• GEYSERWISE FLA-K Kwikot Flange & Sensor Tube for PTC Element & Kwikot Geyser, 5-Hole, Stainless Steel

**Please note that some of the B-graded 200L geysers came out with a 6 Hole flange, but since January 2020 all 200L geysers are designed with the 5 Hole flange.GeyserWise has designed an immersion heater element that offers inherent safety and improved functionality over typical resistance-wire heaters. The heating element makes use of Positive Thermal Coefficient (PTC) chips as the heat source Heating elements made with PTC chips do not use resistance wire as a source of heat. PTC heating elements are ceramic chips that have self-limiting temperature characteristics. As the PTC chips heat up it reaches a designed temperature at which the heat output decreases substantially and stops it from getting hotter. As ambient temperature increases and less heat is lost the resistance of the element will increase culminating in a near-zero current draw at its designated temperature. The dynamic resistance and output of PTC heaters makes them an excellent choice for providing controlled electric heating. In many applications, it is possible to do away entirely with thermostatic controls. Simplification of design and reduced energy consumption represent significant cost savings for a given application. The removal of failure-prone components such as thermostats can also add significantly to the reliability of a product. Safety is an added benefit, since no matter how much current is applied to the PTC; it will never surpass its intended surface temperature.Based in Cape Town & started in 2004 by Meinhard Fourie, Geyserwise found a need in the market for measuring, managing and minimising electrical consumption of the everyday residential electric geyser. An electric geyser represents about 40% of the power consumption of an average South African household: Geyserwise products enable tangible savings of hundreds of rands every month. Geyserwise products can also optimise the operation of solar geysers. All products are designed and manufactured in South Africa using durable materials.
