Description
Fischer F-40 is a 40-litre capacity electric storage water heater (geyser) designed for domestic use, ideal for bathrooms needing consistent hot water supply. It incorporates a heavy‐duty 14-gauge inner tank, high quality insulation (imported glass wool), and a 2000-watt heating element to rapidly heat stored water. The unit features a robust metal outer body, imported Incoloy heating element for durability, and a capillary thermostat for temperature control. Fischer offers a 3-year tank leak warranty for this model in Pakistan, giving added peace of mind.
In use, you fill the tank with cold water and switch it on; the 2000 W element heats the water inside until the thermostat reaches the set temperature, then it keeps the water warm for use. The storage capacity means you have a buffer of hot water ready to use, which is helpful if you have moderate hot-water demand (for a family, or a bathroom with shower + basin). The sturdy “14-gauge” inner tank steel specification means it is built for durability under pressure and corrosion resilience. Look for proper installation with a safety valve (pressure & temperature relief) and competent wiring, especially given the 2000 W draw.
The unit is suitable for homes in Pakistan, especially where gas supply may be unreliable and an electric geyser is more practical. Its size (40 L) makes it a good fit for a bathroom with one shower and a basin, or for moderate hot-water use in a small family.
Specifications Table
| Specification | Value / Notes |

| Capacity | 40 litres |
| Heating Power | 2000 W (2 kW) |
| Inner Tank Gauge | 14 gauge steel inner tank |
| Inner Tank Material & Features | Heavy duty steel inner tank, welded, with glass wool insulation |
| Insulation | Imported glass wool insulation around the tank |
| Heating Element | Imported Incoloy element (durable corrosion‐resistant) |
| Thermostat / Control | Capillary thermostat; also mentions thermal safety cut-out in descriptions |
| Tank Warranty | 3-year tank leakage warranty (for this model) |
| Outer Body | Metal body (robust design) |
| Additional Features | Single welded tank (no under-capacity tank) ; wattage control in other models of same line allow adjustment to 800/1200/2000W (though for F-40 specifically, rated 2000W) |
| Recommended Use | Bathrooms/small households where 40 L of hot water is appropriate; storage type heater |
| Electrical Supply | Standard domestic electric supply (likely ~220-240 V) – wiring and breaker must support 2000 W load |
| Safety Considerations | Install with proper temperature & pressure relief valve; check local wiring and switchgear for 2 kW heating load; regular maintenance recommended |
Notes & Installation Tips
-
Because this is a storage-type electric water heater (40 L), you’ll need to wait for the tank to heat up after switching it on.
-
For best performance, ensure the cold supply water temperature, flow, and usage pattern match the capacity — e.g., for a family bathroom usage scenario of say 2-3 persons, 40 litres may be adequate.
-
Make sure electrical wiring is appropriate for a 2000 W device: at ~230 V that means ~8.7 amps nominal, but startup/component temperature factors apply, so your circuit breaker and wiring should be sized accordingly.
-
The “14 gauge inner tank” means the tank steel is relatively robust (lower gauge = thicker steel). It suggests better durability.
-
The imported Incoloy heating element is considered desirable due to better corrosion resistance vs cheaper materials.
-
Ensure the installation includes a working safety/pressure relief valve, and that maintenance (checking for scale, sediment, etc) is done periodically.
-
Because the tank is storing hot water, heat losses will occur if not well insulated; this model claims good insulation (imported glass wool) which is positive.
- If electricity tariffs are high in your area or load shedding is frequent, you might want to evaluate how many hours you can effectively run it and when (off-peak times may matter).
