An update on this issue. I put the original thermostat back into the geyser and set it to 60 degrees. I then removed the NTC sensor from the tip of the Geyserwise thermostat and strapped it to the geyser outlet pipe (put it under the insulation/lagging).
I increased the setpoint on the...
Thanks for your help guys. I'll try and keep this thread updated as and when things happen, in case someone else experiences something similar down the line. I'm going to follow the suggestion from @soulie to put in a regulator closer to the geyser. I'm also going to do as @Tim_vb recommended...
I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I put the original thermostat back in and set this to 55 as you have. Where did you put your Geyserwise probe?
I don't have any solar heating/heat pump in my system, which is why I thought perhaps I could use the renewable energy port for the Geyserwise probe.

I still have the problem that I...
I don't fully understand the plumbing around the geyser, but two pipes are coming out of the ceiling, one which I think is connected to the drip tray (PVC?) and one which is copper. The water that comes out is from the copper pipe and is steaming hot.
Since I posted earlier today, I left the...

Hi
I see that they're busy digging what looks like fibre trenches in Howick. Anyone know what's the progress on that and which areas will be covered? Who is the infrastructure provider? Openserve :oops:? Will St John's Village be covered?
Alternatively, anyone have experience with and can...
