R5700,00 Inc. Vat.
Suitable for 1 to 2 people. This size is typically ideal for small households or apartments with lower hot water demands. Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and individual circumstances can vary. It’s also a good idea to consult with a professional plumber or geyser installer to determine the most suitable size for your needs. Please note these prices does not include installation, the Geyserwise TSE controller or a Hot Water Booster Pump.
In a low-pressure solar water heating system glass tubes are positioned on the roof or at an elevated point and are directly connected to an integrated water geyser tank. When sunlight hits the vacuum tubes, they absorb the heat and transfer it directly to the water within them. As the water in the glass tubes heats up, it becomes less dense and naturally rises into the geyser tank, which is typically placed above the glass tubes. This creates a continuous thermosiphon-driven circulation where hot water enters the tank, displacing cooler water that flows back down into the glass tubes. The system operates solely on gravity and the thermosiphon effect, eliminating the need for a circulation pump, making it a straightforward and energy-efficient means of harnessing solar energy to provide a consistent supply of hot water.
The pressure in a low-pressure system primarily relies on the force created by the natural thermosiphon effect and gravity. The height differential between the water tap and the geyser tank plays a significant role in determining the pressure. The greater the height difference, the higher the potential pressure.
In most cases, the water pressure generated by a low-pressure solar water heating system is suitable for basic domestic use, such as filling a bath and handwashing. However, it may not be sufficient for applications that require high water pressure, such as operating certain types of high-pressure showers and appliances.
A backup heating element and thermostat can be seamlessly integrated into our solar geyser systems to ensure a continuous supply of hot water, even during rainy or cloudy days. Controlled by the Geyserwise TSE controller, this intelligent system monitors the water temperature and automatically activates the backup heating element when necessary. This feature guarantees that you’ll have access to hot water regardless of weather conditions, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of your solar geyser, making it a reliable and energy-efficient solution for your hot water needs.
A hot water booster pump can be added to our low pressure system to further enhance water pressure. This device, when integrated into our systems, operates by automatically activating when pressure drops below a predefined level, often occurring during simultaneous hot water demand. Installed after the geyser, the booster pump effectively increases hot water pressure to achieve the desired temperature and pressure. This integration ensures a consistent and robust flow of hot water to various fixtures and appliances, improving overall comfort and performance. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to emphasize that the correct sizing, proper installation, and regular maintenance are essential to avoid over-pressurization and ensure the booster pump’s efficient operation within our systems.
