Eskom’s woes making solar heating more attractive
With more and more of Eskom’s troubles coming to light and the risk of load shedding expected well into the new year and beyond, many people are starting to turn to “free” solar energy, both for power and for heating.
South Africa with its abundance of sunshine should be in an ideal position to utilise the suns UV rays but we also have vast areas that are affected by Hard Water. This “Hard Water” is comprised of calcium and magnesium leached from our bedrock offering us a water supply with mineral rich water. But wait a minute – we need minerals to lead a health life and most of us take supplements to boost our mineral intake, what if we could keep the healthy minerals in our water and just take away the scale – sounds like a win/win situation.
We’ll by going back to nature and utilising the natural process of electrophoresis via capacitive impulse technology we can achieve just this. We can stop the build-up of scale encrustations keeping the heat transfer surfaces of the geysers free of build-up and working to their optimum. This would relate to a financial saving of up to 15% before labour costs – see www.amanzirms.co.za/cwt-technology
Capacitive impulse protection
1mm relates to 15% loss of hea0ng efficiency
And what is more important, one of these capacitive impulse units can protect your whole house – pipe work, fittings, fixtures and appliances without loading your domestic water with chemicals, salts or acids.
We must also remember that our municipal water, while clean when leaving the treatment works flow through hundreds of kilometres of decaying municipal mains, many of which are two or three times past their replacement time. This means that the water delivered to you have suspended solids in its flow that will block your bath/shower/basin mixers, washing machines and every other appliance using water. Counter this problem by installing a self-cleaning grit removal filter by Judo to remove the suspended solids floating in your water before they enter your premises, giving you protection all the way down to 100 micron, about the size of a human hair and avoid annoying and costly appliance and pipework failure.
