707 Water Heater Replacement: KENSINGTON 25 Replaced with Ariston PRO RS J 25 at 92B Telok Blangah Street 31 on 26 Apr 2025

A homeowner at 92B Telok Blangah Street 31 contacted Homeone after their existing Kensington 25 water heater became non-functional. The unit had served beyond its expected lifespan and showed signs of internal failure. The client requested a safe and reliable upgrade. We recommended and installed an Ariston PRO RS J 25, completing the job as a fully compliant “707 Water Heater Replacement.”

Upon site inspection, we found that the existing installation lacked two key components required under PUB regulations:

  • No double check valve, which is essential to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the potable water supply (SS636 violation)

  • No electrical bonding on the metal components and water pipes, which poses a risk of electrocution in the event of a fault (CP5:1998 Clause 413-02 violation)

  • Project location

The installation includes a new stop valve, double check valve, drain pipe, electric bonding, and 2.5mm² wire, and a submission has been filed to PUB to ensure safety and compliance with PUB regulations. Additionally, Homeone offers a 1-year warranty on this installation, complementing the manufacturer's warranty, ensuring peace of mind and reliable service.
