Gas Geyser Brands

[HansRoos]

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 a Dew Hot 20l forced fan unit. What other geysers can you guys reccommend? Is there anyone who maybe gets along with their 12l gas geyser while showering? My current unit is a 12l Delta Engineering forced fan.

I have this. Zero issues and does the job. Can have a shower and another tap open no problem.

How easy/costly is it turn your existing geyser to gas?

How easy/costly is it turn your existing geyser to gas?

Depends entirely on your setup. Typically the gas geysers need to be reasonably close to the taps they're supplying.

You're basically going to be paying for the following:

• Disconnection of old geyser and replumbing to wherever the gas geyser goes
• The gas geyser itself with installation, CoC etc

This may involve a builder, plumber, electrician and gas installer as they each have different roles in the process. Whatever you do, don't be tempted to DIY. You absolutely need the gas CoC.

Sounds very costly

My gas installer quotes R5k to install the pipes, fittings and COC at my house. The plumbing I DIY'd because I live on a farm and it was easy to change. But a plumber quoted around R2k to do the plumbing (don't know what COC would've been). But I've heard someone installed a Paloma 26lt, and installation plus the gas bottles and deposit, costed him R29k for the lot.

I have a 16l/min Ariston for the kitchen, laundry and maid's quarters and a 26l/min Paloma for the rest of the house. The Paloma is a beast, no issues running two showers at the same time.

Had them both for about two years and not had any issues with either (apart from running out of gas mid shower once or twice but that's pretty much unavoidable).
