  • What is an Instantaneous Gas Hot Water System?
  • Save Water and Money with an Instantaneous Gas Hot Water System
  • Safety First

What is an Instantaneous Gas Hot Water System?

Instantaneous, or continual flow, gas refers to a hot water system that only heats up the amount of water required. Rather than heating a full tank of still water, the unit only heats the water needed. When the hot water tap is turned on, the gas burner starts to heat the water as it runs through a coiled pipe then shuts off the heating process when the hot water tap is turned off.

Save Water and Money

The ‘instant’ effect of an instantaneous gas hot water system reduces the time it takes for your water to become hot. The quicker your water heats, the less water is wasted while waiting.

On average, a family of four can use up to 200 litres of hot water each day. As an instantaneous gas hot water system only heats the water you need, it can help to save you money. Rennai instantaneous gas hot water systems come with a 6-star efficiency rating, assuring you it’s exceptional quality and savings.

Safety First

Hot gas installation by Mainline

Hot water is a safety hazard and extreme caution and care must be taken. As the thermostat on an instantaneous hot water system allows you to set a maximum temperature, it can help to minimise the risk of burns to you and your family. The maximum temperature function can also give you peace of mind when it comes to yours and your family’s safety.

Save Water, the Environment and Money having your Dripping Taps Repaired

Tap Problems Call Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water & Gas

Dripping taps in the bathroom, kitchen, laundry or outside our home is a common scenario most of us have encountered. While a dripping tap is an issue we know we should have repaired, making it a priority is often dismissed.

Have you ever considered the on-flow effect of having one, or several, dripping taps around your home? Read on to learn the importance of having dripping taps repaired and how doing so can save water, the environment and money including:

  • How much water can a dripping tap waste?
  • How does repairing dripping taps help to preserve our environment?
  • How does repairing a dripping tap save you money?

How much water can a dripping tap waste?

The severity of a dripping tap and how many dripping taps you have around your home will determine just how much water you are wasting. A single tap that drips 10 times per minute can waste the equivalent of about 3 litres of water each day, 21 litres of water a week and over 90 litres a month. How much water is 90 litres? It’s equivalent to filling up 150 standard 600 ml water bottles. Over a year, the same dripping tap could waste over 1000 litres, that’s equivalent to filling 1800 standard 600ml water bottles.

How does fixing dripping taps help to preserve our environment?

Water is an essential resource. Our growing population means a greater demand on our water storages and our hotter, drier climate means less rainfall to fill our reservoirs. Water is precious and saving water helps to preserve our environment. There are many small things we can all do to help save water in our homes, one of them being having dripping taps repaired.

How does fixing a dripping tap save you money?

Dripping Tap

For most of us, water consumption is a utility we pay for the privilege of having. If you have noticed a spike in your water bill or your water costs continually rise despite being conscious of your water usage, repairing dripping taps is recommended. Reducing your water usage will reduce your water bill, saving you money.

How to Avoid Hair Blocking Your Bathroom Drains

Bathroom

Our bathroom drains become home to hair in many ways. When washing your hair, its normal to lose strands of hair which end up pooling in the shower drain. The bathroom vanity is a popular place to style your hair, meaning lose strands fall into the bathroom sink, eventually being washed down the drain. When hair makes its way down your bathrooms drains it gets stuck on other deposits, resulting in a blockage. Like a snowball effect, deposits continue to build increasing the size of the blockage.

How can you avoid hair blocking your bathroom drains? Read on to learn a few ways including:

  • Strainers
  • Regular Cleaning
  • Correct Tools and Equipment

Strainers

Strainers are available to buy from most supermarket and hardware stores. Be sure to measure the size of your plug hole to ensure a good fit.  

Regular Cleaning

Blocked drainage

A good daily habit to form is giving your shower and bathroom sink a wipe over. Yes, we are all busy however this will take just a few short minutes and will help to reduce the risk of hair blocking your drain.

Why are My Water Pipes Making Loud Noises?

