Low Pressure Geyser

A low pressure geyser is a unit that does not require pressure to engage the ignition system, this type of unit works with a two part water flow sensor (float and Paddle wheel) that will immediately ignite the Burner when it detects water flow…

How it Works:

  • Ignition is powered by means of 2 type D Batteries (3v system)
  • Once you open your hot water tap and the water starts running, the two-part water flow sensor detects the flow and completes a circuit which engages the ignitors.
  • If the circuit is complete and the control box does not pick up a break in the circuit the solenoid(s) will engage allowing the gas to pass and ignition takes place…
  • Seconds later you have instant hot water on demand.

How do I know what Size geyser to Buy?

  • To make sure you will have the best experience with a gas Geyser a little bit of compromise is needed!….Remember…a gas geyser does not store water, a gas geyser heats water on demand, what does this mean?
  • Many feel that bigger is better, although with a gas geyser that’s not the case…you need to position the geyser as close as legally required to your outlet…and at times this means that you would need to get 2 or more smaller geysers, rather than one large one.

So how do you know which size geyser to get then?

THE BUCKET TEST!!!

HOW DO YOU DO IT?

  • Simply take a bucket place it at the water outlet and open the tap…
  • Time 15seconds
  • Close the tap
  • Measure the liters caught in 15 seconds and multiply by 4.

Example:

2L caught in 15 seconds = 2L x 4 = 8L

Therefore you will require a 8L geyser will be sufficient, but you can go up to a 10L geyser
