Woke up at 6AM to the sound of my hot water tank boiling and a cold sweat as I realised I'd left the immersion on since 6PM the night before.

Hello,
I'm a renter of an apartment with a Viessmann Vitodens 222-w heater. I came back from a 1 week trip and my heater leaked into the ceiling of the apartment below me! I don't know what happened, but after some research, I suspect the heater wasn't installed correctly.

Hi, I bought a 1kw immersion element as I am off grid and need to replace the existing one and use a lower power than 3kw
I have not fitted it yet as some of the rods look too close and may touch with scaling up or a slight bending over time.
The gap is about 2mm.
Is this anything to worry about
