Do You Own A Gas, Electric or Solar Mains Pressure Hot Water Tank, That’s Over 4 Years Old, And You Haven’t Activated It’s Safety Valve Every Six Months Since New?

 

If you answered yes to the above question your tank could be in danger of prematurely rupturing or exploding.

 

At Swift Plumbing our customers occasionally and unfortunately experience  hot water tank ruptures, or worse,  explosions, and the main cause is an old or faulty Safety Valve.

 

The Safety Valve, or Temperature Pressure Relief Valve, as its commonly called, is designed to release hot water in an over pressure or an over temperature situation.

 

Tank manufacturers place a warning on the side of your tank recommending that you activate your tanks safety valve every 6 months and have it checked or replaced every 5 years, or more frequently in areas of high water deposits.
