Water Heaters - I got a biggin

90% of NZ Hotwater cylinders are 100% Copper. Ranging from about NZ$65 - NZ$150.
Normally ~ NZ$80. (US$60+)

There's some steel lined ones if it's set up for gas heating (rare) & some glass lined Steel ones that already had a bad reputation by the time they hit the showroom floor.



When they had the huge earthquake in Christchurch a few years ago, Hotwater cylinders were being stolen left-right-centre from abandonded houses.
In the end the Insurance company's just said "Take it out if you want to & sell it for scrap $, it'll give you some money & there's less chance of the house being broke into from there on"
