2. Can anyone install the Geyser or i need an electrician or plumber?

We would best recommend a professional electrician or the manufacturer if the product carries a free installation. its always advisable buying the water heater from a store nearby which is the best option as they would help you with installation support and take care of future problems . We do not recommend calling in any local plumber as he could make mistakes on installation which could damage your water heater and void the warranty . It is better if you seek help from the place you purchase it, avoid online purchase as they do not assist you with installation or future service. Some manufacturers provide installation service when you purchase a new item. an installation accessories kit would be necessary for a new installation - the kit would be a set of connection pipes, bolts, 15a plug in some water heaters , teflon tape, angle valve and extension wire the water heater is away from the socket.

3. How you can make your geyser a smart geyser?

Any water heater geyser can be converted to a smart product by installation of a 16a 3000w wifi module , there are many brands in the wifi modules available most companies are overpriced the best solution product would be a sonoff module which can be installed easily the same can me integrated with alexa or google home - the interface is very user friendly and there are options like schedule time control where you could set a particular on and off time for a month or a year, you could set an auto off after 30 minutes or 60 minutes which would keep you from forgetting when to turn it off.

4. How wattage is related to heating time?

Wattage of a geyser is totally dependent on the wiring in your apartment or home, using more than 3000 watts would require higher grade wiring- wattage of a geyser from 1-10 litres is usually 3000 watts and 25 litres is usually 2000 watts - time taken to heat in 3000 watts is shorter by about 5-8 minutes compared to 2000 watts this inversely affects your electricity bill and increases wear and tear of your heating element which would hinder earlier maintenance.

5.What is the best geyser for hard water?

Hard water is dissolved salts like calcium, magnesium, chlorides, iron. They can cause corrosion or scaling inside the walls of the geyser and heating element which in turn would increase power consumption and maintenance. If you have hard water or bore water its best to look for a geyser which is built to last in hard water, a geyser with mild steel glass coated tank with glass coated Incoloy heating element along with a aluminium anode rod for greater durability and longer life span. You can also install a water softener that will turn hard water into soft water before passing it to the geyser.

6.How long does a water heater last?

Depending upon the usage, brand and capacity, electric water heaters usually last at least up to 10 years. According to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors a traditional storage water heater can last up to 10 years depending on the water hardness, daily usage, build-quality, installation and preventative maintenance.
As it starts aging it gives hints that it needs replacement soon. For example, rusty water can turn the water heater rusting inside out causing great damage with time. Sedimentation at the bottom of the tank makes boom-bang sounds coming out from the geyser. The sediment build-up forms calcite that is heated and re-heated regularly destroys your water heater in a way it starts losing its efficiency sooner than what is expected. Water leakage can be the ultimate goodbye sign of a geyser- but look for easy repairable loose connections and fittings, leaks in pipes.

7. Is it normal for the electric water heater to make noise?

Yes, a faint noise, once the water inside the tank has reached the desired temperature is normal. However, if you hear banging, hissing, or knocking sounds, call the customer service. This might be due to the unwanted limescale deposits in the tank. You might even want to check the heating element.

8. Is it normal for a gas heater to make noise?

If you hear sounds like popping, hissing and crushing it is due to the sediment build-up inside the tank. Hard water which contains high level of calcium and magnesium salts crates a calcite layer at the bottom of the tank. When the moisture between the sediment layer and the geyser wall starts to boil it makes such noise. You need the flush the geyser to get rid of all the sediment build-up.

9. How do I know if I need to replace the water heater?

You should observe whether the heater is supplying surplus hot water or is losing out on it every few minutes. Steady supply of hot water at the desired temperature shows that your heater is fit to run for a few more years. However, if the temperature fluctuates or the water output has sediments in it, it’s definitely time to change your water heater.

10. Why is my heater releasing water?

It is common for the modern water heaters to release a small amount of water now and then. This is to maintain the internal water pressure in the tank. A multi functional safety valve keeps the water pressure and temperature in check and prevents the tank from leakages and bursts.

11. How to turn off a leaking water heater?

First and foremost thing to do is to shut down the water supply to the unit. Every water heater comes with an instruction manual when purchased. Depending upon the brand, the steps may vary but make sure you study the manual and follow the instructions carefully. In case it doesn’t work out, call the helpline number.

12. Why is my new water heater pipes leaking?

sometimes you might notice water leaking from the connection pipes or inlet angle cock / angle valve to the inlet and outlet of the water heater, Leaking pipes or angle cock indicate that it is time for its replacement of sanitary items this can be replaced by a plumber this does not indicate a water heater problem instead it indicates installation issues or post installation corrosion or installation issues by the plumber in many cases installation done by the company could go wrong if you have made a purchase of pipes and other installation accessories from the vendor you have purchased the water heater as company installation team do not get enough revenue for installation forcing them to sell pipes which usually costs double the amount.

13. Why is my water heater leaking?

If you find water heater oozing out from the body or inlet / outlet pipes this issue is serious as the inner container is ruptured this can usually happes in a due course of time due to hard water or excess pressure build up, if the same is found in a new water heater this seems to be a faulty product.

14. Why isn’t my water heater producing enough hot water like before?
If your water heater is running out of hot water quickly or is producing lukewarm water, it could be due to two main reasons. One- the heating element is filled with high scale / salt content this usually is a problem in hard water areas.

15. Lately i have been getting a foul smell from the hot water tap that connects to the water heater. What should I do?

Smelly / stinking water could be due to the sedimentation and limescale buildup in the water tank. With heavy chlorination of the inlet water, one can observe unwanted microbial and mineral buildup within the tank. This might cause the foul smell in the water. Regular flushing of the tank keeps the tank clean and safe for further use, this usually occurs due to a magnesium rod that is used in today's water heaters to keep the heating element safe, if you find this issue change the magnesium rod - this is a regular complaint in AO Smith water heaters , this occurs less in other brands due to different inner containers.
