Deagon's Older Hot Water Tanks
Second-life cylinders in the older streets
The 1908 Blackwood estate filled out in the years after the First World War, and houses kept arriving through the 1960s in weatherboard, fibro and brick, so most storage tanks here have been swapped at least once already. Census figures put 87.5 per cent of homes as separate houses, so ground tanks and side-passage units both turn up on our run.
Flat ground along the creek
The suburb lies on low alluvial flats along Cabbage Tree Creek, and council mapping places the February 2022 flood extent over many of the local streets. Where a new tank goes, its stand height and its fittings get planned with those overlays in mind.
Mild winters, sharp mornings
Frost records for the area list none in a typical year, yet the first cold snap of the season still puts strain on a tired thermocouple or an ageing element, and tanks in the older houses can shift from working to weeping with little warning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3524 7164Do Deagon's older houses need tank replacements rather than repairs?
Usually, because a cylinder leaking from its body has finished its life, though Taigum Same Day Hot Water checks every unit in person first and quotes a part repair wherever one holds.
Can a heat pump cope on the creek flats?
Yes, provided it sits clear of the damp ground, we mount the unit on a raised stand, keep it clear of bedroom windows, and check drainage and airflow before connecting anything.
Why is my tank cold on an Energex off-peak supply?
Off-peak tanks heat overnight on cheaper power, so a cold morning tap often means the heating window closed hours earlier, and we test the element and thermostat to confirm which it is.
Does the February 2022 flood mapping change where a new tank goes?
It can, because council overlays follow the creek flats, so Taigum Same Day Hot Water sets tank stands and mounting heights around the mapped levels and flags anything that needs lifting.
How hot should storage water sit?
Stored water is held at 60°C to stop Legionella taking hold, and a tempering valve drops what reaches the bath tap to 50°C or cooler, so the tank holds a higher temperature than the shower delivers.
