Compare Local QuotesCommon Faults in Muizenberg
- Corrosion on fittings. False Bay air is salt-laden and valve bodies, tray metal and exposed pipework take it directly.
- Older housing stock. A lot of it, much with original installations that predate drip tray and overflow requirements.
- Vacuum breakers weeping. They perish quietly and the water runs down the outside of the cylinder, which reads as a mystery leak until someone looks.
- Sand and grit in the supply. Debris holding a safety valve off its seat produces a running overflow that clears and then recurs.
Overflow Running Constantly?
A brief drip while the geyser heats is thermal expansion and normal. A constant run is not, and in a water-tariffed city it adds up faster than the repair costs.
The usual causes are a failed pressure control valve, a perished safety valve, or debris holding the valve open. All three are inexpensive relative to what an unresolved over-pressure problem eventually does to the cylinder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is water running down the outside of my geyser?
Most often a perished vacuum breaker on the hot or cold connection. They weep quietly rather than dripping obviously, so the water appears on the cylinder body and reads as a mystery leak.
My overflow ran for a week then stopped. Is it fixed?
Probably not. Debris from the mains holding a safety valve off its seat clears on its own and then recurs. It usually means the valve is at the end of its life and no longer seating cleanly.
Does False Bay air affect geysers as much as the Atlantic side?
It is salt-laden air either way, and the effect on fittings is similar. Valve bodies, trays and exposed pipework corrode faster than they do inland regardless of which coast you are on.
Is my older Muizenberg installation compliant?
Many are not, usually on the drip tray, the overflow discharge point or pipe insulation. It does not make an existing installation illegal, but it all has to be brought up to standard when the geyser is replaced.
Can grit in the water supply damage a geyser?
It does not damage the cylinder, but it holds safety valves off their seats, which produces a running overflow that clears and then recurs. A valve held open by debris rarely seats cleanly again and is usually replaced.
