Ariston water heaters, beloved by Russian buyers, are represented by a well-known Italian brand. A significant advantage is an extensive network of branches and service centers operating throughout the country. Any damage is promptly repaired and parts replaced.
Italian boilers, quickly heating water in the right amount, carefully and economically consume energy. What other characteristics make it possible to opt for Ariston?
Advantages of Ariston boilers – what the manufacturer says
- Range. Each series contains many models that differ in tank volume – from 10 to 200 liters. The company produces about seventy versions of storage boilers.
- Unique anti-corrosion protection. A magnesium anode is built in even in budget options. The insulation is a safe and non-toxic polymer.
- Energy efficiency. The power of the heating elements is matched exactly to the displacement. The tank up to 0,1 m³ is heated by 1-1,5 kW.
- Simple control. Inexpensive versions are equipped with mechanical regulators, expensive ones with a digital control unit. Each heater has an internal temperature control.
- Heating “in portions” thanks to the system of incoming-outgoing tanks. At first, quickly, at maximum power, the output capacitance heats up; while this water is used – for example, they wash themselves, the incoming tank begins to heat up. When the first one runs out of hot water, the second tank comes into play.
- Eco function – water purification and temperature maintenance.
- Nanomix – is responsible for the economical filling of the tank.
- ABS is a device that prevents leakage of electricity and power surges.
- Boiler coating with silver ions. Extends service life.
Water heaters “Ariston” are beautiful and diverse – they differ in the installation method, body shape, volume.
Why “Ariston” is chosen by buyers
- Large selection of models with low cost. A heater of 80-100 liters for 5 rubles is an excellent solution for an economical family.
- Simple maintenance and preventive maintenance.
- Heat resistant body. If the appliance is switched off, it will cool down by only 24°C in 10 hours.
- Fast enough heating – warm water appears in half an hour after connecting to the network. Superfast heating Fast when using two heating elements.
Security
Each electric water heater has several types of protection:
- no water – the device will not turn on;
- protective shutdown to prevent electric shock;
- antibacterial system (in expensive models);
- safety valve – if it is absent, the device cannot be used; an increase in internal pressure can cause a breakdown and even an explosion.
Possible disadvantages
An objective study of all the presented models allows us to make several remarks:
- The temperature regulator is located inconveniently – from below, under the lid.
- There is no reducer for lowering the pressure in the water supply system up to 6 atm. The maximum allowable load is 7 bar, peak load is 16 bar.
- Check valve leaks.
- Not supplied with power cable.
- The body is made of ferrous metal. Durability depends on the anti-corrosion coating – enamel or AG + is used.

Boiler device “Ariston”
A standard 100 l storage heater consists of:
- housing;
- mounting brackets;
- reservoir;
- magnesium anode;
- divider Nanomix;
- heat-insulating polyurethane foam layer;
- outlets for water – 2 pcs.;
- TENov;

Features
Number of heating elements. If there is one heating element, the device costs less, if there are two, the price is higher, but the operation is more comfortable. In this case, each heating element is switched on separately. One works – the water heats up slowly, but economically, the second one is connected – the heating will be faster. This is also the possibility of a back-up: if one breaks, the second will continue to work.
Ariston heaters are equipped with two heating elements.
Power. The lower the power, the slower the heating, and the more economical the operation. High-power ones heat water rapidly, but they also consume a lot of electricity.
The company offers devices 1,5-2,5 kW.
Volume. An 80 or 100 liter tank meets the needs of a large family. For one person, a volume of 30 liters is enough. The optimal consumption of electricity is observed when heating 50 liters – such a tank is enough for 15 minutes of comfortable washing in the shower or a set of a full bath. 30 liters is enough for washing dishes or a 5-minute wash in the shower. When leaving the house, the boiler can be turned off.
Tank material. A poor-quality tank will quickly rust and leak. The company offers three options:
- stainless steel;
- AG+ coating;
- enamel.
How to install a water heater
It is advisable to entrust the installation of the boiler to a specialist.
Important! Before purchasing the device, you should find out the maximum possible voltage for the home network.
Installation Order:
- Choosing a location – you need a load-bearing wall. Universal models – ABS Velis Inox QH and ABS Velis QH – can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Buy dowels rated to hold the tank – the weight of the tank plus the weight of the water.
- Installation. Installation scheme: the boiler is located above the taps, this helps to save electricity. Standard fasteners – two dowels on special loops located on the rear wall of the device.
- After shutting off the water, connect the water supply. Use plastic pipes with different diameters. Branches from pipes of cold and hot water supply to the boiler are performed through a tee.
- Connection to the mains 220 V. When placing the heater in the bathroom, it is necessary to protect the socket from moisture.

Gas water heaters
For dwellings with connected gas, it is more profitable to install a gas water heater. There are two types of devices – storage and flow. All models are vertical.
In storage devices, the water temperature is constant regardless of the flow rate. Minus – after turning on, it takes some time for the water to warm up. They are more flow-through, as they have a large tank.
The manufacturer produces:
- floor type NHRE devices up to 350 liters;
- SGA – floor type, up to 200 liters (piezo ignition);
- SUPER SGA – wall-mounted, up to 100 l (piezo ignition).
Flowing gas heaters have always been popular with Russians. The manufacturer offers geysers:
- piezo ignition – FAST CF11P and FAST CF14P;
- electronic ignition – FAST CF11E and FAST CF14E.
There are three series of Ariston wall heaters:
- Clas;
- Genus;
- Yes.
Indirect water heaters
Such devices function together with a heating boiler. They do not have their own heating elements (if a heating element is provided, the heater is called combined – it can be used when the heating is turned off).
Ariston offers three series:
- BACD – works with a wall-mounted gas boiler;
- BS1S – one heat exchanger, operates with a floor-standing boiler;
- BS2S – two heat exchangers, connected to 1/2 floor-standing boilers.
Cost
The price rises along with the volume of the tank. Estimated cost of Ariston models in rubles:
- 30 l — from 4;
- 50 l — from 5;
- 80 l — from 11;
- 100 l — from 13.
The cheapest option is the Small series (10 liters). Their price is 3500-4500 rubles.
Preventive maintenance
The company gives a five-year warranty on all equipment. If necessary, each owner of the boiler can learn how to disassemble the device in order to perform scheduled maintenance. Ariston models are protected from the whole set of “diseases” characteristic of water heating equipment: scale, tank corrosion, leaks. Basic models provide automatic troubleshooting.
Recommended on its own:
- Clean the heating elements from scale manually or with special solutions.
- Change magnesium anodes if damage is visually estimated at 70-80%.
- Check connecting pipes for blockages.
- Assess the integrity of safety valves.

Reviews
Alina M., Serpukhov
Our house is not new, there is no particular hope for wiring, so we chose a gas apparatus. Has been working for 2 months now. Economical – no need to spend money on electricity, it works quietly. They did not dare to connect themselves – they called the gasman. The water heats up quickly.
Sergey P., N.Novgorod
Fast Evo B 14. Bought a column a year ago. Three months later, the sensor broke – they said at the service center that it was due to dirt on the walls. Water is from the tap, there are filters – I don’t know what this device didn’t like. I had to change the sensor and put a pump to increase the pressure. A clear advantage is the low price for an euroheater.
Gennady С., Taganrog
I ABS Platinum R100 V. I bought two pieces at once – for the bath and for the house. At first, I was attracted by the price and saving electricity. After a year of operation, I can say that it is silent, heats water quickly, and electricity bills have not increased much.
Before buying an Ariston water heater, decide which energy source suits you best – electricity or gas. By choosing the right volume and power of the boiler, you can provide your home with hot water at minimal cost.
