Geyser rating: 12 leading models + recommendations for future owners

2 Gorenje GWH 10 NNBW

Gorenje GWH 10 NNBW is considered the best gas water heater with the ability to connect several pressure points. This is a simple pressure water heater that can supply hot water to several consumers at once. The power of the device is 20 kW, which allows you to quickly heat a large volume to the required temperature in a short period of time. The gas is ignited by electrical ignition.

Among the advantages of this model in the reviews, buyers list a copper radiator, low noise during operation and a pleasant appearance.To ensure the safety of operation, the "gas control" function is provided, which eliminates possible gas leaks. To ensure that the coolant is supplied clean and its quality does not affect the life of the column, special filters are installed at the inlet. To track indicators, a small display is provided, where the current temperature is displayed and the power indicator is located. Among the main disadvantages are the low quality of materials and the difficulty in replacing filters.

1 Ariston Fast Evo 11C

Gas water heaters equipped with constant power burners require manual temperature adjustment with each pressure change. Columns "Ariston", unlike them, are able to maintain the specified parameters independently and regardless of how many taps are open. And it's really very convenient. Ignition also occurs automatically, with the help of electric ignition, the power source of which is a 220V household network. If the user lives in a city apartment, and there are no particular problems with the supply of electricity, volatility is quite a good option to save on batteries.

However, not all reviews are equally positive. In some, they blame the failure of the radiator after 3 years of operation - they say, it leaked or burned out. To prevent this, experts recommend that future users carefully install the device and set it to pressure according to the instructions or use the services of a service center master with access to gas equipment. In this case, the column works correctly and absolutely does not require attention.

How to choose a good model for an apartment?

The most important criterion when choosing a model of a flowing geyser is its performance - the flow rate of liters of water per minute.The higher this indicator, the more efficient the water supply in the column will be. However, it is worth noting that a good geyser does not necessarily have to have maximum performance in the technical data sheet. Everything is directly proportional to several factors: the number of people living in the apartment, how many of them need to use hot water at the same time, as well as the number of mixers.

Another important criterion is thermal power. This indicator will help you figure out how many sources a gas water heater can provide with hot water at the same time. The minimum indicator is a mark of 17 kW - this type of water heater is able to ensure the operation of one mixer.

It is worth noting the criterion for the type of ignition of the gas column. The best option would be a water heater with electric or piezo ignition. They are automated and do not cause operational inconvenience to owners. To date, they are the most economical and modern, in contrast to the already out of circulation columns with a manual type of ignition.

The key factors when choosing a device can also be: weight, design, equipment dimensions, type of communications, equipment, a set of automated protective functions and, of course, average column price. Together, all these indicators should correspond to a certain type of use - it is best to consult with the seller of the intended place of purchase to determine the optimal model of the water heater.

The case is equipped with an LED display, electronic ignition, which requires two batteries. Here you can adjust the performance and heating temperature.

What to consider when choosing?

When choosing a geyser, it is necessary to take into account a number of basic characteristics that heating equipment should have:

• power;
• ignition type;
• burner type;
• type of removal of combustion products;
• safety.

Power is one of the most important characteristics that must be taken into account when choice of heating equipment. Power determines the overall performance of equipment. In other words, it sets the amount of water that a geyser can handle in a certain time interval. The geyser is designed for power from 6 to 32 kW. It is worth noting that the power of an electric water heater is from 1.5 to 3 kW.

Therefore, depending on the number of kW, power is divided into three types:

• small (from 6 to 19 kW);
• medium (from 20 to 28 kW);
• high (from 29 to 32 kW).

The type of ignition is also an important characteristic that can influence the purchase decision. If earlier, matches and lighters were used to light the device, now modern models offer an improved ignition system.

There are two types of systems: semi-automatic and automatic.

On the one hand, the semi-automatic type of columns entails a significant gas consumption. This is due to the fact that the wick cannot be turned off. To turn it on, you must press the piezo ignition button. On the other hand, the automatic type of columns not only reduces gas consumption, but also starts up extremely simply. To start such a system, you need to open a hot water tap.

Do not lose sight of the type of burner, which is found in two types: with constant power and with control.It is inconvenient to use burners with a constant power, as you have to adjust it yourself. This can be explained by the fact that the pressure of water is constantly changing and entails a change in temperature. Therefore, burners with simulated temperature successfully cope with this problem. They self-adjust to the changing pressure.

The type of removal of combustion products is not a fundamental characteristic that has a significant impact choice of technology. However, it is recommended to study this characteristic in order to make the right choice. There are two types of it: chimney and turbocharged. On the one hand, a chimney column is needed only in one case: if it is possible to bring the tubular channel into an existing chimney. On the other hand, turbocharged devices are not popular, as there is a risk of freezing if the temperature is below zero outside.

The key issue is security. Speakers must be equipped with several levels of protection. For example, modern speakers have three levels of protection. Each of them is necessary in various unforeseen situations.

Therefore, you need to pay attention to the presence of protective sensors, since the high safety of the product is a guarantee of reliability and quality.

However, there are factors that have a secondary influence on the decision to purchase an electric water heater:

• the size;
• the form.

The size of the gas column does not play a big role, but this factor must be taken into account. The size of the column is determined by the scale of the room. If the room allows you to install a large column, then choose the appropriate size.

conclusions

Summing up, I would like to say that in fact there is nothing complicated in the topic of choosing a geyser. The main thing is to take into account the number of water intake points and the water pressure in the pipeline system. If there are several points, take a column with medium or high power. If there is little pressure in the pipes, then put an additional pump. You can find worthy manufacturing companies in the review above, of course, the matter is not limited to them, besides them, there are: Vector, Astra, Gorenje, Mora Vega, Neva Lux, Electrolux and so on.

Security is an important aspect. And again, everything is provided in modern speakers, but for reliability, you can make sure that the column is blocked in the absence of thrust, reverse thrust, extinct flame and is protected from overheating.

Try to choose options with modern types of ignition, however, all companies that keep up with the times set them by default. To avoid problems with water heating, choose a burner with modulating output. For installation and configuration of equipment, contact the experts. If the water is too hard, it is advisable to use special anti-scale agents. Now you just have to follow the recommendations written in the instructions for the equipment and periodically clean it. All this increases the chances that the column will serve you for a long time.
