Introduction

Most homeowners have a hot water cylinder installed to take care of their hot water needs. As a whole, hot water cylinders will last for a long, long time. You will need to replace them if they leak or if you wish to upgrade to a bigger, better hot water cylinder capacity.

Replacing your hot water cylinder is fairly simple for a professional who has undergone training to do just that. However, if you’re looking to do it yourself, then beware because even though the task seems simple enough, it can become quite a nightmare fast.

Hot Water Cylinder Leaking

Is your hot water cylinder leaking? The first thing to do is to locate your water meter and then turn the gate valve clockwise to isolate the leak. If you’re looking for your water meter, it is usually placed at the front section of your property – in your footpath, your shared driveway, or your garden.

What to Do?

The next step is to locate your switch board or power and look for the switch called “water heater,” “hot water,” or “cylinder.” Then, the next step is to simply switch it to the OFF direction.  This will ensure that the hot water cylinder does not run empty and burn the element out while you’re waiting for the plumber.

The important thing is don’t jump to conclusions. Ask your plumber to check your hot water cylinder. If he tells you to buy a new hot water cylinder, get a second opinion. There are instances when the analysis might be wrong, which eventually costs you thousands when you could have had a simple fixing done. Be sure to get another plumber’s opinion and see how things go.

Repair vs. Replace

Your decision on whether to repair or replace a malfunctioning water heater should start with its age. A traditional tank-type water heater lasts for 8-12 years. An anode rod inside your hot water tank helps protect the water heater’s interior lining by attracting corrosive particles through electrolysis.

Over the years, the rod corrodes and is unable to perform its job. At that point, corrosion inside the tanks begins, which marks the end of your unit’s life. Signs of this include discolored or rust-colored water and a metallic odor or taste.

Tankless water heaters may last up to 20 years. However, they cost 2-3 times more than regular ones.  Tank leaks most often signal that a unit needs to be replaced, especially if it is more than 6-8 years old.
