Boiling Hot Water?

Is your existing hot water system boiling over and hot water everywhere? This indicates that there could be a problem with the element, thermostat or one of the valves. The hot water element is used to heat the hot water in your cylinder to a pre-set temperature as determined by the manufacturer or a minimum of 60 Degrees Celsius for residential homes in Australia.

If your element is causing your hot water system to boil, this is a problem due to the high cost of wasted electricity and also possibly causing unnecessary stress on the hot water cylinder and valves. You will need a qualified hot water technician to help you with a faulty element.

Another problem and probably the most likely is that your existing electric element thermostat is causing your system to boil. This can happen when the thermostat gets really old and tired and can no longer send the correctly signal to the element to turn on and off. One of the major causes of boiling hot water systems is when the thermostat is not working properly. Thermostats are normally easy to install on existing electric storage systems by our qualified hot water plumbers and electricians.

Boiling Hot Water systems can also be dangerous for those who are using hot water. Consider installing or replacing a Tempering Valve which will regulate the water temperature delivery into the home to 50 degrees. New tempering valves will prevent instant scalding of the skin from boiling hot water.
