Polaris water heaters come in different types and sizes. There is a flowing water heater, and there is a cumulative. The volume of tanks is also different. It can be 10, 30, 50, 80, 100 liters and even 150.

When choosing a cumulative model, it is worth considering the fact that you need a separate place for its installation. If you need a water heater only for washing or washing dishes, then a tank with a volume of 10-15 liters is the best option. For regular showering, the volume should be at least 30 liters, on average - 50. And for those who are used to often take a bath, it is worth buying boilers with a volume of 80 liters and above.
