If you need help maintaining your drains. I can clean them with a high pressure jetter and camera inspect them to see if there are any issues. Get in touch!

💩 Is something unpleasant bubbling out of your bathroom drains?

🚽 This can happen if your overflow relief gully (ORG) has been blocked.

During heavy rainfall, there are a few important steps you can take to protect your home from wastewater backflow:

✅ Check your ORG – it is an external plumbing fixture (like pictured) that helps prevent backflow into your home. The grate should be left uncovered and should be easy to remove
✅ Check your stormwater drains aren’t connected to your sewerage or your ORG – this can cause inundation not just for you, but for your neighbours
✅ Cover and weigh down internal fixtures such as bathroom drains, sinks and closed toilet seats with a sandbag or similar
❌ DO NOT put sandbags in your toilet or on your ORG.

Learn more about your ORG at the following link👇

Having your hot water system installed and maintained by a licensed plumber is essential. If you have ever seen an aerosol can explode in a fire I’m sure you would have an idea of the amount of damage that would have occurred if this home owner had not noticed their hot water system at number 2 of a count down. Someone had removed the cold water expansion valve and the hot water pressure and temperature valve had clogged resulting in excess pressure in the steel cylinder. It is recommended that water is manually released through each valve six monthly and the valves replaced every 5 years. Be safe all and care for your hot water system.

A customer of mine recently had the circuit board in their gas water heater fry. Due to my client having solar electric panels on their roof and they were selling excess power back to the electricity grid we decided the economical choice was to replace the old gas unit with a modern smart electric. This unit has a built-in timer that can be controlled via Bluetooth. Now that the timer is set for prime daylight hours they are no longer paying for the fuel to make water hot and they are definitely making the most of their rooftop solar! Call me to discuss the best options for your hot water requirements. David Johnstone- 0411 388 452

Today I replaced an old ceramic moulded basin and tap with a new one. It was all done in a morning with minimal fuss and cost for the client. It brought a shabby and tired looking vanity back to life ready for another 15 years of seamless service. If you’re vanity is looking worse for wear give me a call and I can come have a chat about options. Dave 0411388452

To all my valued customers.

Please check to see if you have an affected Thermann heat pump. If you have any questions please ask.

The safety of our customers is our highest priority. We’ve decided to recall the Thermann X Split Heat Pump Water Heater Outdoor Unit (Model Number THP45). All THP45 units purchased nationally from Reece stores or supplied by Reece between 28th October 2021 - 23 September 2024 are affected. Other Thermann products are not affected.

The units may have also been supplied as THP45x160, THP45x250, THP45x315 or THP45x400.

If the plastic cover on the side of the unit is removed to operate the push buttons on the controller board, there is a risk of electrical injury from accidental contact with the nearby live mains electrical terminals.

What should I do?

If you are impacted by this recall, you can continue to use your unit as normal, however please do not remove the plastic cover on the side of the unit or attempt to operate the controller board push buttons. Please contact Reece using the information below to arrange for an authorised Reece service agent to provide a free on-site remediation service. This will involve fitting a sheet metal cover over the electrical terminals.

Bluetooth and wifi has finally caught up with hot water systems! This Smart Thermann water heater has connectivity to enable the home owner to set heating times on their hot water system to maximise usage of power produced by rooftop solar. It also has holiday and eco modes.

I called out the big guns on this job to remove an old solar hot water system from a roof. With electric solar so popular now, I’m removing more and more solar hot water heaters. Electric hot water systems are a great way to capitalise on your electric solar used in conjunction with a timer. Using a heat pump unit will make it even more efficient.
