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.

Water geysers are a common feature in many households and buildings and are usually located in a closet, basement or garage. They are relatively low maintenance appliances and can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.
In India, there are various brands and models of water geysers available in the market, catering to different budgets and requirements.
Some popular brands of water geysers in India to consider:
Several must needed protection features for water heater geysers:
- Glass Lined inner tank: Glass coated inner tank offers best protection as tank is not exposed to water at all and being corrosion resistant as long as glass coating is intact the inner tank metal is not exposed to water.
- Glass coated heating element: Similar to water tank even heating element nowadays are coated with glass material for corrosion resistance with no heating loss.
- Anode Rod Protection: Modern water geysers have anode rod in inner tank which offers to dissolve itself for high salt or hard water rather than affect the tank. In long run this offers extra life to inner tank while rod can be replaced during service.
- ELCB Protection: Current leakage can be deadly for people using water heaters as water from heating element is directly linked to pipe and shower. So ELCB in geyser offer extra protection specially must have for homes where home based ELCB protection is not installed.
