V-Guard Glado 15 Litre Storage Water HeaterÂ
The V-Guard Glado 15 Litre Storage Water Heater is a high-performance appliance designed to provide consistent and efficient hot water for everyday needs. With a perfect balance of modern technology, stylish design, and robust safety features, this water heater suits medium to large families, especially in regions with moderately cold to cold climates. It reflects V-Guard’s commitment to offering energy-efficient and durable home appliances.
Design and Build Quality
The Glado 15L is crafted with a contemporary look that complements modern bathrooms and kitchens. Its sleek, compact, and space-saving cylindrical body is coated with a rust-resistant ABS outer shell, which ensures both aesthetic appeal and long-term durability. The powder-coated finish offers resistance to humidity and moisture, common in wet bathroom environments.
Internally, the water heater is equipped with a high-grade steel inner tank lined with glass-lined anti-corrosion coating, which helps prevent rust and scaling. This ensures the heater has a longer life and requires minimal maintenance even after prolonged use with hard water.
Capacity and Heating Performance
With a 15-litre storage capacity, the Glado water heater is ideal for families of 3 to 5 members. It can store enough hot water for multiple uses such as bathing, washing dishes, and other domestic activities. The high-capacity tank ensures that you won’t need to wait frequently for the water to reheat.
Powered by a powerful 2000-watt (2kW) copper heating element, the Glado heats water quickly and efficiently. The copper element is known for its excellent thermal conductivity, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Within minutes of switching on the unit, the water reaches the desired temperature, thanks to its fast-heating mechanism.
Advanced Temperature Control
The Glado features an adjustable thermostat control knob that allows users to select the desired temperature level with ease. Whether you prefer lukewarm or hot water, this knob gives you complete control. The temperature setting is typically marked between 25°C to 75°C, offering flexibility based on seasonal or personal needs.
The Thermal Cut-Out Protection ensures that the appliance automatically cuts off power when the set temperature is reached. This helps prevent overheating, adds to energy savings, and enhances safety.
Safety Features
One of the strongest aspects of the V-Guard Glado 15L is its comprehensive 4-layer safety system, ensuring both electrical and thermal protection for users:
-
Thermostat Control: Automatically switches off heating once the set temperature is achieved, avoiding overheating.
-
Thermal Cut-Out: Offers secondary protection by disconnecting power in case of thermostat failure.
-
Pressure Release Valve: The Glado is equipped with a pressure release valve to handle excess pressure build-up, especially in high-rise buildings or hard water areas. It releases excess water safely to prevent tank damage.
-
Magnesium Anode Rod: Fitted with a heavy-duty magnesium anode rod for protection against corrosion and scaling, particularly in hard water conditions.
These features make the water heater highly reliable and safe for everyday use.
Energy Efficiency
The V-Guard Glado 15 Litre water heater carries a 5-star BEE rating, signifying that it is designed for energy-efficient performance. The PUF (Polyurethane Foam) insulation around the inner tank minimizes heat loss and keeps the water hot for extended periods, reducing the frequency of re-heating and thereby lowering electricity consumption.
This energy-efficient construction ensures long-term savings on electricity bills, making it an economical investment for your home.
Installation and Usability
The Glado is designed for vertical wall mounting, making it ideal for modern bathrooms with space constraints. It comes with installation accessories, including inlet and outlet pipes, a mounting bracket, and user manuals. While it’s recommended to have it installed by authorized professionals, the process is usually straightforward.
Its user-friendly control panel with LED indicators ensures ease of use, even for older adults and people unfamiliar with electronic appliances.
Durability and Warranty
V-Guard offers a 5-year warranty on the inner tank and 2 years comprehensive warranty on the overall product. This strong warranty coverage reflects the brand’s confidence in the build quality and long-lasting performance of the Glado.
Moreover, the anti-corrosion inner tank, rust-resistant outer body, and reliable heating element mean the heater is built to last, even under harsh water conditions.
