Installing my new water heater





The new 15 litre Ferroli water heater was installed yesterday. We bought it from a shop at Jalan Besar. Priced at a reasonable $220, the installation fee was another $100. Tipped the electrician/plumber $10 for helping to install a stubborn flourescent tube which I found it difficult to do.

Water heater and a traffic fine !



Finally, bought a water heater tank 15 litre from Jalan Besar for $320 inclusive of installation. Uncle Benny, the manager is a courteous man unlike the sales woman from Poh Seng a few doors away who was rude and unhappy serving us yesterday.



I kena fined $130 and received a 4 demerit points for speeding. WTF !...Lentor Ave is a 3 lane road and the speed limit is 60 KM/P. Below 60 KM/P one has to literary crawl like a snail. I was probably going at 70 KM/P....this whole thing sucks!!

Water heater ( 25 L storage) need replacement


This 25L water heater is leaking badly and needed a replacement. The brand is "espa" and it has been with us for the last 11.5 years, far exceeding the normal life of about 7 years.
The bottom picture is that of "LA" another water heater in the master bedroom bathroom. It replaced the earlier "espa" which lasted only 6 years. In other words, LA has been installed about 5.5 years ago. It is still working.


It looks like I will have to scout around for a new water heater for our second bathroom (to replace "espa").
Understand that "Joven 25L" is a good option. It cost around $250 for the unit and $150 for installation.
Paying is one thing but running around looking for the water heater is another. Then there is also the troublesome part of waiting for the delivery and installation of the unit.
