The geyserwise remote control unit is a device that is used to control a geyser in an efficient way as well as detect any problems in your hot water system.  a lot of money can be saved by seeing problems in your hot water system early.  This device replaces your geysers existing analogue thermostat and controls your geyser in an efficient way.  Anyone with a geyser can reduce their carbon footprint this way and even move their electrical usage to an off-peak time period, which is offcourse cheaper.  This unit also detects hot water pipe leaks early and scale build up, and prevents your geyser from overheating!  Many insurance claims are for burst geysers!  This unit can also easily be transferred to a new premises, and it an later be upgraded to our full solar system too, click here to read about the full system SolarHeating .   Anyone with a geyser, can fit this unit and start saving immediately.

How does a Solar Geyser work?

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Solar geysers use solar radiation (heat from the sun) to create energy, which is then converted into electricity.  We put vacuum tubes on the roof and these heat up really quickly and this then heats up your water and returns it to your geyser.  We also fit a geyserwise unit in which regulates your geyser, so that the temperature is controlled and so that the geyser works optimally.  This way you should have hot water most times, when you live in a sunny country like we do.  Most solar units do come with a back up electric element which can be used on overcast days.  The perfect use of it therefore would be to take your baths in the night time because you would have all that spare energy that the solar system collected during the day.  The life span of a solar system is about 10 to 20 years. if you want to see more, visit http://www.geysersmart.co.za/products/solarheating
