Geyser timers
A timer switches the geyser on and off at set times. It's simple and effective if your routine doesn't change, but adjusting it means going to the timer itself.
Smart geyser switches
A smart switch, such as the CBi Astute Smart Controller in your DB board or the Astute Smart Isolator on the wall, connects to your Wi-Fi so you can set schedules and switch the geyser on or off from a phone app, wherever you are.
Why it saves electricity
A geyser keeps reheating water all day to replace heat lost through the tank and pipes. Heating only before you need hot water cuts that waste. How much you save depends on your household and your geyser.
Ideal for landlords and Airbnb hosts
Switch geysers off when units are empty and on before guests arrive, and see every unit from one app. Remote geyser switch installation →
