409D Northshore Drive HDB

Ariston Water Heater Corrosion: AN2 30 RS Replaced with AL2 20 RS at 409D Northshore Drive HDB on 28 Jun 2025

A homeowner at 409D Northshore Drive HDB contacted Homeone after discovering water marks and rust streaks near the ceiling-mounted storage heater. The existing heater was reaching the end of its lifespan.  Upon inspection, our technician confirmed a clear case of “Ariston Water Heater Corrosion.” The Ariston AN2 30 RS unit had begun corroding around the base and fittings, with signs of water leakage and oxidation.

In addition to the Ariston water heater corrosion, the original installation failed to comply with PUB regulations:

  • No check valve installed – which is required to prevent backflow contamination (SS636 violation)
  • No drainpipe from the pressure relief valve – risking uncontrolled discharge
  • No electrical bonding – breaching CP5:1998 Clause 413-02, increasing electrocution risk

These missing components compromised both water hygiene and electrical safety, making the replacement both necessary and urgent.

📍 409D Northshore Drive

Homeowners at 409D Northshore Drive engaged Homeone to replace a corroded storage water heater that had become unreliable and unsafe for continued use. Due to the compact ceiling space and limited access, careful planning and proper workmanship were required to ensure the replacement was carried out safely and efficiently.

Our team replaced the damaged unit with a modern Ariston SL2 20 RS, selected for its compact design and suitability for the existing installation layout. Despite the space constraints, the replacement works were completed smoothly by one of our trained technicians, with all critical steps carried out under the supervision of a PUB-licensed plumber.

Project Overview

Homeowners at 409D Northshore Drive engaged Homeone to carry out a water heater replacement after their existing unit showed signs of deterioration. Due to the tight ceiling space and limited access, the replacement required careful handling to ensure the work could be completed safely without disrupting the surrounding area.

Why this replacement is needed?

The original water heater had developed visible corrosion, indicating that internal wear had progressed beyond a safe level. Continued use of a corroded unit increases the risk of:

  • Water leakage or sudden tank failure

  • Damage to ceiling finishes and surrounding fittings

  • Reduced reliability of hot water supply

  • Potential non-compliance with current safety standards

Given the condition of the unit and the installation environment, replacement was the most practical and responsible solution. Acting early helped prevent further deterioration and avoided the risk of emergency failure.
