How to light a gas hot water pilot light

If you have no hot water to your gas hot water system, you may find that the pilot light has gone out. This video gives slow clear instructions on how to re light the gas pilot light on your gas storage hot water system.
If this does not work then may be more wrong than just the pilot light gone out.
You will need to contact your gas technician or Moyle Plumbing & Gasfitting for more advice.

Im a single mum also. Gas man came and replaced the meter and my hot water went out!!! I only realised a day later. No customer service to offer to ignite your gas services after they switch off your gas. So im out in the freezing cold pitch black and its been over 10 years since I had last ignited the hot water myself. This video refreshed me and helped me ignite it on my 3rd attempt. Thankyou. Feeling happy now. I called my ex husband but did not need him. He can stay away😅

Thank you for your reply. If you’re unable to light the HWS after following these directions, you need to seek help from a licenced gas fitter. If you have checked that you have gas in the bottles then you may have a failed component in the system that needs repair or replacement.

Hey Mate, The water temperature is quite low in our aquamax hot water system. I roateted that levels from 4 to 5 but no significant difference.. is there any DIY steps that can be done before calling someone?
