Don’t take the risk of your hot water system failing at the worst possible time

You might have noticed a change in temperature lately; it’s getting colder in the evenings which is a subtle reminder that winter is on the way. While we use hot water throughout the whole year, we rely on it even more during the colder months and now that we are spending more of our time at home.

Imagine not being able to take a hot shower or wash your laundry – what a nightmare! This could become a reality if your hot water system isn’t working properly.

Common hot water system issues

The older a hot water system is, the higher are the chances of it breaking down. With time, residue can form and build up in the water tank which can deteriorate the internal lining; this can lead to a leaking tank.

The sacrificial anode is designed to reduce corrosion in the tank but it can wear out after two to five years from installation depending upon water quality. Sediment or sludge builds up in the tank as the anode does its job. Discoloured water is a sign of corrosion in your hot water cylinder coming out of your hot taps.

Another thing to look out for are damaged drain valves. Valves are typically warranted for one to three years, depending on the brand of the valve. If your drain valve fails, the water that’s stored in your hot water tank can possibly leak and increase your heating cost or cause substantial water damage to your home.
