			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>A secret to double the life of your hot water heater</h2>
<p>Hi, my name is Tony Gentle, owner of Gentle Plumbing Services Pty Ltd and I’d like to reveal a secret about hot water, something that hot water manufacturers would love to remain a secret.</p>
<p>The secret is that if you own a Rheem, Dux, Vulcan, Aquamax or any mains pressure hot water system including Heat Pump hot water systems and solar hot water systems, you can literally double or triple the life expectancy of your hot water cylinder.<a href="http://www.pure-web-marketing.com/~gentlep/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Sacrifical-Anode.bmp"><img class="size-full wp-image-201 alignright" title="Sacrifical Anode" src="http://www.pure-web-marketing.com/~gentlep/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Sacrifical-Anode.bmp" alt="This can double the life of your water heater" width="257" height="363" /></a></p>
<p>How is it possible?</p>
<p>By simply replacing the ‘Sacrificial Anode’.</p>
<p>A ‘Sacrificial Anode’ is a long thin rod, made of magnesium that sits inside your hot water cylinder.  Being a soft metal, it is designed to corrode while protecting the hot water cylinder.  It only lasts about <strong>4 years</strong> (about as long as the tanks’ warranty period).  When the anode can no longer protect your tank, the tank rusts very rapidly and the rust then contaminates your food, your washing and yourself.  A rusting and ruptured tank not only costs you a fortune to replace, but can also cause major damage to your property.</p>
<p>The great news is that the anode can be replaced quickly and simply and as well as keeping your hot water crystal clear, it can literally double and even triple the life of your hot water cylinder (<strong>up to 25 years</strong>).</p>
<p>If you own a Rheem, Vulcan, Dux, Gas, Electric, Heat Pump or solar, main pressure Water Heater that’s over 4 years old a <strong>FREE</strong> 15 minute inspection by one of our very qualified technicians can help you decide if your tank is in danger of being one of the 20,000 or more that fail prematurely in NSW each month from rust.</p>
<p>Our qualified team from Gentle Plumbing Services Pty Ltd can inspect your Anode <strong>FREE OF CHARGE.</strong></p>
<p>You will receive a full written report on the present condition of your hot water tank and advice on any problems that may need attention.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>INSTALL A SOLAR  HOT WATER SYSTEM</h1>
<p><strong>Water heating</strong> is the biggest energy user in homes in Sydney  Australia.  By switching from an electric to a environmentally-friendly hot  water system such as <a title="solar panel heating" href="http://gentleplumbing.com.au/hotwatersystems.html">solar panel heating</a> , you could save three tonnes of  greenhouse emissions from your home each year and hundreds of dollars on your energy  bills.</p>
<p>The rebate for solar heating and <a title="heat pump hot water systems" href="http://gentleplumbing.com.au/hotwatersystems.html">heat pump hot water systems</a> is based on the amount of greenhouse gas emissions saved, determined by the  eligibility of your system for Renewable Energy Certificates</p>
<p>Solar water heaters also called solar domestic hot water  systems can be a cost-effective  way to generate hot water for your home. They can be used in any climate,  and the fuel they use is free.</p>
<p>How would you like hot water for free?  You’ll spend money up front to install the  heating system, but your home equity will increase instantly, often enough to  offset the cost of installation.</p>
<p>You’ll also pay reduced utility bills and within  a few years, you’ll recover the initial expense.   A solar water heater is far and away the  easiest initial investment in renewable energy.   Perhaps best of all, you’ll enjoy hot baths  or showers with the satisfaction of knowing the energy comes directly from the  sun.</p>
<p>Solar hot water heaters use up to  50-90% less energy than conventional water heaters.<br />
Using less energy means you can make big savings on your hot  water energy costs. So even though you’ll be using the same amount of water  that you used with a conventional water heater, a solar hot water system uses  much less energy to heat the water.</p>
<p>Thanks to all the available government rebates and  incentives now available, having  solar  hot water installed can cost not much more than an electric water heater. And  with all the energy costs you’ll be saving, solar hot water systems can pay for  themselves over time.</p>
<p>The average family of four switching from an old  electric to a new solar hot water system will save around $500 a year. Of  course, whatever saving they make is dramatically rising each year as energy  prices head north! You&#8217;ll also save around 3-4 tones  of carbon dioxide a year going into the atmosphere!</p>
<p>Some alternatives for environmentally friendly and  economical water heating are heat pump hot water, solar heating, solar hot  water, <a title="heat pump hot water systems" href="http://gentleplumbing.com.au/hotwatersystems.html">heat pump hot water systems</a> these can all be subsidized by the solar  hot water rebate for Sydney NSW Australia.</p>
