Frequently asked questions
What temperature should hot water cylinder be set at?
The minimum required temperature in the cylinder itself is 60°C to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria like Legionella. However, water delivered to personal hygiene outlets must be no more than 55°C to prevent scalding.
How does a hot water cylinder work?
Cold water enters the cylinder, usually at the bottom. The water is heated either directly by an electric immersion heater or indirectly by a coil of pipe connected to an external heat source like a boiler or solar panels. A thermostat controls the heating element to maintain the set temperature
How to turn down hot water cylinder temperature?
You would typically adjust the thermostat located on the side of the cylinder, often found behind a cover near the element connections. Always turn the power off first for electric cylinders.
Can I replace my own hot water cylinder in NZ?
No, you cannot legally replace a hot water cylinder yourself in New Zealand. The replacement or repositioning of a water heater must be carried out by an Authorised Plumber under the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006.
