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.

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.