Burst Pipe

Are you greeted with a loud rumble or bang each time someone turns on a tap in your home or workplace? When in good working order, water pipes aren’t meant to be noisy therefore if yours are causing you to want to block your ears each time you turn on a tap, there is good reason to believe you have a plumbing problem. While there are many reasons for water pipes making loud noises, if not inspected and repaired regularly, they can cause angst for homeowners with the possibility of costly repairs. Did you know, they can even be the cause of the supply of water to your home stopping all together?

Wondering what causes water pipes to make loud noises? Read on to learn 3 common plumbing issues that can be the cause including: 

  • Blocked Drains
  • Damaged Pipes
  • Worn Washers

Blocked Drains

If you can hear a prominent gurgling sound when turning on a tap, it is a good indicator your drains may be blocked. Items that can cause a drain to block include food scraps, cooking oils and hair. Any foreign matter that makes its way down a drain continues to build up until eventually causing a blockage.

Damaged Pipes

Burst Pipe

Beneath the visible surfaces of our home are metres and metres of plumbing pipes. All these pipes work, day in and day out, to ensure our homes plumbing functions correctly. Wear and tear over time can cause damage to plumbing pipes including small cracks, holes or piping to become loose. As a result, loud noises can be heard as water flows through. 

Worn Washers

Broken or worn washers in taps can cause loud noises therefore a good plumbing practice to get into is regularly checking all your taps washers for signs of wear and tear. Although tap washers can last a long time, generally they should be replaced every three to five years.

How to Prevent Blocked Drains at Christmas and New Year

Christmas plumbing

Here we are with less than 2 weeks until Christmas Day and less than 3 weeks to the new year (and decade!) Christmas and New Year celebrations often involve entertaining family and friends, meaning more people in your home. As lovely as entertaining is, it can be the cause of a common plumbing issue – blocked drains. A small drain blockage can quickly escalate.

Prevent blocked drains and enjoy a stress-free Christmas and New Year by following our 3 top tips to help prevent blocked drains including:

  • Dispose of food scraps correctly
  • Don’t wash cooking fats and oils down the kitchen sink
  • Remove hair from showers and bathroom basins

Dispose of food scraps correctly

Indoor and outdoor kitchen sinks can unintentionally become home to food scraps. Before washing dishes, either by hand or in the dishwasher, it’s important to clear any food scraps left on plates or bowls. Put your green Food Organics, Garden Organics (FOGO) bin to its correct use by scraping any food scraps into a biodegradable bag and putting in your FOGO bin. 

Don’t wash cooking fats and oils down the kitchen sink

When fat cools, it solidifies meaning cooking fats and oils that are washed down drains will not only cause drains to block but can be harmful to our waste waster system. Ensure cooking fats and oils are cleaned off fry pans and baking trays and disposed of before washing them.

Blocked drain

Remove hair from showers and bathroom basins

Did you know we lose on average between fifty to one hundred strands of hair each day? Bathroom basins and showers are a common place for fallen hair to accumulate, eventually making its way down drains. A daily check and removal of any loose strands of hair sitting in basins or the bottom of the shower will help to prevent the likelihood of a blocked drain.

5 Reasons to Call a Plumber in the South West

Call a plumber for plumbing issues

The convenience of plumbing in good working order is a luxury we take for granted. We see our homes taps, drains, hot water system, gas appliances, toilets and it’s easy to assume how they operate is straight forward, however this is not the case. Beneath the surface are many facets that all must work together to ensure they function correctly, and it is often only when there is a plumbing problem, we understand their complexity.  

Do you have a plumbing problem in your home? Read on to learn 5 reasons to call a plumber in the South West including:

  • Hot Water Issues
  • Blocked Drains
  • Burst Water Pipe
  • Blocked Toilet
  • Gas Problem

Hot Water Issues

No-one likes a cold shower, so if your hot water isn’t hot you want the services of a plumber and quickly! Other common issues with hot water units can include no water pressure coming out of the hot water unit and water leaking from the hot water unit, both reasons to call in a professional.

