Geyser Gecko Turn Your Normal Geyser Into Solar Hot Water

Why youll love it

• Slash your bill  cut water-heating costs by up to [6070%] using the sun.*

• Keep hot water ready  smart controller prioritises solar; uses grid only when needed.

• No new tank needed  retrofits to your existing geyser for a faster, cheaper upgrade.

• Load-shedding friendly  pump uses minimal power; add a tiny backup to keep circulating.

• Safer, longer-lasting  anti-scald mixing valve + over-temperature protection.

• Set-and-forget  automatic scheduling, frost/overheat protection, and manual boost.
  *Savings vary by climate, usage and tank size.

How it works (simple)

1. A high-efficiency solar collector warms water using free sunlight.

2. The Geyser Gecko controller and circulation pump move heat into your existing geyser.

3. Built-in logic keeps temperatures ideal and only tops up with electricity when necessary.

FAQs

Will it work with heat-pump or PV later?
Yes the controller can be set to prioritise solar thermal and coordinate with other heat sources.
What about load shedding?
The collector still makes heat. The small pump/controller need minimal power; many users run them from a tiny UPS.
Do I need a new geyser?
No thats the point. As long as your tank meets the checklist, youre good.
How much will I save?
Most households see significant reductions on hot-water costs; exact savings depend on location, usage and seasons.
