it means wrap it up with insulation to keep the water from loosing its heat.

Lag your tank – Put an insulating jacket around it…. not as relevant these days as most tanks come pre insulated surrounded by foam… but back in the ‘olden days’, you could just install a bare uninsulated copper tank which leaked heat like no-one’s business.
I also think ‘lag your tank’ is a euphemism in parts of Essex !
e.g. "are you coming down the pub tonight or are you staying in to lag your tank again?"
Of course I could be wrong…..
