There are some very clear signs that indicate that it’s time to buy a new Geyser. Should you be experiencing any one of the four signs, contact us on 078 511 9555 and we will gladly get your Geyser back to working order in an efficient and professional manner.
Sign 1 # Age of Geyser
The older a water heater gets, the more likely it’s about to
break down. If your Geyser is over 10-12 years old and gets used regularly, it
has already reached its life expectancy.
Sign 2 # Leakage from the tank
A leak from your Geyser is usually caused by an internal
problem. If you spot a leak on your Geyser call us immediately. However, before replacing your Geyser, make
sure there are no other leaks coming from either the fittings or connections to
the tank. If the leak is big and damaging, it’s quite likely your Geyser will
need to be replaced.
Sign 3 # Visible rust in water
Check your Geyser for any rust or corrosion. Inspect the
area around the temperature-pressure valve and the inlet-outlet connections.
If there is visible rust in the water, this could mean there is rust inside the
tank. The thing with rust or corrosion is that once it starts it cannot be
reversed. It is only a matter of time before the rust damages the tank, making
it leak.
Sign 4 # Luke warm or cold water
If water isn’t as hot as it used to be or isn’t hot at all,
then the heating element of the Geyser may be failing due to sediments build-up
or age. If the Geyser is quite old then it may not be worth replacing the
heating element.
