Good day everyone.

I was unable to register warranty online for Viessmann products.
And I went to find out.

Viessmann Singapore abruptly exit their distribution in Singapore without informing their partners (retail shops).
My suppliers are stuck with inventories that they don't know what to do.

Website is redirected to parent company.
Contact in Singapore terminated.

Products with valid warranty might not be able to receive help.

New products are unable to register warranty online.

Was here to clear a blockage with signs pointing that it might have something dropped inside.

This is the my first time encounter this, limescale build up causing blockage.

The resident previously used soft toilet paper and have this blockage of the WC after switching to a tougher toilet paper which not easily disintegrate.

While clearing the pipe concentrated smell of chemical vent out from the pipe. Someone in the block is either over doing cleaning or have a mini lab of some sort discharging chemicals into the sewage pipe.

Hello everyone.
Here to replace a wall hung bowl and do a Grohe cistern conversion.

Was here for faulty old discontinued Grohe cistern and the owner also wanted to replace their stained and scratched bowl.

Suggested them to get the Grohe cistern and bowl bundle (can use climate voucher)

I never encounter this Grohe model before and initially the shop didn't want to sell it to the owner because they were unsure it's compatibility.

But I checked with Grohe and with some searching of my own I was confident that it will work.

Hello everyone.
Sharing something on soft close wc seat cover.

There was a time where soft close seat cover was a novelty and quite expensive.

It relies on hydraulic to slow down the closing like the hydraulic arm above some door that automatically shuts

Nowadays all softclose relies on friction and they're not very lasting due to users pressing them down.

The introduction of cheap friction ones displaced the expensive hydraulic ones. So which is more lasting? The hydraulic ones. Because of hygiene and discoloration of the plastic most people will choose to replace them. In this case the rise of consumerism = death of quality.

Hydraulic ones are indistinguishable from the friction one. Only from the speed it shuts and when it spoils, leaking of hydraulic fluid.

Hello everyone.
It is increasingly difficult to find new and relevant stuffs to share.

Experts believe skilled trades like plumber, electrician and aircon technician will never be replaced by AI. Those experts are full of BS, with the rise of AI and AI Agent these trades will not be replaced but passed over.

For those that doesn't know what AI Agent is, it is like Jarvis in Ironman. If no idea what is Ironman, then it is like "mother" in the Alien franchise. If clueless to both, it is your like your digital personal assistant. The more access you give to the AI Agent the more powerful it gets. For example, telling Jarvis to get your favourite drink, Javrvis will automatically order, check it out, does the payment and arrange for deliver without you touching the phone.

Without active social media presence in all popular platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and Tiktok, AI Agent won't know we exist and will not list us as a recommendation. With improvement AI Agent would be able to filter out sponsored advertisement and bots, so throwing money into marketing is unlikely to increase reach.

What's worse than being replaced? Being passed over.
Knowing a profession is being replaced one could choose not to enter the line or reskill to do something else. Whereas according to the experts that skilled trade won't be replaced by AI and wonders why business is not doing well. By the time of realisation it is too late, as competitions already have many years of content as head start; more information for AI Agent to utilise.

I'm really grateful and thankful to those helping me over the years by word of mouth and in forums like Hardware Zone, SG Moms Group (I don't remember the exact name) and SG Expat group etc. These forums would make AI Agent search possible. These people unknowingly anticipated AI Agent by 10 years. Hope this would be a head start for me.

Sharing a new product that will be available soon from a promotional price of $14.25 and ready to accept orders from our online shop on 1st of April. Sorry I was unable to launch it sooner than February otherwise it would be a nice place to bring your date for Valentine's day. Candle light shower with free flow of alcohol.

It is the world first Ultra Smart Hand Spray and it is available in both Wifi for smart homes and Bluetooth for public toilets or where Wifi is unavailable.

It doesn't need electrical and water as it utilises Quantum G connection which is 1 billion times faster than 6G. Water and electricity flux particles flows through the air into the spray.

My personal favorite is it's premium function, with a monthly subscription of $100 to supercharge your Quantum G, you could enjoy free flow from our selection of wines, beer and liquors. Our beverage partners are also concocting new non alcoholic drinks. Now everyone could spend more time in the toilet while using their phone gets to enjoy their drinks. For now I stick to bandung.

We thank you for reading up to here and I truly regret that there will not be any stupid promo code. Because it is an Ultra Smart handpray hence it deserve 3 promo codes.

Promo code "I am smart" for your first purchase to enjoy 50% off on your second purchase.

On your second purchase promo on top of promo you get to enjoy free installation on all purchases with promo code "I am Smartest"

On your third purchase you get to enjoy free premium subscription for 30 days. Keep the beer flowing!

That's not all, if you refer someone after three purchases you get a four hand spray for free + free installation.

And why would you need a third or a forth handspray?
Because it is Ultra Smart, keep one in your pocket or bring it everywhere with you and you get to enjoy free flow of alcohol and drinks.

And I will not claim it to be while stock last which is stupid marketing. Stock last until everyone owns a few Ultra Smart Hand spray.

Hello again, second post in a day 😁.

Was here to install a water heater for a friend of almost 30 years. I don't do heater work anymore as I find it "unprofitable" to do it myself, I sub them out to my LP which they have the manpower from small to very high capacity ones. Sometime relatives and friends will get me to install for them and I will over-do it.

I will add in pressure regulator, 4cm2 earth bonding rather than 2.5cm2 minimum and I will crimp all the wires, more work and more cost, thus more time = "unprofitable"😅.

This new heater was faulty as no electrical power flowing into the element. So I had to arrange for the technician to come over to troubleshoot it.

The first thing he saw is the pressure regulator which surprises him and I ask is there something wrong? "No it is that nobody install that"

Well, your installation manual recommends it. I already decided to install one before even reading the manual.

"The pressure regulator protects the tank from excessive or fluctuating pressure so the heater doesn't leak so soon, is that made in Italy?"

Yes, and it cost about $40 and nobody will pay for it and it also doesn't look "streamline neat work".

"It looks neat to me 😁"

Still doesn't justify the extra cost and labour, consumer won't pay more and the pressure regulator is not maintenance free and it will get clog up by scale and sand thus reducing the flow.

"The pressure is within recommendation" (the technician took out a pressure gauge to take a reading which says 4 bar)

In Singapore it is not mandatory to have one as the water pressure is closely control/regulate by PUB for water conservation reason.