Blocked Drains

If water is not freely flowing down your drains, it’s time to call a plumber. Common culprits when it comes to sewer or septic systems blocking include tree roots, foreign objects entering pipes and cracks or holes in pipes. Blocked drains can vary in severity from entire drainage systems being blocked to just a basin or shower.

Burst Water Pipe

A burst water pipe is not always visual, so can be difficult to detect. A higher than expected water bill can be a warning sign of a burst water pipe along with the sound of water running when no taps are on. Plumbers have leak detection hearing equipment and thermal cameras capable of detecting all leaks.

Blocked Toilet

Toilet Problems

A toilet that won’t flush or is blocked can rapidly become an unpleasant problem. If your toilet is making strange noises, continues to make noise for longer than a few minutes after being flushed or you notice the cistern isn’t filling how it should, don’t delay calling a plumber.

Gas Problem

When it comes to a gas problem, safety is the number one priority. If you have issues with your gas or can smell gas where you shouldn’t then call a plumber immediately. When dealing with inspecting and repairing gas appliances, there are strict rules and regulations that must be adhered to.

3 Signs Your Hot Water System Needs Repairing

hot water system maintenance

Water is a resource most of us take for granted and hot water a luxury most homes and businesses can’t do without. Like all facets of plumbing, it’s important to have your hot water system inspected and repaired regularly. Neglecting to repair a damaged hot water system can waste precious water plus be the cause of a costly spike in your water bill.

How do you know it’s time to have your hot water system repaired? 3 signs to look out for include:

  • Leaking Water
  • Lukewarm Hot Water
  • Out of the Ordinary Noises

Leaking Water

Water leaking or pooling below or near your hot water system is a warning sign it needs repairing. A snowball effect occurs where residue builds up causing erosion, this erosion causes small cracks and these small cracks cause water to leak from your hot water system.

Lukewarm Hot Water

A tell tale sign your hot water system needs repairing is when your hot water is only lukewarm (or worse still cold!) Whether your hot water system is solar, electric or gas, they function in the same way in as they heat water, minerals separate and over time cause residue to build-up. The more residue, the harder your hot water system must work to keep your hot water at the correct temperature.

Out of the Ordinary Noises

hot water system maintenance

Have you noticed strange noises coming from your hot water system? Turning on your hot water tap to be greeted by a snap, crackle or pop is a warning sign your hot water system needs attention.

What Causes Low Water Pressure in the South West?

Bathroom

After a long and busy day, there is no better feeling than a long, hot shower. While being conscious of keeping your shower time to a minimum to save water, you want to make sure your time in the shower has an abundance of water pressure to soothe and relax your body and soul. If this is not the case for you and you have issues with low water pressure, there are multiple reasons why. Whatever the reason, there is a good chance you will need the services of a professional plumber.

Interested to know what the cause of your low water pressure could be? Read on to learn a few possible culprits including:

  • Blocked or Damaged Pipes
  • Broken Water Meter
  • Water Leak

Blocked or Damaged Pipes

If your water pressure is inconsistent, a blocked or damaged pipe could be to blame. What causes pipes to become damaged or blocked? A common cause are mineral deposits, often referred to as a calcium build up. Calcium and other chemicals found in water build up and over time can cause pipes to block.

Tree roots are often the culprit of damaged pipes. As beautiful as large leafy trees can be, their roots continue to grow and eventually make their way to water pipes causing damage.

Broken Water Meter

A blockage or damage within the water meter itself can cause water pressure to drop. While water meter damage is a less likely cause, it is important to rule out.

Water Leak

Burst Pipe

Beneath the walls of your home are numerous forms of pipes and wiring, all of which make your home function correctly. If a plumbing pipe has a leak or bursts, multiple issues can follow including causing damage to walls, electrics and supporting structures of your home too.  

Want to know how to check for a water leak? Record the current number on your water metre then don’t use any water for a few hours (great reason to treat yourself to a day out) then check the number again.  If the number has increased, although no water has been used, there’s a high chance you have a hidden leak and it’s time to call Mainline Plumbing.

Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas Busselton/Dunsborough can help you get your water pressure back!
