How to choose water heaters for a summer residence

When choosing a water heater, you should decide where it will be installed and how often it is planned to be used. It is better to stay on small-sized models. For a country option, the volume of the tank does not have to be large. You can consider the design of a flat storage electric water heater 10 liters. Round and cylindrical devices take up a lot of space. But it should be borne in mind that flat models have small heat-saving qualities. This option is justified for infrequent use, as it takes up little space and fits well into small niches or cabinets.

Compact design for a summer residence

Flat water heaters have a depth in the range of 23-28 cm. At the same time, the device quickly heats up the water. Also, in some models there are special dividers that can regulate the mixing of water of different temperatures.

It is important to take into account some of the disadvantages of flat devices. They have a shorter lifespan

In addition, the design assumes the presence of two heating elements, the installation of which increases the number of connections. The thermal insulation layer is not as thick as in standard designs.

Flat models do not take up much space

To choose the right design, you must consider the following parameters:

• the volume of the tank depends on the number of people who will use it, as well as on the required volume of water;
• the volume of the inner coating can be made of stainless steel or enamel;
• the power indicator affects the rate of water heating;
• dimensions and type of fastening;
• manufacturer's choice.

It should be borne in mind that during operation, any heaters are subjected to destructive effects from aggressive components, sudden changes in temperature and high pressure.

How to choose the volume of the tank: how the number of people and needs affect

The choice of a water heater with a tank depends on many parameters.

It is important that the design meets all needs and is also an economical solution. The minimum tank size is 10 liters and the maximum is 150

You can choose from the following designs:

• a capacity of 10 liters is enough for household needs, such as washing dishes and for taking a shower by one person. But such a device warms up quickly, and also consumes a small amount of electricity;
• for two people, a 30 liter model is suitable, but you will need to wait a bit until the container warms up. To fill the bath of this volume is not enough, since it will take several hours to fill;
• the volume of 50 liters is suitable for the needs of a small family. These are the most popular models;
• with an 80 liter electric water heater tank, you can even take a bath. At the same time, this volume is not enough for a spacious jacuzzi;
• products from 100 liters are suitable for large families. But such devices have significant weight and large dimensions. And for the installation of installations of 150 liters, it is worth checking whether the supporting structures can withstand such a weight.

The required volume of the tank is selected individually

Features of choice by power level

In all electric boilers for heating water of the storage type, there is 1 or a pair of heating elements. And these details can have different power parameters. In small tanks, 1 heating element is installed. At the same time, its power is 1 kW.

And electric storage water heaters of 50 liters are equipped with a mechanism with a value of 1.5 kW. Models with a capacity of approximately 100 liters are equipped with devices with values ​​​​of 2-2.5 kW.

The floor version of the equipment has more power

The nuances of choosing the type of control

The electronic control method is known to be particularly advantageous. It has wonderful decorative properties and ease of use. At the same time, the price of an electric flat water heater of 30 liters of storage type can be several times higher than that of a device with mechanical settings.

With electric control, the desired indicators are set once, and then they do not need to be adjusted every day. Remember that the failure of at least one element can lead to the failure of the entire equipment.

Ease of electronic control

What are the advantages of anti-corrosion protection

Modern models have a special protective layer that prevents corrosion and damage to the structure.

Tanks can be:

• stainless;
• titanium;
• enamelled.

The surfaces inside the tanks come into regular contact with liquid, causing rust to form. Titanium sputtering or glass porcelain is used as a coating. The glass-ceramic version does not tolerate temperature fluctuations well, which causes cracks.

Location type

The question regarding the location of the boiler arises in rooms where space is very limited. The most popular units are models with a vertical type of arrangement, occupying the space of the room along the wall. Another advantage of such models is the increase in efficiency due to the longer time for the water to cool.

The horizontal type of boilers is less common. For example, take "Ariston" (water heaters). The instruction to them directly says that these units are inferior to vertical ones in terms of the efficiency of maintaining the temperature of heated water. They cost a little less and have a very specific installation process.

Connecting the boiler Ariston

It is better if this work is carried out by specialists. The rules to be followed when installing the device are given below:

1. It is necessary to inspect the safety valve, which should not have visible flaws. If they are, then the damaged part should be replaced.
2. Plastic dowels are used for driving screws.
3. Be sure to check all grounding elements.
4. The electric heater requires a separate power line to operate. The use of extension cords is strictly prohibited. The socket is placed in a non-humid place.
5. In operation, you must use the plug that came with the kit.

The water heater Ariston 80 performs the following functions:

• Turn on/off. After switching on, the whole system starts up, which is due to the lights on, the water temperature in the boiler will be displayed. If the indicators are not displayed or flashing, this indicates a system shutdown.
• The ariston abs vls 80 water heater has the function of adjusting the power level, which makes it possible to set the required indicators.
• The ariston abs vls pw 80 water heater allows you to use the antibacterial function, which can be activated or deactivated by holding the “power” button for 5 seconds.
• The ability to adjust the temperature using the "+" or "-" buttons in the range from 30o to 75o; The set values ​​are not fixed. After switching on again, you need to set the values ​​​​again. Standard temperature values ​​​​are 75 °, power - 1500 watts.

