowners at Ripple Bay engaged Homeone after identifying visible rust and corrosion on their existing Ariston storage water heater. Concerned about safety and long-term reliability, they requested a professional assessment to determine the most appropriate solution.
The existing Ariston water heater showed clear signs of corrosion, indicating that internal tank deterioration had already begun. This condition posed several risks if left unaddressed:
Increased likelihood of water leakage or sudden tank failure
Potential damage to surrounding bathroom finishes
Higher risk of system non-compliance with current PUB requirements
Reduced reliability and shortened remaining service life
Once corrosion becomes visible, repairs are typically no longer effective. Replacing the unit early helped prevent escalation into water damage, safety hazards, or emergency failure.
