SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING

2Winters are here, and you would not want your hot
water system to break down just when you need it
the most. Not having hot water in the shower or
the sink can be a huge inconvenience and can have
a significant impact on the level of comfort and
convenience in a household. Having no hot water
can make a big difference in your daily life.
Regular maintenance and checking on your hot
water system Adelaide twice a year can help
drastically minimise the chances of catastrophic
failures and emergency hot water Adelaide
plumber calls. If your hot water system has
stopped working, you may want to check the most
common reasons listed down in this post to
identify the issue. For the best guidance to deal
with these matters in the right way we recommend
contacting your trusted hot water plumber to find
the underlying cause of the issue
3The 6 Most Common Hot Water System Problems
1 Faulty Temperature Valve A tempering valve or
temperature valve is a safety valve that is set
to a temperature to blend hot water with cold
water. It prevents scalding burns by perfectly
mixing water to give you comfortable hot water
which is 50 degrees. With use and over time the
tempering valve can become faulty and not mix hot
water with cold water properly. A tempering valve
should be checked to see if its working
perfectly. We recommend relying on a licensed
plumber to replace the valve.
42 Water Leaks Water leaks are the most common
type of hot water system issue most homeowners
face. Most hot water systems start to leak
eventually as the water action will slowly
corrode your tank and create cracks that will
start to leak. If the leak is coming from the top
of your tank, this could be a sign that your
water connections are loose and if the leak is at
the bottom of the tank it could be because of
condensation. Water leaks should always be
rectified on priority and its highly advisable
to contact your hot water plumber as soon as
possible to rule out any major faults.
53 No Hot Water If there is no hot water at all
it could be because of failed heating elements,
faulty electric connection for electric hot water
systems, no pilot light or faulty gas connection
for gas hot water systems.
64 Bad or Strange Smelling Hot Water A build-up
of bacteria in the tank causes strange smelling
hot water from your taps. Hot temperature
settings can kill any bacteria in your hot water
tank but be extra cautious of doing this as
extremely hot water can cause serious burn
injuries. If you are not confident carrying out
any of these tasks then consult a hot water
plumber for any assistance and repair work with
your hot water system. Also, if the unpleasant
smell problem persists then you may need to have
your tank cleaned by a professional plumber.
75 Tank Takes Too Long to Reheat If it feels
like your hot water system takes too long to
reheat, then your thermostat could be set too
low, or you could also have a problem with your
gas connection, such as poor gas pressure.
However, in many cases, a hot water system taking
too long to reheat is simply a problem with low
capacity for your hot water needs. If your tank
doesnt get enough time to heat the water then
you will end up with lukewarm water. Chat with a
local plumber to discuss your hot water situation.
86 Your Hot Water System is Old Like any other
household appliance, hot water systems also have
a lifespan and after 10-12 years you can expect
to see a noticeable decrease in performance
before it breaks down completely. Deciding on the
