A water geyser, also known as a hot water heater or simply a geyser, is an appliance that heats water and stores it in a tank for later use. Water geysers are commonly used in homes, apartments, and other buildings to provide hot water for sinks, showers, and other fixtures. Quite common in India due to harsh winters we face in parts of India.

Fortunately we have many innovative geysers coming to the Indian market like induction based water heater without heating element, smart water geysers, remote controlled water geysers etc. Even the safety protection of geysers is being looked upon by manufacturers like dual thermostat, safety valve, elcb protection etc.

Things to consider before buying a water heater geyser in India:

  • Capacity: Choose a capacity that meets your household’s hot water requirements. It depends on the number of people using hot water and the intended use.
  • Energy Efficiency: Look for energy-efficient models to reduce electricity or gas consumption and save on utility bills.
  • Brand and Warranty: Opt for reputable brands with good customer reviews and warranty coverage.
  • Safety Features: Ensure the geyser has safety features like thermostat control, auto-cut off, and pressure release valves to prevent accidents.
  • Installation and Maintenance: Check for easy installation and availability of service centers for maintenance and repairs.

An avg. Indian household take bath every via bucket while young people prefer showers nowadays.

Capacity of storage water tank according on family size.

  • Bucket bath for 1-2 family members we recommend 10L storage geysers.
  • Shower bath for 1-2 family members we recommend 15L storage geysers.
  • Bucket bath for 3-4 family members we recommend 15L storage geysers.
  • Shower bath for 3-4 family members we recommend 25L storage geysers.
  • For 5+ family members we recommend 25L storage geysers.

We recommend only storage water geysers for harsh north Indian winters while for south one can go for instant water geyser. For any confusion look at our storage vs instant water geyser comparison. A new type of induction water geyser have arrived in market with no element inside the the water tank.
