Question 1

What capacity does a bathroom need?

Accepted Answer

For one person taking a short shower or a bucket bath, a small storage unit is enough. For two people in sequence or a long shower it is not, because the tank refills with cold and the temperature drops. Size it by how the bathroom is actually used in the morning.

Question 2

Can it run off a normal socket?

Accepted Answer

No. A water heater element draws far more than a general-purpose socket circuit is intended for and needs a dedicated point with its own protective device and adequately sized wiring. Running one off a lighting circuit or a small socket overloads both wiring and switch.

Question 3

Will hard water damage it?

Accepted Answer

Hard water scales the element and the tank interior, and that is the commonest cause of a heater losing performance and eventually failing. Where water is hard, have the tank flushed periodically and the element checked. A good lining helps but nothing stops scale forming in the water.

Question 4

What does the warranty actually cover?

Accepted Answer

Tank and components usually carry different periods, and where a listing states a tank warranty that figure applies to the tank alone. Ask for the current warranty card terms and keep your purchase invoice, because claims routinely require proof of the purchase date.

Question 5

How high should it be mounted?

Accepted Answer

High enough to clear the door and shower head, on a wall that can carry the unit plus its full water weight, which is considerably more than the empty appliance. That means brick or concrete with proper fasteners rather than a hollow partition or unbacked board wall.

Question 6

What does a BEE star rating mean on a geyser?

Accepted Answer

It mainly reflects standing heat loss, meaning how much heat the insulation gives up while the tank sits idle between uses. That matters because a storage heater spends most of its day doing exactly that, so the rating shows up on the bill across a winter.

Question 7

Storage or instant - which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Storage suits showers and bucket baths, holding a reserve of hot water ready. Instant units suit a kitchen sink or a hand wash where you need a small quantity immediately and continuously. Choosing an instant unit for a shower usually disappoints on flow.
