Gem Home Services’ plumbers are also experts at making your tank last longer.
A simple anode inspection and replacement at year nine or ten could help double or triple the life of your hot water tank. So, during you repair or another service, your Gem plumber will advise you on the age of your tank and the steps you can take to prolong the life of your system.
Just like a car, your hot water system can benefit greatly from periodic servicing. One of the most important things to do is activate your tank’s “safety” valve every six months. You should also have the valve checked and/or replaced every 5 years (there’s actually a warning label printed on your tank by the manufacturer advising you to do this).

Is Your Hot Water System a Ticking Time Bomb?
Hot water tanks can and do regularly rupture and even explode in homes throughout Australia.
And the main culprit is an old and jammed safety valve.
Major hot water manufacturers recommend you activate the safety valve on you hot water tank every six months and replace it at intervals not exceeding five years (every tank has a warning above the safety valve stating exactly the above).

Do You Want Your Hot Water Tank to Virtually Last Forever?
Well, you can, and it’s as easy as just replacing the rust prevention device on your hot water tank.
It’s called a sacrificial anode and is simply a rod made of magnesium that hangs inside your tank to attract the highly corrosive action of “electrolysis” caused by the heating and flow of your hot water.
Hot water tank manufacturers install a sacrificial anode in your new tank to prevent corrosion during the five-year warranty period. After 5 years, the anode is usually eaten away to a point where it cannot protect your tank from corrosion. The good news is that if you inspect and replace the old anode in your tank, you can double to triple the life of your hot water tank.
Don’t risk it, your hot water system could be starting to develop rust right now, but a replacement anode will stop the rust immediately- helping to double to triple the life of your hot water tank.
