8L - 20L Diaphragm Geyser

This is the most common unit in SA - this unit can be installed inside (needs to be flued to the outside) or can also be installed outside under protective cover. This unit is fitted with a flue sensor mounted on the flue diverter. The function of this sensor is to shut the unit down within 4 minutes by law if the flue is blocked or the flue is not fitted.

How it works:

- Ignition is through Type D torch batteries
- Open hot water tap - the water pressure pushes the diaphragm forward, the spring loaded pin moves forward and activates the micro switch and sparker, signalling to the electronic box that there is spark and that the gas solenoid valve must open the gas to the main burners
- For the geyser to operate at it's best you need 1.8 - 2.5 bar constant water pressure
- Also keep in mind that if your water line exceeds 8m you might encounter some heat loss
- Always insure to install the correct size geyser.

Here is some information to assist you in choosing the correct geyser:

A 16L geyser promises to deliver 16L of warm water at maximum gas and maximum water, increasing the heat of the water coming in between 25 & 30 degrees so if the ambient temperature of the incoming water is 20 degrees the outgoing water then will be 45 - 50 degrees celsius. If you require the water to be warmer you simply restrict the water flow but remember by doing that you also degrease the litres per minute.

Available in the following sizes: 6L, 8L, 10L, 12L, 16L & 20L

Type B - Zero Start Geyser

This unit can be installed inside (needs to be flued to the outside) or can also be installed outside under protective cover. This unit is fitted with a flue sensor mounted on the flue diverter. The function of this sensor is to shut the unit down within 4 minutes by law if the flue is blocked or the flue is not fitted.

How it works:

- Ignition is through Type D torch batteries
- Open hot water tap - the water pressure pushes the light weight magnetic floater up and activates the geyser by signalling to the electronic box that there is spark and that the gas solenoid valve must open the gas to the main burners
- This type of geyser operates on low water pressure and is also less sensitive to mixer taps
- Once installed and you are ready to set the temperature, start by doing the following:
1 - set the gas knob to minimum gas
2 - set the water inlet valve to maximum water flow, and open your tap
3 - set the correct water temp by slowly increasing the gas
- This makes the zero start unit the most efficient on the market
- To determine the size required is different to the diaphragm units. Simply do the following to assist you in choosing the correct size. This exercise is only if the water pressure is low:
1 - measure the water flow per minute at two to three different taps in and around the house. Measure one tap then also open multiple taps to see if the waterflow rate per minute stays the same.
2 - once you have determined the waterflow per minute you choose the size geyser according to that.

Example: If you get around 10L per minute then you install a 9L zero start unit. Do not install an over-sized geyser as it will over-heat and shut down.

Available in the following sizes: 9L, 12L, 14L & 18L

Constant Temperature Geyser

This unit can be installed inside (needs to be flued to the outside) or can also be installed outside under protective cover. This unit is fitted with a flue sensor mounted on the flue diverter. The function of this sensor is to shut the unit down within 4 minutes by law if the flue is blocked or the flue is not fitted.

How it works:

- The constant temperature geyser has a two way proportional valve that can regulate the gas/water ratio, adjusting the gas volume. It therefore can operate with a low water flow minimum of 5L per minute.
- The geyser has a temperature adjusting panel on the front cover for easy setting of the required temperature
- Ignition is through Type D torch batteries
- Open hot water tap - the water pressure pushes the light weight magnetic floater up (same as the zero start geyser) activates the geyser by signalling to the electronic box that there is spark and that the gas solenoid valve must open the gas to the main burners.
- The water will the heat up through the heat exchanger to your desired temperature. (as set on display)
- The proportional valve will then regulate the gas/water ratio to the keep the water at the constant temperature.
- The proportional valve ensures optimum performance at reduced LPG usage.

Only available in 16L, 12L to follow soon

Type D - Fan Forced Geyser

This unit is the most powerful of the different geyser types. The Type D fan forced units are for outdoor installation only. This unit requires 220v for the fan, the plug point needs to be 1.5m away from the geyser. No power...... no hot water!!

Key Features:

- This unit comes with a keypad for easy setting of the required water temperature
- You can do additional keypads on one geyser
- Fan assisted - the fan assists by sucking out the burnt gas for cleaner combustion, therefore increases the energy output of the burners resulting in much lighter gas consumption.
- No need for a flue as it comes with a vented slot on the front cover.
- Very low on gas consumption
- Electric impulse ignition, ensures stable and fast ignition
- Constant temperature control as this unit is equipped with a proportional valve
- Low starting water pressure (100kpa)
- High power unit with considerable strong water output that can supply multiple water outlet points

Available in the following sizes: 12L, 20L & 28L
