One day you enter the bathroom and see a small puddle directly under your geyser. Perhaps it’s just a few drops. Or perhaps there is a sufficient amount of water to make you ask, \u201cWhat is wrong with the appliance?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, a geyser that leaks needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If water drips through the bottom of the geyser, it may be due to a loose pipe connection or corrosion in the storage tank. In some cases, the leak is actually higher up and water just works its way down the outside of the casing and finally shows up under the casing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is to determine the source of the water leakage<\/a> before taking any action to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In India, where geysers are commonly used with hard water, high fluctuations in water pressure, and frequent use throughout the winter, it is important for households to be aware of these indicators and take preventive measures to avoid further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Do First If Your Geyser Starts Leaking?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prior to investigation, ensure the appliance is safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geysers are a combination of electricity, water and heat. That’s why a leak, no matter how small, should not be overlooked, especially where water is pooling around electrical items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take these precautions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Turn off the geyser switch or circuit breaker, if possible, but make sure you can do this safely without touching wet surfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Cease use of the appliance until the cause of the leakage is determined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. If it is safe to reach and the leakage persists, close the water inlet valve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Minimize contact with the floor and keep the surrounding area dry, if possible, near exposed electrical components.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Have a professional serviceman or woman check it out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Do not remove the bottom cover of the geyser, open electrical connections or seal the tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another note: don’t assume that a geyser is safe just because it heats water as normal. A water leak can occur and an electrical fault can occur independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why Does Water Come Out from the Bottom of a Geyser?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There is no single reason. The appearance and frequency of the leakage, as well as its location, can be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Loose Water Inlet or Outlet Connections<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    One of the most frequent causes of leakage is the plumbing that is linked to the geyser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fittings can loosen over time as a result of improper fitting, pressure changes and repeated cycles of heating and cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Water that leaks from these connections can flow through the pipes and pool under the appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
