FAQs

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.

Solar water heaters last for more than 8 years. Electric water heaters last for more than 5 years and gas water heaters last for more than 3 years.*

Here are several signs that may indicate that you require a new water heater:
a. Water build-up in or around the area of your water heater may suggest a leak.

In case of emergency:
1. Turn off the gas or electric heater.
2. Turn off the water supply.
3. Drain water heater (if necessary).

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.
