I bought this storage heater before. There is something seriously wrong with the pressure relief value rated 120psi.

1) There is loud 'farting' sound when then heater is switched on+turn on shower.
2) Rheem changed heater for us. Not that I am ungrateful, but the water pressure suddenly drop until abt 30% of original pressure.
3) Rheem manager come to our place troubleshoot. (Again we are grateful) Changed the pressure relief value and the pressure is now strong again. Now still got fart and bubbling noise but less severe and more intermittent than originally. Sighs, got to live with it.

Advice, if you get it, dun install in master bathroom as it may wake you up if someone shower early morning in common toilet.

They’ll turn it on for 7D for u to conduct defect check. If u don’t apply for SP Acct after 7D it’ll auto-shut.

Water:
A. To turn on water open ur DBB, a handle is provided in a plastic bag tgr w all electrical & piping legend plan (note don’t throw it away, scan or take a snapshot in case u lose it and may need it later)
Use e tap handle turn on water from outside your unit. You’ll also need a screwdriver to remove e cover of the main tap.

1. Fill a bucket of water, pour every part of e floor to check if water flow smoothly towards the wastetrap, if it doesn’t — mark that spot defect, they’ll hack & redo for u.
Floors of:
a) kitchen, b) service yard, c) bathrooms

2. Fill up bucket of water again, pour it directly into all the wastetrap located in all e bathrooms, service yard & kitchen. Check that it doesn’t get choke, flow too slowly, or if debris rise out, mark it defect for them to fix it.

3. Check all taps including e one located in SY + WC for:
a) water pressure
b) if e valve is working properly.
c) any leakage on e pipes
d) Leave e water running for 5 mins for luck, energy flow, cleansing.

Electricity:
Check that every power socket works, remember to check DB Box as well as bomb shelter (most ppl forget this rm)

Thereafter u won’t need electricity or water anymore until your Reno or rectification work by BSC that requires electricity.

So u can start applying online on March 2018 and u don’t have to pay for all those buckets of water $$$ you used for defect checks. SP will not charge u for water/electricity before your application. Confirm by SP

The free water/electricity is also e reason why defects check should be done within 7Days.




hi, i am collecting my keys on 19th feb... can i say that on the day itself i need no open an sp acct but yet i can proceed to my unit and still have water for defect checking ? how will i gonna turn on the water etc ?

Which model number? RSX or EH series?

Rheem has a few model number I’m using Rheem now as well for the last 10 years - no problem.

EH (5 years warranty)

RSX (3 years warranty)

Who on earth Of all places install in the Masterbath, that’s the Master’s bathroom, suppose to be e most beautiful bathroom not for storage tank.

Heater storage tank are either install in the common bath or service yard. If aesthetic is important as sound.
The EH series should be installed inside a false ceiling.

It is the RSX series. No choice, my parents wanted install in master toilet decades ago.:s22:

I will be moving the Rheem RSX to my new house service yard, then buy a more quiet/silent one for my parent's.

Try Jovan $246 comes with 10 years warranty anti-leak (common problem of most heater)
Or Gas Heater in SY. Never tried before but it’s a popular brand now w free gift.

I like Rheem because they specialize in heater, service is good, installed in most condo. Been using it from house2house.

Items I bought recently:
• Rheem Heater
• Lightings (still short of 4) there’s 13 lighting points to fill.
• Apply for relocation from ISP
• Jacuzzi Bathtub
• Panasonic Aeros System 4 (Installatiom next week)

Hunting next:
1. Bathroom Accessories Towel Rack, TP holder
2. Cooker Hood
3. Mould guard paint
4. Wallpaper
5. Volvo changing to cheaper car save petrol.

I’m not renovating much this time, I’m making everything portable, ID to make modular cabinets, portable counter bar, each time I move gotta leave it behind and when buyer invite u to house warming ya heart break seeing everything is hack off.

Then I’m good I’m moving in soon 🤣 :s12:

I selected unit on 27th Nov. Grant still not processed. Unit beside mine(which was still available when i selected my unit) already got their keys when i went down last week to see the surrounding of my new home. How do i go about to rush them? Which email do i email to and what do i say? I was hoping to move in my April but now it seems impossible.

I called last Monday and went down to hdb last Wednesday to speak to manager(?) to rush but still no news till now.
