Choose a hot water cylinder around how your household actually uses hot water
An ageing, undersized or low-pressure cylinder can affect everyday hot water throughout the house. Replacing it is an opportunity to reassess what your household actually needs rather than automatically installing the same type again.
Peter Jackson Plumbing considers hot water use, available space and the pressure required across your outlets when helping select a replacement. Options include mains pressure cylinders, Rheem and Rinnai enamel and stainless steel models, indoor or outdoor installation and solar-compatible coiled cylinders.

Mains pressure upgrades can improve hot water pressure throughout the home
Older homes may still have low-pressure hot water systems. Moving to a mains pressure cylinder can provide stronger hot water pressure at taps and showers, but the replacement needs to suit the household rather than being selected on cylinder size alone.
Peter Jackson Plumbing considers how the household uses hot water, available installation space and the pressure required across the outlets before recommending a system.
Rheem and Rinnai cylinder options include enamel and stainless steel models, with indoor and outdoor configurations available. This allows the replacement to be selected around both the home's hot water requirements and the practical installation space.
Cylinder choice can accommodate different properties and future water-heating plans
Not every replacement has to reproduce the existing arrangement. Different cylinder materials, locations and configurations provide options when an old cylinder reaches the end of its useful life or the household's requirements change.
Peter Jackson Plumbing supplies Rheem and Rinnai hot water cylinders, including options suitable for indoor and outdoor installation. Rinnai coiled cylinders are also available for homes where the cylinder is intended to work with solar collectors.
This means cylinder selection can account for the property's current hot water requirements as well as a planned solar-compatible arrangement.
Solar-compatible and coiled cylinders
The Rinnai coiled mains pressure cylinder is built to work with solar collectors, using the coil to transfer heat efficiently into stored water. This is often the choice for a household moving away from element heating over time.
Which cylinder fits depends on roof orientation, existing pipework and how much hot water your home draws each day. Installation, repairs and ongoing servicing of solar collectors fall under solar hot water work.

A mains pressure cylinder can be an option when upgrading an older low-pressure system. The appropriate replacement depends on your household requirements, available space and existing plumbing.
Cylinder selection should reflect how your household uses hot water rather than simply copying the existing cylinder. Household demand and available installation space both need to be considered.
Yes. The available range includes Rheem and Rinnai enamel and stainless steel cylinder options.
Outdoor cylinder options are available, as well as conventional indoor installations. The appropriate location depends on the property and selected system.
Peter Jackson Plumbing supplies Rinnai coiled cylinders designed to pair with solar collectors.
