Why Hot Water Cylinders Matter
Gently operating a cylinder relief valve lever every six months checks that water still flows freely through it.
Some cylinders need a major service every five years, with a new relief valve and an anode check, according to Rheem.
A cylinder relief valve dripping into the gully trap is one of the places to check if you suspect a water leak.
Hot Water Cylinders cost
Cylinder warranties can exclude routine replacement of parts such as the anode and the relief valve, according to Rheem.
A major cylinder service can mean draining the cylinder, so hot water may not be back until the next day, according to Rheem.
Cylinder size, where it sits and whether existing pipework can be reused all change how long a replacement takes.

What clients say
Trusted by Birkdale homes
Jake was fantastic when he installed a gas hob for our family. It was done to a high standard, taking a great deal of care to make sure it was level for cleaning and easy lighting, I recommend them for any work you want done.
