Varieties of Boilers
Termex offers a wide selection of devices with different characteristics, properties and sizes. At the moment, 4 types of electric boilers are produced:
- flow heaters;
- storage tanks;
- indirect heating boilers;
- flow-storage.
The most popular are cumulative models.
Features of storage tanks
The company produces 11 model lines of equipment of this type. They vary in material, capacity, power. The first line includes 12 cylindrical devices with a capacity of 10 to 300 liters. In the second row there are 7 products per 30-80 liters. Both lines are equipped with a steel tank, which has an inner coating of glass-porcelain enamel. They are easy to use and have a minimum of automated devices.
Thermex Sprint range is available, which has an enameled steel container in the form of a rectangle. The volume is 30-100 liters. There is a turbo heating function.
The remaining lines are equipped with a stainless steel tank.
Also, storage boilers are selected according to the following criteria:
- Installation method. It happens vertical and horizontal.
- Functional. A device may have several options or perform one function.
Termex company provides a wide range of products for any conditions and any budget.
Features of flow-through and flow-heating boilers
Flowing water heaters are divided into two model series. The first is represented by six models with power from 3.5 kW to 7 kW, the second also by six types with power from 6 kW to 10 kW. All of them are hung on the wall and have a rectangular shape.
Flow-storage devices are made in the form of a drop and can only be mounted on the wall. Their maximum power is 2.5 kW, and the tank volume is up to 30 liters.

Boiler device
The water heater is a complex technical device, which consists of the following elements:
- External housing. Usually it is steel, but small devices up to 15 liters can be made of plastic.
- Stainless steel hot water intake pipe.
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel inner tank.
- Magnesium Anode Prevents the development of corrosion on metal parts in contact with water.
- Support flange made of steel.It is a mounting of the heater, anode and thermostat.
- The temperature controller is a thermostat. Monitors the maintenance of the set water temperature. Automatically turns on and off heating fluid.
- Cold water pipe from steel.
- Thermal insulation. Allows longer to keep warm water in a tank.
The Termex electric water heater can be equipped with automation to control the process.
Advantages of Termex water heaters
Termex boilers have a number of positive qualities:
- Coating the inside of the electric boiler with an anti-corrosion material - bio-glass-porcelain.
- The presence of anodes against scale. Their number is equal to the number of heating devices in the apparatus.
- A wide range of heaters with various modifications, functional features and properties.
- The presence of thermal insulation in the tank from high-tech polyurethane foam.
- Long-term storage of heat, thereby significantly saving energy.
- Easy installation. Thermex water heater installation instructions with a detailed description of the step-by-step algorithm are included in the kit. Convenient and intuitive guide to connecting and configuring.
Flow heaters have the following advantages:
- The presence of wear-resistant copper heat exchanger. Its validity is unlimited.
- Multistage protection of heating elements.
- Quick installation and setup of the boiler.
- Existence of a protective plastic case at the heat exchanger.
- Devices are equipped with high-class automation.
Due to their advantages, boilers are popular with consumers.
Volume Definition
Before choosing a device, it is important to calculate how much water it should be designed for. Volume depends on the number of people living in the house. It is also taken into account whether the Termex heater is the main source of hot water or is used as a backup heater.
The estimated volume of water for a trip to the shower of one person is 20 liters. For a family of three, this value is 60 liters. For washing dishes, an average of 12 liters is required. As a result, after the simplest calculations, we can conclude that a tank with a minimum capacity of 72 liters of liquid is required. According to the same scheme, devices for other purposes and a different number of people can be calculated. In case of insufficient tank volume, the owner of the boiler will overpay for electricity.
Flowing products are selected by capacity. The higher it is, the more water will heat the boiler in less time.
Connection of a boiler of Termeks
Features of the boiler connection depend on the specific model. The exact work plan is in the instructions for the heater. The general connection scheme is as follows:
- Closing constipation, preventing the transfer of hot water from the riser, before switching on. Otherwise, there is a risk of heating not only the device, but the entire pipeline.
- Filling the tank with water. To squeeze out air, you must first connect the tap at the bottom outlet, then the mixer and then the entrance to the water heater.
- With an even continuous flow of water, you can turn off the faucet on the mixer.
- Turning on the device in the network, setting the settings.
After connecting after two hours, you can use hot water. Before you turn off the demo mode on the Termex water heater, you need to test the system.
Reasons the heater is not working
Installation is permissible only if the electrical network, sockets, circuit breakers and the presence of cables of the desired section are in good condition. If after connecting the boiler does not work, you need to check the power supply:
- Using the tester, the functionality of the outlet is checked.
- Checking the correct connection of the terminals.
If the Thermex is powered, but the system gives an error, user instructions are required.You can find a trouble code and how to fix it in it.
If the user does not have initial skills in working with electrical devices, troubleshooting is prohibited on their own. You need to contact a service center under warranty to replace a broken part or to replace a faulty device.
Terms of Use
In order for the Thermex boiler to work out the stated period, you need to use it correctly. Instructions are included. All additional parts, valves must comply with the pipeline and have certificates confirming the quality standard.
According to the instructions, it is forbidden to do the following:
- Connect the tank until it is full of water.
- Connect the device without grounding to a faulty network.
- Use the water heated in the boiler for cooking. It does not pass through the cleaning filters, therefore it can be harmful to health.
- Drain the tank when connected to the mains.
- Connect device without safety valve.
- Remove the protection cover when the heater is plugged in.
- Use in pipelines with a pressure of more than 6 atmospheres.
- Replacing the heater in a Termex water heater is carried out only by a specialist.
