A water heater expansion tank, also known as a thermal expansion tank, is a small, secondary tank that attaches to the water supply pipe leading to the water heater. To answer the question 'what does an expansion tank do,' its primary role is to absorb the extra volume created when water heats up and expands. The water heater expansion tank purpose is clear: by providing this additional space, it prevents dangerous pressure from building up in your water heater and plumbing system.

The expansion tank, also referred to as a potable water expansion tank, is divided into two chambers: one filled with air and the other meant to hold water. As the water in the heater expands, it flows into the tank, compressing the air in the other chamber. This compression relieves the pressure within the closed water system. By regulating pressure in this way, the tank protects vulnerable components like:

The check valve ensures that the water inside your home stays separate from the external supply, but it also traps the expanding water within the system. Without a way to relieve the increased pressure, this can lead to damage in your pipes, water heater, and plumbing fixtures. This is where the water heater expansion tank comes into play.

Without this pressure relief provided by an expansion tank for water heater systems, over time, these components can fail, resulting in leaks, broken pipes, or a damaged water heater.

If you are interested in using Backflow Central as your calibration specialists and need to post or courier your test kit to us, please send to the following postal address: Ship to: Backflow Central Unit 3/34 Cessna Drive Caboolture, QLD 4510 Upon sending your test kit to us via post or courier, all we require is for you to have your contact details attached to the parcel. We will contact you once the Calibration Test has been completed. So don't put off your calibration until it's too late, bring your Test Gauge into Backflow Central today!

With our experience of calibration and repairs, we find that Test Gauges have a lifespan of typically anywhere between 2 to 20 years. This depends on a variety of factors, including- the brand of gauge, the operator's use, and the frequency of maintenance performed.

Many homes built before certain plumbing codes were enacted may not have an expansion tank, as they were not a standard requirement. In older systems, open water systems allowed the expanding water to flow back into the city’s water lines. However, in most modern homes with closed water systems (due to check valves or pressure-regulating valves), this is no longer possible.

As water heats up in a water heater, it naturally expands, a process known as thermal expansion. This expansion increases the volume of water, leading to excess pressure within the water heater's tank. In the past, this expanding water would simply flow back into the municipal water supply where it originated. However, modern plumbing systems are equipped with check valves that prevent water from flowing backward into the public supply, reducing the risk of contamination.

Should your gauge have a fault and will need repair, we will inform you on the condition of your test gauge prior to any work performed. We will explain the situation and what repairs may be required. Our minimum charge is $110 + gst for any work that may be required to fix the Gauge. Extra costs may apply if further repairs, or parts are required. In some instances, a Test Gauge may be unrepairable due to the internal corrosion of the alloy body. For this situation, the Test Gauge will require replacement.

If your home doesn’t have an expansion tank, you could still be at risk of pressure-related issues. Here's what you might notice:

Thermal expansion is a basic principle of physics. When water is heated, its molecules move faster and spread out, increasing the volume. In a confined space like a water heater, this expanded water has no room to go unless an expansion tank is present.

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

From our extensive calibration experience, we tend to find that the test gauges manufactured in Asia generally have a shorter operational life. The alloy internals tend to corrode at a much faster rate, which eventually makes the gauge unrepairable or serviceable. We always recommend the purchase and use of Backflow Test Gauges that are manufactured in the USA. They are constructed using superior quality components, which in turn leads to a product that has a much longer lifespan.
