Many users are faced with a problem: the column does not produce the expected results. This happens due to incorrect equipment settings. Manufacturers have found a way out and released devices with automatic adjustment. We will tell you how to set up a gas column – a regular one and an automatic one.
Preparatory work
Despite the fact that each column “Selena”, “Vector”, “Bosch”, “Neva” comes with instructions indicating the settings, not all users understand them. One mistake at the beginning – and the technique does not function as it should.
Work begins with water regulation. If you do not do this immediately, then all settings will be inaccurate. The flow must be minimal. The nominal values u6bu10bare indicated in the documents, but they are common: 12, XNUMX, XNUMX liters.
How to set the hot water controller:
- Open the hot mixer to full power. When connected to several intake points, only one valve can be unscrewed.
- Set the desired value using the water switch.
- Turn on the faucet.
Follow the recommendations of experts:
- Wait until the pressure drops in the line, but the column will still turn on.
- Turn the handle of the water toggle switch to the maximum position.
- Turn the gas regulator to the minimum mark until the temperature suits you.
To finish cooking, you need to adjust the gas supply. Look again at the data sheet, find out the minimum value for your model.
- Turn the toggle switch to the minimum.
- Open the gas cock. In the Ariston, Electrolux models, this must be done after connecting to the network. In heaters “Oasis”, Dion, “Bosch”, “Junkers” – after the installation of batteries (batteries).
- Open the hot valve – the column will start working.
Water temperature control
Open the mixer and evaluate the heating temperature of the water flow. It should be 25 degrees higher than at the entrance. Keep in mind that the gas boiler does not heat the water immediately, you need to wait a bit. Use the gas lever to adjust.
You can also adjust the temperature with a water toggle switch. By increasing the flow, you lower the heating temperature, and vice versa.
Experts do not recommend heating above 55 degrees. This negatively affects the operation of the device, since scale is actively deposited.
The settings take some time, so you do not need to wait for the result immediately. After each stage, you need to drain the water and let it heat up again to check the accuracy of the indicators. Operation can be hampered by reduced pressure in the system.
If the device is running on LPG, there are pressure problems, proceed as follows:
- Remove the instrument cover.
- Loosen the locking bolt, measure the readings with a pressure gauge.
- Remove the seal from the adjustment screw.
- Start the boiler.
- Set the maximum values, unscrew all hot water mixers.
- Set the required pressure.
Some models are equipped with an additional winter-summer mode. The power of heating water in the column depends on the temperature of the inlet stream. In winter, the regulator is set to the “maximum” position – maximum heating. In summer, the inlet temperature is higher, so the value is “minimum”. This saves resources.
Problems with poor water pressure can be corrected by checking. If the equipment was already in operation and you decided to reconfigure it, but there is no pressure:
- Check the rubber membrane. Its operation depends on the pressure in the line. The membrane flexes, activating the gas valve. When it wears out, deforms, the gas supply does not start, the burner does not light up. Replace membrane.
- Mesh filter. Located at the inlet to the water reducer (block). It is clogged with small debris from the water supply, so the pressure may decrease. Clean the item.
Auto speaker setup
Such devices are equipped with only one regulator. He is responsible for power, heating temperature. The built-in self-diagnostic system conducts a full assessment of the operation of the nodes at startup. If something is wrong, a red indicator lights up on the panel – the equipment is blocked from turning on. In this case, you need to adjust the pressure as described above.
Thereafter:
- Remove the batteries from the compartment.
- Disconnect the microswitch.
- Insert batteries.
- Open a hot water tap, turn on the microswitch.
- Set the burner pressure to maximum.
- When the settings are saved, the orange light will come on.
The remaining columns can be adjusted by turning the toggle switch, controlling the strength of the water flow.
Unfortunately, you can’t just set the settings according to the instructions, since each system has different indicators. If you are unable to adjust the operation of the geyser, contact a specialist.
