Hola Ladies and Gentlemen!
Can anyone recommend a good and trustworthy Plumber in the Punta Prima/Playa Flamenca area? I have a leak, a slow drip from the bottom of my electric water heater. I think (I am hoping) it might just be the seal.
A picture attached. Brand of boiler/heater is Simat.
Cheers! Glad to have this great forum to connect with people.
Andy.
I am no expert & no plumber. As a consumer. I think its terminal compare repair or replace. Think replace. Villas

I think I bought a new one for around 180 mark. I agree with Villas - replace.

Very helpful member
I have recently installed three of these water heater types. One leaking from the top and the other the bottom, the other was a brand new install. The units my customers have chosen are from Leroy Merlin, the 80L (for 2 people) is 89€ and the 100L version is 99€.
The problem with a leaking unit is it is typically an indicator of a bigger issue going on inside. See attached pic as an example!
By the time you have paid someone good money to 'take a look' you may as well have had a new install.
Hope it helps
Thanks Villas. I agree..... new unit makes sense.
Cheers Declan..... that's what I am going to do.
Thanks for the advice and breakdown of the numbers Will. Very useful. Much appreciated!
