Hot Water System in Hawthorn

The team at Gallant Plumbing recently attended a hot water system in Hawthorn. The client was unable to get hot water from their system, therefore requiring our plumber to attended site.

Arriving on site to investigate, our Melbourne plumber found that the system did not have a pilot light. He then checked the solar pump control temperature which was as it should be, at approximately 35 degrees celsius. 

The next step was to check the building pump controller circulation temperature. Our best plumber found the error code temperature too low, however found the building circulation pumps were operating as required.

 

Hot Water System in Hawthorn.

To resolve the hot water system issue at hand, the plumber removed the booster cover and checked the hot water service booster controller. The error code temperature came up as low, indicating the systems error. Through investigation, the plumber found the booster filter was clogged with debris and as a result, causing a lack of hot water. Cleaning the booster and reinstating water supply, the booster fired up and was now running at 75 degrees celsius. Hot water was now running to the clients unit.

Our hot water plumber made some recommendations to the client to help prevent the issue from occuring again. These recommendations included installing a bag filter system to the buildings hot water service. This would reduce hot water system down time, a result of the booster cold water inlet filter clogging up. If installed, only annual maintenance would be required. If not installed, our Melbourne plumber recommends quarterly maintenance or more to clean the booster inlet filter.
