DeepBass9 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Does anyone know who supplies a 50l or 80l low pressure EV geyser? I need one for the kitchen basin, but no luck in finding one. I have seen them, advertised from time to time. Joburg or west rand preferably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverNodashi Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 @PaulF007 Did you use the SR609C geyser controller as well? If so, what did you use to connect the controller to your geyser element? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulF007 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi @SilverNodashi The controller it self has a place where you connect the geaser to it and the it self connect to a socket in the house. There is a lekker LONG cable supplied with the controller that gets connected to the temp an level probe of the controller, Remember that the element supplied is only 1.5 kw so a normal socket should word ok.

Ok, let me ask you differently, which geyser element do you have? The screw in one with the two screws to attach wires, or the smaller one with the two push in terminals?

PaulF007 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 LOL let me answer you differently , it is the one that I got with the geaser. BUT it was a screw in one. I bought the whole kit from them. It seemed like a stock standard element to me at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have a Kwikot element, which has push in terminals, instead of screw terminals. i.e. like this: http://www.appliancespares.co.za/Images/Products/28105.jpg and https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTV70pYjl9i8nR9-N6_8t7FIcjT6l4EWVQ6y--dGygVO_Sh0FCc I am not very fond of just pushing terminals in there, but it seems that's the only way?

PaulF007 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Personally I also prefer the screw in ones. But you have to make do with what you have .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so I'm getting an adapter from Geyserwise that will fit in there. Will see how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the low pressure one? Is the Low Pressure one still rated at 400KPA? Edited July 16, 2019 by d3nominat0r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulF007 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 @d3nominat0r - so far so good. Cant complain but keep in mind that the Geyser can not handle any pressure. 400KPA will pop it like a baloon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepBass9 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) No, a low pressure geyser is essentially under no pressure as it is open via a vent pipe on top. It works in the same was as a toilet cistern, with a valve to top it up again when the water level drops. The water runs out under gravity, compared to a high pressure system which is at the same pressure as the water inlet and the water pushes through.
