Troubleshooting electrical geyser of hot water

Home inspectors are waiting improperly installed or faulty geyser of hot water are just the most common problem encountered during home inspections. Some of the issues of the geyser, you can meet with the owner.

Dripping geyser overflow

Geysers often leak (drip) in the valve overflow pipe pressure control. This is normal as the water warms and cools in the hot springs. But more than a few liters a day off normally ensure that the safety valve is defective. This valve must be replaced if it is constant by the overflow pipe runs constantly. Was an occasional drop of water from the geyser is in order.

Overheating: steam or hot water escapes from the overflow

Geyser thermostats are especially made for the error in the open or "off". If the thermostat does geyser to heat water at no more obvious. However, sometimes the thermostat error "on" position, in which case the water to boil and explode geysers can.

An indication that this happens when the hot water and steam seen coming from an overflow pipe. Steam and hot water that comes out shows that the temperature and pressure valve (TP) valve is releasing hot water because of high temperatures and pressure builds up in the geysers. The most common cause of overheating is a faulty thermostat. This is potentially very dangerous and should be seen immediately. Switch off the geyser and call a plumber.

Water penetration through the ceiling

This suggests that the geyser erupted once or spread over a great loss and reduced [trading system and overflow (if any) is not ready. Turn off the power immediately and supply of cold water to the geyser. Change the geysers power distribution main. Call a plumber.

No hot water

Check if the breaker is triggered geysers on the main distribution. Only the reset circuit once or twice. If you continue to travel, then call an electrician. If power is OK, but there is no hot water - then it indicates that the thermostat or heating, which failed. The thermostat and the heater always be replaced together. Plumber to do this.

Water not hot enough

This indicates that the thermostat setting is too low, or, or that, and the thermostat / element is disturbed. Set the thermostat to 65 degrees. C - set a higher temperature is not recommended. If the geyser is old, inefficient and may calcify. In this case, the replacement of geysers.

Poor hot water pressure washer

A number of things that can cause a low pressure hot water washing. Among these old galvanized pipes blocked or valve blocked or dirty. Some houses have old low pressure geyser - 100 kPa - instead of the modern high-pressure geysers - up to 600 kPa. Geysers are generally low-pressure spherical "lacto" valves instead of the modern valves pressure control. A pressure relief valve mounted on the supply of cold water to the geyser, ensures that the supply of hot water baths and cold for the same pressure to evaluate high-pressure geysers.
