3 best geysers Beretta

Geyser “Beretta” – products of an Italian manufacturer. Beretta supplies water heaters of various modifications to the Russian market: classic and turbocharged, with piezo and electric ignition. All models are highly economical and have a powerful heat exchanger that can heat up to 17 liters of water per minute.

About Us

Beretta is part of a large concern RIELLO SpA Under this brand, consumers are offered heating equipment and instantaneous water heaters. RIELLO was founded in 1920. “Beretta” has been its link since 1996. She herself was founded in 1950. Today the company has 4 factories located in Italy.

It supplies products adapted to Russian operating conditions. Beretta speakers belong to the household class, they are of high quality, functional, reliable and safe.

Advantages

Italian water heaters are distinguished by enviable consumer characteristics, therefore they are in demand among buyers. Pros:

• Profitability – gas consumption is only during the period of water intake. When there is no water consumption, no fuel is consumed.
• Convenient temperature control. Comfortable bathing involves the correction of water heating. It can be changed in two ways – a mixer in the bathroom (sink) or a regulator located on the body.
• Any installation option – you can take the version with a floor installation or with a wall.
• Full adaptation to the conditions of gas and water supply.
• Compactness. These devices are usually placed in the kitchen, where it is often crowded, and therefore small sizes are welcome.
• High quality heat exchanger. Strong and durable.
• Modeling burner with stepless power control.
• Almost silent operation.
• They operate at low pressure in the water supply – 0,2 bar.
• The service life is 20 years.
• Simple operation and maintenance.

According to user reviews, Beretta products have only one drawback – impressive dimensions. But these are subjective assessments, as well as the price – it may seem exorbitant to some, moderate to others. So, in the Beretta Idrabagno Aqua lineup, the cost fluctuates around 17–000 rubles.

Safety system

Beretta speakers are reliably protected from any troubles – if problems arise, the equipment is turned off:

• If the burner goes out for any reason, the safety valve will work – it will shut off the gas supply.
• If suddenly combustion products begin to penetrate into the room, the exhaust gas sensor will respond.
• If the liquid starts to heat up above the critical value, the protection will work – the device will turn off.

The protection system will work in any dangerous situation – if the draft is lost or the heat exchanger overheats. Shutdown occurs – accident averted. All Beretta products comply with European standards and have ISO 9001 and GOST RF certificates.

How to choose power

All water heaters running on gas – natural or liquefied – have approximately the same device and work on the same principle. Therefore, when choosing an option, the buyer should focus on their technical characteristics. The proposed versions are classified by power, on which depends:

• how much liquid will be heated per unit time;
• how many points of water intake can be simultaneously provided with hot water;
• what will be the heat output.

The buyer, choosing a column, must proceed from the number of water intake points that he expects to connect to it:

• for one point, 17–19 kW is enough;
• for two – 22–24 kW;
• for three – 28–31 kW.

When choosing power, the buyer needs to consider:

1. Your needs for hot water supply – how many points of water intake, how much and how often hot water is used in the house.
2. Cold flow rate at the inlet. So, if the water flows at a rate of 7 l / min, and the device is designed for 14 or more l / min, the device will not work at full capacity – why pay for a more powerful and expensive version in vain?

Ignition type

Beretta devices are:

1. With piezo ignition – like Idrabagno Aqua 11. In it, the wick burns constantly, and when the ignition button is pressed, the burner turns on.
2. With electric ignition – like Idrabagno 17 ESI. The advantage of this method is the absence of a constantly burning igniter. Less gas consumption. Electricity is obtained from batteries or from a hydro turbine. The latter uses the energy of the water flow passing through it. As soon as the tap is closed, the water heater is turned off – gas and electricity are not consumed.

Versions with ignition from a hydro turbine are not recommended for home use:

• they spend more electricity;
• they need a quality pipeline – preferably a new one;
• for uninterrupted operation, they need high-quality water: if suspensions enter the system, it can fail;
• require expensive spare parts that must be ordered from the manufacturer and wait a long time.

