Selecting a suitable geyser for the nuclear family involves the need to achieve a balance between wall space and reliable functionality on a daily basis. Huge and bulky geysers consume valuable wall space and consume too much power, while smaller geysers do not make the family members suffer from such hindrances.
These five compact 10-25 litre capacity storage geysers are designed with high-density insulators along with total multi-stage safety controls. These models have been developed to meet the needs of quick heat recovery and daily use by the family members.

Expert Tips for Maximizing Hot Water Efficiency in Small Spaces
- On an average day the temperature should be set between 50 and 55 degrees centigrade and not always maintained at 75 degrees.
- The heater must be positioned close to the shower area, as shorter pipes will help reduce heat loss.
- Keep a space of 5 to 6 inches around the device and do not cover it with any plastic or keep it in boxes.
- Every six months, drain out a bucket full of water from the heater as it helps remove the salt and sand settled at the bottom, especially when you have high TDS content in the water.
- An automatic shut-off facility must be used, and the device should not be kept on constantly after heating.
