hot coffee,cozy room the next thing that comes to mind as soon as the chilling wind
knocks the door, is the water heater. So, if you are looking for the geyser that caters
your need, then you have landed in the right place.

Things to keep in mind before buying a Water Geyser

❖ Type of Geyser: There are two types of water geysers available in the
market, the instant geyser and the storage geyser. While the instant geysers
are a perfect choice for purposes like wash basin or kitchen, you must go for a
storage geyser for your bathrooms.
❖ Size of Geyser: The size of the geyser is yet another point to keep in mind
while buying a water geyser. If you have a medium or large family, or if you
prefer going for hot water showers then you must go for geysers with a
storage capacity of 10-15 liters.
