Pressure Ratings Explained
Geyser pressure ratings determine how much water pressure a system can safely handle.
● 400 kPa models: Best for all capacities except the 150l.
● 600 kPa models: Best for the 150l Superline.
KK explains the technical difference, while Chantelle adds her cheeky analogy: “Hot, hard, standing up? Or cooler, softer, lying down?” - a fun way to remember the options.

Energy Ratings and Efficiency
Every Superline geyser comes with an energy rating label. The higher the rating, the less electricity it uses over time.
Ways to improve efficiency further include:
● Insulate the hot and cold pipes within a meter of the geyser.
● Using a timer to heat water during off-peak hours.
● Pairing with a Kwikpump Heat Pump or Kwiksol Solar Geyser for hybrid savings.
By combining efficiency measures, households can cut water heating costs by up to 40 - 60%.
