The problem of lack of access to the resources of a centralized hot water supply system can be solved using a storage boiler with a large tank
This appliance is suitable for use both as a main and as an additional source of hot water. It can come in handy during scheduled diagnostic or repair work on the pipeline.
When choosing an electric boiler with a cumulative principle of operation, it is important to take into account many nuances. What exactly should its future owner know about?
Relationship between quality and manufacturer's reputation
The performance characteristics of climatic devices largely depend on the developer's approach to production processes. To understand that a device is from a trusted brand, you need to:
- get acquainted with the history of its appearance and formation;
- study the pricing policy and find user reviews on the network;
- find out where the factories are located, which assemble branded storage boilers.
Dependence of the tank volume on the number of users
Everything is much easier than it seems! The capacity of the water tank provided in the unit configuration is directly proportional to the number of subscribers. The more people need the resources of the boiler, the more capacious the tank should be:
- the optimal volume for 1 user is from 30 to 50 liters;
- for two or three subscribers, a device with an 80-liter tank is sufficient;
- for a large family, a model equipped with a 100-200 liter tank is required.
Effect of power on efficiency
The power indicators of the water heater affect its efficiency and, accordingly, the rate of water heating.
Devices with a power of more than 2500 watts cope with the preparation of a liquid of the optimal temperature for bathing or performing any household tasks.
Type of heating element and corrosion processes
Devices with a "wet" heating element are more susceptible to wear due to the appearance of scale and corrosion. It is very easy to explain this pattern: due to constant contact with water, various microparticles and impurities accumulate on the surface of the heating element during operation, which lead to premature wear. The "dry" heating element is protected from direct contacts with the liquid, therefore, it is practically not exposed to the effects of corrosive processes.
Tank material and service life
If you want to get a device that can play the role of the main or auxiliary source of hot water for a long time, it is advisable to choose models with a steel tank. The best coating option is damage-resistant enamel or titanium sputtering.
Knowledge of the subtleties mentioned above allows you to successfully cope with the choice of a climatic device (device for water heating), even without outside help.
