Any recommendation for solar water storage tank installation?

[arsenal]

From the internet, Grundfos is the top brand.. I will check if the pump has been turned on or not..

Its actually located on the 2nd floor opposite the master bedroom.
The brand used by HH should all be similar and from this brand:
http://www.grundfos.com.my/

Any contractor would be able to do it for you. It will kick in only when water is turned on.
Some used units so powerful that they can even repeatedly flush their toilets in very very
short succession. (Not that anyone really need that unless having a bad case of the runs)

Cheap and poorly installed = Sure noisy. Need someone good and the better models else it
does get noisy when used at night.

Hi Wuqi, thanks for your reply. Now i udnerstand better what I am getting into and also the finance I will be required to come up with.

One last qn, and this is a sensitive one. Currently, Im serving my 5 years MOP with HDB after buying a flat, now into my 3rd year already. As such I am unable to buy a proeprty overseas. In this case, can I put the owner's name as my mother's and my name for the bank loan, meaning i have no name at all within the house. is this possible and is this flouting HDB rules still?

You will still need to have a name in the house as otherwise you cannot get a loan. I will PM you a legal way to get around this. Do not flout HDB rules.

One of the best but need to confirm that the pump has lights on. Actually you can tell if it only trickles.

Does the terrace in HH provide this main pump too? So u use shower with pumps together with this pump?

Mainly for semi-ds and above then they provide. So if not, you can either get a pump on your roof tank or have individual water heater units equipped with a pump on the heater unit itself. Both ways will work but don't do both together, overkill and likely heater unit will kaput(ok if normal type without pump).

Confirm I'm not agent. I did ask some forum guys PM them to advise and view of the two properties Mutaria and Pulai indah. I think I do not have any luck to buy properties in JB. Anyway, I ''ll go to sale office to withdraw and get back deposit in the coming week. Interested parties pls check with the sale office directly. Please don't PM me. Thank you.

Yes, unless you really need water pressure strong enough to wash algae off walls that kind of thing.
Just the water pump on the roof top tank will be good enough.

By the way, saw a question on solar panels for water heaters, if its mainly to save electricity, its not
a lot difference but if its because one is inclined to go green, then its good to go down that route.

There was one brand monier which folks here say is bad so maybe good to avoid.

Hi Stevewish,

Don't give up, you can always look at other areas. Your earlier posting, before it was edited i saw it as well.
Can't blame anyone for thinking you are an agent to be fair. You can post at the agents thread as no issues
with that if you have anyone to recommend.

Just read the news that DAP supremo would lead a team of PKR top guns to contest in Johor during the coming National and state elections. So Johor would be key battle field.

Little mini Orlando in JB? Bring it on

Johor to echo Orlando's success by becoming SEA's fun hub

By HomeGuru Malaysia

Johor is poised to become the amusement park capital of the country as well as in the South East Asia region, with its cluster of at least 11 leisure destinations.

According to The Business Times, many industry observers said with Malaysia's new attractions, coupled with Singapore's world-class tourist destinations, the southern region of Asia could compete with Orlando in Florida where Disneyland offers the central attraction.

State-owned investment company Khazanah Nasional Bhd has taken part in most of Johor's proposed attractions, with at least five projects developed by Khazanah's leisure and tourism subsidiary - Themed Attractions and Resorts (TAR) Malaysia.

Malaysia is not competing with Singapore in terms of the tourist attractions but instead, the countries complement and supplement each other, explained Tunku Ahmad Burhanuddin, CEO of TAR.

"We want to make it the attraction capital and the number one family destination in the Asean region," he said.

Steve Peet, TAR's Chief Operating Office, said "the entire area can become a tourist destination in its own right, just like Orlando."

Ahmad explained that Malaysia has many visitors but the nation used to have insufficient attractions. Thus, TAR was established in 2009 "to be a catalyst for investments in the tourism sector and to design, build and operate attractions."

Moreover, approximately RM2.3 billion fund has already been allocated until 2015 to develop parks and attractions. However, Ahmad said "it is not enough just to have Hello Kitty Town and Little Big Club to promote Malaysia. So, we decided to incorporate Lat, our famous cartoonist," Ahmad said.

‘Lat' is inspired by the kampung scene in the Last comics. The project will comprise an indoor area, which measures 6,000 sq ft, as well as restaurants and theatres, among others.

Hi Cathy, i must acknowledge that I do not know for sure. I think it is unlikely for the opposition to win the state but it could give the ruling coalition a run for their money. The BN would be forced to give more goodies to the people(not necessarily for foreigners though). If BN wins, then status quo or little bit worse for some foreign investors(not the FDI type) such as foreign property investors may be in the form of higher bar but I think it would not be too drastic as Malaysian economy needs a substantial support from foreign dollars. In the not so likely event of opposition win, then a lot would depend on the sultan if HM would cooperate as HM could hinder the proper functioning of thè state govt if HM so intended. DAP runs Penang well so it has capability to run Johor as well. PKR should be ok too but PAS is less appealing for running economy. All in all, for foreigners already with sunk in investment, there ought not be too much risks from the election but of course as people always say everything is still possible.
