High capacity hot water on demand, trust Raypak!

When it comes to high output reliable commercial water heaters there are only a handful of companies who provide systems that are designed to keep with the high demands placed upon them.  Brands such as Bosch, Rinnai and Rheem are synonymous in the field of commercial and industrial water heaters.  There is one other brand which is only known amongst those who are qualified to deal with high output boilers and that is Raypak.  Rheem own and distribute the Raypak brand across Adelaide in South Australia from there warehouse in the suburb of Cavan.  These commercial hot water services are found in locations such as hotels, food preparation centres, swimming pools, apartment buildings and hospitals to list just a few of the many uses that these high demand water heaters are used in.

Raypak hot water services can deliver up to 1500 litres of 80 degree water in one hour.  This process is achieved using large amounts of either natural gas or LPG and extremely large copper fined heat exchangers.  Depending on the desired use for the hot water coming out of these units the plant room can be set up with singular or multiple circulating pumps and large storage vessels so that the large volume of hot water can be delivered during peak periods.

You will find that not too many plumbers want to work on hot water systems in Adelaide and when it comes to large scale complex set ups there are even fewer who will repair, service and install these appliances.  Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting have developed a reputation for not only being one of a few companies who will work with these hot water units but a reputation for being the best hot water plumbers.  Our maintenance division can have plumbers dispatched to remote locations and we also provide plumbers on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  We understand that businesses don't just operate Monday to Friday 9am till 5pm so when something breaks down its most likely going to be at the most inconvenient time and your going to need a reliable company to call upon, that's the Mayfair difference.  For support 24 hours and 7 days of the week contact 1800 694 689 or email inquiries by clicking here.

Should I get my pipes inspected with a camera in Adelaide?

Its a great question and one we quite often get asked, should I get my pipes inspected with a camera?

There are a couple of things you should firstly ask yourself:
  1. How often are my drains getting blocked?
  2. And who is the best plumber in Adelaide to perform this task?
It need not necessarily be an old home or building where the drain pipes are continually blocking up, it could be a new build or just a case of abuse causing the lines to repeatedly chock up.  So what we need to establish is the potential reason for the repeated blockages.  If its a new build then the chances are it will be due to building materials being placed into the drains during the construction phase and it is an older home well the chances are that the pipes will have cracks in them and therefore tree roots have made there way into the lines (very common in South Australia).

Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting offer a huge range of drain camera inspection equipment along with highly sophisticated location devices.  What does this mean to you the customer?  It means that firstly we can get to the source of the problem in all sizes of pipes ranging from 40mm all the way up to 300mm and in all types of material such as PVC, Clay, Earthenware, Concrete, Black Max, HDPE, Geberit, RCP, Rehau, Copper and Cast Iron.  The bonus of using the locator sonde inside of the cameras head while inside the pipes is that once we have located the source/s of the problem with the inspection devices we can then tell our clients exactly where the problem/s lie in relation to the above ground area and also the exact depth.  The accuracy of this equipment is to the nearest 10mm, now that's accurate!
An example above of the many varieties of drain cameras we use at Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting in Adelaide to investigate drain pipes across the state

This type of technology has been around for many years BUT not too many plumbers are using the best equipment money can buy.  By using cheap imitation equipment it gives false results and poor inspection images, overall a bad job.  Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting pride ourselves on continually re investing back into our plant and equipment and providing our clients with fantastic results at the same rates which others charge for inferior services.
We have dedicated staff who are highly trained and experienced which only work on locating and detecting plumbing problems so you know when you do engage the services of our staff that the person attending is fully licensed and trained in the field of work you are paying for, camera inspections of sewer drains.

Is my hot water service still covered under warranty?

When ever we get a new inquiry relating to a faulty hot water system the first thing we always ask our customer is how old is your current system?

9 out of 10 times the answer is I’m not sure but it’s pretty old.  So how can you tell what age the hot water service is?  And if it is still covered under a manufacturer’s warranty?

All hot water services come with some form of compliance plate or sticker attached to them, the trick is finding where this information is located on the system itself and if it is still legible.
If your hot water service is located on the roof ie: Solar Hot Water Service finding the compliance plate is going to be tricky unless you have a ladder and you’re not worried about climbing onto roofs.  Other types of water heaters such as continuous flow or instant gas the compliance plates can be located behind the front cover and should not be accessed unless you are a licensed gas fitter or electrician.  But on the storage type cylinders which sit on the ground when the unit is brand new you will find the compliance plate along the top part of the cylinder, but of course over time this can become deformed by the weather and fade away.

At Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting we always write the Date of manufacture, Serial number and Model number down onto the user manual and also onto the customer’s receipt of purchase.  By doing this it provides our customers with an immediate point of reference in the future when it comes to warranty claims.

You will find that all hot water manufacturers cover everything in the first 12 months from installation by a licensed plumber and then after that the amount of cover slowly decreases.  After the first 12 months things like labour may no longer be covered but parts will be.  Items such as the heat exchangers and tanks are covered for far longer periods with some manufacturers offering up to 10 years’ warranty depending on the material and the use of the system ie: domestic or commercial.

If you have a question which might be related to a warranty claim on your hot water system contact us today on 0429361819 or email all online questions 24/7 to contact@repairwaterheater.com

But wait there’s more, this new technology from Bosch is available in three different sized models starting off at the 16L, then there’s the 20L model and at the top end of the scale there is the 26L model for the larger home or office.  Of course the new units are compatible to both natural gas and lpg.

OptiFlow combustion management allows the energy rating of the new units to achieve a 6-star energy rating meaning it will now cost you less to heat the water from your continuous flow system, the list of benefits just keeps growing.

Just another suburb we work with pipes and drains, Wingfield in Adelaide's northern suburbs

Don't get caught sleeping on the job in Wingfield, you'll be woken up by a freight train heading out of the main rail yards in Dry Creek and Mawson Lakes.  Your likely to spot the most train activity while working in Wingfield would be along South Terrace and a small section of Cormack Road before the trains exit and enter Ottoway.
During the day time hours of the week between Monday to Friday you'll find the streets in and out of Wingfield very busy.  Of an evening things quiet down and its not a place you might want to be found wondering around in with the Gypsy Jokers Motor Cycle (GJMC) club calling this location there home there can be a spot of police activity occasionally.
Wingfield which is one of the states older suburbs was formed back in 1877.  It has become home to Adelaide's largest industrial and commercial industries and lets not forget the Wingfield dump on the Northern side of the Port River Express way.  Due to the fact many of the states head offices are located here its not un common to find more higher end drinking and boiling water dispensers such as the ZIP Hydro Tap and the Billi models.   These need regular servicing and a times can be a little challenging for our plumbers due to the complex nature of the computer controlled systems inside of them, but regardless of how big the challenge we always get the job done.

The city of Port Adelaide Enfield look after the day to day running of this location and its surrounding suburbs and over time our company Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting has built up a strong professional relationship with the staff.
