    Options for Expanding Geyser + Heat pump

    Hey everyone, I’m in the process of purchasing my first home in place in Cape Town that came with a 100L geyser and a ITS-5HDP (5kW) heat pump which looks 5 or so years old. 100L isn't going to cut it for our household, but I’d rather not scrap a perfectly good 100L tank if I’m looking for...

    Gas Geyser Brands

    Has anyone got experience with Ariston Gas Geysers? I recently installed a gas geyser at my house, and although it's very convenient, 12l per minute is unfortunately too small. A 16l or 20l forced fan unit will suffice, and I'm quite drawn to an Ariston 24l per minute unit. I am also considering...

    Failed geyser vacuum breaker?

    Mains water to my house failed last week sometime, it took a few days for mains water to return, but when it did water started leaking from my ceiling.

    Solar geyser performance

    I had a solar geyser installed last winter - 20 evac tubes for a 200ltr geyser. The performance has not been great thus far - while it does work and can increase the geyser temp by 20-25 degrees in a day, it does mean that you still need to use A LOT of electricity. I spent some time monitoring...

    Geyser Blankets and electricity savings

    Hello Friends So got my bill for April and my electricity usage was insane (for one person living in a small place). I checked yesterday, and my geyser used around 6 units in just a few minutes over an hour. It seems just having my geyser on for an hour a day is going to add a significant cost...

    Truth About Switching Geysers Off?

    Hi, There is a lot of conflicting information out there - some say switch your geyser off for some hours per day will save and others (including Eskom) say doing that actually increases power use. Then the municipality wants to put a timer on your geyser so it only goes on for a few hours (at...
