Breaking down of the anode inside the tank or mains water being dirty can cause sediment to build up in your hot water tank and affect the quality of your hot water.
Broken or ruptured tanks
Any tank that is leaking will require replacement as soon as possible.
Physical damage such as dents or cracks to the system
Some dents can be cosmetic and will not affect the performance of the tank. If cracks appear and the tank is leaking, a replacement tank will be required.
