Our boiler is leaking from below, I'll show you what to do... The cause of the leak was corrosion of the tank. The water heater needs to be repaired or replaced. Installation of a water heater is carried out in three stages.
- Stage 1 - installation of the water heater on the wall;
- Stage 2 - connecting the water supply system;
- Stage 3 - connecting electrical power to the boiler.
Our Geyser storage water heater suddenly leaked at night. Water flowed in a strong stream around the perimeter of the tank casing - this means that the tank was leaking. Replacing a tank is expensive, so it is more economical to replace the water heater with a new one; we bought a similar one from Concepta. Replacing a water heater with your own hands does not require any special skills or tools; every home craftsman can do it.
How to determine if the tank is leaking? If it is clearly visible that water is leaking from the upper or lower part of the tank, along the connecting seams of the facing panel or thermometer, the conclusion is clear - through corrosion of the tank cannot be repaired! If it is leaking from the bottom cover, then for diagnosis it is enough to remove it by unscrewing several bolts.
There can be several reasons for a leak. Often when inspecting such a boiler it is discovered that:
When installing a new water heater, the installation requirements were grossly violated. When the water pressure in the cold water supply system was above 5 atmospheres during the day (more at night), a pressure-reducing regulator (reducer) was not installed. Subsequently, the safety valve did not have time to relieve excess pressure (possibly water hammer), expansion of the tank occurred, which led to at least a violation of the integrity of the internal enamel, which means intense corrosion, shortening the service life of the tank.
There is often a situation when a consumer, either out of ignorance, they say we were not warned, or a desire to save money, does not regularly clean the boiler of scale and replace the anti-corrosion magnesium anode, which also significantly affects the lifespan. There are a lot of cases when “masters”, when installing a boiler, discover increased water pressure and the impossibility (or unwillingness) to drain its excess discharge into the sewer; they do not install an excess pressure relief valve on the boiler at all, which, by the way, comes complete with the boiler, and without it , if the tank is still under warranty, the case is considered out of warranty.
