    Geyser in the roof? same thing in Valley Settlements? If an Electrician was their for 2 days, He "sounds" like an Idiot.
    If the Element is 230/240 volts and it is getting 110 volts, it will not get hot, he needs to see why the element is not getting full voltage.
    He needs to see voltage going into thermostat, then out of thermostat and overheat disc, and down to element.

    If an amount of voltage is at breaker, and not at water heater, The wiring DOES have a problem.
    Breakers or the Buss they plug onto can reduce voltage and be intermittent.
