A warm shower on a cold morning is one of life’s simplest luxuries, until your geyser starts taking forever to heat or stops working altogether.
The truth? Even the best water heater needs care to keep performing at its best.

Whether you own an instant geyser or a 25-litre geyser, a few smart habits can extend its life by years, save you money, and ensure you always get that perfect stream of hot water.
Let’s explore practical maintenance tips that make a real difference for every water geyser and budget.

1. Schedule a “Geyser Reset Day” Once a Year

Pick one day annually to flush your water heater, check safety valves, clean filters, and inspect wiring. Treat it like a full-body health check for your geyser. Doing this once a year helps prevent sudden breakdowns and keeps your water heater investment in top shape.

2. Test the “Quick Heat” Performance

Every 3-4 months, measure how long your water heater takes to heat water to your usual temperature. If heating time increases noticeably, it may be due to sediment build-up or a failing heating element, both of which are easier and cheaper to fix early.

How to fix it:

• For sediment build-up: Drain and flush the geyser tank to clear deposits. In hard water areas, installing a water softener can also prevent future scaling.

• For heating element issues: If flushing doesn’t solve the delay, get the heating element inspected or replaced by a professional technician. A new element is inexpensive and restores your geyser’s efficiency instantly.

3. Protect Against Power Surges

Use a surge protector or voltage stabilizer, especially in areas with frequent voltage fluctuations. This protects the heating element, thermostat, and control board, crucial for both instant water heaters and storage water heaters.

4. Keep the Outer Body Clean & Dry

It sounds basic, but wiping down your water geyser regularly and ensuring no water drips on it prevents rust, paint peeling, and electrical risks. A clean geyser also makes it easier to spot early warning signs like rust spots, cracks, or leaks.

Extra Quick Tips for Maximum Geyser Life

• Never run a water heater without water inside; it can damage the heating element instantly.

• In areas having hard water, consider a water softener to reduce scale deposits.

Final Word

Maintaining your water heater isn’t about complicated repairs; it’s about consistent, small steps that protect performance and safety.
