A homeowner at Banyan contacted Homeone after experiencing issues with their storage water heater, a Rheem 61SVP10S unit that had been in use since 2003. The heater was no longer delivering hot water efficiently and showed signs of deterioration typical of a system well past its end of lifespan.
Understanding the urgency, the homeowner requested a professional evaluation. Homeone conducted a site check and advised a full replacement to avoid any further performance issues or safety concerns.
Old Water Heater:
Rheem 61SVP10S
Old Water Heater:
Joven JSH25
Upon inspection, our technician confirmed that the heater had aged significantly, with mineral buildup and internal wear common in units over 20 years old. Fortunately, the plumbing layout and fittings remained structurally sound.
The only compliance issue found was the absence of electrical bonding, which is essential under PUB safety regulations to ensure electrical safety in wet environments. Other than this, the setup was clean and accessible, making the replacement process straightforward.
We recommended a Joven water heater installation using the Joven JSH25 model, which provides reliable heating performance and is well-suited for the household’s water usage needs. This model also fits within the existing space and pipe alignment with minimal modification required.
To ensure full safety and performance compliance, we also proposed:
Installing a new electrical bonding connection
Connecting the heater with stainless steel inlet and outlet pipes
Integrating a double-check valve and stop cock to improve water flow control and prevent backflow
Assessment & Removal
Verified power and water supply shutdown
Removed the aging Rheem 61SVP10S heater safely
Checked wall and bracket integrity for new installation
