Installations of high pressure, 5yr warranty, Kwikot geysers of the best quality, call us for a price to supply and install 50L, 100L, 150L, 200L and 250L geysers.
Installation
The Kwikot Superline Dual Geysers must be installed in compliance with SANS 10254 Installation and Maintenance of Electric Storage Water Heaters, with a Temperature & Pressure Valve (Safety Valve), Drain Cock (both supplied with the water heater), Pressure Control Valve, Drip Tray and Vacuum Breakers.

The maximum wall mount geyser capacity is 200 litres, providing that the reliability and strength of the wall is determined beforehand by a qualified construction person.In a horizontal wall mounting installation, the brackets (feet) need to be moved by 90˚ to the alternative holes in the outer casement. In a vertical wall mounting installation, the brackets (feet) are not moved to the alternative holes in the outer casement. The following minimum installation clearance must be allowed for on each side in the event of having to remove the element, thermostat or the anode: 50lt – 400mm, 100lt – 600mm, 200lt – 1000mm and 250lt – 1200mm.
Warranty
The period of warranty is from the date of installation providing that documentation of proof of installation is furnished, or alternatively from date of manufacture as determined from the serial plate on the end dome.
• Kwikot Superline Dual : Five Years on the inner cylinder.
The above warranty is subject to only genuine Kwikot replacement parts (spiral element and thermostat etc) been used whilst the inner cylinder is still under warranty and is subject to water conditions equivalent to main Metropolitan supply authorities.

Solar Geysers
Solar geysers rely on the basic principle of using the suns energy to heat water. Using solar energy to heat water is an effective way to use South Africa’s abundant sunshine, save energy, save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, it has been estimated that by using one at home, water heating costs should decrease by 50%–80%. This is a massive saving for the average person. Also, its free energy so you’re safe if Eskoms decides to increase the electricity prices or implement load shedding.
Benefits of Solar Geysers
• Investment Payback Period is short.
• Protection from power failures and increased electricity tariffs.
• Solar energy is free. Water heating will be free.
• Furthermore a nice boost in your property value.
• Save the environment with clean energy usage.
• Start saving money on water heating from day one.
• Reduce water heating by as much as 40% monthly.
• Maintenance & servicing is generally very low.
• SABS approved with a 5-year guarantee.
Direct System 200lt – Frost & Frost Free – w/ 20 Tubes
Direct System 150lt – Frost & Frost Free – w/ 15 Tubes
Inland and Coastal Areas
This direct system can be used in frost and frost-free locations and where the water quality is good (less than 600ppm Total Dissolved Solids/Minerals).
The direct system, is where the water to be used in the household (hot water) circulates through the solar vacuum tubes manifold, transferring solar energy into the storage tank of the solar water heater.
This direct system is installed as a Close Coupled System (thermosyphon circulation), where the solar water heater is installed outside on the roof and above the solar vacuum tubes.
- Direct System 150lt – Frost Free – w/ 1 Panel
- Direct System 200lt – Frost Free – w/ 1 Panel
- Direct System 300lt – Frost Free – w/ 2 Panels
Coastal Areas
The direct system is used in frost-free locations, where the ambient temperature never falls below 5°C and where the water quality is good (less than 600ppm Total Dissolved Solids/Minerals). The system is used with one or two Solar Collector Panels dependent on the capacity of the Solar tank.
The direct system, is where the water to be used in the household (hot water) circulates through the solar collector panels, transferring solar energy into the storage tank of the solar water heater.
The direct system can be installed as a Split System (pumped or thermosyphoned circulation methods), where the solar water heater is installed inside the roof or away from the solar collector panels or installed as a Close Coupled System (thermosyphon circulation), where the solar water heater is installed outside on the roof and above or higher than the solar collector panels (see section Circulation Methods).
- Indirect System 150lt – Frost – w/ 1 Panel
- Indirect System 200lt – Frost – w/ 1 Panel
- Indirect System 300lt – Frost – w/ 2 Panels
Inland Areas
The indirect system is used in locations where frost occurs, where the ambient temperature falls below 5°C and where the water quality is poor (more than 600ppm Total Dissolved Solids / Minerals). The system can be used with one or two Solar Collector Panels dependent on the capacity of the solar tank.
An indirect system is where the potable water used in the household (hot water) does not circulate through the solar collector panels, but remains in the solar water heater and is heated through a heat exchanger around the vessel. Propylene glycol is circulated through the solar collector panels, transferring solar energy into the heat exchanger and in turn heating the water in the solar water heater.
Flat Plates / Panels or Evacuated Tubes?
Generally, evacuated tubes perform better in colder and/or cloudier conditions than their flat panel counterparts. This is because of the vacuum in the glass tube, which allows tube collectors to retain a high percentage of collected heat. They work well in freezing conditions where flat panels will not work. Evacuated Tubes are not only more efficient, but also more durable and cheaper to repair should there be accidental damage.
Evacuated Tube Collector Based Systems
Evacuation tube systems are superior as they can extract the heat out of the air on a humid day and don’t need direct sunlight. Due to the vacuum inside the glass tube, the total efficiency in all areas is higher. There’s also better performance when the sun is not at an optimum angle. This could include times such as when it’s early in the morning or in the late afternoon.
- Capture sunlight better as they have a greater surface area exposed to the sun at any time
- Are more efficient in transferring heat – up to 163% demonstrated in Australian conditions!
- Can work in subzero temperatures
- Are durable and if a tube breaks, it can be easily and cheaply replaced.
- Provide excellent performance in overcast conditions
- Require a smaller roof area than comparable flat plate collectors
- Do not have the same level of corrosion problems as flat plate collectors

Flat Plate Solar Collectors
Flat plate collectors work on copper pipes running through a glass covered collector, often connecting to a water storage tank on the roof. The sun heats the copper pipes and the resulting hot water is thermo-siphoned out of storage tank.
