Hot Showers FTW: 10 Best Water Geysers For Every Type Of Usage

Geysers are largely divided into Instant geysers and Storage geysers. Instant geysers heat water as it flows through the unit, whereas storage geysers store hot water in a tank, keeping it warm for longer durations. Instant geysers are ideal for those with lesser consumption or those living in urban areas, with consistent electric supply. Storage geysers are meant for those with constant consumption of hot water, with erratic electric supply. There are more types these days, such as digital, solar powered and tankless ones. 

Geyser capacity is measured in litres and should be chosen based on the number of people in your family, and your daily hot water requirements. For example, a 15-25 litre geyser is suitable for a family of 3-4 members.

Look for a geyser with a high BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) star rating to ensure energy efficiency and lower electricity bills. A 5-star rated geyser is the most energy-efficient. Geyser heating elements are made of either copper or stainless steel. Generally, Copper heating elements are more efficient and durable compared to stainless steel.

Ensure that the geyser has safety features like auto cut-off, thermal cutoff, and pressure release valve to prevent accidents and ensure safe operation. 

Lastly, it is ideal to choose a geyser from a reputed brand known for its quality, reliability, and after-sales service. Thus, even if you’re making a one time investment into the product it turns out to be value for money and does not require constant servicing and repairs. 

A great choice for when you need portable water heaters to still get those warm baths on the go.
