yunodie, are your sure the water pressure really bad on 2nd/3rd floor. You got the key and tested on the unit or based on your assumption?

Either you install a pump ($1500 + electricity bill) at tank area or you get plumber to do a bypass ($400) at tank to increase pressure...

Either bypass or pump, then you save money on buying water heater w/o the pump.... assuming the savinf for each water heater w/o pump gives you $250, then you'd have save 1k here.... up to owners to weigh the pros & cons of both bypass and pump

bypass or not, the incoming pressure is low to begin with. If you do a bypass, when are you are using water at your kitchen tap, and your kids are showering at the top floor, there you go, piss strong water on both end. Most importantly, it is not fair for the neighbours, you are affecting their incoming pressure as well.

Agree. without a pump, it can be compensated by installing heater with pumps but I for one would love to have a good shower with strong water pressure. For owners who are not as 'cerewet' as me, water heater with pump should suffice.

At first sound like is a must have!!

Now if the incoming is low to begin with, then a good old reliable water pump will be needed at the meter and the tank area. However i believe most of the time, the incoming is strong, just the tank to the toilets are low. The bypass is done typically at the incoming into the tank hence the kitchen tap will not be affected even in use. If not mistaken, even the garden tap is coming from the tank for new houses these days (someone should try this).

The neighbours incoming will hardly be affected by the bypass. This is my experience as i'm currently staying next to this area. As a matter of fact, most of the houses here does the bypass (save cost). Even if one does not install a pump at the tank but buys a heater with pump, the water pressure is still lousy as compare to using pump/bypass but w/o heater pump (do compare against landed properties).

The only setback abt bypass is that when there is no water or low pressure at the incoming then you will experience normal low pressure but it saves you on electricity bill. With pumps, you get consistent pressure all the time but incurred higher electricity bill + maintenance of the pump after 5 yrs or so depending on model. In addition, then you may probably have lower water pressure b4 installing the pump when there is a blackout. I think the chances of blackout is higher compared to water cuts.

Just my 2 cents.

im not exaggerating when i say it is lower than my piss, i only recently installed a heater with pump recently in my bathroom where im staying right now, the pressure is o.k, without it, it is like piss trust me. Try it yourself and you would know. Pump at tank is not a must but heater with pump is a MUST.

regarding electricity consumption, pump these days come with small pressurized vessel, hence the pump would not kick in everytime you turn on the tap, thus reducing the kwh.

Any idea how to renovate the ground floor room? I personally find that the room is too huge for a maid room.

Hi, all neighbors, nice meeting with you all here, haha, now only join this forum, hope you all are doing well and looking forward to meet you all face to face 1 day smile.gif
I not yet receive the key handling letter, hopefully soon. About you all sharing the water pressure problem, my current house is Town House and it is at the hill side thus facing this issue when moving in. The contractor advice us to put pump in the pipe so that can increase the water pressure. A lot of my neighbors did it n now, after 3 years facing another problem which is the pipe broken and the water seep in from the wall itself :'( so we have to be very careful while facing this issue.
2ndly wanna share also I have been to many many Reno & ID company to do comparison about the house Reno (excited yet tired too) so I found 1 very good and reasonable price, can share the link with you all
https://m.facebook.com/AlamSuriaID
My Full house reno include kitchen, wardrobe, plaster ceiling, lighting, grill...ect only rm 60,000 hehe. Some more got EPP and they say is only promotion for first 20 units for Alam Suria, and so i taken, may i know who else is taken? 😙
they said this saturday got mobile showroom in the side, if you all collecting key, can drop by to see the quality la! I personally felt the quality is competitive with those signature kitchen and other medium high brand.
So wish you all happy shopping around ya! Update us if got any Good new and offer ya!!
