Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does a hot water cylinder last?
Most standard copper cylinders last between 15 and 20 years. However, factors like water quality and maintenance can affect this. If your tank is showing signs of rust or frequent leaks, it may be time for a replacement.
Why is my hot water cylinder making a noise?
Banging or rumbling sounds (often called “kettling”) are usually caused by a buildup of limescale or sediment inside the tank. This makes the unit less efficient and can eventually lead to damage.
Can you repair a leaking cylinder?
If a valve or connection is leaking, it can usually be repaired. However, if the tank itself has corroded and is leaking from the body, a full replacement is typically required.
Is it worth upgrading to a factory-insulated cylinder?
Yes. Modern cylinders come with thick, high-density foam insulation that keeps water hot for much longer than old “lagging jackets,” saving you money on your energy bills.
