Looking for owners recommendations of any reliable, professional products and installers of apartment rooftop hot water tanks.
Our first tank lasted 10 years, our present one only 15 months.
Any advice very much appreciated.
Our location is East side.

Many thanks .

Unsure where you are on the East-side. I live on a small estate 8 kms east of Esentepe. Everybody on our estate uses Seref for all of plumbing/water tank replacements. I can PM his 'phone number if you are interested. He works the local Esentepe area.

If a supplier were to place a rusty nail in a tank before fitting it would reduce the life considerably. I'm not saying this goes on here but hey this is Cyprus.

Do you want Seref's ' phone number via PM, he certainly covers Bahceli? He can quote you a price. Remember, inflation has raised prices over 30+% in the last year.
