A homeowner at 780 Pasir Ris Street 71 HDB contacted Homeone after discovering their Ariston PRO 30 storage water heater had become rusty and unusable. The unit showed visible corrosion, indicating severe internal tank deterioration due to age.
Our team promptly conducted a site inspection to evaluate the condition and propose a compliant solution.
Old Water Heater:
Ariston PRO 30
Old Water Heater:
Ariston XC-30
During our site assessment at 780 Pasir Ris Street 71 HDB, our technician found that the existing Ariston PRO 30 storage water heater had extensive rust damage—a clear sign of inner tank corrosion. The unit was beyond its serviceable life and was no longer operational, prompting the homeowner to contact Homeone for a safe and compliant replacement.
In addition to the heater’s failure, several critical safety and regulatory components were missing:
No backflow preventer check valve to protect the drinking water supply.
No drain pipe was connected to the pressure relief valve, risking uncontrolled water discharge.
Missing equipotential bonding, a critical safety provision against electrocution.
These deficiencies rendered the installation non-compliant with PUB regulations and posed both safety and functional risks.
Homeone recommended a full water heater replacement with the Ariston XC-30, a modern, energy-efficient model designed for HDB use. This unit not only improves performance and reliability but also supports proper integration with compliant plumbing and electrical safety systems.
To bring the setup up to PUB standards, we included the following upgrades:
Installation of a new drain pipe from the pressure relief valve
Implementation of electrical bonding to eliminate potential electrical hazards
All work was carried out by our trained technicians under the supervision of a PUB-licensed plumber, ensuring adherence to all regulatory standards.
