Banned 1 Report post Posted September 3, 2010 sorry left all the papers in the car, but they only have one kind of undersink filter. er.. actually two types, but according to helen, one of them have been out of stocks for a long time. Anyway they are the same, except one have a longer filter and the other shorter ie lifespan difference. u thinking of installing yrself ah? bc they offer us price inclusive of installation, so should be no trouble ? Nah.. im not going to install myself.. but do they need to drill anything so that they can install undersink? that's what im more worried about.. that why thinking die die do now or can put on hold first.. why cant i be as rich as u?

Me no rich .. but since house will live for many yrs to come, must think of all the practical issues - most of the things we do are needs, only very few are wants lei. If not later want to add this and add that, will incur more $$! for the filter system, no drilling needed undersink. just ask yr sink supplier to punch an extra hole on the sink (ie if u want to put faucet on sink) if u want to, otherwise according to hyflux, their plumber can also "open hole" either on worktop or sink on the spot (this is the only drilling needed). The plumber just need to fit a t-joint on cold water pipe, then connect one end to the filter system pipe. If u visit them at harbourfront, u will know what i mean. anyway, this system can install anytime, even long long after reno, so no major messy work involved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggy 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2010 Fri, 3 Sep 2010 Aircon installation partially done yesterday .. this compressor weighs 66kg! And see how big it is - anything bigger cannot exit our ledge window. As if HDB has some kind of special arrangements with Mit??? they even clean up after themselves alas, for one room, trunking needs to be corrected. Hence also got to redo box up before blower can be installed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggy 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Sat, 4 Sept 2010 Change No 1 In the beginning, we had planned to do a vanity cabinet complete with full height mirror in both toilets, but since budget had been busted by several other more essential work, we now have no choice but to use what's given, and buy the rest off the shelf. Made another visit to GR Link this evening to recee the toilet mirror, and immediately found what we liked - a mirror that comes complete with 3 glass panels - one at the bottom for mug, toothpaste etc, and another two small ones, which I will most likely place a little plant or something to add life to the place. Very happy with the choice, but alas, stocks for the second mirror will only arrive a month later, so no choice, got to take the display piece yet again! Benny and us really have a good laugh - how come always end up taking their display?? Here's how the two mirrors look. Please pardon the mess - all the other things on the opposite wall are reflected, I don't really know which angle is best to capture the shot mirror 1 - black and clear mirror mirror 2 - clear mirror with black design on side Change No 2 To prevent ugly holes on the tiles in future, we had initially intended to use the 3M stick-on toilet accessories, but of the few items they had in the range, we really only like the towel bar. And they do not have a toilet roll holder in the toilet series So should we settle for part plastic, and part stainless steel accessories? Pondered over this for a while, but finally decided against doing this. So out goes 3M, also means we have to start receeing for stainless steel ones. Ideally the Song Cho's range will be best, but we don't think we can afford to pay so much for these fixtures ... tried to find something in GR Link, but they do not have the dimension we wanted. After leaving GR, I recalled hearing lots of good review on the shop next door (Poh Seng) too, so decided to pop in for a look. Sure enough, we got all our toilet accessories from them. This is the fastest recee-purchase we ever made - all within a day! Edited September 4, 2010 by froggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggy 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) froggy.. saw the one that u install liao.. Cost:$629! any cheaper alternative? hee u looking for a microfilter? or just wanted sentiment filter and remove chlorine taste type? There is another company we went to who has a korean product. I can't remember if she mentioned a brand, but anyway, it only removes big particles and smell/taste. I tried the filtered water, taste pretty good too. But we did not go for that one because we find the system a bit troublesome to change, ie sink area will get wet and messy. But that one is really economical - think she said only 20 or 30 (or something that sounds too good to be real, but it's real!) for the initial set up for the filter and tubing, but u must get yr own faucet. If you are keen, I will go dig up the info Edited September 4, 2010 by froggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
