Troubleshooting Common Geyser Issues: Expert Advice and Quality Spare Parts

Your water geyser might be a common household appliance, but it provides your home with heated water for bathing or washing the dishes. The minute there’s a problem with your geyser, you’re at risk of having cold showers (which may not be ideal to some.) Regular maintenance is essential for maintaining the longevity and efficiency of your water geyser, so that you don’t experience these types of problems.

Identifying Geyser Components

Understanding your geyser involves knowing its key components and how they work together. Electric geysers consist of a heating element, thermostat, pressure relief valve, and tank. The heating element is responsible for heating the water inside the tank, regulated by the thermostat to maintain the desired temperature. The pressure relief valve ensures the geyser doesn't build up excessive pressure, preventing potential explosions.

If you start to notice that your water isn’t being heated properly, or there are some strange noises or leaks around the geyser, we recommend reaching out to a professional to assess the situation.

Troubleshooting Geyser Issues

While nothing stays in tip-top shape or condition as much as we wish it did, here are some ways to troubleshoot the most common types of geyser issues:

• No Hot Water: If your geyser isn't producing hot water, check the power supply, heating element, and thermostat for faults. Resetting the circuit breaker and inspecting for any damage can help resolve this issue.
• Water Temperature Fluctuations: Inconsistent water temperatures may result from sediment buildup in the tank or issues with the thermostat. Flushing the tank and adjusting the thermostat settings can help restore consistent temperatures.
• Leaking or Dripping Geyser: Leaks can occur due to faulty valves, loose connections, or corroded tank walls. Inspect all connections, valves, and the tank itself for signs of leaks, and tighten or replace any damaged components as necessary.
• Strange Noises from the Geyser: Strange noises like banging or popping may indicate sediment buildup or water pressure issues. Flushing the tank and checking the pressure relief valve can help alleviate these noises and prevent potential damage to the geyser.
