Now Serving Puchong: Water Tank Cleaning and Booster Pump Installation
12 May 2026 · Guan Huat Plumbing Team
Two of the most common calls we’ve been getting this year aren’t about leaks or clogs — they’re about discoloured tap water and weak shower pressure. Both have specific fixes, and we’re now formally offering them as full service lines.
Why These Two, Why Now
After years of doing leak detection, drainage, and sanitary repairs across Puchong, we noticed two patterns:
- Loft tanks in older Puchong landed homes are overdue. Most have never been cleaned. The result is sediment-heavy water — brown or yellow tinges, a slightly metallic taste, and a steady reduction in water quality.
- Multi-storey homes are running on undersized or absent booster pumps. Owners live with weak upstairs showers for years because they didn’t know it was a fixable problem.
Both fixes are well within our wheelhouse, and both have a direct quality-of-life impact. So we’re highlighting them as standalone services.
Water Tank Cleaning & Replacement
If the water from your tap looks anything other than clear, your water storage tank is the first suspect. Sediment accumulates at the bottom, rust forms in older metal tanks, and biofilm grows on the walls. Every refill stirs that into your home’s plumbing.
A proper clean takes half a day:
- Drain the tank fully.
- Remove sediment and rust.
- Scrub internal surfaces.
- Disinfect with measured chlorination.
- Flush and refill.
We also handle tank replacement when the unit itself is beyond cleaning — pinhole leaks in stainless steel, brittle poly tanks from UV exposure, or undersized capacity for a growing household. Most replacements use SIRIM-certified stainless steel or poly units, sized appropriately for the home.

Water Booster Pump Installation
If you’ve lived with weak upstairs flow for years and assumed it’s “just how the house is,” it usually isn’t. Low water pressure in Puchong homes is most often a gravity issue: the rise from your tank to the upstairs shower exceeds what gravity can usefully push.
A properly-sized domestic booster pump fixes this. Typical Puchong landed homes need 0.5 to 0.75 HP; larger or three-storey homes need 1 HP or more. Sizing depends on storeys, simultaneous outlets, and pipe diameter — not on what’s cheapest at the hardware shop.
A proper installation includes the pump itself, an automatic controller, a pressure vessel to reduce cycling, a non-return valve, and bypass piping so you have gravity supply if the pump is offline.
We work with reliable brands — Grundfos, Tsunami Pump, Wasser — and choose what fits the home rather than what we have on the shelf.

Booking These Services
Both services start with an on-site inspection. We’ll check the actual condition — for tank cleaning, we look at sediment levels and tank structural condition; for booster pumps, we measure current pressure and rise to size correctly.
You get a written estimate after the inspection, and we proceed only with your agreement.
