Why Maintenance is Critical
Hot Water Cylinder Maintenance – Why It Matters
Your hot water cylinder is likely the last thing on your mind—until it fails. However, regular attention is the only way to ensure your system runs at peak performance, saving you money and significantly prolonging its lifespan.
The most common “silent killer” of efficiency is a leaking or overflowing valve. In many cases, your system is constantly discharging heated water, not just cold. Even if the water feels cold to the touch by the time you find it, you have already paid to heat it.
Key Benefits of Routine Care:
- Prevent Water Waste: Stop constant discharging from faulty valves.
- Lower Energy Bills: Stop paying for hot water that literally goes down the drain.
- Avoid Early Replacement: Catch small leaks before they turn into a flooded home.

Do you have a relief valve?
You can and will find a relief valve on almost every hot water cylinder. Some old low pressure cylinders, especially if they have a wet back were open vented, no relief valve. This is normal and there is no need to worry, however generally if there is no relief valve, your pressure will be relatively low.
The pressure relief valve is especially important for mains pressure cylinders as it protects the hot water cylinder from excess pressures. You will usually find it located at the top or to the side of the cylinder. The manufacturers suggest it is best to release the valve every six months, remembering to raise and lower the lever slowly. If the water does not flow when the valve is released it may be faulty or mean there is a problem with the system, you will need to contact a qualified hot water cylinder specialist to check this out as soon as possible.
Maintaining your hot water cylinder will extend its useful life and provide more efficient hot water heating year round. Regency Plumbing should be your first point of call for any hot water cylinder repair or maintenance in Auckland.

Hot Water Cylinder – What to do when you’re going on holiday?
If you plan on being away for more than a week it is worth considering switching the hot water cylinder off. This can be done at the switchboard or the isolating switch normally in the hot water cupboard, depending on your system. This will be sure to help you with saving you money on your electricity bill.
What is the correct temperature for your Hot Water Cylinder?
The water in your cylinder should always be 65 degrees (over 60 degrees) to prevent the chance of having legionella bacteria in your hot water system, and at the tap, it should be a maximum of 55 degrees to avoid people getting scalded.
This is for your regular residential home, as in some cases commercially – different rules apply. As an example a restaurant would require hotter water.
And then, just on temperature, some a re regulated to 45 degrees, like child care centres, schools, aged care homes, etc.
