Essential Tips for Installing a Gas Geyser
Why your outdoor gas geyser needs a Weather Box Cover
Installing a weather box cover for your outdoor gas geyser is crucial to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Here are the key reasons why a weather box is essential:
Protection from Severe Weather
Weather Shielding: A weather box cover provides a protective cover for your gas geyser, safeguarding it from extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, and intense sunlight. This helps prevent potential damage that can affect the functionality and lifespan of your appliance.
Bird Nest Prevention: Birds often seek warm spots to nest, and the top of a gas geyser is an inviting location. A weather box prevents birds from nesting on top of the geyser, avoiding blockages and other issues that can arise from bird nests.
Corrosion Minimization
Sea Air Protection: For homes near the sea, the salty air can be highly corrosive to metal components. A weather box made from galvanized steel provides robust protection against corrosion, significantly extending the life of your gas geyser.
High Condensation Protection: For homes near rivers, valleys, or dams, the high condensation levels can lead to significant moisture accumulation and rust. A weather box offers superior resistance to moisture and corrosion.
Rust Resistance: These weather boxes are crafted from galvanized steel, making them resistant to rust. Additionally, they can be powder-coated for a sleek and stylish finish, further enhancing their durability and appearance.
Tectyl Coating: Tectyl is a clear spray that forms a protective barrier against corrosive elements, preventing metal products from rusting. Living at the coast? Extend the lifespan of your gas geyser with Dewhot’s Tectyle Coating service.
Warranty Considerations
Warranty Coverage: Dewhot geysers installed outside without a weather box will not be covered under the warranty. It is mandatory to install a weather box to protect the appliance against extreme weather and potential damage. This ensures that your investment is protected and that you can take full advantage of the warranty coverage.
Preventing Overheating
Designed for Ventilation: These boxes are specifically designed to allow the hot air released by the unit to escape, preventing the geyser from overheating and shutting down. This design feature ensures the appliance operates efficiently without interruption.
Additional Recommendations
Use of a Flue: In areas with extreme weather conditions, it is recommended to use a flue. If your geyser uses a flue, you will need a weather box that includes a flue roof to accommodate this setup and ensure proper ventilation and protection.
Ease of Use and Installation
Rust-Proof: The galvanized steel construction ensures that the weather box is rust-proof, providing long-term protection.
Easy to Ship: The weather boxes are flat-packed for easy shipping.
Simple Assembly and Installation: They are easy to assemble and install. Dewhot provides a template for quick installations, making the process straightforward.
Customizable: The galvanized steel material is easy to paint, allowing you to customize the look of your weather box to match your home’s exterior.
