Can we use Instant Geyser for bathroom?

Electric Instant geyser Working Principle

Instant geyser is the type of geyser with small storage capacity of 1 liter or 3 liters as well as a high heating rate of 3 kW or 4.5 kW. Geyser with more than 3 liters storage capacity are grouped under storage geyser. These geyser are referred to as instant because of the high heating rate and low storage volume at which they give hot water, almost immediately.

Instant geyser comes with a small steel or copper tank, heating element and thermostat. The inherent safety features offered in an instant geyser is the only the dissimilarity between an instant geyser and Water heating iron.

In an instant geyser, water flows above a heating element and gets heated instantaneously. As a result, the larger the flow of water, the slighter the time for the water to be heated and also slighter the water temperature get higher. You need to decrease water flow in order to boost water temperature or augment the power of the heating coil (KW/HR) rating.

You need a minimum of 4.5 KW/hr capacities for a medium flow of water through shower as a 3KW instant geyser does not have the capacity to give you the hot water temperature rise needed.

How to Use Electric Instant geyser

• The first thing you must do is to make sure that there is flow of water into the instant geyser and do not open the outlet.
• Allow the water to get heated about 60 seconds for a 3KW instant geyser
• Always watch for the neon sign that indicates that the water is hot enough for bathing
• If your own instant geyser do not have the neon sign, you can open the outlet to adjust the flow to allow hot water with the needed temperature flows out

Electric Instant Geyser Safety

As soon as the needed temperature is attained, a high-quality Instant geyser makes use of a geyser thermostat to cut off the supply of electricity to the geyser heating element. In addition, instant geyser features a high pressure valve that will let hot water drain out of the geyser and not increase the pressure in the geyser as a result of creation of the steam and therefore keep away from an explosion.

Advantages of Electric Instant Geyser

• Cheaper than the storage geyser, water heating cost wise. The reason is hot water is consume immediately without delay.
• Instant geyser lessens electricity consumption and perfect for small families
• Can easily be installed in a small bathroom or tight places
• You can go to bath without delay by just switching on the geyser. No need to wait till water gets hot.
• As the size of an instant geyser is less, it doesn't damage the aesthetics of the bathroom

Disadvantages of Electric Instant Geyser

• It is not possible to bath directly under the shower
• Instant geyser can only produce hot water for a restricted period of time for a particular flow.
• Breaks during the bath. Geyser releases at max 6 liters of water and need to wait for more water during bathing.

Time Needed by Electric Instant Geyser to Heat Water

It would take an instant Geyser almost one minute to heat water to useful temperature of almost 39°C to 40°C which you can use without mixing it with cold water and two minutes to heat water to a high temperature of almost 60°C.

Where Electric Instant Geyser Can be Used

Please see instant geysers are not suitable for shower bath. Do read Gas Geyser or an Electric Geyser? for more information.

Instant Gas Geyser

The question here is that are gas geyser instant? The fact is that gas geyser have faster heating capacity that makes them better than electric instant geyser. Hence, gas geyser are instant geyser.

The solution to can we use instant water geyser for bathroom is to opt for gas water geyser, particularly if you reside in small cities in India. The reason is gas geysers require extra space to keep the LPG cylinder and need sufficient ventilation as went out carbon monoxide produced.
