If you can't find the original brand sticker on the cylinder then the easiest way is to measure the height (H) and diameter (D) . Then apply the following calculation (D x D) x H x 0.7854 x 1000 = liters. The complete calculation must be done in m (500mm = 0.5m). Please note that you are measuring the outside casing and not the actual internal tank holding the water. The cylinders on our site can be a guide to determine your cylinder size if they have the approximate dimensions.

Turn on the hot tap and compare it to the cold tap. If the water is the same pressure, you have either a mains pressure or equal low pressure cylinder. If there is a pressure difference you will have an unequal low pressure system. If you’re not sure what pressure you have you can also look at your hot water cylinder, usually if you can find the make and model you should be able to identify a “BAR” “HEAD” or “KPA” rating. If you have a long vent sticking up above your roof then are you most likely to have a low pressure hot water cylinder.

Out of 100 installations we manage to convert 80 to mains pressure in under 5 hours

It is normal for this pipe to drip periodically as this is just the cylinder expanding as it heats up. If you notice that it never stops one or both valves will need replacing. It will save you money quickly if you get it seen to. Not only are you wasting water but electricity as well.

This is perfectly normal for it to drip periodically. When the cylinder has reached its desired temperature it needs to allow for expansion and the cold feed expansion valve allows for this. It can drip 4 - 7 liters a day.

This will completely depend on what tapware you have, 90% of the time you DO NOT have to replace your tapware. Our mains pressure systems will include a valve that will ensure your tape ware remains safe.

No, the law requires every household to have a tempering valve installed to protect against scolding and to protect your tapware / plumbing

There could be a fault with your tempering valve or your element starting to go. Your thermostat could also be getting a wrong reading and should be checked

Your local water supplier supplies mains pressure at your water meter (Can be 350KPA – 500KPA) depending on your existing house plumbing this pressure will be reduced to suit your requirements. Older homes with long vents sticking through the roof make it easy to identify low pressure systems running at a maximum of 7.5 meters of head = ca. 75KPA - 125 KPA (Medium pressure), whereas new homes (excluding batches or where main water supply is not available) will be supplied by mains pressure. In any case it is strongly recommended to install a limiting valve to prevent leaks resulting from excess pressure caused by tides or your water provider.

Ripple control is when your provider is able to switch off the power to your hot water cylinder remotely at energy peak when required. You can opt out of this in most cases.

The technician installing your Hot water cylinder MUST be a registered plumber, please ask to see the PGDB card for proof.

One or both of your low pressure valves is faulty and needs replacing

Several reasons could be the cause: Element is damaged, thermostat is damaged; you're on ripple control, if gas, your pilot flame has gone out. For an accurate diagnosis please ring our technical team on 0800 429 546
