Can anyone suggest a skilled Geyserwise installer in Cape Town (Northern Suburbs)?
I need a couple of issues looked at / fixed
- I have too many non return valves installed (previous guy who worked on this skrewd up). The result is that the pump needs to stay on for long stretches at a time as it tries to cycle the water. I need a valve removed.
- Something is wrong with the temperature sensor on the collector. It often measures the temperature on the collector to be quite a few degrees lower than it actually is. This means I'm not fully utilising the available heat from the sun and so the system is less efficient than it should be. During winter evenings, it actually reads the collector temperature below 0, which activates the anti-freezes mechanism and so it tries to pump hot water to the collector. But it can't, because of the non-return valves, and so it gets stuck trying to pump hours on end without actually making any progress.
- From time to time, the geyserwise display gives me an EA error code when checking the the collector temperature (pressing the two arrow buttons simultaneously). When in this state, the pump never starts and so I miss out on the heat that could be transferred from the collector. When this happens, I switch off the geyser on the DB board. When I turn it on again, the EA error goes away and the pump works again.
- In addition to all of this, I saw a flashing E8 error today. Not sure what it means.
- I'm planning on installing the Geyserwala Connect from Thingwala, in order to integrate my geyserwise system with Home Assistant. But I want to sort out all of the issues above before introducing more complexity, so I've been holding of on this idea.
Can anyone suggest the right guy to come have a look and sort out my issues? I'm not looking for the average installer. Someone who knows this stuff well and will sort out these issues on the first visit.
