Can I install it myself?

Installation requires a stop cock and a connection nipple. These have to be assembled with zinc oxide paste. Moreover, the geyser needs to be mounted on sturdy brackets. This means digging into the walls with a chisel. It is a job that is best done by a professional from the company or provided by the dealer.

Hard water is water with dissolved calcium and magnesium. Water in many Indian cities is hard water. It leaves deposits called scales inside the geyser that have to be removed from time to time.

How long does a geyser last?

A geyser has no moving parts. If it does not spring a leak then it can easily last a decade. The biggest enemy of a water heater is corrosion and obviously, it lasts less in coastal areas. If the element burns out it can be easily replaced.

Do geysers make noise?

Yes! It is normal for geysers to make mild popping sounds as they heat and cool. It is startling but not dangerous. Also, the scales inside can contribute to its noisiness by emitting hissing sound as they absorb water or dry out.

How do I know if my geyser is working?

Unless it is an IoT device, geysers like bulbs are a simple device. They either work or they donu2019t. If they are working but seem to be taking longer and longer, it means a plumber needs to descale the interior.

How to deal with leaks?

Immediately turn off the power to the geyser. If possible get a chair and reach the stop cock and turn it off by rotating it clockwise. Call maintenance services or the company helpline. It has to be noted that repairing a geyser requires both an understanding of plumbing and electricity. Your local plumber or electrician might not be able to cope with the problem.
