Manly Plumber Duties

Hot Water System Choices Plumber Manly
  • Natural gas – can be used in storage water heaters and continuous flow hot water heaters.  Natural gas systems are rated according to their energy efficiency & come in both internal and external models.  Gas storage heaters have a smaller capacity than off-peak electric heaters as they are able to heat the water up at any time of the day or night as opposed to within a certain time period.
  • Off peak electricity – has similar using costs to a natural gas system but is only available where the hot water system has a storage capacity 160 liters or more.  The hot water is heated overnight for use during the day.  It cannot be used by continuous flow systems and is available for both internal and external use.
  • Solar energy – can provide up to eighty percent of your hot water free of charge, making it a very environmentally friendly option.  They are the cheapest systems to operate but do have a high initial purchase price.  All solar hot water systems come with a “booster” source of power  to provide hot water during times when there is little sun.
  • Peak electricity – is used for electric flow units and storage water heaters that are smaller than 160 liters in capacity.  They can be very expensive to run but are very popular in areas where space is limited such as in building units and apartments. 
  • LPG – is used in areas where natural gas isn'y available.  It is suitable for both continuous flow and storage hot water systems.
  • Solid fuels – this includes wood, coal and briquettes, so the cost of the fuels can vary widely.  Solid fuels can be used on their own or with off peak electricity or solar in constant pressure systems.  They cannot be used with mains pressure systems unless a heat exchanger is used and cannot be used in continuous flow hot water systems.
  • Heat pumps – is high efficiency and uses around seventy percent less electricity than other hot water systems.  They work by extracting heat from the atmosphere using a refrigerant gas and a compressor.
Hot water system suppliers can assist with:
  • Advising on choosing a suitable hot water system
  • Installation
  • Service and repairs
  • Supply of the hot water unit
  • Minor plumbing

Increase the years of your Hot Water System


As your house starts to age, there are certain maintenance issues that need to be managed. Examples include air conditioning, window seals, garden maintenance and more. Very often people ignore maintenance on their hot water system. This can result in replacement of the system every few years or less.

There is a fix to extend the life of your hot water unit. By replacing the anode valve every two years you could double the life span of the system. The best part of all this is that you do not need a plumber to replace an anode valve. You can do it. An anode is the long metal rod that runs from the very top of the hot water system to the very bottom.

 Savings to be made by replacing the anode valve every two - three years.
·     Anodes cost about $50
·     4 anodes will cost about $200
·     Approx cost to install a hot water system $500
Using this method, you will save about $300 plus the cost of a new hot water system every ten years plus a whole lot of headaches.

Manly Plumber 101 Tips

The Plumbing Basics

Plumbing is very basic as it follows three rules:
1.     Gravity
2.     Pressure
3.     Water requiring it’s own level.
If you can understand these fundamentals, then you are on the right path to understanding the great mysteries of plumbing. This will help you in making many fixes in your home’s plumbing system thus saving you lots of trouble, time and heaps of money!

Every home plumbing system is structured with two different subsystems that are actually very logical. The first system supplies mainly fresh and clean water into your house or business. The second system removes used water. Water that enters your home or business is under great pressure, which forces it to travel. This pressure ensures that the water can travel upstairs and wherever it is required. To monitor the amount of water usage in your location, the water travels through a water meter.

All plumbing systems contain a main water shutoff or stop valve. Usually, this is located close to the meter. In most plumbing emergencies, the first thing to do is quickly locate the stop valve to turn the water inflow off. Its very important you turn the water supply off quickly, as your house or business will be flooded within no time.

However, should you discover that the plumbing issue is located in a sink or toilet, then you do not need to use the shutoff to stop supply to the entire plumbing system. It is very common that most fixtures have a stop valve to prevent further flooding.

Cold water incoming to the home is immediately ready for your usage. However, your hot water will require another step prior to your use. A pipe carries the cold water to your hot water system. From the hot water system, a hot water pipe transports the boiling hot water to all taps and appliances that require use. In order to maintain the temperature on the hot water system, a thermostat maintains the temperature that you set. The devices heating elements automatically turn on and off to maintain your required temperature. The recommended hot water temperature for a home is somewhere between a hundred and forty degrees F and one hundred and sixty degrees F. However, some homeowners set the hot water temperature to a hundred and twenty  degrees Fahrenheit as its more economical.

Additionally, it is common that some dishwashers require high water temperatures to help with the drying process. In these cases, the dishwasher will contain their own mini water heaters to increase the temperature by an additional twenty degrees Fahrenheit
