3 best geysers

Can you imagine life without hot water? The comfort of our home directly depends on the installed technology. If you decide not to depend on utilities, use resources sparingly and not overpay, then it is important to choose the right equipment.

Geysers “Rossiyanka” are represented by a small number of models. But they are all assembled in Russia, which means they are fully adapted to local conditions. Curious to know what’s special about the columns? We will tell you the details in the publication.

Features of the flow heater “Rossiyanka-M”

The devices have been on the market since 2011. All products have received a certificate from the State Standard of Russia.

If you are familiar with frequent pressure drops in the gas pipeline, when most heaters stop working, then Rossiyanka-M is what you need. The columns continue to operate at a minimum line pressure of 0,1 atm.

Depending on the model, the capacity of the heaters ranges from 5 to 14 liters per minute. They work on a flow principle. This means that there is no storage tank inside and the water heats up instantly. When the mixer is opened, the liquid passes through the heat exchanger, reaches the set temperature and exits the tap.

Heating is started by means of electric or piezo ignition. In the first case, with electric ignition, it is enough to open the mixer, as the burner ignites. In the second, with piezo ignition, you need to press the piezo button until a spark is struck.

Convenient mechanical control in the form of regulators will be understandable even to those people who have not previously had experience with the column.

Rossiyanka-M units are presented only with open combustion chambers. Therefore, they require connection to a stationary chimney. The flame in the burner is maintained by the air from the room. Good ventilation is essential for stable operation.

The manufacturer installed safety sensors and valves. So the column is protected from overheating, gas leakage or high pressure. The heat exchanger is made of materials that are not susceptible to scale formation.

Models overview

After studying user reviews, we came to the conclusion that not everyone can figure out the instructions for connecting the unit. In this case, contact the gas service. Remember that it is forbidden to crash into the highway on your own and connect the equipment to the gas. A specialist on site will carry out the installation and acquaint you with the features of the operation of the dispenser.

If you decide to opt for a domestic manufacturer of heaters, then it will be interesting to know the characteristics of the models. These days, they are hard to find in stores. Therefore, we do not indicate the pricing policy. You can contact the supplier of Rossiyanka-M equipment directly or make a request in the online store.

“Rossiyanka” HSV-5 mini

The only model in the series that does not require a chimney connection. Its low performance ensures stable operation with normal ventilation in the room.

VPG-5 mini is suitable for household needs. Therefore, it is better to install it in the country or use it as an additional source of hot water. The design includes a temperature sensor against overheating and a safety valve.

“Rossiyanka” HSV-E 

Belongs to the category of speakers with an increased level of comfort. Electronic ignition is convenient in daily use. No need to hold the ignition button every time, just open the mixer and wait for hot water. An open combustion chamber requires connection to a chimney.

A thermostat and a modulating burner are provided to maintain the set temperature. The performance is sufficient for taking a shower and washing dishes at a comfortable temperature. Gas control protection protects equipment from fuel leakage. When the temperature is exceeded, the overheating protection is activated.

“Rossiyanka” HSV-24

One of the most powerful water heaters in the series. Great for multiple pickup points and a family of 3-4. The burner is ignited by a piezoelectric element. The water flow regulator allows you to save on consumption.

The security system provides:

• Pressure relief valve.
• Temperature sensor as protection against overheating.
• Gas control.

Gas column malfunctions

The service life of the water heater directly depends on the timeliness of maintenance and operating conditions. If the device is out of order, you can repair it yourself.

The water heater does not heat water well. Inspect the water filters for blockage, check the flow switch. Often these parts are clogged with rust, debris, deposits. Clean them, and replace the worn parts with new parts. The filter mesh can be soaked in a solution of citric acid, and then rinsed with running water.

The heat exchanger is also checked. Scale may accumulate on the walls of the coil. Plaque impairs heat transfer, causing the water inside to boil. This leads not only to poor heating, but also to combustion of the assembly. Pumping with a reagent pump will help get rid of scale. And to avoid its occurrence, install magnetic filters.

Does not ignite. The most common cause in open chamber heaters is poor draft. It contributes to the removal of combustion products, as well as the supply of combustion air. Check what:

• Chimney for the accumulation of soot, soot, debris. For cleaning, it is better to contact the utilities.
• Room for ventilation. Open the window, check the ventilation holes for clogging.
• Filters and water node membrane. The water pressure is not enough to act on the membrane and ignite. If the diaphragm is damaged, worn out, replace it with a new part. Clean the filter. Wait until the pressure in the water supply is restored.
• Batteries. Do you have an electric igniter? Perhaps the batteries are dead. Carry out a replacement.

Sometimes the reason for the lack of heating is banal – the mixing of flows. Simultaneous switching on of cold and hot water leads to the extinguishing of the burner. Set a comfortable temperature on the regulator and open the mixer only when it is hot.

These are the main causes of problems with the operation of the Rossiyanka equipment. Choosing a geyser of the “economy” segment does not mean saving on safety. Today, all models are equipped with control sensors. It is important to determine the performance and power that will be enough for your family.
