Low-pressure cylinders are also known as ‘unequal-pressure’ cylinders and are categorised by the hot water pressure being lower than the mains cold water pressure.

Upgrading to a mains pressure hot water cylinder is a popular choice for many homeowners looking to improve water flow and shower pressure.

The running cost of a hot water cylinder depends on several key factors, including the energy source, cylinder size, insulation quality, and your daily hot water usage.

Hot water cylinders should be repaired and maintained by qualified plumbers or plumbing and gasfitting professionals, depending on the system type.

In New Zealand, hot water cylinders can be covered under your home insurance policy, but it depends on the nature of the damage and your level of cover.

Hot water cylinders are generally quiet during normal operation, but they can make noticeable sounds under certain conditions.
