What breaks here—and why

Mermaid Waters sits around canals and Lake Hugh Muntz, with breezes that are great for solar gain but tough on exposed metalwork. In streets off Markeri Street, Rio Vista Boulevard and near Q Super Centre, we most often find:

  • Corroded unions and relief valves leaving damp pads or rust stains

  • Poor circulation between roof collectors and the tank (airlocks or tired pumps)

  • Booster elements not engaging after cloudy spells

  • Controllers or sensors drifting out of spec, causing lukewarm water

  • Collector issues: cracked glazing, insulation breakdown, or blocked flow

We turn up with roof-safe gear for low-pitch and tiled roofs common around the canals, then trace the fault without guesswork.

How we make it easy

  • Plumbers + electricians on one team — one visit, no juggling trades

  • 20+ years working on coastal hot water systems

  • Photos of the fault and straight talk about your options

  • Temporary systems fitted if a specialty part needs ordering

  • Punctual, tidy and respectful of property and body-corp rules

What the visit looks like

  1. Pinpoint the problem — Check collector temps, flow rate, controller program and booster operation.

  2. Explain & price — You’ll see what failed, why it failed, and a fixed price.

  3. Repair — Most parts are on the truck; clean, safe work on roofs and in tight side yards.

  4. Test & set — Temperatures set correctly; we show you exactly what we’ve done.

  5. No hot water meantime? — We can install a temporary unit while parts arrive.

Fix vs replace — straight advice

If the cylinder is sound and one component failed, repairing is usually the best value. If the tank is corroded or faults keep returning, we’ll price replacement options — solar, heat pump, or efficient electric/gas — and handle supply, installation and disposal with manufacturer warranties plus our workmanship guarantee.

Brands we know well

Rheem • Rinnai • Solahart • Envirosun • Stiebel Eltron • Chromagen (and others). For older or discontinued models, we track down compatible parts or suggest a sensible upgrade.

Handy steps before we arrive

  • Note any error lights/codes on the controller

  • If a leak is active, close the isolation valve near the tank

  • If power is tripping, switch off the HWS circuit at your board

  • A photo of the tank label (brand/model) speeds things up

FAQ — Solar Hot Water Repairs Mermaid Waters

Can you attend today?

Often, yes. Call early and we’ll try to slot you in same-day. If a specialty part is needed, we’ll confirm timing and can fit a temporary hot water unit.

Why is my water only warm after cloudy weather?

Typically the booster isn’t engaging, the pump isn’t circulating through the collectors, or the controller program needs correcting. We test each item before replacing anything.

There’s water under the tank — is it finished?

Not always. A leaking relief valve or union can look like a failed cylinder. If the tank body is rusted, replacement is safer — we’ll show you exactly which it is and why.

Can you work on low-pitch tiled roofs near the canals?

Yes. We bring the right roof-safety gear for Mermaid Waters homes and keep access neat through side paths and carports.

Do you supply and install new systems?

Absolutely. If replacement is smarter long-term, we’ll size and install the right solar or heat-pump option for your roof and household, then remove the old unit.

If it can't be fixed we can supply a new system from as little as $24 a week
