The gas burner ignites, and the heat exchanger warms the flowing water. A gas water tank heater works by heating water and storing it until its needed.<\/p>\n<p>The gas burner will automatically ignite when needed to maintain the heat of the stored water. Most units come with adjustable thermostats to set the water temperature. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestainable.co.za\/product-category\/gas\/gas-geysers\/\">Gas geysers<\/a> are simple to install and operate and are not expensive to maintain, but at the same time it is not the type of product to buy \u2018off-the-shelf\u2019 without doing proper homework before buying. Several factors will influence the type and size of a geyser which will best suit your needs.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main types of gas geysers available in South Africa \u2013 standard gas geysers and advanced gas geysers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Standard Gas Geysers have the following advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Affordably priced<\/li>\n<li>Battery operated.<\/li>\n<li>Simple to operate and maintain. Most of these geysers offer \u2018summer\u2019 and \u2018winter\u2019 temperature controls, and a water inlet control.<\/li>\n<li>Standard gas geysers come with a warranty, provided they are installed by a registered and qualified gas installer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages of Standard Gas Geysers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Standard gas geysers cannot effectively supply sufficient hot water to multiple hot taps simultaneously. In homes with two or more bathrooms, you will ideally need a medium capacity standard gas geyser per bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>Standard geysers are limited in the distance they can supply hot water \u2013 approximately 8 m to 10 m, hence not recommended for double storey homes, unless the bathrooms and kitchen are all on the ground floor.<\/p>\n<p>Standard gas geysers are sensitive to fluctuating water pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Standard gas geysers must be protected from prevailing winds and rain and must have a weather cover and flue pipe fitted at extra costs.<\/p>\n<p>Larger standard gas geysers will use more gas than a smaller size, but this is balanced out by the fact that larger geysers will fill a bath faster and therefore does not have to operate as long as there is a smaller one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of Advanced Gas Geysers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Advanced gas geysers are more gas efficient.<\/li>\n<li>Water temperature can be pre-programmed.<\/li>\n<li>Can operate under low water pressure conditions of 1.5 bar.<\/li>\n<li>Fluctuating incoming water pressure is automatically stabilised.<\/li>\n<li>Electronic systems ensure sufficient water pressure and temperature for up to 6 taps operating simultaneously.<\/li>\n<li>Outdoor installed advanced gas geysers do not require additional protection from wind or rain, or flue pipes.<\/li>\n<li>Some gas geysers have temperature sensors in their water inlet pipes, allowing them to be connected directly to an existing solar system as a back-up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Don\u2019t miss out!! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestainable.co.za\/product-category\/eco-hot-water\/\">View the special for Geyserwise<\/a> products)<\/p>\n<p>(You might also be interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestainable.co.za\/product-category\/water-filtration\/\">Water Filter<\/a> Systems)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages of Advanced Gas Geysers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Advanced gas geysers cost between two to three times than that of a standard gas geyser.<\/p>\n<p>Advanced gas geysers must have an electrical connection (220v) to be able to ignite and to operate their electronic control systems.<\/p>\n<p>Advanced gas geysers can be run on generator power, however protection against power surges must be installed to prevent damage to the geyser\u2019s electronic operating systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Servicing of Gas Geysers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Advanced gas geysers must be serviced at least every 6-8 months while standard ones should be serviced at least once a year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_101133\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101133\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/?attachment_id=101133\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt width=\"780\" height=\"470\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" class=\"wp-image-101133 size-full lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gas-geysers-what-you-need-to-know.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-101133 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/gas-geysers-what-you-need-to-know.jpg\" alt width=\"780\" height=\"470\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-101133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gas Geysers from Livestainable.
