Hot water pressure is much weaker than cold, or fluctuates at the outlet. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on hot water systems in Hurlingham Estate.

This fault is normally treated as scheduled work because the plant remains usable, but the fault will get more expensive the longer it is left.

Hurlingham Estate is an estate development adjoining Sandton, with standardised heat pump and geyser installations fitted at build and now reaching first major service intervals. Where a site runs on borehole water, hardness and iron content shorten service intervals considerably and are worth testing before setting a maintenance plan.

Static and dynamic pressure measurement; Valve position and condition audit; Flexible hose inspection; Flow measurement at outlets. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.

Can I keep using the system in the meantime?

Usually yes, for a short period, but efficiency and component life are both being lost while the fault persists.
