Geyser Turn On Time: As soon as the cold weather starts, bathing in the morning becomes a big challenge. Many times people even get up from bed, but the fear of cold water does not allow them to stand under the shower. In such a situation, geyser becomes the biggest help. But one question is asked in almost every house – how long should the geyser be turned on before bathing? Does a small liter geyser heat water quickly? Does keeping the geyser on for a long time increase the electricity bill? Often, as a habit, people keep the geyser on for a long time and switch it off only when the color of the indicator changes. Some people keep the geyser on continuously even while bathing, so that the water does not get cold, but this method is not considered correct. This increases electricity consumption, reduces the life of the geyser and sometimes the water becomes excessively hot, which can also create a risk of burning. The real thing is that there is no single rule as to when to turn on the geyser. It depends on the capacity of your geyser, its power, outside temperature and the number of people using it. If you understand the right timing, you can save electricity and get water at the perfect temperature. Let us now understand in simple language how long should geysers of different liters be switched on before bathing.
On what does the timing of geysers depend?
How quickly a geyser will heat water depends on the following factors:
-How many liters is the geyser?
-What is its power (2kW or 3kW)
-What is the temperature outside?
-How many people will use water?
The lesser the litre, the faster the water will heat, but a geyser with less liter is not enough for many people.
1. 3 to 6 liter geyser
If you have a 3 to 6 liter geyser in your house, then you do not need to run it very early.
-In normal cold: 5 minutes before
-Very cold (10°C or less): 8-9 minutes
This capacity is seen more in homes with instant geysers and it heats water quickly. But remember, this is enough for one or two people only.
2. 10 liter geyser
A 10 liter geyser is considered suitable for a family of two.
To heat from -25°C to 60°C: 8-10 minutes
-In extreme cold: 12-13 minutes
-If the geyser is of 3kW: 7-8 minutes is also enough.
Water of this capacity is suitable for bathing two people continuously, provided water is not wasted unnecessarily.
3. 25 liter geyser
If you have a large family and you use a 25 liter geyser, then:
-For 3-4 people: 15-18 minutes
-If less people use: 8-10 minutes
In this time the entire tank gets heated and you can use it comfortably.
4. 35 liter geyser
This capacity is common in large families.
-2kW geyser: 20-25 minutes
-3kW geyser: 18-20 minutes
-For low usage: 12-15 minutes
If many people are going to take bath continuously, then this capacity is very helpful.
Should the geyser be kept on continuously?
This is a big mistake.
Keeping the geyser on continuously:
-Electricity bill increases
-Geyser’s life is short
-Pressure increases on the thermostat
-Water becomes hotter than necessary
The correct way is to turn off the geyser when the water is hot enough and then use it.
Does a less liter geyser work quickly?
Yes, less liter geyser heats water quickly, but its limit is also less, if you use 3-6 liter geyser, then only one person will be able to take bath comfortably at a time. If two people want to take bath continuously, they may have to wait in between.
Easy ways to save electricity
-Set geyser timer
-Choose capacity as per requirement
-Do not keep the geyser on continuously
-Do not waste water unnecessarily while bathing
