Achieving optimal performance from your hot water system can sometimes be challenging. Typically, everything operates smoothly, delivering hot water at the perfect temperature as soon as you turn on the tap. However, occasional issues may arise, such as water that is excessively hot, barely warm, or a heater that takes longer than usual to warm up. You might also encounter problems with hot water running out faster than expected.
Dealing with inconsistent hot water can be incredibly frustrating. After a long day, stepping into the shower only to find lukewarm water can test even the most patient person’s tolerance.
While these issues can be annoying, they need not become a routine. Most problems can be easily resolved by a plumber with minimal hassle.
Water too hot?
Storage hot water heaters are required to maintain water in the tank above 60°C to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, which can pose serious health risks. However, delivering water at this temperature to taps can increase the likelihood of scalds and burns, particularly for small children, the elderly, and others who may be less aware.
