Hot water cylinder repairs across Auckland
Services include
- Valve / cartridge replacement if you have a leaking valve
- Repairing leaking pipework to or from the cylinder
- Replacing leaking cylinders.
Why do I have no hot water?
In most cases, the reason is electrical, such as faulty elements, thermostats, or isolating switches.
However, there may be a plumbing problem, such as a leak in a hot water pipe letting cold water feed into the cylinder or a faulty pressure reducing valve, or safety valve. There may also be problems with the tempering valve.
Why do I keep running out of hot water?
Your hot water cylinder may be undersized for your water usage, or your thermostat may be set too low. Under normal use, a family of four typically needs about a 200-litre capacity hot water cylinder to make sure they’re not going to regularly run out of hot water under.
Why is my water pressure so low?
It is likely you have a low-pressure cylinder. Older cylinders tend to be smaller and low pressure, whereas modern electric hot water cylinders are high- or mains-pressure and hold 180 litres or more. In this case, you may want to consider upgrading to a mains pressure system.
Your pressure may also be affected if the flow is impeded by a faulty shut off valve, a clogged filter or a faulty limiting valve or your pressure reducing valve is incorrectly adjusted.

Servicing hot water cylinders
If you are unsure if you require a repair, or a replacement, give us a call. We do checks and repairs to existing hot water systems as well as new hot water cylinder installations.

- Hot water leaks – we have specialist equipment for leak detection and repair.
- The water from your hot water system is brown or rusty or contains sediment.
- The hot water system is making creaking, cracking or popping sounds.
- The water from your hot water system smells funny.
- Hot water is running out or the temperature keeps fluctuating.
- Hot water pressure is less than ideal.
Call FlowFix Plumbing on 027 265 4949 to book an on-site inspection. Most issues can be fixed. However, should we find a safety issue or discover that your hot water system is beyond repair, we can provide a quote for a replacement.
