Standard or manual gas geysers
These types of gas geysers are the most basic and traditional type of gas water heater and range from 6 litres to 20 litres per a minute.
They use a manual control system to regulate the temperature of the water. The user will need to manually adjust the temperature setting as needed.
These types of gas geysers are typically less expensive than other types but may require more frequent adjustments to maintain a consistent water temperature.
Pros and cons of standard gas geysers:
Pros:
- Cost-effective water heating solution
- Easy to operate
- Can be set to different water temperatures for winter and summer
Cons:
- Cannot provide hot water to multiple taps simultaneously
- Cannot be set to a specific temperature
- May not be able to supply hot water to upstairs areas due to water pressure limitations
- May require a weather cover for outdoor installation
- Must be installed with a flue pipe for proper flue extraction
- Sensitive to water pressure fluctuations, which can affect the consistency of the water temperature.
Overall, standard gas geysers can be a cost-effective option for households with relatively low hot water demand. However, they may not be the most suitable choice for larger households or for those who require a consistent water temperature and high hot water flow rate.
Constant temperature gas geysers
This unit uses a thermostat to automatically maintain a consistent water temperature flow. The water temperature remains constant and does not fluctuate like it can with standard or manuel water heaters. It can provide a more comfortable and consistent showering experience for the user. The unit has a higher effeciantcy rating as they dont need to be constantly adjusted.
Heres some points to consider:
- Energy efficiency: Constant water heaters only heat water when it is needed, which can save energy and reduce monthly utility bills.
- Compact size: Constant water heaters are smaller in size compared to traditional tank-style water heaters, making them a good choice for small homes or apartments with limited space.
- Multiple units may be needed: If you have a high hot water demand, you may need to install multiple constant water heaters to meet your needs.
Overall, constant water heaters can be a suitable option for a single bathroom , Building extensions , domestic room, outside shower etc
Forced fan gas geysers
A gas fan forced water heater is a type of gas water heater that uses a fan to force hot air into a heating chamber which allows for faster hot water delivery.
They are typically more expensive than other types of gas geysers but may be a good choice for households with a high hot water demand.
This type of water heater has several benefits, including:
- High efficiency: Gas fan forced water heaters are very gas efficient, as the fan helps to evenly distribute heat throughout the heating chamber. This means that less gas is needed to heat the water to the desired temperature.
- Precise temperature control: With a gas fan forced water heater, you can precisely set the water temperature to your desired level. This is not possible with some other types of water heaters, which may not have a temperature control dial.
- Not sensitive to water pressure: Gas fan forced water heaters are not sensitive to fluctuating water pressure, which means that you can expect consistent hot water at the set tempreture regardless of the pressure in your water line.
- Long warranty: Many gas fan forced water heaters come with a warranty, which can provide peace of mind and protection against any potential defects or issues with the unit.
- Able to provide hot water to multiple points or to an upstairs bathroom.
- Can be connected to a solar water system as an alernative on those cloudy days. The unit will turn on if it detects the current flow of water has dropped below a set tempreture.This ensures a constant delivery of hot water.
- Gas fan forced water heaters do not require a flue pipe, which means that they can be installed in a wider range of locations.
However, there are also some downsides to consider:
- Require an electrical connection to power the computer, 12 volt fan and the igniters. We sell battery ups systems so you not affected during loadshedding
- Typically the most expensive type of gas water heater, so they may not be a feasible option for everyone.
