Help Future Generations

Future generations Saving water is an excellent way to show that you care and are willing to do your little bit to help. Whether you store just a small amount to reduce your use of the municipal supply or get off the grid completely, it will be beneficial for the entire community and for future generations.

The more we can save now the more there will be for our children. Saving water now will also teach our children to save and we can create a water wise generation for the future.

Keep on saving, even when it's raining.

Solar Geyser Power

Solar Geysers

Use Free Energy

As with a conventional geyser, the hot water storage container in a solar geyser is thermally insulated to retain heat.

Solar geysers are usually larger than electric geysers and better insulated. This allows you to maximise your solar gains.

Solar geysers can be linked to existing geysers or can completely replace them. The system can be installed on top of a roof if the structure is strong enough.

The water storage container can be placed elsewhere, for example, inside the roof or a cupboard, but the collector must be where sunlight can reach it.

Solar geysers mounted on or in the roof are usually placed horizontally, but for better thermal stratification, they should be mounted vertically. Your roofing structure must be checked to see whether it can support the weight of the storage container and collector.

As the price for energy increases, savvy homeowners should ensure that their homes are not completely reliant on the mainstream power grid.

By reducing your electricity dependence on the grid, you become part of a more sustainable and responsible global community of homeowners and enjoy significant electricity & cost savings at the same time.

Solar Energy and Solar Geysers

Solar Geysers ~ basic information

Solar Energy

In this sunny country, solar energy is an abundant source of renewable energy, making it an obvious choice when seeking alternative sources of energy.

Solar water heating & how a Solar Geyser works

Solar geysers are built on two basic principles of physics: dark coloured objects absorb heat, and hot water rises.

Unlike other systems that can be very complex, a solar geyser is simple, as water is the only moving part. This is a big advantage in terms of reliability and maintenance costs.

A typical Solar Geyser system has three major components:

  • a solar collector,
  • a transfer medium and
  • a storage container.

The solar collector absorbs solar radiation and transfers the energy, using heat, to the fluid inside the collector.

In the solar geyser, this fluid is the transfer medium.

In a direct system, the transfer medium is the potable water from the storage container.

In an indirect system, the transfer fluid is generally a mix of water and glycol, which passes the energy to the storage container via an isolating heat exchanger.

In areas in South Africa where temperatures drop to below freezing (4°C), an indirect system is recommended.

As the price for energy increases, savvy homeowners should ensure that their homes are not completely reliant on the mainstream power grid.

By reducing your electricity dependence on the grid, you become part of a more sustainable and responsible global community of homeowners and enjoy significant electricity & cost savings at the same time.

Solar Water Heating

Solar water heating

Solar water heating is gaining popularity all over the world due to the many benefits it offers and because it is relatively inexpensive and easy to install.

There are many areas in a normal home that can benefit from solar power and one in particular is the heating of water as this is the biggest household electricity consumer.

So if you can harness the energy from the suns rays to assist your home’s geyser to heat up the water you will not only be saving electricity but also reducing your dependence on the grid and helping reduce our need for fossil fuel energy.

As the price for energy increases, savvy homeowners should ensure that their homes are not completely reliant on the mainstream power grid.

By reducing your electricity dependence on the grid, you become part of a more sustainable and responsible global community of homeowners and enjoy significant electricity & cost savings at the same time.
