You still need a geyser if you have a heat pump. The heat pump is not an instantaneous water heater. The geyser becomes a storage vessel and a back-up heat source should the heat pump fail.

The heat pump should be serviced yearly by a heat pump technician to increase its lifespan. Re-gassing of a heat pump is a common maintenance requirement.

If your heat pump is older than 2 years and out of warranty you can call Kwikot who will assess the extent of the repairs and issue a quote for the repairs.

A beeping alarm in a heat pump indicates an error has occurred. This error will not clear itself and the machine requires attention. The error code will be displayed on the control panel and the diagnostics of the codes is in the manual or on the back of the electrical control box cover.

The warranty on the entire machine is for 2 years from date of installation, or from the date of manufacture if no proof of installation date can be provided.

Direct System: the potable water in the geyser is directly heated by the solar collector. Indirect System: the potable water is stored in ann inner tank with an outer tank surrounding the inner tank known as a jacket. The jacket is filled with a mixture of propylene glycol and water, which is heated by

When a solar geyser is installed at a higher plane than the solar collector it's known as a coupled thermosyphon system. The basic principles of physics come into play where a liquid is heated it becomes less dense and rises, creating a thermosyphon circulation of the liquid between the solar geyser and the solar

An array of solar vacuum tubes are more efficient than a flat plate solar collector as the tubes are round and the sun rays will start heating the system earlier in the morning. A tube system also allows for the installations to face up to 40°C east or west where the flat panel has

Very little maintenance is needed. The system should be checked for any visible leaks and the solar collector should be kept clean. The heat transfer liquid (dilution of glycol and water) in the Indirect System must be topped up if there has been a leak and then changed every two to three years.
