Hi all! I lost the geyser that feeds the kitchen and two kids bathrooms two years ago and installed a 300L EVT geyser to replace it.  In an effort to make the solar heated water go further, it pre-feeds the 200L conventional geyser that serves the rest of my rather large family. This one is the higher usage of the two, and the one that just decided to burst at midnight on a Saturday night ... Why can it never be lunchtime on a Tuesday? Any case I need to decide what to do. My first thinking is to ask for a cash settlement and get a new 200L EVT for the kitchen and kids, and move the existing 300L closer to where the high consumption is. Any thoughts on alternatives or what to watch out for when relocating solar geysers?

Turned out it was only the element gasket. Sorted R500 later, so no decision required now. Would still like to hear any ideas anyone may have.

Just a general observation: Get the sacrificial anodes in the geysers changed every couple of years, or least check them annually. You can significantly prolong the life of your geyser this way.

Had the exact same problem last year. With mine I had the earth leakage tripping all of a sudden and when testing each circuit on the DB board I found the culprit. The water was dripping onto the 230V connection.
Replaced the gasket and the element as well as the old element was pretty corroded already. This geyser was installed in 2013 and I am thankful it was only the gasket. I had this geyser retrofitted with a solar flat panel conversion 5 years ago before I even considered full solar PV. Served me well except the 12V circulation pump that I had to replace 2 weeks ago. They aren't cheap.
But your thinking is correct. I myself am considering a EVT geyser that would then feed this geyser. Financially I haven't been able to justify it though as my PV suffices to run the 3kW element and I always have hot water. The only reason I would want to do it is to have more volume of hot water as the 150l is rather limited for a household with 4.
