Water Booster Pump for home

I was listening to BFM (Business FM) this morning interviewing the Managing Director (SEA) of  hansgrophe. It was a really interesting interview as I know I was quite fixated on good toilet fixture during our renovation. LOL.

At the end of the interview, the BFM team usually does a short wrap up and one of them mentioned that all these beautiful fixture would be useless unless you have a good water pressure. I concur.

Many Malaysian’s home do not have good water pressure especially on their 2nd floor onwards. It’s really frustrating to have a shower sometimes. There was once I turn off my water pump and forgotten to turn it back. It took me ages to rinse off. At the end, I think I spend more than double the amount of time but I still don’t feel refresh after the shower. le sigh… YES – I LOVE my rain shower ! And without the water booster, it’s more like a bad leaking tap. bleh.

So, before you ran out and spend a fortune buying all these beautiful fixtures, you must first think about the water pressure in your home. If it’s bad. FIX that first. The easiest way would be to install a water booster pump to pull water out from your water tank into your shower.

Hub and I spare no thought into getting a really good and solid one from Grundfos. We prefer the Uni-E type. Grundfos Uni-E Pump

There are several model and booster power. So, you really need to check with the sales person which is suitable for you.  Personally, I think for any normal size water tank, any of these 3 model below should be sufficient to do the job. Why do I say water tank and not the size of home? In my opinion, if you have one decent size water tank, it should be use to serve at most 3-4 frequent use bathrooms. IF you have more rooms, it would be better if you have a 2nd water tank anyway.

Even if you have 4 showers and 4 taps, the Uni-E 5-5 should be sufficient. You probably rarely have all the fittings (4 showers + 4 taps) all turn on anyway. So, there’s no need to go overboard getting an over-powered booster. It is going to cost you more for the electricity.

Have fun hunting for a good water booster !

Samsung PL151 Camera

Update – 1st Nov 2012 :

Dearest Groupon ppl,

If you are link here because of Groupon’s review, please note that I was not aware that they link my page to their review. Please understand that the review given below is my OWN personal opinion and I got it from a regular shop… Thanks !

My ol ye faithful Sony cybershot camera went crazy after 2 years but it was still useable. So, I didn’t bother to replace it. However, on my recent trip toMelbourne, it went missing and hub and I couldn’t figure out where we left it.

So, for the last few months, I have been snapping pictures with my mobile. It was really frustrating as pictures are not consistent and it is really hard to capture anything without flash at night.

I finally drag myself to a camera shop last Friday to try and replace myself with another camera. My requirements – it must be less than RM 1,000 and must be easy to use. The lady instantly showed me the Samsung PL151 camera. I was a little sceptical since Samsung is not a brand synonym to high quality camera. But with a price of RM 899 (comes with a 4G card, one spare battery and protective screen sticker for the LCD at the back) – how can I refuse this bargain, right? Not to mention, I was quite suckers in when she show me the front LCD.

Since I need to travel a lot (by myself), I am used to taking pictures of myself with the scenery. This gets a little tricky. It’s not easy to get the correct tilt, angle and wondering if you capture everything until after you click away. With this baby, I can adjust it until everything looks good before I click.

So, I bought it. Yay !!!   These pictures here are taken with my mobile. See how blur it is. sigh… I’m looking forward to getting nice pictures so that I could also post them on my blog. ;p
