There is nothing worse than coming home from holiday and your ceiling has caved in and your room has been flooded, or after a long day’s work, climbing into an ice cold shower.
How can we get the most out of our geyser? Well let’s admit it, nothing lasts forever, but like all things in life, if you take the time to service and look after that old geyser, it should last a lot longer and, or, prevent serious damages to your property, electrics and avoid the hassle of putting in a claim with insurance.
So, how can you get the most out of your geyser?
The answer is simple: Service your geyser annually.
This allows the anode, element, thermostat, vacuum breakers and valves to be checked and replaced if they have worn through, cleaned if dirty and fixed if leaking. Servicing your geyser also involves draining the geyser and removing lime scale and sludge from the tank and the entire installation would be checked for any leaks. Should leaks be found during the warranty period of the geyser the manufacturer of the geyser would have to replace it at no cost to you. Sometimes a geyser could have the smallest leak which goes unnoticed or does not affect you until it’s too late resulting in damages to your property.
