Description
Fischer F-50 is a 50-litre capacity storage-type electric water heater designed for home use suitable for moderate hot-water demand (e.g., a family bathroom with shower + basin). It features a robust 14-gauge inner tank made of heavy steel, covered by a durable metal outer body. The heating element is rated at 2000 Watts, allowing the water to be heated up to usable temperature in a reasonable time. The unit uses imported glass-wool insulation to reduce standby heat losses and prolong hot-water retention. A capillary thermostat regulates the water temperature, and safety features such as thermal cut-outs are built in. According to listings, the tank comes with a 2- or 3-year tank leakage warranty depending on the vendor. The “Fast” in the name suggests quicker warm-up compared to basic models — though as a storage heater it still requires some time to reach full temperature.
This model is well-suited for households in Pakistan where electricity is available and a reliable hot-water store is preferred. Because it stores 50 litres of heated water, it provides flexibility (you can switch it on, let it heat, then use) rather than instantly heating each drop. Its heavy gauge tank and quality insulation signal durability and better performance versus cheaper units.

Installation & Usage Tips
-
Ensure the circuit feeding this unit is sized appropriately (for 2000 W at ~230 V you’ll draw ~8.7 amps, but allow margin for safe wiring and switching).
-
Use a proper temperature & pressure relief valve to protect the tank (especially because storage heaters pressurised and heated).
-
Because it’s a storage heater, you’ll need to turn it on ahead of time so that the water reaches set temperature before use.
-
The glass-wool insulation helps reduce heat loss, but to preserve efficiency, avoid letting the tank stand empty or at very low load for long periods.
-
If you choose to use the adjustable wattage feature (if available), using a lower setting (e.g., 800 or 1200 W) can reduce electricity consumption albeit with longer heating time.
-
Regular maintenance: Check anode (if present), inspect for sediment build-up especially if your supply has hard water, and check insulation for signs of corrosion or leak.
-
Because the unit is relatively large (50 L), ensure you have the physical wall space and structural support for the weight when full of water.
-
If you have multiple bathrooms or high hot-water demand (e.g., multiple showers simultaneously), you may need a larger capacity model or dual units.
