Let’s talk about Guarantees and the scary truth of what happens, if you have not already experienced it…

1. Your newly installed geyser will come with a 5 Year Warrantee.

BUT, if not installed correctly, you can find yourself in a frustrating and costly situation. These warrantees get voided on a daily basis because they were not installed correctly. This is then followed by arguments with the plumber who installed it and insurance companies involved. As the customer, what do you know about correctly installing a geyser right. You trust it will be installed correctly only to find it is not. Don’t find yourself in these situations. Use trusted installers that back up their work and are willing to take the risk away from you.

2. Components are the valves, elements and thermostat around the geyser, these all have a 12 to 24 Month Warrantee depending on the component type.

Pressure Control Valves (24 Month Warrantee) – not always changed on a geyser replacement, this is because nowadays the pressure control valve is installed on the main supply for balanced water pressure and is not near the geyser. If you don’t have balanced pressure, it is a good idea to make it a balanced pressure system.
Any other valve installed between the Pressure control valve and the geyser will void the warrantee, this is the main cause of warrantees been voided.

Vacuum Breakers (12 Month Warrantee) – x2 must always be replaced on geyser replacements, if not installed correctly, this will result in a voided warrantee.

Elements and Thermostat (12 Month Warrantee) – These components have started fires inside of homes way to often. This is due to the electrical connections not been tightened. Loose connections cause heat and spark and can burn down your home.

Temperature and Pressure Safety Valves (24 Month Warrantee) – this is installed on the geyser, the rating of this valve has to be the same rating as the geyser, incorrect rating is a voided warrantee. Some have capped/ blanked off this valve, which is extremely dangerous and there are cases where the geyser actually exploded, which ruins a home and can easily take someone’s life. The over flow also needs to be installed to a safe discharge area, if this valve opens to discharge high pressure or high heat, it can cause huge damage to your home and worst, injury or death to a someone.
