Storage water heaters can be really helpful for a small family. Keeping hot water ready for use after one cycle of heating, it reduces the waiting time for baths and can even keep hot water ready for other needs like hand washing. A 15-litre water heater can be enough for a small family’s needs. Additionally, for a concealed placement, a horizontal design is a good choice. It can be placed above false ceilings with ease, without affecting the overall aesthetics of your washroom. To choose one, you should look for features like durability and safety. Here are some picks available on Amazon that sport promising features and specifications.
The inner tank on the AO Smith HSE-HAS comes with a double coating of glass-lining, which increases the overall thickness of the glass and ensures better durability against corrosion. The heating element itself also comes with additional glass coating to prevent scale formation. While there is a temperature control knob, in case the temperature exceeds the preset levels for any reason, there’s also a thermal cutout feature which shuts off the power supply in such cases. Additionally, there’s also a safety valve that can release pressure by discharging water when pressure exceeds preset limits. This helps avoid damage to the heater.
To provide optimal insulation, the American Micronic 15-litre horizontal water heater comes with a 40mm PUF insulation with a density of 35kg/m3 between its 2mm steel tank and the exterior. This ensures that less heat escapes from the tank. The tank can also withstand water pressure of up to 8 bars, which ensures it can be used in high rise buildings. The official IPX4 rating also ensures resistance against splashing water in the washroom, as well as weather effects and humidity. It also comes with multiple safety systems to protect against situations like dry heating or water pressure exceeding the acceptable limit.
The 15GMH water heater from Bajaj Majesty comes with a special protection device that helps prevent corrosion of the heating element and the tank. It does so by attracting harmful salts away from the water. The model also includes multiple safety features against situations like overheating, excessive pressure and dry heating. This helps you operate it with peace of mind for yourself and the device. The indicators on the model convey the power and heating status. The heating element aims to deliver long durability and higher efficiency. The plug on the model is designed to be fire retardant which is another layer of safety for the device.
The ABS body on the KENSTAR Fresh 15L water heater makes it cool to touch and helps increase durability. The 8 bar pressure rating also ensures that it can be safely used in multi-storeyed buildings as well. The ISI certification on the element and the glassline coating on the tank add to the robustness of the model. With the same purpose, the heater also includes a Multifunctional Valve and a Replaceable Magnesium Anode Rod. The pressure release valve helps it handle over-pressure without risk. The non-return and drain valve ensures safety from situations of improper water flow.
