Hi, Have anyone tried to uninstall your City Gas Heater before ? I am trying to uninstall it and all the related pipes as my Gas Heater give me water either too hot or too cold. Anyone done it before ? Will City Gas remove the heater and all the related pipes for me so that I can install a Electric Storage Tank heater for my common bath and kitchen ? Thanks

Hi, 1. I am using this Ariston (Plus 15 or 1.5 sin) storage type water heater left over by the previous HDB owner in my master bath at the moment. I found that this water heater has a hot water outlet and a cold water inlet (with a safety valve connected to the cold water inlet). I used to have a Rheem water heater and it has a safety valve seperated from the inlet. I also googled and found most other Ariston water heaters come with seperate safety valves. So I am a bit doubtful that this safety valve works well. Any advice ? 2. I am also using this old gas water heater ( Rinnai REU-8CG.) left over by the previous owner. The problem with this gas water heater is it tends to get too hot or too cold when I turn the mixer lever left or right. Meaning the water heater (or the mixer ?) is a bit too sensitive. So to solve this problem I am trying to find a shower mixer that has seperate temperature adjustment and water flow adjustment controls. I googled and found one called : "Rozin® Wall Mount Brass Thermostatic Mixing Valve for Bathroom Shower Head" I used this type before in my previous home but didn't find it satisfactory because the temperature adjustment control stopped working in just a few months. Any recommendation on how to resolve this issue ? This gas type heater is a bit scary because whenever you turn it on you hear a loud noise coming from it. Then suddenly the naked flame you see through the glass window goes off automatically. Lastly I have to run between the kitchen and common bath to adjust the hotness of the water. So troublesome ! Thanks
