Picture a typical winter morning. Some are in the bath, some are preparing for work and somebody is waiting for the geyser to reheat. One morning it’s just a line outside the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound familiar?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue may not be with the heating efficiency<\/a> of your geyser. It may be the right size for your home, just not the right one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of litres of geyser required will not only depend on the number of people in the house but also other factors. How often your family bathes, how often they shower, the temperature of the water, and how long after you get out of the tub before you bathe again all affect the amount of hot water you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 10-15 litre storage geyser can be ideal for two persons while a 15-25 litre storage geyser can be ideal for three persons and a 25 litre or above geyser is ideal for 4 persons especially when everyone bathes in succession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the following are just a few starting points, not rigid rules. How to discover a capacity that fits your house without causing needless electricity usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Many Pints of How Much Geyser Capacity Do You Need for Your Family?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let us first have a practical reference of the houses in India before talking about individual family sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Size<\/strong><\/td>Suggested Geyser Capacity<\/strong><\/td>Suitable Usage<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
1 person<\/td>6\u201310 litres<\/td>Limited use of hot water, bucket baths.<\/td><\/tr>
2 people<\/td>10\u201315 litres<\/td>Taking bucket baths or using the shower regularly, but not too much.<\/td><\/tr>
3 people<\/td>15\u201325 litres<\/td>Normal hot water needs per day (moderate hot water needs of 40 \u00b0C or more per day)<\/td><\/tr>
4 people<\/td>25\u201335 litres<\/td>Hot water use that is consecutive and\/or greater in use.<\/td><\/tr>
5+ people<\/td>35 litres or more<\/td>Higher water demand due to having more people and using hot water regularly.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These are estimates for all storage water heaters. Actual requirements will vary according to the temperature of the incoming water, the desired bathing water temperature and whether or not hot water is blended with cold water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you take baths at different times, then a smaller geyser can work for a larger family. In turn, a family of three may have a greater capacity requirement than a couple who are using rain shower capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will a 10L or 15L Geyser Work for 2 People?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 10L storage geyser or 15L storage geyser might be a good option for a couple living in a flat or a small household with two people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all depends on the way both individuals prefer to bathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