What should be the heating

If the gas pressure is set correctly, the outlet water flow will not exceed 75°C, so users are protected from burns. The temperature felt by a person is a subjective factor. It is believed that it is comfortable to wash under the shower at 38–41 ° C. The temperature of a hot shower or bath is rarely over 45°C.

If you set the heating control to the “maximum” position, then the flow volume will be halved – compared to the position of the regulator in the “minimum” position. So, if the performance of Idrabagno 14 is 14 l / min, then this is 35 ° C. If the user wants hot water – 60 ° C, the performance will drop to 7 l / min. When the regulator is moved, the volume of liquid flowing through the device does not change abruptly, but gradually.

Adjustment methods

There are two ways to adjust the heating – with a regulator on the device itself or with a mixer in the sink, shower. Thanks to the automatic adjustment of the burner power, cold water mixing can be done without any damage to the system. If the adjustment is performed by the control knobs, you can smoothly change the heating in the range of 35–60°C (the conditional range for the inlet temperature is 10°C, and it can vary within 5–15°C).

A smooth power adjustment is provided – the intensity of combustion varies depending on the volume of water flow passing through the system. Reliable – there is a safety circuit that monitors the quality of smoke removal and the presence of fire in the burner.

Thanks to a water fitting with an extremely low switch-on threshold of 0,2 bar, the device can operate at reduced pressure in water pipes (2 mbar). Closed furnace. White color.

Specifications:

Note

• Models with ionization require 1,5 V batteries. Battery life is determined by its quality, frequency of use and the correct installation of the device settings. On average, the battery lasts for a year.
• The flow apparatus should not be installed in an unheated room. There is water in the heat exchanger all the time, if the temperature drops to minus, it can freeze. If there is a danger of freezing, the water must be drained.
• With a rated power, the Beretta columns operate at a dynamic pressure of 13 mbar (dynamic – measured during operation). This indicator corresponds to domestic practice.

Rank

If Chinese models are on the market within 4 rubles (for example, Vector), then Beretta has to pay from 000 to 14 rubles. But the difference concerns not only the price, but also the quality. In Italian devices there are no tin heat exchangers that fail after 000-30 years of operation, the parts are reliable and durable. The work is automated and does not cause any problems for the user. To verify the quality of Beretta speakers, you can track their position in the ratings compiled by experts based on consumer demand, operational and technical characteristics. So, in the rating of reliability and demand, the Beretta Idrabango 000 model took second place. What specialists and market experts noted in it:

• Moderate cost – only 13 rubles.
• High performance – 11 l / min. Although other models of this brand have a higher capacity – up to 17 l / min.
• Heating up to 60 °C.
• Reliable security system – everything is thought out to the smallest detail.

Reviews

Idrabagno11i: Valeria R., Sanchursk

Idrabanyo 11 has been operating for more than three years. For all the time there were no problematic situations. Gases are discharged through the chimney, the draft is natural. The case is steel, and the heat exchanger is copper – they say it will last longer. Everything is in automatic mode – it turns on itself, the ignition is electronic. Heats 11 liters per minute. If we take a bath – up to 6 liters. Simple, reliable — happy with the purchase for the fourth year.

Idrabagno 17i: Grigory N., Nizhny Tagil

Very powerful – would be enough for two floors. We have it in the apartment, which we already bought along with the column. She worked for 5 years before us and 5 years with us. After 10 years, her heat exchanger burned out. That is, it honestly worked out its service life. They did not change the expensive spare part – they decided to buy a new water heater. And the same firm. They took a new “Beretta” – they ordered it in Moscow. We have 5 people in the family, so we set the temperature to the maximum – then we found out that this is harmful to the heat exchanger. While it works fine.

Beretta Italian speakers deserve praise from Russian consumers – they are really worthwhile devices that bring comfort to the house. A small model range does not scare off buyers, on the contrary, everything that a consumer needs is here. Everyone can easily choose an option with the desired performance.
