Queensland’s Hot Water Rules You Should Know

While living in any part of Queensland, you must be aware of hot water rules and follow them to avoid any legal action. Keep in mind that the following rules must be obeyed by every resident of this region.

• Temperature for Stored Water: It is essential to store hot water at a temperature of 60 degrees or more in the storage tank.
• Temperature Limit for Tap Water: The temperature of bathroom water in taps and showers shouldn’t be more than 50 degrees because it can cause burns and leave other harmful impacts.

It doesn’t matter what part of the Sunshine Coast you are living in; it is important to remember these hot water rules and ensure that you are getting water within the given limit. Sometimes, sediment buildup or heating element failure can damage the temperature consistency in the stored and incoming water. It is highly recommended to get regular inspections of your systems, especially within holiday homes, to ensure that the system is following the given limits for hot water storage and supply.

In case your system isn’t following these hot water rules, you must take immediate action and call us for repair or replacement according to the overall condition of the system.

Three Habits You Should Follow for Extended System Life

1. Ease the TPR Valve Regularly: You should ease the TPR valve every six months by lifting the valve and letting it release the water. If you notice interrupted release of water or no water from the TPR, it means that the valve isn’t working properly and it needs inspection services.
2. Get a New Anode Every Five Years: Because of salty water, the sacrificial anode can be damaged and unable to provide enough energy for getting the required temperature. Therefore, it is suggested to get it replaced every five years for optimal performance of your hot water system.
3. Call for Regular Maintenance: You must ask professional plumbers for regular maintenance and hot water repair to cover the issue before it becomes too big.