Installation

Do-it-yourself installation of an Ariston water heater is a simple matter if you carefully read the instructions and follow its instructions. Of course, you can invite specialists who will do everything quickly and efficiently. The only “but” is the price of this service. For example, in Moscow it is from $100. Meanwhile, having minimal skills in working with plumbing, you can cope with this task in just 2-3 hours. Assuming you spend some money on consumables, the net savings is approximately $60.

When evaluating the pros and cons of installing a water heater with your own hands, consider the risk of flooding your neighbors from below, if something goes wrong, measure your strength. The advantages of self-solving this problem include:

• saving time and money;
• acquisition of skills that you will need in the process of operating the water heater.

Access to the storage water heater (boiler) must be absolutely free, and the wall for fastening must be strong, capable of withstanding double the weight (with a unit capacity of 50 liters, calculate the load of 100 kg). Determine the condition of your electrical wiring: is it capable of handling a significant additional load? For example, for a water heater of 2000 W, there should be a copper wire cross section of 2.5 mm².Keep in mind that if there are old water pipes in the apartment, sometimes you have to replace them first and only then connect the boiler. Find out how much current your electricity meter is designed for. If less than 40 A, you will have to replace it.

The best storage water heaters for 30 liters

In addition to a reliable brand, the buyer needs to immediately decide what capacity the device should have so that it is enough for domestic purposes. At a minimum, any storage electric water heaters have a volume of 30 liters. This is enough for daily dishwashing, hand washing, washing and economical shower / bath for one person. In a family of two or more people, you will have to wait for reheating. The main advantages of choosing a small volume water heater are low price, compactness and mobility.

How storage water heaters work

Storage water heaters are either gas or electric. Their principle of operation is similar, the only difference is that in the first version, a gas burner is responsible for heating the water, and in the second, an electric heating element. Gas-type water heaters are practically not popular, usually only electrical appliances can be found on sale.

Electric water heater storage type (boiler) is made on the principle of a thermos. The essence of the work is that cold water fills the tank and is heated with a heating element to a certain temperature, after which the heating element is turned off. The space between the tank and the body of the water heater is filled with a thick layer of insulation, which allows you to keep the high temperature and thus avoid reheating, and therefore reduce electricity costs.In this way, the boiler differs for the better from the instantaneous water heater, which, after switching on, constantly works and consumes electricity all the time. As soon as part of the hot water is drained in the boiler, it is immediately replaced by cold water, and the heating element is turned on again to heat the diluted liquid to the set temperature.

Electric boilers are pressure and non-pressure. Heaters of the first type require constant water pressure, but always provide hot water under good pressure. Non-pressure water heaters are used in cases where water is pumped when needed. These are outdated systems, but they are often bought for summer cottages, where people do not permanently live and therefore do not feel the need to build a full-fledged water supply. In such devices, hot water does not mix with cold water as quickly as in pressure water heaters, but it takes a long time to heat up due to low power.

The main advantage of water heaters of this brand is their manufacturability and exceptional workmanship.The scientific division has its own developments, which are immediately implemented in products. Those who appreciate modern devices should take a closer look at the devices of this manufacturer.

Important! Since heaters of this volume are mainly used in city apartments, it is advisable to choose models with antibacterial protection, since the quality of water in centralized communications leaves much to be desired

Boiler capacity

As for the specific volume of the tank, not all buyers represent exactly what volume they need. On the one hand, it seems that the larger the apartment, the larger the volume should be, but on the other hand, one can only partially agree with this. Choosing the maximum displacement, you will rarely use it to the maximum, especially since such a volume is costly and difficult to maintain.

The best option for simple apartments would be an Ariston water heater of 80 liters (Ariston INOX PW 80, Ariston VLS QH 80, Ariston ABS Slim 80). Its volume is more than enough to take a bath, while getting quite an acceptable temperature.

And if we are talking only about the shower, then 4 family members will be able to use hot water without problems. Moreover, a 120-liter boiler will cost almost twice as much as an 80-liter one, and not every room is suitable for installing a tank of this volume.

Helpful Tips

To protect the heater from high voltage in the network, you can connect the boiler through a control relay. If the set maximum is exceeded (for example, 220-230 V), it turns off the device, preventing the tube from burning out.With frequent jumps or too low voltage in the network, it is recommended to install a stabilizer.

In addition to the heating element and the anode, when disassembling it is advisable to pay attention to the rubber gaskets of the boiler. Timely replacement of sealing elements will prevent leaks

Before starting the boiler, you need to check it for leaks: collect, wipe dry, fill with water and let stand for 3-4 hours. If there are no traces of water on the body and connections, the device can be connected to the network.

Protective systems

Each storage electric water heater "Ariston" (100 liters) is equipped with protection systems. First of all, the manufacturer installed a special device that does not allow the device to turn on without water.

Also an important option is the safety shutdown function. The electrical part of the boiler is made in such a way as to completely prevent accidental electric shock.

More expensive options have bacterial protection

It is also very important to pay attention to the safety valve. Installation of the device without it is strictly prohibited. It is this device that helps to reduce internal pressure, which, with a record increase, can even lead to an explosion.
