How to read this page

  • A smaller tank often costs less to maintain, but it may fall short if hot water demand is regular or shared.
  • An 80 L model can improve convenience, yet the standing and reheating cost usually rises as capacity increases.
  • Use realistic heating hours and demand assumptions before deciding which tank size makes more sense.
