📋 The Bucket Test: Essential for Battery-Operated Units
Since battery operated gas geysers cannot automatically control flow, you must perform the bucket test to measure your actual flow rate. This is the only reliable way to ensure you choose a unit that won't overheat or shut off during use.

Run hot water from your chosen tap
Time for 60 seconds exactly
Measure volume (L/min)
⚠️ Test at the tap requiring the most hot water (shower or bath). This ensures you don't oversized your unit unnecessarily or undersized it for comfort.

Running Out of Hot Water? Paloma Fan-Forced Boosters to the Rescue
When Do You Need a Booster?
❄️ Bad Weather
Cold, rainy days mean your geyser has to work harder to heat from frigid council water. A Paloma booster steps in to provide instant, consistent hot water even when temperatures drop.
🚿 High Usage Periods
Multiple showers running simultaneously, back-to-back bath fills, or guests in the house? Your existing system gets overwhelmed. A Paloma booster ensures every tap gets hot water without compromise.
🔋 Dead or Weak Batteries
Battery-operated units lose power after continuous use or in high-demand situations. A Paloma booster provides gas-powered backup so you never face cold showers due to battery failure.
How Paloma Booster Works
Parallel Installation
We install the Paloma alongside your existing unit, not replacing it.
Automatic Activation
When demand exceeds what your primary unit can supply, or if battery power drops, Paloma fires up automatically.
Perfect Temperature
Smart modulation ensures your set temperature, every time.
Peace of Mind
Never run out of hot water again, regardless of season, demand, or battery status.
