Geyser “Vector” is considered one of the most popular water heaters in the domestic market. All parts are made in China, and despite this, the devices are not inferior in quality to more expensive analogues. In addition, product testing is carried out under the strict supervision of customers. Many people say that gas water heaters are outdated. But it is this type of water heater that remains a productive and inexpensive source of energy. Another plus of heaters from Vector is their small size, even if you have a small room, the equipment will not take up much space. Note that the range of the brand is quite modest, but all models have good characteristics and are quite cheap.
How is the gas column
- The “heart” of the water heater is called the heat exchanger. Its components are hollow copper tubes. Cold water enters the heat exchanger, after which it is heated by the burner.
- Regardless of the model and cost, all columns of the manufacturer “Vector” are equipped with an electric ignition function. This adds to the reliability of the security system, due to the absence of an igniter with a constantly burning flame.
- After the tap has been opened, the water-gas unit is used. The device consists of three parts: water and gas units and an adapter between them. The valve only works when there is sufficient water pressure. The regulator is responsible for controlling and supplying gas.
- Another part of the water heater is the burner. First, the burner burns the air mixture, and then directs it to the next element – the combustion chamber.
- All excess products are removed from the combustion chamber through a steel gas outlet. Inside it is a sensor that turns off the equipment if there is not enough traction. Under the influence of temperature, the thermal relay heats up and opens, after which the burner stops working.
- To protect the device from overheating, a sensor is provided in the heat exchanger, which is located in the place where the maximum water temperature is measured. After the water is heated to 80 degrees, the gas supply stops.
- The last element is the fuse, which is responsible for regulating the pressure.
Advantages of water heaters “Vector”
The technique has several advantages, which made it very popular among Russian buyers.
Price
Not everyone can spend more than 10 thousand rudders on such a device, and it is quite difficult to do without it in a country house or in a private house. The brand “Vector” does not have models more expensive than 4 thousand rubles – despite this, the equipment is quite high-quality and versatile.
Design
The equipment looks stylish and discreet. The column will not attract attention, and sometimes even emphasize the interior. The manufacturer also took care of the compact dimensions of the equipment. In the event of a breakdown, the owner can always find the necessary spare parts that will be inexpensive and extend the life of the device.
Management
All models are equipped with a simple and convenient control system. It consists of two switches. The first regulates the gas supply, and the second is responsible for the amount of water entering the heat exchanger. There is also a technique with a third switch for the Winter/Summer function. The first program activates all sections of the burner. The “Summer” program, on the contrary, turns off some of the sections – a plus for savings.
Disadvantages of water heaters “Vector”
Do not think that for modest money you will purchase newfangled equipment that will last for decades – this is not so. You need to understand that budget options are not designed for long-term use and cannot offer innovative technologies that are present in expensive counterparts. It happens that after a season of use, equipment needs repair and replacement of parts.
Another disadvantage is the burnout of the heat exchanger. Although it is made of copper, its layer is quite thin. Therefore, over time, the heat exchanger can no longer withstand high temperatures and the equipment breaks down.
Even these shortcomings do not stop buyers and heaters are actively sold. Someone believes that they are much better and better than models from a more expensive segment. In any case, it is impossible to say for sure about the quality without testing the water heater yourself.

Vector JSD 20-W
We bought an apartment that did not have hot water. To avoid problems, my husband and I decided to buy a gas water heater. I didn’t want to spend much, so we settled on the option with the Vector brand. They have very few models, they did not choose for long and bought JSD 20-W. The equipment is very convenient, especially for such money. There is an automatic ignition device. Auto-ignition is powered by batteries, which were replaced for the first time six months later. The display shows the water temperature. There is a drawback – it does not work well with low pressure.
Vector JSD 20-W

A Chinese water heater “Vector” has been standing at home for a couple of years. Electronic ignition is a convenient thing, but due to the overall quality of the column, this plus is lost. The column heats up 10 liters of water to 25 degrees in a minute, but if the temperature should be 40 degrees, then the productivity is reduced to 5-6 l / minute. Management is very simple, nothing more. Three switches are responsible for gas supply, winter / summer mode switching and water quantity adjustment. As a result, I concluded that due to a not very high-quality heat exchanger, the equipment will last a maximum of 3 years. But if you use it at low pressure, then it can work for 7 years.

vector Luxury Eco JSD 20-2
I drew attention to the interesting design of the Vector heater and decided to buy it for the dacha. Only now I realized that attention should have been paid to the characteristics, and not to the appearance. Normal management, in principle, even convenient. It is set on fire automatically, if the technique is finalized, it would be nice. The column has a terribly uncomfortable manifold and handles that simply could not be removed without the help of a mount. Such methods threatened to break the glass or damage something else. I can not miss a very problematic repair. Such a heater will last no longer than four years. There is no wiring diagram, I had to look on the Internet. Of the advantages, only cost, design and the ability to adjust the temperature.

vector JSD 12-W
Despite how much the column costs, it is quite good. Her appearance is strict and decent, looks more expensive than its cost. There are few electronics, but there is an electric ignition that runs on batteries. Among the Chinese models, you can find worse and more expensive than the Vector. For giving go hacienda is an excellent option. Therefore, I do not really understand the indignation of people about poor quality, who want to buy modern and reliable equipment for 4000 rubles. For its price, the heater has a minimum of shortcomings, good design and stable operation. For 2 years of use, there were no breakdowns.
Whether or not to buy products from the manufacturer “Vector” is up to you. We only note that the water heater is really good for its price. Some models will not only provide you with hot water, but also emphasize the design of the room with a charming appearance.
