Blocked Drains
One of the most obvious signs that a drain is blocked is if your toilet, shower, bath or sinks are draining slowly. If a blockage is particularly bad, water may not drain away at all.
From foreign objects that have accidentally been dropped down the drain to a heavy build-up of hair, grease and other gunk, there are many reasons why your household can be experiencing blocked drains.
Burst Pipes
Winter weather can cause freezing in your pipes that can lead to a burst pipe. However, pipes can burst year-round. Anything that causes a build-up of water pressure in your pipes can cause it to burst. For example, if your pipes become clogged, then the water pressure may build behind that clog causing the pipes to expand and eventually burst.
Damage to your pipes can also cause them to break. A frozen pipe falls into both categories since the pipe can break when it becomes clogged with the frozen water, or it can break when the frozen water expands. Other potential causes of broken pipes include: old pipes becoming corroded and bursting, tree roots breaking a pipe or a collapsed pipe from construction near your home.
Geysers
The geyser consists of a water tank fitted with two pipes - one for inlet of cold water and the other for outlet of hot water. The water tank is fitted with heating elements which are controlled by thermostats. The thermostats ensure that water is not heated above a set temperature value.
Solar Geysers
Solar water heating is heating water by sunlight, using a solar thermal collector. A variety of configurations is available at varying cost to provide solutions in different climates and latitudes. SWHs are widely used for residential and some industrial applications.
Heat Pumps
A heat pump is a device that transfers heat energy from a source of heat to what is called a thermal reservoir. Heat pumps move thermal energy in the opposite direction of spontaneous heat transfer, by absorbing heat from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer one.
Water Tanks
Made from high-quality, UV-resistant polyethylene, they come in a range of sizes and are purpose-built for safely storing water and other liquids. JoJo tanks have a modular system, which lets you set up the tank, connect it to your gutters, and store hundreds of litres of harvested rainwater. Water tanks can also be filled up with municipality water supply and be kept for when there is a water shortage.
Leaking Taps
Water leaks and broken pipes can be a big problem for any homeowner. Because water in supply pipes is under pressure , if a pipe or fitting springs a leak, the water usually sprays out with considerable force.
Leak detection
Pipeline leak detection systems are engineering systems used to detect leak of materials from the pipeline, in order to alert the operator to leak incidents. Different technologies are available to detect the leak from pipelines, depending on the nature of the fluid in the pipeline and the leak size.
