Today, few people have a centralized hot water supply. In principle, at the moment, this is not very profitable for consumers, so the main assistant in the absence of centralized filing is the presence of a room, a house, an apartment of a water tank. There are several types of their species, but the most common among consumers is precisely the flow water heater, which we will talk about today and talk, and most importantly, find out how to choose such a tank correctly and what you need to know.
Advantages of flowing tanks
To begin with, each consumer wants to make sure that the tank, which he wants to acquire, really standing the goods and that he is not in vain will give money for him, and there are considerable. It is about this that first each consumer must analyze the available options so that in the end it will stop at an optimal version in his opinion.
In order not to regret your choice, you must be fully aware of all the characteristics of the flow water heater, about the principle of its work and other important details. First of all, I would like to note the following preferential characteristics of such a tank:
- Compactness - the dimensions of such a tank are very small, which, of course, cannot but rejoice the average consumer, the dimensions of the bathroom of which are left to desire the best.
- The constant supply of warm water - and here it does not even matter how many liters you installed a flow water heater. Be sure that you will constantly be provided with hot water.
- Low cost - compared to other types of tanks, such a tank has an affordable cost, and this often acts as a major factor that affects the choice of consumer.
Despite such obvious advantages, there are also disadvantages, and it is impossible to call it, because it is a lot of power consumption. In order not to be unfounded, we will give a typical example - you decided to take a shower. In order to do this in normal conditions under the jet of hot water, you will need to spend no less than 8kW of energy. Such a situation is possible only in the event. If your home or apartment is connected to a three-phase type electrical network.
It is for this reason that all those who live in fairly old houses (and such most such) acquire tanks with a capacity of 3.5 to 5.9 kW, which means that the possibilities of using all the functions of the tank in this case is limited.
Now, when they sorted out in all the qualitative characteristics of such a device, it is necessary to determine with the type of flow water heater and with the correctness of its choice.
We choose a flowing water heater
Despite the fact that at first glance it may seem to make a choice in this area is not easy, this is not the case, because in practice everything is quite simple, because such a tank is different:
- practicality - burning hot there is always
- safe - in operation it is completely safe, so that the consumer is not worried about
- simplicity of installation - I will cope with this task, even a newcomer in this matter
To date, there are several widows of the tanks under consideration, and to choose some specifically, it is necessary to figure it out in all more details:
- Pressure. Such tanks must be installed in the riser. The inclusion of such tanks automatically performs at the time of turning the crane to the "open" position.
- Performance tanks. The power of such tanks is not very big. Specialists suggest that it is better to use them in the warm season. Included with such a water heater there is a shower nozzle, because such tanks are used in the case of regular soul reception.
Before you choose a flow water heater, you must pay attention to the following parameters:
- Water consumption level (its maximum indicator) for the minimum time
- Type of water supply (individual system or central water)
- Power level of electricity
It should be understood that the power of the device under consideration depends directly on the performance of the heater. The consumer must decide how much power to choose the heater. Everything will depend on what needs it is acquired, and what type of electrical system is installed in a house or apartment (so that the power of the tank does not exceed the capabilities of the installed wiring).
If you install a tank for a handicraft, then a device with a capacity of 1.8 liters per minute will be enough. If you decide to install such a tank in the shower in the shower, then it is better to choose a 3.6 liter power device per minute.
If you can not independently decide on the choice of this device, then it is better to seek advice from a specialist who is in every specialized store.
The main criteria to consider when choosing the device under consideration:
- power water heater
- pricing policy (this criterion should be considered in any case)
In any case, do not make hasty solutions, think and only after that make a specific choice. Do not install too powerful water heaters on the old wiring, because it is fraught with serious negative consequences, simply can be left without electricity, and for a long time.
