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.
Thank you for the video. Learnt alot! I am wondering for old hdb with single water inlet can I use the dual water faucet although no hot water? Its very much nicer products today are mostly dual for new BTO flat:(
I am thinking of buying new shower mixers for the BTO as well. do you know if the cold and hot water inlet distance is standard? What is this distance for BTO?
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?
Thanks for the detailed video once again. I always find the length of the extended arm of the rain shower set usually is quite short. Any way to extend it even further?
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.
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
Will rain shower set from Taobao fit for Singapore hdb bathroom or will it require additional adapters? As there are much more choice for rain shower from Taobao
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 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.
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?
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.
At 4:57, you mentioned to check "if the holes line up" and in this case it did. What to do if the holes don't line up? Thanks for your very helpful video btw! :) #nobeard
@@ThePunggolHandyMan I’m trying to figure out how to replace my shower head holder. To replace it, it seems like I wld need to detach the water pipe linked to the rainshower from the mixer. Not sure how to do it.
@@ThePunggolHandyMan oooh thank you! My water supply has the tap but it’s like super tight. I can’t seem to be able to turn it in either direction. Can I actually use the adjustable spanner to wrench it just to loosen it?
@@ThePunggolHandyMan aiyo I headache man. I think I need to show u the photo cause I don’t know which to turn 😅. There are two. One with the T thingy and one without.
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?
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

Thanks to your video, I just fixed my own bathroom shower mixer :)
It makes me so happy to know that my videos are actually helping people !
Thank you so much for the video. Simple straightforward to the point.
Nice video and thanks for sharing!!! Was thinking of upgrading my existing rain shower and this helps, so I’ll do my own diy project
I will lubricate the o ring if there are rubber and also i use the glue on sealant instead of drilling the wall.

Bro thank you for your video. Totally what I was looking for!!
Glad I could help!
will be great if you could do a video changing a bathroom basin faucet....thanks!
That video is in the pipeline! Stay tuned!
Thank you for the video. Learnt alot!

Nice video. May i check are the rain shower sets all universal?
@robottom6101 not really best you take a photo of the connection points and ask the seller
I am thinking of buying new shower mixers for the BTO as well. do you know if the cold and hot water inlet distance is standard?
What is this distance for BTO?
It's quite standard. And the outlet is adjustable
you could have covered the old installation holes with the new mount.....
Nope. Believe me I tried
Great video. How do you patch up the holes left behind from the old shower set ?
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
😊
Thanks for the detailed video once again. I always find the length of the extended arm of the rain shower set usually is quite short. Any way to extend it even further?
You can tilt the head to adjust the angle of the water further from the shower
We recently installer a shower set but the water flow is so bad unlike the previous one..any idea why??
Are you using a instant water heater
nope..we have to wait a while for water to heat up@@ThePunggolHandyMan
@@yeehuikoh3571Do you have a 1.8 gal/min at psi 80 flow restricter on?

Yes the fittings are quite universal
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
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.

Thanks! Wow umm reading from the comment is a bit hard to understand why don't you send me a video

Ah yes there are couplings on the wall that can be adjusted slightly .
Thanks for the vid! Do you have footage on how to attach the long rainshower pipe to the mixer?
Hi sorry I don't understand

@@jdt1476 a twist and screw out should work, however attachment differs from model to model
@@ThePunggolHandyMan thank you sir!
Hi! I’ve got a dumb question. Regarding Turning off the water supply, clockwise or counterclockwise?
Clockwise! As the tap screws In, it uses a plug to block the flow channel :)
@@ThePunggolHandyMan oooh thank you! My water supply has the tap but it’s like super tight. I can’t seem to be able to turn it in either direction. Can I actually use the adjustable spanner to wrench it just to loosen it?
@@cheeesebizkit you gotta be careful not to round over the tap stem. You can try with an adjustable spanner
@@ThePunggolHandyMan aiyo I headache man. I think I need to show u the photo cause I don’t know which to turn 😅. There are two. One with the T thingy and one without.
Hi, I’ve got a question. Do you know why shower mixer residual flow? when i turn off the shower mixers, sure will have some water dripping
It's normal. The high end ones have flow stoppers but the cheaper ones have to drain away the residual water
@@ThePunggolHandyMan I see...that mean we can't do anything for it?
@@huibeeong4267 nope nothing can be done
