This fault is normally treated as scheduled work because the plant remains usable, but the fault will get more expensive the longer it is left.
Westcliff Ext is an extension of Rosebank with a mix of original and renovated housing, so geyser positions, pressure control and pipework standards vary stand to stand. Gauteng municipal water is moderately hard, so scale on elements and heat exchangers is the single most common cause of falling performance.
