Why is my hot water pressure low?
Low hot water pressure can be caused by sediment buildup inside the tank or pipes, a faulty tempering valve or a partially closed isolation valve. In older systems, corroded or blocked pipes may also restrict flow. If only hot taps are affected, the problem is likely with the hot water unit. If pressure is low across both hot and cold taps, the issue may be related to the mains supply or general plumbing system.
Can a hot water system be repaired or does it need replacing?
Some hot water system problems can be repaired, such as faulty thermostats, valves or heating elements. Leaks around fittings or from the pressure relief valve are often repairable. However, if the tank itself is leaking or the unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Repeated issues, rising energy bills or inconsistent temperatures are signs that your system may be better replaced than repaired.
What is a tempering valve?
A tempering valve is a plumbing safety device that blends hot and cold water to ensure a consistent and safe outlet temperature — typically around 50°C in homes. It helps prevent scalding by controlling how hot water reaches taps and showers, even if the water heater is set at a higher temperature. Tempering valves are required by law in many installations, especially in households with children or elderly residents. Faulty valves can affect water temperature or flow.
How long does it take to heat a hot water system?
The time it takes to heat a hot water system depends on the type and size. Electric storage tanks generally take 1–2 hours to fully heat, while gas storage systems are quicker at around 30–60 minutes. Continuous flow systems heat water almost instantly as it passes through the unit. If your system is taking much longer than expected, it may indicate sediment buildup, a faulty thermostat, or a failing heating element that needs servicing.
