Choose a high-quality storage heater

Selection Criteria

tank

firstwhat you need to decide - how much electric boiler to choose.It depends on how many people in the family and what the water heater will be used.To begin with talk about the purpose of water heating tank.

If you need to select the unit for the apartment, the hot water was when the heating season is over, primarily guided by the free space in the room (kitchen or bathroom).If space allows, you need to pick up a bathing water boiler capacity not less than 80 liters if a bathtub and 60 liters for the shower.Again, it is still associated with the number of people who are in need of an electric water heater, but more on that below.If the choice of the storage tank is carried out for washing dishes, you can choose the model for 10 or 15 liters, which is enough.

With regard to the number of residents in an apartment or a house, here, too, everything is ambiguous and depends on several factors.For example, it is possible even for a family of 4 people choose electric water heater of 60 liters, but in this case will have to wait until the water heats up after bathing each individual.In addition, a very important selection criterion is the bathing place - shower or bathtub.Naturally, it is much more economical to use the shower, you can spend about 15-20 liters of hot water, while in the bathroom will take at least 50 liters per person.On the basis of these nuances you need to choose the appropriate water heater.With regard to the average, we are guided by the following figures:

• one person is enough to pick up a tank volume of no more than 50 liters;
• for a family of two or three, select the device to 80 liters;
• if the family has 4 or more guests, the amount of cumulative electric boiler to choose at least 120 liters.

so you know, there are water heaters of up to 300 liters, but the price of such models is quite high.The most popular value is considered to be a 100-liter tank, which buy both for private homes as well as to give.

Power

Next boiler selection criteria - the power of PETN.In 2016, this characteristic can be set from 1 to 6 kW, with water heater connection may be a single-phase or three-phase network.To choose the right electrical power vodogreyki, first of all we need to focus on the wiring in the house.If the wiring is new and capable of withstanding a load of 6 kW, the power is selected only on the basis of needs (the more powerful heating elements, the faster the heating of water, but power consumption is more).If the wiring in the house or apartment is old, the maximum that you can count - Model 2.5 kW.

draw your attention to the fact that the most optimal value is a power of 2 kW.In this case, the water will be heated for about 3 hours to a maximum temperature that is not too long.

Internal coating

Everything is simple - cheap water heaters are available with glass or enamel.In the more expensive electric vodogreykah used stainless steel or titanium plating.Which embodiment of the boiler is better to choose, decide for yourself, but keep in mind the following features:

1. warranty period for storage in stainless steel tanks above.
2. there are negative reviews on online forums, they say, stainless steel adversely affect the taste and smell of hot water, but this issue is very controversial.
3. At present steel tanks weld, which can leak over time.The issue is also controversial, because the warranty period for such models are more durable.

Yet all modern storage water heaters are made of steel, and therefore, we recommend that you choose a version for homes, apartments or cottages!By the way, one can determine the quality of the boiler by weight - the heavier the tank, the thickness of its wall, and accordingly, better corrosion resistance.

Additional options

also like to highlight certain point some useful tips on choosing a high-quality electric vodogreyki:

• storage water heaters can be a wet or dry Tan.The advantage of the latter option - prevents contact with the water (and hence the formation of scale), reduce the risk of electric shock (the heater is in a sealed tube).
• Pay attention to the insulation layer of the tank.Than it is thicker, the longer it will retain heat boiler.If you want to wisely choose a quality electric water heater for home use, consider a model with insulation thickness less than 35 mm.As for the thermal insulation, it is better that it be provided with polyurethane foam, which is an order of magnitude superior to foam.
• When selecting devices know that it must include the magnesium anode function is fast heating, power indicator and most importantly - protection against overheating.Also in the current models can be equipped with frost protection mode that will be a nice addition when purchasing electrical funded vodogreyki to testify.
• There is a special level of protection the IP, which shows how the appliance is protected against moisture and dust.So the water heater must have an IP index of at least 24. For tub and bath is better to choose a model with a protection degree of IP25.

By the way, did you know that the boiler can even be used for heating?On this issue, we talked a little bit in this article - how to make low-cost heating in the wooden house.
