Try to prevent it getting boring . One year ago.
Call from the printers I look after, no hot water to the sink where they wash the press rollers and the works toilets .
Immersion heater has failed after many years of constant use. Its high up on a platform in the Print Room so ladder job.
Fit an 11" Backer in base of cylinder and run off, giggling like a big silly giggling person.
Month later ...no hot water ... back complete with ladder, overheat button has operated ....reset it..all is well.
Couple of months later I'm there doing a job and its .." Oh that waters cold again " Bring ladder next day ...reset button , break the seal on the stat and turn it down ...all well....run off like a big daft dog.
Another couple of months ...water is cold again ...ladder ... remove heater cap...button has operated ... short out the damn thing and ride off into the sunset.
Cost of call backs so far....about £150 .
Working there last week replacing a line of lights ..." By the way the heaters gone again!"
Bring ladder next day plus a replacement stat just in case...... stat contacts are blown to bits. ..fit new stat ..drop ladder back at base.
Next day " Waters not getting hot by the way"
Return yet again today with ladder after giving wholesalers a round of U No Whats about rubbish goods....... stat is not calling for heat :C turn it up from halfway to 3/4 ..stat clicks in ,, heater starts pulling 12.2A .
Reason for the last debacle is the Print Room is very warm ...therefore so is the cylinder water ...it felt cold/cool because you are hot and sticky ....stat was satisfied at my first setting and wasn't kicking in. :_|
I have now left ladder there but hopefully won't need it . :coat
All under guarrantee so no charge other than a new stat FOC .
