This geyser popped up on my Youtube feed the other day.

Quick Google and it looks like it costs around R30k, which is traditional heat pump teratry.
Anyone have experience with this system?

My first question is how long it must run in a day to heat the water and glycol solution to 60 degrees. It's all well and good telling me it only consumes 750W, but if it has to run 10 hours per day, then it will consume more electricity than my traditional geyser currently does in a day.

At a quick look, I think your assumptions are right. To compare my 16 tube ev system is already producing 60+ C daily although I am still getting 15C losses at night. I am not using any grid power for this geyser currently.

I cannot comment on the specific product but using the guideline from my heat pump over 13 years the COP can be an average of 3 in Gauteng. Thus you having a heating capacity of 2250W. Although the link is for a 200L unit I have a 150L geyser and only use a maximum of 3hrs per day with my timer set to 1.5h for the early 4h-5h30 heating and the same in the afternoon. The afternoon can run below 1h. Never without hot water and the great thing is one can see the temp of the water. During heating you also know that the whole geyser as at the specific temp and not just around the element/thermostat. My 4.7kW heat pump draws 1500W while running.

One of our members reported a COP of 6 on a new large heat pump recently.

During very cold nights in winter I do up the 4h time slot to 2hrs just to ensure water at 55 degrees in the morning.
