lol that increases risk of damage, and when there is no direct water supply u can't take water from your tank. direct water pressure even at landed new neighbourhood can never be as strong as pump, even in brand new housing areas like mine

Did u mean install new connection & ignore the old pipes? Cos if replace old pipes it's huge construction

Thank for ur advice bro

Thanks for ur advice bro

If can afford get Grundfos, want good and value get Teral.
I had Grundfos, lasted less then 4 years, replaced with Teral.

Tumpang ask here.

I live in an old low density apartment in KL. Located on a small hill. Ground floor empty for car park, etc. People stay in Level 1 - 3.

For the last 2 years the direct water from meter less than pee, it's torturing just to fill up filtered water to boil.

So there's a few questions:

1. I know for apartments it'll first go through a main meter, then only to individual meters. So is it still illegal to put a pump from that individual meter to tank? Will have to check if we pay water ill direct to the management and they pay the water bill as a whole to syabas lol.

2. If it's still illegal, any suggestions to improve?

I've been considering to redo the pipe as I was told water is so slow because all other units already change to bigger pipes. Ours still using those old pipe which are smaller in diameter and possibly have blockage inside.

Teral also not cheap

Why? Now Teral got famous price went up?

Grundfos water pump. powerful af. It's pricier than other brands but it's reliability it's superb. Mine coming to 7 years ady without any maintenance needed.

Tsunami... 5 years and still rocks. Cheaper compared to grundfos.

Noise level is barely heard when installed on 2nd floor roof

This is more of a pump design issue and not really related to brand. So for your situation you want a pump that is easy to prime, basically choose a pump without an air release valve near the top (integral to some type of pumps). Then you install it in a positive suction condition so that gravity will keep it primed. Finally also opt for something with run dry protection for the complete package.

Can you check if your apartment comes with water tank? A typical configuration would be main meter -> individual meter -> individual water tank -> individual unit.

It is quite unusual if the configuration is as you said.

THIS ...

I have 2 pump, a Hitachi and a Grundfos ... Grundfos kaput first and Grundfos is about 2 time more expensive than Hitachi pump.

Yes, possible, the piping might leak ... how old is your unit ?

My house using Grundfos CM5-4PT. So awesome I tell you, water pressure 40psi maintained. I have a rain shower 16”x16” really like showering in the rain.

One thing before you install a pump, do check what type of water piping is installed in your house. If using the old grey PVC pipe which is connected with glue I would not recommend to install water pump. If your piping is using Hansen fittings then can install no problem as those piping connection is rated to hold over 100+ psi.

this 👍！

Still can complain so that Syabas or whatever can investigate. They know what the pressure suppose to be in your area.

Is OK.. I'll be installing a new water filter system soon which showing the water pressure on the gauge. Will monitor things from there see how many bars coming into my house.

Hitachi is known for its motor. The 1st company that manufacture electric motor in Japan since 1914. The power tool probably better than Bosch

Scala2 is inverter type that hold constant pressure

All this talk about water pump gets me curious, do you run it 24/7 or need to be turned off when not in used? and how it affects the tnb bill?
