How to choose the right material and capacity of water heater for me?
Choosing the right product depends on various factors:
Material – Cascade provides water heaters in two different materials – Stainless Steel and ABS (Aesthetic Brawn Series). While ABS water heaters are cheaper in price, stainless steel water heaters are aesthetically more appealing. However, the performance and durability of both types of heaters remain the same.
Capacity – The right capacity of water heater largely depends on the number of people expected to use it. On an average, a single person consumes 10 Litres of hot water in one shower.
-
In the case of electric water heaters, what would be my electricity charges?
A storage geyser consumes 2kw per hour and an Instant geyser consumes 3kw per hour.
-
What is the water pressure requirement for Cascade water heaters?
All our water heaters work with gravity pressure. They require their tank to be at a minimum of 6 feet above the outlet point. Cascade electric water heaters such as Tuffy Max Surge can withstand pressure upto 10 bar which is one of India’s highest pressure compatibility. Other Cascade water heaters typically withstand pressure from 8 to 9 bars. please refer to product detail page for exact details.
-
When to choose Solar water heaters?
The choice between electric and solar water heaters depends on the cost, long term gains, area available, and size of family. While Solar water heaters can be an expensive investment, you can recover the expense in a minimum of 6 years from your savings on electricity. Solar is a cost effective solution provided you don’t move houses often. Solar water heaters ideally require a minimum of 5 sq. feet of free space on the building roof. Solar water heaters may be a more effective solution for a family of more than 5 people.
