Tips to Get the Most From Your Hot Water System
Practical advice from our licenced plumbers to help you avoid common issues and protect your home.
Set your hot water temperature to 60 degrees Celsius at the unit and 50 degrees at the tap (via the tempering valve). This kills bacteria while preventing scalding.
If you have a storage tank system, have the anode rod inspected every 5 years. This sacrificial rod prevents the tank from corroding internally and is cheap to replace.
Insulate exposed hot water pipes, especially in unheated areas like garages and under the house. This reduces heat loss and lowers your energy bills.
If your system is over 10 years old, start researching replacements before it fails completely. An emergency replacement limits your options and often costs more.
Check for government rebates before buying a new system. NSW currently offers rebates for heat pump installations that can save you hundreds of dollars.
