Richard from Plumbdog takes on a huge commercial hot water system with some serious issues — and it’s not for the faint-hearted!
The Challenge
This wasn’t a normal home hot water job:
•3 x 332L/min units all linked together
•Pump errors causing circulation problems
•Seized valves and heavy calcium build-up
•System supplying showers for hundreds of guests
The Fix
Richard tackles the problem head-on:
•Explains how commercial hot water systems work — and why circulation is key
•Identifies the real culprit behind “no hot water” calls
•Performs critical maintenance while avoiding further issues
•Experiences the moment a valve snaps in his hand — yikes! 😬
It’s high-pressure troubleshooting, hands-on problem solving, and a few laughs along the way.
Takeaway
Commercial systems are complex. Regular maintenance and early fault detection are key to keeping hundreds of guests with hot water on demand.
