What causes a geyser to burst

Generally, geysers do not burst or explode. Due to corrosion built up, geysers may fail in time.
Very high temperatures. When the geyser’s thermostat fails, the geyser might heat up beyond boiling point leading to the geyser to burst or fail.
If regular geyser maintenance was not carried out, the geyser’s pressure valve might give in due to corrosion built up inside the geyser tank.
Using low quality materials to maintain the geyser might result in leaks and can be accompanied by a burst geyser. Instead, use materials related to stainless steel and copper.
Expansion and contraction of the geyser metal, especially during winter months, in other words, when cold water is replacing the warm water inside the geyser.This can lead to a burst geyser.
