Progress is, in fact, the desire of a person to create comfortable conditions for himself. And there is nothing wrong with that. Is it nice to wash your hands with cold water? If you think that there is nothing terrible in this, reread these lines five days after the seasonal shutdown of hot water in your home. Changed his mind? Then it's time to choose a water heater!
What are water heaters
Globally, these devices are flowing and cumulative. The first warm water in real time, that is, in fact at the time of use. The second acts on the principle of the thermos - water is recruited in them, heats up to a certain temperature and then this temperature is supported by a certain time.What is the difference between them?
Flowing is indispensable when you do not have a lot of water consumption. For example, to take a shower or wash the dishes of such an apparatus. But if you have small children or hot water is disconnected for a long time, then hot water is needed regularly in large volumes. And to solve this problem, the accumulative water heater is suitable.
Flowing water heaters
Where to place
For example, the ARISTON AURES Slim Multi running water heater is a compact box (size 30.4-17.8-9.8 cm) - can easily be placed in any, even a very small bathroom. It is fastened not far from the water break point and allows you to use hot water at the same time in three places. For example, you can connect the shower, a crane in the sink and in the bathroom. Will withdraw and connect to the same device. There will be no crane in the kitchen.What you need to know
The efficiency of the device directly depends on its power. For example, Ariston Aures Slim Multi is 7.7 kW and it means that such a device provides a good hot water consumption, but it needs good wiring. Old, thin wires will overheat, which is dangerous. And in the case of dacha, you can not even put in the selected limits.
But the model ARISTON AURES SLIM is a power of 3.5 kW, which is suitable for one point of water-based, and not so critical for the wiring of the energy supply limits.
Flowing water heaters make it easier to merge after use. This moment does not matter when operating the device in an urban apartment, in which the a priori temperature does not fall below zero, and for the country house it is fundamentally. If you leave water in the water heater and do not prepare it to the winter season, then the heartless laws of physics will make their job and the device in the end can just break - the liquid freezes and expands, everything is honest.
In this regard, flow water heaters are more protected and prepared for country life.
Cumulative water heaters
Where to place
Compared to flow, these aggregates look more massive, and they are not so fast. But they are slow to name the language does not turn. For example, the accumulative water heater ARISTON ABS VELIS EVO PW O after switching on heats water for the first soul in just 46 minutes!
To one storage device you can make a layout. So the water will be in the bathroom, and in the kitchen. That is, one water heater at 80 l can easily provide hot water a two-storey country house.
What you need to know
Modern accumulative water heaters can be programmed - set the heating temperature, the heating time (for example, it can be made so that the main heating occurs during the night when low electricity rates are operating). So makes one of the Ariston models - ABS Velis EVO Wi-Fi. And they can be controlled using a smartphone.

Traditionally, the tanks of heaters are attached vertically. This creates certain restrictions when you have to choose where to hang the device. And Velis water heaters can also be hung horizontally, so it can be placed in any convenient location.
In everyday life, cumulative water heaters are called boilers. Manufacturers provide them with safety valves. They are needed to dump water into the sewer system. Imagine: the tank is filled with water and heats up. Water expands. So that it is not broken at that moment, the surplus goes into a special drain. When installing the tank, it is recommended to attach transparent tubes to valves - it allows you to control the discharge of water. But it is important that the tube is somewhere derived. Otherwise, the entire liquid spoiled by the device will turn out to be on the wall or on the floor.
