What Size Geyser Do You Need? 6L vs 10L vs 15L vs 25L
Buy a geyser too small and the hot water runs out mid-bath; too big and you heat water you never use. Here's how to size it for North India winters.
Capacity by usage
- 1–3L (instant) — kitchen sink and washbasin use.
- 6L — 1–2 people, bucket baths.
- 10–15L — the family sweet spot: 2–4 people, bucket baths plus short showers.
- 25L — showers for families of 4+, back-to-back winter baths, or bathtub use.
Storage or instant?
Storage geysers heat a tank and hold it — right for bathrooms and families. Instant geysers heat on demand — right for kitchens and single quick users. Most North India bathrooms do best with a 10–25L storage model.
What else matters
- 5-star rating — geysers run daily all winter; efficiency pays for itself.
- Pressure rating — high-rise homes need higher bar-rated tanks.
- Tank warranty — look for long warranties on the inner tank.
