In these cash strapped times any way that homeowners can save money of their monthly bills will be welcomed. One of the easiest ways to make your cash go further is to improve the efficiency of your home geyser. There are a number of manufacturers, including Kwikot Geysers that manufacture geysers that are designed to use less electricity than traditional models but still make hot water available at the turn of a tap.
Any homeowner who chooses to purchase one of these highly effective geysers will also be able to enjoy a rebate from Eskom that rewards the homeowner for their decision to purchase a high efficiency geyser solution. The geysers that qualify for Eskom rebates are powered by solar energy and place much less strain on the national electricity grid. By relying on solar power these geysers can save the homeowner significant amounts of money on their monthly electricity bill.
These Kwikot geysers can be installed in most locations in South Africa where the water quality is food. They are not suitable for areas where the mains water supply contains more than 600ppm of total dissolved solids or minerals. If your home relies of water supplied via a borehole you will need to contact Kwikot to find out whether one of these low pressure solar powered geysers can be used. If you have a solar geyser already fitted Kwikot can also supply any spares that you require, such as vacuum tubes to keep the solar geyser up and running.
By fitting a water heater that relies on solar power to heat water for household use, the homeowner is not only protecting his wallet, but also protecting the environment as well. The less electricity homes use to heat water in geysers the less coal that is consumed in South Africa. Coal is a non renewable resource that is highly polluting and by fitting a solar geyser the homeowner is going beyond the call of duty to protect this country’s precious flora and fauna.
Aside from reducing the amount of coal used in South Africa a Kwikot geyser will also reduce the amount of harmful emissions that are produced by coal fired power stations. The effects of burning coal can be seen during winter months when a haze hangs over many of the cities in South Africa. For this reason the solar powered geysers supplied by Kwikot are not only kinder to the natural environment but also kinder to the lungs of the many people in South Africa who live in the urban areas of the country.

Kwikot also supplies a number of other types of plumbing solutions and geysers that are suitable for use in most homes.

These heaters can stand up to anything that the South African climate can throw at them. These Kwikot geysers can also be fitted with elements that make then resistant to the effects of operating in environments where hard water can affect the performance of other types of water heaters.
