If you turned on the faucet in the shower and no hot water came out - chances are you have a problem with the boiler, but what exactly is the problem and what is causing it?
How can you identify for yourself where the fault in your boiler is coming from?
The location of the boiler, which is far from the eye, creates quite a bit of trouble.
The boiler is located on the roof most of the time, so we can not pay attention to small problems, which over time will become larger and more expensive to repair.
If the water does not heat up or there is a weak current, a sign that there is scale that has accumulated inside the boiler or inside the collectors.
If you have pressed the boiler switch and a short is created, there is nothing to press.
Most often, the problem is not with the switch, but with the heating element of the boiler, as a result of scale or leakage.
Clearing tartar and replacing the flange will solve the problem.
One of the "diseases" of the uncles is the accumulation of tartar.
Today there are all sorts of measures, which are supposed to prevent the accumulation of scale in the boiler.
One of them is a scale filter.
A common fault in a boiler is water leakage that occurs mainly as a result of poor sealing of the facility or wear and tear of the boiler.
The most common repair is the replacement of the heating element.
To do this, the heating element must be removed from the device on which it sits, called a flange, and a new one must be threaded in its place.
The cost of repairing a solar water heater: NIS 200-250.
What are the common faults in solar water heaters?
Tartar -
can be formed due to massive use of the electric heating element, the fault is repaired by replacing the heating element.
Liquidity -
comes mainly from the pipe connections to the flange at the bottom of the boiler.
Electricity - Electrical
problems are mainly problems caused by an internal short circuit in the electrical panel of the house and are not related to the solar water heater and the boiler technician.
Repair or replace?
Most boiler problems can be repaired so there is no need to rush and buy a new boiler unless it is a boiler that is eight years old and older.
The real problem starts when there is rust on the boiler, which does not allow the flange to be replaced.
In these cases, any repair will not last long and you will have no choice but to buy a new boiler.
