Racold 3 litres Instant Water Heater with PUF Insulation, Pronto Stylo(492391709)

Depending on your needs, inquire about self-cleaning units, product efficiency ratings, first-hour hot water delivery and recovery time, and automatic shut off valves. Self-cleaning units automatically fight lime and sediment build-up to lengthen tank life and maintain peak efficiency for a longer period of time. Recovery speed is the amount of time it takes to heat a full tank of water. If you tend to use a lot of hot water, look for a model with a fast recovery speed. An automatic shut off valve helps prevent fires by shutting off the flow of gas on the ground or the gas flow experiences a sudden, sizeable increase

Consider fuel source (solar, gas or electricity), domestic or industrial usage, storage capacity, warranty, service, availability, number of members in your family and amount of hot water requirement of your family.

Here are several signs that may indicate that you require a new water heater:<ul><li>Water build-up in or around the area of your water heater may suggest a leak.</li><li>The unit no longer provides the same temperature or duration of hot water as it had in the past.</li></ul>

Choose the mounting type depending upon your available space where you want to install the water heater.If the space between the place where product to be and ceiling is low, then horizontal products are recommended as it has a lower vertical length compared to the same capacity vertical product. But if there is no space constraint then vertical products are better suited as they are more energy efficient.If you go for horizontal mounting, then look for the inlet outlet pipes provision in your plumbing system if its right hand side, left hand side, centre pipe etc. For instance, if both the inlet and outlet pipes are on the right then choose a right hand horizontal product.Racold has various range of mounting types to suit your requirement and space constraints.

The choice of product depends upon the place where the product will be installed.If the product is to be installed on the wall of a nice looking bathroom, then the choice should be a good looking product which enhances the look and feel of bathroom.If the product is to be installed on a false ceiling, then a simple looking product which has a robust performance should be chosen.

Protective coats like Titanium Enamel and SPHP coatings are best suited to protect the product from hard water.

For electric and gas geysers, no permits are required. However, for installation of solar geysers permission is required from the society.

In case of emergency:<ul><li>Turn off the gas or electric heater.</li><li>Turn off the water supply.</li><li>Drain water heater (if necessary).</li></ul>

The product which minimises energy loss, which happens in the form of standing heat loss, are more energy efficient.The standing heat loss is measured in the star rating. The star rating is issued by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) which was set up by government of India under the provision of Energy Conservation Act.Higher the star, higher is the energy efficiency and thus, saves more energy and money. Racold has been the recipient of the BEE Energy Award for 9 years in a row and multiple MNRE awards over the last few years alone.

The energy efficient Racold solar water heater recovers the cost of the product in less than 2 years through electricity savings.Saving Calculation<table class="table table-bordered" style="margin: 25px 0px 20px 0px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Electricity consumed to Heat 100 ltrs of water per day</td> <td>5.12 units</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Electricity consumed to Heat 100 ltrs of water for 30 days</td> <td>153 units (30x5.16)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Electricity consumed to Heat 100 ltrs of water annually (10 months)</td> <td>1536 units (155x10)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cost per unit</td> <td>Rs 6.7^*</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cost of electricity consumed annually</td> <td>Rs. 10291</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cost of a Racold 100 LPD Solar System</td> <td>Rs 18500^*</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Payback period</td> <td>1.8 years</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
