The Varistor 250 LPD ETC Solar Water Heater is an evacuated tube system with a glass-coated tank, sized for a family of 5 to 7, carrying a 10-year tank warranty. It uses 20 tubes (2100mm each) to heat a 250 litre tank rated to handle water hardness up to 2000 ppm. It is a gravity-fed, non-pressurized system.
Built for hard water the 2000 ppm rating. This is the number that decides the purchase across most of South India. The inner tank is galvanised iron with a glass coating, and that coating is a physical barrier between your water and the metal. On borewell supply, where mineral-heavy water corrodes an ordinary tank in three to four years, the 2000 ppm rating is what supports a 10-year warranty. Among the water heaters we stock, only Sudarshan Saur's glass-lined range and Supreme's higher-rated units match or exceed it most V-Guard and Racold models handle 600 to 1000 ppm.
Sized for a large family. At 250 litres this serves 5 to 7 people sharing hot water across a morning a joint family, or a household with several bathrooms in use at once. Twenty evacuated tubes feed the tank.
Evacuated tube heating. Each tube holds a vacuum layer that traps heat like a thermos, so the system keeps producing on cold winter mornings and overcast monsoon days when a flat plate system slows. For a large household bathing in the same window, that consistency is what keeps everyone in hot water rather than the last person going cold.
Compact footprint. This unit needs 8 feet by 7 feet of clear terrace space.
On sizing, 250 litres serves 5 to 7 people. More than that, step up to 300 or 500 LPD; four or five, the 200 LPD saves money.
The price includes transportation to your house, lifting to the terrace, and installation. You arrange the plumbing connection.
