Product Information

Full details

The Genuen Hot Water Cylinder Tank Jacket is an essential upgrade for homeowners looking to improve home energy efficiency by minimizing heat loss in domestic water systems. Ideally suited for those with older or uninsulated water cylinders, this jacket keeps stored water hotter for longer, ultimately reducing heating costs and improving system performance; however, users should ensure their tank matches the specific 36-inch by 18-inch dimensions before purchase to ensure a proper fit.

FAQs

Will this jacket fit any size cylinder?

No, this specific model is designed exclusively for 36" x 18" hot water cylinders. Always measure your tank before purchasing.

Is the material safe to use near a hot immersion heater?

Yes, the Genuen jacket is made from flame-retardant materials designed for safe use around domestic heating components.

Do I need professional tools to install this?

No, the jacket is designed for easy DIY installation and includes all the necessary fastening ties required to complete the job.

How thick is the insulation provided by this jacket?

This jacket features an 80mm thickness, which provides high-performance thermal insulation to reduce heat loss.

Can I use this on a cold water storage tank?

This product is specifically designed for hot water cylinders to retain heat. It is not intended for use on cold water tanks.

Troubleshooting

Jacket panels feel loose or slide down the tank

Ensure all provided fastening ties are pulled taut and correctly locked to secure the panels firmly against the tank walls.

Water in the tank is still cooling down too quickly

Check that the insulation panels are flush against the tank with no gaps, and verify that the top and bottom of the tank are also properly insulated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces energy consumption by retaining heat
  • Easy DIY installation with included components
  • Provides an effective upgrade for older, uninsulated systems
  • Durable, lightweight, and flame-retardant material

Cons

  • Size is strictly limited to 36" x 18" cylinders
  • Requires access space around the tank for proper fitting
  • Does not replace a leaking or damaged cylinder

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning installation, ensure your hot water cylinder is clean and dry. The jacket is designed for a straightforward application using the supplied fastening ties to secure the four panels tightly against the tank surface. It is critical to measure your cylinder precisely to confirm it is a 36" x 18" unit, as gaps between the jacket and the tank can reduce its insulating effectiveness. For care, perform an occasional visual inspection to ensure the ties remain secure and the panels have not shifted. The material should be kept free of heavy dust or debris buildup to maintain its structural integrity over time.
