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
In the technology market, various types of boilers are presented depending on various factors.
According to the principle of action, all devices designed for heating water can be divided into storage and flow.
According to the source of energy that is spent on heating the water, the equipment is classified into gas and electric.
Depending on the type of installation, you can purchase vertical, horizontal, wall and floor appliances.
Main characteristics
The most important characteristics for any water heater are power and the number of modes. If we are talking about 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 power.
When choosing water heaters, it is also recommended to consider the following characteristics:
- temperature regulation range;
- dimensions;
- the material of which the heating element is made;
- tank metal;
- type of heater.
The characteristics of different models can differ significantly from each other. The maximum power of flowing heaters varies from 3.5 to 20 kW. You can find a model with three power levels.
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. Flowing 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 the storage tanks of Electrolux. Before choosing a device for yourself, you need to analyze its advantages and disadvantages.
The main advantages of such equipment are:
- Resistance of the tank coating to corrosion. This property is ensured by the use of argon welding for models made of stainless steel.
- 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 on which the heating temperature is displayed.
- Profitability - this function is due to the ability to regulate modes of operation and reduce energy consumption. The consumer can choose a less expensive mode.
- Long life of heating elements. Electrolux uses nickel-plated copper heating elements in its tanks. Due to this, the working life of boilers increases. Some models have additional protection in the form of a magnesium anode. It prevents the formation of calcareous deposits.
There are also disadvantages in such water heaters. Not always a magnesium anode is able to protect the heater from corrosion. Impurities are present in the water that cause its damage even with a short service life. There is also a risk of acquiring a low-quality boiler, as part of the production is located in China.
Connection and maintenance
The main part of the Electrolux boilers is mounted vertically on the wall, but you can also find models with horizontal placement. In their name will be the letter "H". The manufacturer also produces universal models that imply both types of installation.
The Electrolux boiler with a volume of 50 liters or more is available with a lower inlet for cold water and an outlet for hot water. Before installing and starting operation, it is recommended that you carefully read the instructions. It spells out all the rules for fastening, connecting safety valves.
The Electrolux heater is sold complete with a bracket on which the tank should be mounted. Also included are fasteners.
It is recommended to use flexible connectors or metal-plastic pipes with fittings for mounting the water outlet. Rigid pipes are not recommended, as they can damage the joints.
Boiler repair
Electrolux boilers have established themselves as reliable equipment. Owners may encounter leakage problems in connection points due to improper installation. Such problems can be easily fixed on their own by determining the cause.
With the formation of scale and very hard water, failure of the heating elements is possible. If dry heating elements burn out, you can replace them yourself at home.
