Who may install or replace a geyser?
Fixed electric geysers must be installed according to SANS 10254 and the plumbing must be signed off by a registered plumber, who issues a certificate of compliance. Many insurers will only pay a geyser claim if the installation complies, so use a registered plumber.
Solar geyser or heat pump - which is better?
Both cut electricity use for hot water. A solar geyser uses free sunshine and works well in the sunny Western Cape, while a heat pump uses a small amount of electricity to heat water efficiently day or night and needs less roof space. For new homes, SANS 10400-XA requires at least half of hot water to come from something other than electric resistance heating.
Can I reuse grey water in the garden?
Grey water from showers, baths and washing machines can be used to water the garden if you follow your municipality's guidelines - use it soon after collection, avoid water with harsh chemicals, and do not let it pool or run onto neighbouring properties. Toilet (black) water must always go to the sewer or septic system.
What causes low water pressure in a house?
Common causes are a partly closed stopcock, a blocked filter or aerator, old corroded galvanised pipes, a faulty pressure-reducing valve, or a geyser problem. In some towns low municipal pressure is the cause, and a booster pump can help.
