Hot Water Unit Service and Drainage Setup | Dianella
We recently attended a property in Dianella to inspect and service a hot water unit that was experiencing issues.
Work Carried Out
During our inspection, we identified that the hot water unit likely requires a heating element replacement. We also found that the drip tray did not have a drain connection, which made it difficult to safely drain the unit during servicing.
To resolve this, we installed grab fittings to allow a hose to be connected to the cold water relief valve, enabling the unit to be drained safely to an external location.
As part of the service, we:
- Flushed the hot water tank to remove sediment and improve performance
- Serviced the hot water unit to ensure it was operating correctly
- Prepared the system for a future element replacement
Additional materials supplied outside of the standard CMP docket included a B-Press joiner and three male line fittings, which were used to complete the installation safely and to plumbing standards.
Outcome
The hot water unit is now set up for safe drainage and ongoing maintenance, with the system flushed and serviced to support reliable operation. The added drainage connection will make future servicing more efficient and help reduce the risk of water damage.
