I have many neighbours who have ADT in their house.. During thunderstorms or false alarms, it doesn't bring anybody to their house to inspect what's going on. Does that mean they have stopped paying the subscription?

Well it depends mate...some may have addressed the fact that it may be a false alarm with ADT when they receive their calls. Point to take here is that ADT only calls in the authorities when there is no answer from your side to confirm on the trigger or if there is an Duress/Emergency signal.

Hey Guys,
Any of you all doing water feature for a limited/small space. I have a littl espace in front (Back -bcoz double frontage). If any of you guys have any contacts will surely appreciate the contact details
Crow

Just found out the list of supplier/sub-contractor of FK.. some very familiar names ie. Inovar (laminated flooring), monier (roof tiles) ... not bad at all!

FK? You meant FL right

Suppliers seems to be reputable ones...you sure its not GAF or TAMKO?

arhhk! typo!
The supplier list is in your beautiful 2GB thumbdrive ...

2GB still got ah?

Thought extinct already

Hi Crow,
I am contemplating of purchasing the ready made fibreglass water feature for my house.
I am looking at the small 3x6 feet. The company that showcase their product at Perfect Living quote me around 5k including 10 feet of landscaping and various accessories.
I am planning to put the water feature opposite the dining area of my house.
However it is not a very high priority at the moment as my budget for interior also may not be sufficient

Hey Momiloco,
Can you PM details of the company. I also it is not a priority but put in budget and if run short then take it out lah

Sorry Crow,
do not have the contact no with me now as I was only looking for rough estimate for the cost.
somemore the company is at Sg Buloh area, i.e on the road from Denai Alam to Kota Damansara, around RRI area.
I think if you have the time you should drop by there to see what they have in store. The competition there quite fierce and I'm sure they can give you a lot of freebies.

Cool thanks momiloco will take a drive on teh weekend )

i'm using wireless system but not ADT but home from amway. no complaint thus far, does it job.


they did my house but all their work are subbed. overall OK lah but the grille material/workmanship and to mention the contractor were useless in my case. this was 2 years ago so they may have switched their subs.


make friends with your neighbour, quick and fast. the homeowners on my road has engaged a patrolling security for this due to increasing threat. my phase has only about 80+ homes so density is quite low and unless owners can pool resources, individual actions count for less.


i used to have this issue but solved this by using larger diameter pvc pipe. no need for pump.


good luck on defects. due to shoddy workmanship, the defects are now just showing up on my house right after the 18 months warranty period run up.

i used to think with sime at least you get quality but apparently nowadays even with money you can't buy quality.

Hi, what do u mean by large diameter PVC pipe?
Where to use it? Thanxxx

Bro ihsan, may i know wat kinda defects that you are facing came 18 months after? Hope you don't mind to share it.

from the tank to the outlet in the bathroom. caveat is that you need to empty your tank before any work can be done.

if you paid half a million for this you would at least expect the material to be robust and the design to be vetted through.

i don't really know how's the new phases build quality so i can only stick with mine which is in one of the earlier phases.

Thansk for your feedback Ilham informative

Folks,

I took my key yesterday evening and had a looooong chat with the main-con who is stationed there.

This is what I found out:

1. The rainwater havesting system is actually crappy and totally a waste of time.

It supplies rainwater to the maidroom WC, Ground floor Guest room WC, Garbage box tap and outdoor garden tap. However, the eco efficiency is very minimal. Its only about RM10/15 ringgit savings but this excludes the power to run the pump so actually, its no big difference in cost savings.

HOWEVER, the good news is that he has recommended that you:

1. Ditch the whole system and use the expensive and powerful 1HP Australian Brand Pump (it cost 4K!) supplied for your upstairs main tank instead.

Voila! No need to buy Grunfos or Ebara pump!

2. Relocate the water filter to the front water main and voila! No need to buy an extra water filter for the whole house!

With slight modification on your pipes, all the the WC which is dependent on the RWHS can be re- routed.

So I have just saved you at least 5.5k

Hi Riz... As above, does the RWHS require pump to operate?
I thought no need pump.
Where is the pump located?
