- In a
conversion system the existing electrical geyser is used and converted by means of a special valve to accommodate circulation
between the geyser and the solar collector.
- We do
not suggest or allow a conversion if the existing geyser is older than 3 years. Eskom do not allow conversions on geysers
older than 3 years.
- The
client does not qualify for an Eskom rebate on a conversion system
- An existing
geyser has only three ports. One for the cold water inlet, one for the TP Valve and one for the hot water to the house. The
JOWI valve is constructed in such a way to ad two more ports for the circulation of cold water to the collector and hot water
from the collector to the geyser.
- This
system still uses a pump (12V DC or 230 AC) to circulate the water from the geyser through the collector manifold back to
the geyser.
- The
geyser stays mounted in the original position unless the owner asks for it to be moved.
- A controller
is used to optimize the performance of the solar system.
- The
controller makes the system freeze resistant and has a build in timer.
- A steam
release valve must be installed at the manifold’s outlet.
A Geyser blanket is essential and must be installed
with this system. A 27.5% saving in standing losses is realized by installing a geyser blanket.
