The owners of private houses who do not have the opportunity to connect to the central hot water supply are faced with the task of providing the house with hot water. To solve this problem, you can purchase a boiler. Among the various brands, the Electrolux heater is especially popular.
Varieties of boilers Electrolux
There are various types of boilers on the equipment market, depending on various factors.
According to the principle of operation, all devices designed for heating water can be divided into storage and flow-through.
According to the source of energy, which is spent on heating water, the equipment is classified into gas and electric.
Depending on the type of installation, vertical, horizontal, wall and floor devices can be purchased.
Main characteristics
The most important characteristics for any water heater are power and number of modes. When it comes to a flow heater, an important parameter for such a device is the measurement of productivity in liters per minute. For storage water heaters, one of the leading characteristics is their capacity.
When choosing water heaters, it is also recommended to consider the following characteristics:
- temperature control range;
- dimensions;
- the material from which the heating element is made;
- tank metal;
- heater type.
The characteristics of different models may differ significantly from each other. The maximum power of the flow heaters varies from 3.5 to 20 kW. A model with three power levels can be found.
For storage water heaters, the heating time to the maximum temperature is important. It depends on the volume of the tank and the power of the heating elements and can vary from 20 minutes to 5 hours. Most often, water heaters of the Electrolux system are equipped with a temperature controller in the range from 30 to 70 degrees. Instantaneous electric water heaters vary from 20 to 50 degrees.
The main characteristic of the Electrolux water heater is its compact size and low weight. The volume of accumulated water heaters can vary from 10 to 200 liters.
Advantages and disadvantages
The most popular among consumers are storage water heaters from Electrolux. Before choosing a device for yourself, you need to analyze its advantages and disadvantages.
The main advantages of such equipment are:
- Corrosion resistance of the tank coating. This property is achieved by using argon welding on stainless steel models.
- Multi-stage control system. It prevents damage to the boiler due to overheating or lack of water.
- Ergonomic shape.
- Convenient management. Depending on the model, it can be carried out mechanically or using a remote control that displays the heating temperature.
- Efficiency - this function is due to the ability to regulate the modes of operation and reduce energy consumption. The consumer can choose the less expensive mode himself.
- Long service life of heating elements. Electrolux uses nickel-plated copper heating elements in its tanks.This increases the working life of the boilers. In some models, additional protection is installed in the form of a magnesium anode. It prevents the formation of limescale deposits.
There are also disadvantages in such water heaters. The magnesium anode is not always able to protect the heating element from corrosion. There are impurities in the water that cause damage even with a short service life. There is also a risk of purchasing a poor quality boiler, since part of the production is located in China.
Connection and maintenance
The main part of Electrolux boilers is mounted vertically on the wall, but you can also find models with horizontal placement. Their name will contain the letter "H". The manufacturer also produces universal models that imply both types of installation.
Boiler Electrolux with a volume of 50 liters and above is produced with a bottom inlet for cold water and a outlet for hot water. It is recommended to carefully study the instructions before installation and operation. It contains all the rules for fastening, connecting safety valves.
The Electrolux heater is sold complete with a bracket on which the tank is to be attached. The kit also includes fasteners.
It is recommended to use flexible pipes or metal-plastic pipes with fittings for the installation of the water outlet. Rigid pipes are not recommended as they can compromise the tightness at the joints.
Boiler repair
Boilers Electrolux have established themselves as reliable equipment. Hosts may face the problem of leakage at the connecting points due to improper installation. It is easy to fix such problems yourself by identifying the cause.
In the event of scale formation and very hard water, the heating elements may fail. If dry heating elements burn out, you can replace them yourself at home.
