I find it difficult to get people to believe in what you do.It is easy to trust a gadget made in china than those made by people we know .We usually more critical of our locally made product than what comes from outside.๐

The units were installed to enable the Mossel Bay Municipality to move a substantial portion of the residential evening peak geyser load to the off-peak period (after 20:00), when there is less strain on the national electricity grid.
As part of the regular and necessary testing requirements before the project starts, the University of Cape Townโs Energy Research Centre will now undertake measurement and verification tests.
According to Mr William Olivier, Manager: Electrical Network Services at Mossel Bay Municipality, the geyser control units in the above areas will be switched off between 18:00 and 20:00 during week, days as part of the measurement and verification process. It will be switched on starting from 20:00, in a staggered way, to prevent a new peak. These tests will start on 2 October.
The municipality requests the public to support this initiative: if you do switch off your geyser manually in the morning and back on after returning from work in the afternoon, switch it on as soon as possible after arriving home to allow the geyser to heat the water for use between 18:00 and 20:00.
If you do switch it on again in the evening, allow some time after 20:00 to heat the replacement hot water.
Enquiries can be directed to the municipality on 044 606 5082/83.
