I see there are a few threads here but can't see exactly our problem. Three days ago the hot water flow stopped/started/stopped but from tonight ~ zilch. We have a gas hot water cylinder. What could be wrong? Thanks

Probably failed tempering valve.

Did he sort it? Other possibility is if the gas cylinder is a ridiculously old one that is fed by a header tank - could be an air lock.

No. He twiddled and it came back on ~ but it had been doing that anyway. Off again since yesterday and I've been in touch again. ETA no aredwood it's not that old. Maybe 20 years?
