Date Of Replacement: 17 Apr 2025
Project Location: Scotts Road
Before Replacement:
The existing Rheem EHG-30 storage water heater was leaking internally, indicating a tank failure. The pipe fittings showed signs of corrosion, and the installation, which was concealed above the ceiling, lacked accessible drain piping and modern stainless steel upgrades.

The leaking unit was removed and replaced with a new Rheem EHG-30. Stainless steel pipes for hot, cold, and drain lines (within 1 metre) were installed. The installation was carried out above the ceiling by two experienced technicians and inspected for full PUB compliance.
