A geyser is fitted with a pressure control valve that drips on the overflow pipe. An intermittent drip, caused by the water in the geyser heating and cooling, is normal. However, a continual drip or the geyser overflow leaking or pouring is a sign that the geyser or one of its components is malfunctioning.
When a geyser’s thermostat fails, it may cause the water to boil and result in the temperature safety valve opening to prevent the geyser from bursting. This is potentially dangerous and requires the immediate attention of a competent geyser plumber. Switch the geyser off at the electrical main distribution board. Open a hot water tap to allow for the hot water to drain from the geyser while letting in cold water.
This is often the result of the geyser thermostat or element malfunctioning.
