SilverNodashi Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hi, I have some new, unused 1.5Kw and 2Kw geyser elements for sale if anyone is interested. These are 1" BSP type screw-in geyser elements. 1500W: R250 2000W: R100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Im looking for a 600w or close to... element for my solar geyser. Any ideas appreciated.Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
___ Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Run the existing one (probably a 2kw) at 120V. Should bring it down to around 500W (one quarter, power is square of the voltage for resistive elements). Of course that will require a rather large transformer, will cost a pretty penny, but it might be easier to find :-) Eg http://www.communica.co.za/Catalog/Details/P1619671527 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local electrical hardware store has them on the books and would have to order. Try Tesca Reco in North End near the Stadium.

GreenMan Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I got a 2kW (bolt on type) element from Builders Warehouse a year or two ago - for Builder Warehouse brand geyser. I see they are still available - Buy Geyser Element 2kw Spiral WP | Builders They also have the screw in 2kW version - Buy Geyser Element 2kw Boss WP | Builders If you are going to do this, check the sacrificial anode and change it at the same time. On mine i also changed the gasket between element and geyser. It is great having less load on the inverter albeit that it takes longer to heat the water.
