Arniston Water Heater

Eish !! leaking 10l geyser in cupboard - had to remove urgently before it became a problem with further damage.. Guess what Ariston--- says they cant help as warrantee void when removed. Paul Rawsthorne (Ariston) quotes all the T&Cs why they cant help. Said I must install it and then log issue for them to come assess ..this problaby while it still leaks.. makes no sense. Based on google reviews I'm not alone
