Smart Control for Efficient Hot Water Management
Geyser Connect enhances comfort, reduces energy use and provides greater peace of mind in modern homes.
Hot water is a daily necessity, yet heating it often comes with unnecessary cost and inefficiency. Ariston has 95 years of experience in providing sustainable thermal comfort to people worldwide. Through their renewable and high-efficiency solutions, they fulfill their customers’ different needs while supporting the energy transition at all stages.
Ariston developed Geyser Connect to address this challenge through intelligent technology designed for real homes. This compact device transforms an Ariston Axios geyser into a connected, energy saving system that can be managed from anywhere through the Sensor Connect app. Homeowners can monitor performance in real time, adjust heating schedules and reduce electricity costs by up to 40 % based on Sensor Networks test data on typical SA households.
Learning Technology that Adapts to Everyday Life Geyser Connect observes daily hot water habits such as shower times then gives the user AI hints to adjust heating cycles to match demand. Hot water becomes available exactly when required without unnecessary preheating. For those who prefer full manual control, the app provides instant access. A tap on the Heat Now command activates the geyser immediately and when away from home users can switch it off to avoid waste. The system provides a balance of convenience, intelligent automation and meaningful savings.
Retrofit Ready for Existing Axios Systems Geyser Connect is the only smart retrofit kit in South Africa designed to meet Ariston’ s international performance standards. Developed with Sensor Networks, it offers advanced functionality while remaining simple to install. The device operates independently of geyser installation layout and connects seamlessly with Ariston Axios electronic geysers. It is also certified to key South African regulatory standards including SABS, NRCS and ICASA which ensure safety, connectivity and performance.
Savings that Benefit Households and the Environment By heating water only when required, Geyser Connect can reduce energy use by up to 40 %. In a typical South African home where water heating accounts for R600 to R1,200 each month, this may allow the system to pay for itself in under a year.
Lower energy demand also brings environmental benefits, with fewer kilo-
