Lacto And Brass Geyser Valves

Low-pressure geysers usually have spherical “Lacto” valves fitted on the cold-water supply to the geyser. These pressure-balancing valves ensure that both the hot and cold-water supply to the bathrooms is at the same pressure rating as the high-pressure geyser. Geyser Man Plumbing is a leading supplier of Lacto and brass geyser valves in Gauteng.

Old, blocked galvanised pipes or a dirty or blocked valve can cause low hot-water pressure. Some houses have low-pressure geysers (100 kPa), while others have modern high-pressure geysers (600 kPa).
