Criteria for choosing water heaters

When choosing equipment for heating water, you first need to determine its type. If you have a central water supply, then it is better to give preference to a flow-through water heater. He instantly heats the water that passes through it. Advantages of flowing models are unlimited supply of hot water, as well as compact dimensions.

Accumulative water heaters are convenient for rooms where there is no water supply. They have a special tank in which water accumulates and its temperature is maintained. The disadvantage of such equipment is its large size because of the tank in which the water is heated.In addition, you will have to wait a while until the water reaches the desired temperature.

The manufacturer of water heaters is also important. From the reviews you can find out about the advantages and disadvantages of different brands. On sale there are water heaters "Ariston", "Edison", "Termeks", "Timberg", "Electrolux", "Atlantic", "Guarantorme", "Hyer", "Delimano", "Burning", "Polaris", "Oasis "," AEG. "

Other parameters to consider when choosing a water heater include:

Way of fastening. Often it depends on the model of the water heater. The storage device is difficult to hang on the wall, but compact flow-through models may well be attached to the wall or placed on the floor.

Power. The rate of heating of water depends on this indicator. The more powerful the water heater, the faster the water will heat in it and the more expensive it will cost. Devices with power up to 65 kW are produced.

Tank volume in storage heaters. For home use at one point (for example, in the kitchen), you can choose a small five-liter heater. If you need to provide a large number of people with hot water, there are models with a capacity of up to 1000 liters.

Heating temperature. For domestic use, water rarely requires temperatures above 50 degrees, so it makes no sense to buy more powerful expensive models that are able to supply practically boiling water to the tap. Typically, heaters with a maximum temperature of 90 degrees are used in industry, and household heat water to lower temperatures.

If you choose to pay attention to all these parameters and back up your knowledge with reviews about water heaters, then the purchase will be successful.
