Using for 3+years for bto , no issue.

Hope hdb can install a stop valve at shower mixer, front spout ( toilet?) in case it leaks.

Very troublesome as need to off it at corridor.

Wow lau. Ocs charged then give u brands that are sold in normal hardware shops?

 

[pushtopen]

showerhead change, usually default one got build in filter/notch to "save water"

usually not removable, at least in my case - have to change and specially go look for showerheads with no/removable filter/notch

otherwise its ****ing rubbish - bathing takes 20 mins instead of 10 because of how weak the flow is

Use less soap then no problem

no leh, really got big difference

So they purposely use the shower heads with small nozzle so u dun use more water?

yup, all the taps and heads got, even toilet bowl also is those use less water to flush one

tap no problem cos wash hands or fill kettle nia

toilet bowl also, use so little water until toilet paper or shiat always stuck cannot flush down

but showerhead cannot la cos really buay song to shower in a dripple

most of the time its a plastic notch that is built in at the base of the head which covers half of the opening that the water flows through that you can't file or cut off or the base only has a small hole which allows water to flow through - cutting open or enlarging the hole spoils the head which is a ****ing stupid design flaw

Those ah tiong brands better meh? So those 4 or 5 ticks Japanese spoil easily?

Every Japanese brand out there are no longer reliable and full of mobo problems, this is confirm.

Korea brands like LG is even worse.


I spoke to m air con tech friends and none could give me a word which one is better.
If that's the case, then as well go for Greely or Midea.

The only reason why those air con techs don't like is because they don't have spare part and i think there's some error code they can't do themselves or something.

It’s called a thimble - specifically, a water-saving thimble:

But no, they are removeable … in fact you can request for them and they will be given to you in a pack like this 1, for free.
