Water Heater Buying Guide
Instant or storage? The right geyser depends on how many people bathe back-to-back, your water hardness and safety needs. We cover capacity, wattage and the safety features that matter.

What to consider
1
Instant vs storage
Instant (3–6L) suits kitchens & quick use; storage (10–25L) suits bucket & shower baths for families.
2
Capacity
15L covers one bathroom for a small family; add capacity for back-to-back showers.
3
Safety features
Look for multi-layer safety, thermal cut-out, pressure-release valve and an ISI mark.
4
Glass-lined tank
Glass-lined or titanium-coated tanks resist corrosion — vital for hard water areas.
5
Star rating
5-star storage geysers hold heat longer, cutting standby power loss.
