Many people feel frustrated when it comes to choosing between Instant Geyser and Storage Tank Water Geyser (Traditional), as they are not aware of the difference between Instant and Traditional Geysers, and the advantages/disadvantages of each. Several questions in this regard could be problematic to determine the best choice which fits the needs of the buyers. Reading this article will serve you well to choose!

Let's start by defining the Instant Geyser and Traditional Geyser:

Instant Geyser is thankless that heats the water immediately, and at the same time while using it.

Storage Tank Water Geyser is a traditional type that contains a tank and heats the water. It also distributes hot water to a point or many points within the house.

Characteristics to help you:

l  Instant Geyser comes in a small size, energy-saving, and immediate heat in need.

l  Traditional Geyser comes in a big size and sun-light dependent. As a result this enables you to store the heated water for a long time. The Traditional heater is also distinguished from the previous in that it distributes hot water to all points and taps within the house.

1)      what is the mechanism of the Instant heater？

Once you open the hot water valve, it works when the flow of water inside the unit and opens the operating valve. Thus the process of heating the water reaches the required temperature; as a result, you can turn off the faucet when finished using.

2)      what is the mechanism of the Storage heater?

The amount of hot water depends on the storage capacity, if you have an electric unit, you must turn it on before using it. Once the hot water in the tank is used, then automatically the tank is refilled again, and the water is heated again; furthermore, this process requires more time.

There are many necessary requirements that you must take into consideration when purchasing your suitable heater. In terms of price, space, operating cost, span life, electricity consumption, numbers of users, heating time, and energy efficiency.

Price: The initial cost of purchase and installation of the instant one is high. As well as you may need to make major changes to your home to install a tank-less heater. In contrast, the storage one is less costly, but more energy is used. And when any of them malfunctioning. Thus the spare parts for the traditional type are more available than the other with a low price.

Space: water heaters are compact, small in size, and only take up a fraction of space. On the other hand, because the storage can hold large amounts of water, they typically require a sizeable space for installation.

Operating Cost: Instant electric heaters consume less electricity. Because of the hot water is used immediately, but the storage units consume more electricity.

Span Life: The lifespan of an electric instant water geyser is estimated to be more than the storage geyser of a typical storage water heater.

Numbers of Users: Your choice of tank capacity depends on the number of family members. So if you have 1-3 people in the house, I advise you to buy with a capacity of 50 liters only. But if you have 3-5 people in the house, you must buy an 80-liter heater,  besides if there are 5-7 people in the house, so buy with a capacity of 100 liters, moreover if you have more than 10 people in the house, I advise you to buy a huge capacity which is more than 100 liters.

Heating Time: The traditional heater takes a longer time than the instant. To heat the water because it starts heating the water only during the showering period. In contrast to the traditional, we need to turn it on before that to store the water. Moreover we use it in the different water taps in the house.

Energy Efficiency: Instant water heater can save 20%-30% on energy costs, but the storage is not much energy saving.

Now after comparing the types of instant and traditional water heaters. You should consider your needs and then choose the best for you. Moreover, you also need to consider your budget while choosing the perfect one.
