Water usage/ Drainage
Unavoidably, 4 to 5 litres of cold water can lost before the onset of hot water. Environmentally conscious residents prefer to gather the cold water for alternative use (watering plants, washing down balconies etc).
Please be aware that drainage odours may occur from time to time. These odours may be caused by a lack of usage of the second toilet or bathroom or by a build-up of deposits in S traps or washing machine tubing. In the case of odours, simply charge the system by flushing with a half bucket of hot water and disinfectant. Baking soda is a great cleanser for smelly tubing. If a drain becomes clogged then the S trap may need to be serviced by a licensed plumber. Regular use of a non-toxic and environmentally safe product such as Actizyme (available in most supermarkets) will also eliminate odours and prevent blockages.
​
Air Conditioning / Heating
Apartment air conditioning units are not common property. They are the property of the apartment owner and need to be maintained regularly (at least every 12 months) to avoid possible expensive repairs.
​
Ventilation fans / Air Vents
The ventilation fans in the bathrooms and laundry are not connected to the light switch. They are located in a ventilation stack. Some apartments have noticed that air movement is either not consistent or is noisy. Please report any excessive noise, or absence of air flow to EC and Building Manager. To assist air circulation, the air vents located in bath rooms and the laundry should be cleaned regularly to remove any build-up of debris.
​
Smoke Detectors
Apartment smoke detectors contain a 9 volt battery. If you hear an intermittent chirping sound, this is an indication to change the battery. It is wise to change it every 12 months in any case.
