Stop Running the Tap: Why a Mini Geyser Makes Sense

How the Parisi Mini Geyser helps South African homes and businesses save water and get hot water where they need it.

By E-Boil Systems| About a four-minute read

The Parisi Mini Geyser sits under the sink and heats water where it is actually used.

You turn on the hot tap to wash a few dishes, rinse some vegetables or wash your hands. Then you wait. And wait a little longer.

By the time the water is warm, a fair amount has already gone down the drain.

It might not seem like much, but think about how often this happens throughout the day. In a busy household, a guesthouse or a commercial kitchen, those few seconds quickly add up.

With summer approaching, it is a good time to look at the little things we can do to use water more wisely. One practical place to start is with how hot water reaches your tap.

Why you waste water waiting for hot water

In many South African homes and commercial buildings, a central geyser supplies hot water to taps throughout the property. The problem is that water sitting in the pipes cools down between uses.

When you open the hot tap, that cooled water needs to clear the pipe before the hot water arrives. The further the tap is from the main geyser, the longer you may have to wait.

The simple solution: heat water where you use it

A point-of-use water heater heats water right next to the tap, so it no longer has to travel all the way from a central geyser.

Installed beneath the sink, close to the tap it serves.

The Parisi Mini Geyser is a compact 10-litre unit that installs beneath the sink, with only a short length of pipe between it and the tap.

That means less waiting at the tap and less water wasted before you can get on with what you were doing.

5 reasons to install a mini geyser before summer

South Africans know that summer often means more pressure on water supplies, particularly in areas that experience dry spells or water restrictions. While a mini geyser is not a solution to every water challenge, it can help reduce one small but repeated source of waste.

1. Waste less water while waiting for hot water

The saving happens every time the tap is used, so it grows quickly in a busy household or business. How much you save depends on your pipework, how far the tap is from the main geyser and how often it is used.

2. Get hot water where you need it

Not every sink needs to rely on a geyser on the other side of the building.

Whether it is one awkward basin or a staff kitchen in constant use, a mini geyser gives that tap its own hot water supply.

3. Make better use of space

The unit stays out of sight in the cupboard, so it takes up no living or working space. That makes it a good fit for renovations, new installations and spots where extending existing pipework would be difficult or disruptive.

4. Get control over your hot water temperature

Set the temperature to suit the job.

The Parisi Mini Geyser has an adjustable temperature setting, with a rated maximum of 75°C. This allows the temperature to be set according to the intended use and installation requirements.

It also includes built-in safety features, including anti-scald protection and a thermal cut-out. As with any hot water system, correct installation and appropriate temperature settings are important, particularly in homes with children.

5. Consider energy use as well as water use

A conventional geyser stores a larger volume of hot water, while a mini geyser heats a smaller volume close to the tap it serves.

Depending on usage patterns and the existing hot water system, this can help reduce unnecessary heating and heat loss. Actual electricity savings vary with the installation, temperature settings and how much hot water is used.

Where does a mini geyser make the most sense?

Common applications include:

> Homes and apartments: Kitchen sinks, bathroom basins and other taps that take too long to deliver hot water.

> Guesthouses and hotels: Guest bathrooms, staff kitchens and basins that see frequent use.

> Salons and gyms: Handwashing stations and sinks used throughout the working day.

> Schools and hospitals: Washbasins where repeated water use can make the time spent waiting for hot water significant.

> Commercial buildings: Staff kitchens, preparation sinks and other areas that need a convenient hot water supply.

Small changes can make a difference

Saving water does not always require a major renovation or a complete change in routine. Sometimes, it starts with looking at everyday habits and finding a more practical way to do things.

If you regularly find yourself waiting for hot water at a kitchen sink, bathroom basin or staff washroom, a mini geyser is a simple fix to put in before summer arrives.
