This fault is normally treated as same-day work because the site has effectively lost hot water, steam or safe operation.
Meyersdal Ext is an extension of Alberton with a mix of original and renovated housing, so geyser positions, pressure control and pipework standards vary stand to stand. Sites with long, poorly insulated pipework lose more heat in distribution than most owners expect, which reads as a capacity problem at the outlet.
