4 Signs That You Need A New Geyser Installed

• Most things in a home deteriorate over time. Your geyser is no exception. Without proper maintenance, the wear-and-tear happens a lot faster and can be more devastating. If it’s not caught in time, you geyser could burst causing even more damage and costing you thousands in damages and repairs. Luckily for you, you can avoid the stress of that situation by watching out for the following warning signs:
• Rusty water – in some cases, if a geyser is on its way out you will find rust particles in the water. This most likely means there’ll be rust inside the tank. Once rust and corrosion start, it’s irreversible and it’s only a matter of time before the tank starts to leak.
• No hot water – if you notice that your water isn’t getting as hot as it normally does or that the water isn’t heating at all, then it’s most likely that there is a problem with your geyser. The first thing you should look at is the element. Often, the element can be replaced and the problem resolved, but in severe cases, you need to replace the geyser completely.
• Water leaks – a leaking geyser is often caused by an internal problem. If you notice your geyser leaking – call a plumber immediately. But, before you replace the geyser, check if there are other leaks coming from the fittings or connections to the tank. If the leak is severe enough, you’ll need to install a new geyser.
• Old geysers – if a geyser has been properly installed and maintained your geyser could last 10 years. However, the older the geyser, the more likely it is to burst, so if your geyser is over 10 years old you should consider replacing it as a preventative measure.
