Hot Water & Water Systems

No hot water? Leaking cylinder? Problems with your water pump or tank? Atkinson & Donaldson Plumbing installs, repairs and services hot water and water systems throughout Rotorua, including hot water cylinders, solar hot water systems, water pumps and tanks. Whether you need a repair or are considering a replacement, we can assess the system and work out what needs attention.

Hot Water Cylinders

Hot water cylinder problems can range from a small leak to a complete loss of hot water. We can help with the following situations:

  • No hot water

  • Not enough hot water

  • Water leaking from or around the cylinder

  • Damaged or ageing plumbing connections

  • Hot water cylinder repairs

  • Hot water cylinder servicing

  • Cylinder replacement

  • Hot water upgrades during renovations

If you’re unsure whether the cylinder can be repaired or needs replacing, we’ll inspect it first and talk you through the options.

Repair or Replace Your Hot Water Cylinder?

A hot water problem doesn’t automatically mean you need a new cylinder. Sometimes a repair is enough. In other cases, particularly with an older or badly damaged system, replacement may make more sense. We’ll look at the fault, the age and condition of the cylinder, and the wider system before recommending the next step.

Work involving water heaters is subject to New Zealand requirements. What is required will depend on the type and extent of the work being carried out.

Solar Hot Water Systems & Repairs

If you have a solar hot water system that needs plumbing work or repairs, our team can help. We can assess the plumbing components of the system, identify what requires attention and carry out the appropriate work.

Water Pumps & Tanks

Tank and pumped water supplies rely on several parts of the system working together. When one part starts playing up, the whole supply can be affected. Atkinson & Donaldson regularly works with water pumps and tanks, including:

  • Plumbing connections

  • Installation

  • Repairs

  • Water supply problems

These systems are common on rural and lifestyle properties around Rotorua, where a reliable water supply is especially important.
