How it works

  1. 1Base step by headcount: 1-2 → 50L, 3 → 60L, 4 → 80L, 5+ → 100L (about 50L per person)
  2. 2Bathtub or shared kitchen use: move up one step ("bigger is safer")
  3. 3Result: 60L tank, power 3000W

Capacity reference

1-2 persons: 40-50L (rental / small flat) · 3: 60L · 4: 80L · 5+: 100L+. Winter feed water is colder, so lean larger; a 60L tank fits 2-3 consecutive showers with 15+ min reheating gaps.

3000W dual-tube heating roughly halves reheat time vs 2000W single tube. Wall load: an 80L full tank weighs ~160kg — confirm the wall can bear it or use a floor stand; a 2.5 mm² circuit with a dedicated 16A socket is required. Prefer first-class energy efficiency (saves ~150-200 kWh/year vs class 2), anti-electric-wall (mandatory in national standard), and a seamless welded enamel tank (8-year warranty typical). Check the leakage-test button monthly.
