How Does Aqua Therma’s Solar Geyser Retrofit Work, and What Are Its Benefits?
Aqua Therma’s solar geyser retrofit transforms your existing geyser into an efficient, solar-powered water heating system. Designed with advanced technology, including proprietary cooling mechanisms to prevent overheating, Aqua Therma ensures superior performance, safety, and cost savings. By installing enough evacuated tube collectors (EVTs) to perform optimally in almost all weather conditions, Aqua Therma’s systems deliver 40%-65% savings on overall electricity bills—outperforming competitors.
Here’s how the system works and why it’s a smart investment for your home.
How the Retrofit Works
1. Capturing Solar Energy with Evacuated Tubes (EVTs)
The retrofit begins with the installation of evacuated tube solar collectors, which absorb sunlight and convert it into heat. These tubes are highly efficient and work effectively in varying weather conditions, including overcast days. Aqua Therma ensures your system is sized correctly by installing enough EVTs to handle all typical weather scenarios, providing consistent hot water year-round.
2. Direct Water Heating – No Intermediate Fluid
Unlike traditional systems that use antifreeze or another intermediate fluid, Aqua Therma’s system heats water directly in the tubes. This simplifies the system, improves energy transfer efficiency, and reduces maintenance requirements.
3. Circulating Heated Water into Your Geyser
The heated water is pumped into your existing geyser using a solar PV-powered pump. This pump runs entirely on solar energy, ensuring the system operates sustainably and reduces electricity reliance.
4. Proprietary Cooling Mechanisms to Prevent Overheating
Aqua Therma’s retrofits include proprietary cooling mechanisms that prevent the system from overheating, even during periods of intense sunlight. This feature is unique to Aqua Therma and ensures system safety, extends the lifespan of components, and reduces the risk of damage, which is a common issue in competitors’ systems like Kwikot.
5. Smart Control with AquaTrac
The AquaTrac next-generation smart controller manages the entire system, automating pump activity and ensuring optimal performance. It monitors water temperatures and solar availability, preventing energy waste and maintaining a consistent hot water supply.
Why Aqua Therma Delivers Superior Savings
Competitors often undersize their systems, installing fewer EVTs than needed, which leads to reduced performance, greater reliance on electricity for backup heating, and lower savings.
Aqua Therma’s approach is different. By installing adequate EVTs and integrating proprietary cooling mechanisms, Aqua Therma ensures the system performs optimally, delivering 40%-65% savings on overall electricity bills, not just water heating costs.
Benefits of Aqua Therma’s Solar Geyser Retrofit
1. Substantial Electricity Bill Savings
With Aqua Therma’s properly sized and advanced systems, households can save 40%-65% on their overall electricity bills, translating to approximately R1,250 per month for an average household.
2. Reliable Hot Water in All Weather Conditions
Aqua Therma ensures consistent hot water year-round by installing enough EVTs to handle varying weather conditions, including overcast or cold days.
3. Overheating Prevention for Safety and Reliability

4. Higher Efficiency per Rand Spent
Aqua Therma’s systems deliver greater savings and efficiency per Rand spent compared to competitors that undersize their systems or lack advanced cooling features.
5. Seamless Integration with Existing Geysers
The retrofit works with your existing geyser, making the installation cost-effective and avoiding the need for a costly replacement.
6. Smart Automation with AquaTrac
The AquaTrac smart controller ensures optimal system operation with minimal user intervention, automating pump activity and regulating temperatures to maximize energy efficiency.
7. Durable and Low Maintenance
With robust materials and high-quality construction, Aqua Therma’s systems are designed to last and require minimal maintenance, providing long-term reliability.
8. Environmentally Friendly
By using renewable solar energy, Aqua Therma’s retrofits reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lowering your carbon footprint and contributing to a greener future.
9. Energy Independence
The solar PV-powered pump and efficient design reduce dependency on Eskom and shield you from rising energy prices and power outages.
10. Increased Property Value
Solar installations are a valuable addition to any home, enhancing its resale value and market appeal.
