    I will lubricate the o ring if there are rubber and also i use the glue on sealant instead of drilling the wall.
    For the holes of previous shower set, i will use those wall color sealant or cement tubes.

    Hi, if I turn off the main water supply from HDB riser. Will hot water still be gushing out when I dismantle the old mixer because of my storage heater tank?

      Yes . If your storage heater is full, hot water may still come out

    Decided to DIY replacing my rain shower after watching this video. Noticed something: when the mixer faucet was removed and I turned the main water supply back on, I noticed water only flowed out from the cold pipe. No water from the hot pipe (mine is a storage heater). Any idea why? When the faucet is installed the hot water apparently does flow from the hot pipe the mixed water is warm. Quite curious why no water flows from hot pipe when faucet is removed. Any idea? Very useful video BTW, good job.

    Hi, i am renovating a house and would like to know, does it possible to use such tap mixer like what you install to connect instant water heater with pump.

    • @ThePunggolHandyMan
      @ThePunggolHandyMan  Před 2 lety

      In short, no... but there are ways to reroute your water supply such that it goes through the instant heater. Have you considered a multi point instead?

  • @davidwong2836
    @davidwong2836 Před 9 měsíci

    many claimed that the water pressure is not strong enough for a rain shower head if you do not have a water storage or pump installed, is it true? from this video it seems that the owners also do not have a that as well.

    • @ThePunggolHandyMan
      @ThePunggolHandyMan  Před 9 měsíci

      These guys had a storage tank. And you are right. If you are using an instant heater, there will be a noticeable drop in pressure especially if you get a model without a boost pump

    is it possible to make a custom filter holder for a system like this? instead of changing the shower head with an in built filter

    • @ThePunggolHandyMan
      @ThePunggolHandyMan  Před rokem

      Custom filter holder? I'm not sure. If it fits a 3/4 inch fitting .. I guess some creative re-direction of water? But I'm not sure it will look nice after. Besides. Our water is drinkable from the tap. And a filter is highly unnecessary.

    Hi! I stay at punggol! At 1.44, regarding turning ooff the water supply, i tried to increase it by using a water tap key but it won't fit in. I tried using a spanner also it doesn't work. Do you happen to know a key that works to turn it on and off?

    • @ThePunggolHandyMan
      @ThePunggolHandyMan  Před 2 lety

      The tap key is for those public taps and uses a different connection. There is a different type that you have to buy to fit the pipe. Sometimes hdb would have given it to u in a plastic bag when u first moved in. U may check with your neighbourhood hardware store
