Talk about limited space! When we arrived onsite we immediately knew we would be challenged with this exceptional under-bench hot water cylinder. Existing cylinder tank is 45 Liters and needs to be replaced (burst) with an equivalent size. The problem though is that the new Rheem hot water cylinder is much wider at 535mm in diameter. This is mainly due to the fact that newer hot water cylinders are now manufactured with more insulation making them “fatter”. after Disassembling and relocating all plumbing to the left hand side of the sink bench we gained further 150mm which made it possible to fit the new under bench cylinder and ensure all valves trains and wastes are installed as required by NZS 3500. What initially seemed impossible worked out to be a 4.5 hour installation with a very pleased client! Another successful job for hotwatercylinders.nz!

WHAT A TIGHT FIT… In and out in 3 hours! The call came in at 9:30AM with Mrs James advising that her old low pressure Rheem which is over 30 years old has burst! Considered about timing because her holiday was already booked for the following day hot water cylinders NZ made it happen! To get this job done we have to not only “squeeze” the actual job into the day but also had to SQUEEZE the HWC into the cupboard! After we detached the panel, we managed to get the Gib out of the way and rearrange the timber to make the new mains pressure tank fit. Luckily it was easy enough to run a drain and the tempering valve rated to be screwed straight into the tank making a what seemed to be a hard installation very easy! In just under 3 hours this installation was done for our stainless special rate! Stainless Steel mains pressure solar ready with 10 years warranty, now Mrs James can go on holiday without having to worry about her hot water when she gets back!

15 Year old Rheem hot water cylinder

Its always frustrating when your hot water cylinder fails just after the warranty expires Its rare but it happens, even to a Rheem! In most cases the problem relates back to the quality of water.

If you are on tank or bore water supply and have a mains pressure cylinder, you should regularly (every 2-5 years) have a service done. By servicing your hot water cylinder you can avoid a nasty leak in future caused by corrosion. In this instance we were able to offer our special like for like mains pressure hot water cylinder replacement for $ 1200 all including! Concerned your cylinder is suffering from corrosion?
