DIY Series 16 @ MCO: Stainless Steel Rods Cleaning

Cleaning Stainless Steel Rods Using Bathroom Detergent Cleaner

I choose this detergent cleaner to make my tempered glass coffee table's stainless steel stand / rods shining again after polishing it.
Note: This product is slightly corrosive to the surface of some materials. 

1. Get a piece of dry cloth ready
2. Spray the detergent directly on the stain
3. Leave for few minutes to dissolve the stain
4. Rinse directly with water
5. Wipe with dry cloth
6. After use, it is now clean and shining

The "re-born" coffee table is now the "shining star" in my living room.

DIY Series 15 @ MCO: Get Additional Bidet Hose

Turn Your Toilet Water Tap into a Bidet Hose Tap

1) Get ready a set of bidet hose and prepare the necessary tools.

2) Dismantle the existing water tap.

3) You will see a hole on the wall, clean the hole if there is any debris inside.

4) Install the newly purchased bidet hose set and test the water flow.

5) If the bidet hose is too long, you can add a holder at the toilet tank. Else, just hang it at the designated place at the new water tap.

6) There are 2 types of bidet hose tap. I personally tested both and recommend the one on the right. This is because one would have a better control of the valve with a thumb. The hose holder on the left picture functions as a valve and one might accidentally twist and turn it on before getting ready with the aim.

DIY Series 14 @ MCO: Water Filter for Kitchen

DIY A Kitchen Water Filter

(a) Kitchen Top Filter (Hydrologics TF300)

(b) Under Sink Pre-Filter (SPUWASU X822)

1) Get ready the necessary parts & PVC fittings

1.1 Male-to-Male Adaptor

1.2 PVC Elbow

1.3 Copper Base

1.4 Pipe (Choose the one on the right, thicker. I choose "PALING" brand)

1.5 Copper Extender

1.6 Mini Valve (Male to Female)

1.7 T-shape Valve (Optional)

1.8 Others PVC Fittings, Flexible Hose & PE Flexible RO Tube (depends on your needs)

2. Extend piping from the wall to the target location. Use Items 1.1 & 1.2 to connect from the wall, then extend the pipe using Items 1.3 & 1.4.

3. Dismantle the existing kitchen sink (if you want to make new kitchen top & kitchen cabinet)

4. Wait for your kitchen top / cabinet to be ready. There will be 2 holes reserved for you to continue working on plumbing.

5. Continue your plumbing work using Items 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 until connection to Pre-Filter

6. From the Pre-Filter, connect the outlet to the kitchen tap using flexible hose and the necessary PVC fittings. Connect the sewage pipe to the other reserved hole.

7. By now, your kitchen tap is ready.

8. Next, install the kitchen top water filter. No need any tools or additional parts, just use the accessories provided.

9. Test your kitchen top water filter mode (Tap, Save, Filter)

10. Basically the DIY is done. If you notice, I reserved an outlet using Item 1.7. The left side outlet (Marked "1") is connected to Pre-Filter, but the right side outlet (Marked "2") was ended with end cap.

In case if you want to bypass the pre-filter, just turn-off the valve on the left outlet (Marked "1") and connect the flexible hose (from kitchen tap) directly to the right (Marked "2"). This is to reserve for an alternative water supply route.

11. The outlet valve at the bottom of Pre-Filter is for backwash. Use it when you want to do backwashing. You will need to connect a PE flexible RO tube and channel the water to a drainage hole or directly to the kitchen sink during backwashing.
