Which geysers are better

Water heaters are necessary not only for residents of the private sector, but also for people living in apartments. The central water supply is not always stable, the water supply is turned off to repair and prevent the system. In the summer, without hot water supply (hot water supply), it is difficult. Which geysers are better to choose in order to feel comfortable at any time of the year? What equipment to buy for installation in Khrushchev, a private house or a modern apartment? To help you with the choice, we have compiled a rating of the best models according to users and experts.

Where to start?

Which gas column to choose? With some criteria you need to decide before going to the store. Look around your premises. Is it spacious or cramped? Is the wiring installed old or new? How long have the pipes been replaced? Why the answers to these questions are important, you will now find out.

Device power. More powerful devices consume a large amount of electricity, so they require connection to thick wiring. It is worth focusing on the number of sampling points. So, a low power of 9-20 kW can provide one point of intake. Average 20–24 kW – two points. High 25 kW and above – two points with stable operation or three with pressure drops.

Combustion chamber type. Products open type are a classic design. The air that is needed to burn the flame is taken from the room. Therefore, natural ventilation is important. The products of combustion are removed through the chimney.

closed kamera provides for the installation of a coaxial chimney. It is based on the principle of a pipe in a pipe. Combustion products are removed through one tube, oxygen for combustion enters through the other. The safety of such devices is much higher. Therefore, they are preferable for installation in a residential area.

Ignition type. This is an important criterion on which the convenience of using equipment depends.

• With auto ignition. The burner ignites when the mixer is opened. There are water and gas regulators on the panel, it is possible to have a display.
• With piezo ignition (semi-automatic). To start the burner, you need to hold the button. The cost of such models is lower, but in operation they consume a large amount of fuel.
• Manual ignition was used in older models. It is inconvenient and unsafe.

Security. When buying, pay attention to this criterion. The presence of flame sensors, thrust, temperature allows you to protect the device from damage, and the user – from poisoning. If the column fails, the sensors signal the control module, after which the operation is turned off.

Problems of choice

Which devices are better – domestic or imported? Someone thinks that Russian and Belarusian speakers are the most reliable. The cost of products is much lower than imported ones, besides, they are easier to repair and find spare parts.

Foreign products are often assembled in our country from Chinese parts. Of course, this is much more profitable for manufacturers. It turns out that the client overpays only for the brand / brand, but the equipment is the same?

Another example in favor of a domestic manufacturer. Products are adapted for normal operation in our “not normal” conditions. That is, the column can operate at a minimum system pressure of up to 0,1 bar. And this is true for residents of Khrushchev, where the old water supply is installed. The most famous manufacturers are Neva, Ladogaz, Don. Staurolit and Vestal are also in demand.

On the other hand, if you turn to an official supplier, you can purchase high-quality imported equipment. Yes, it will cost more. Yes, in the event of a breakdown, you will have to order original spare parts. But reliable parts, high-quality components and materials will do their job. Such a product can last more than 10 years. Much depends on the operating conditions.

Review of the best models of geysers

The review includes descriptions of interesting models and user reviews about them. The rating is based on the opinion of experts and the demand for technology.

NEVA LUX 5514

Sergei

Powerful and high quality speaker. Suitable for hard water, I have been in operation for the fifth year. This is despite the fact that in the water there are impurities of sand that precipitate. So I added a filter. The assembly is good, it provides stable 2 intake points – in the kitchen and in the bathroom. Periodically I clean the heat exchanger, because not a single device can withstand such water for a long time. In general, I am satisfied with the work. One minus – the regulator cannot turn off the operation of the batteries. Pulling them out every time is inconvenient.

“Ladogaz” VPG 10E

The product is perfectly adapted to the Russian realities of operation. There is no igniter in the design, which makes it safe to use. The device will work even at a system pressure of 0,1 bar. Power 19 kW. Productivity 10 liters per minute. The maximum heating temperature is +85 °C.

Features:

• The protection system includes: safety valve, temperature sensor, gas control, ionization sensor.
• The panel has two adjustment knobs and a display for temperature control.
• Electronic ignition.

The cost is from 7 rubles.

Elena

We chose HSV 10E of “our” production to provide hot water to the apartment. During the work, she noted economical gas consumption, in contrast to the device with piezo ignition, which was before. Heats liquid quickly, good pressure. The body dimensions are very compact. We don’t have a lot of space in our kitchen, so the design fits comfortably. If you value a domestic manufacturer, then choose Ladogaz.

Roda JSD20-T1

The Swedish trademark “Roda”, but the assembly is Chinese. Despite this, users respond positively to this model. Power 20 kW, 10 l/min. enough to provide two points. Modern technology is equipped with electric ignition. The flame lights up only when the mixer is opened, which saves electricity.

The work is designed for pressure from 0,30 to 8 atm. The structure is equipped with heaters. When the temperature in the radiator drops to +5 degrees, heating is turned on, preventing the product from freezing. Closed combustion chamber.

The Roda JSD20-T1 can be placed comfortably thanks to its slim design.

Price from 9 000 rubles.

Gennady

Absolutely satisfied with the purchased equipment “Roda”. First, it works stably. The temperature is kept in the set mode, does not jump. Secondly, the compact body and neutral design. For those who are going to buy, I will inform you: this model is intended for installation in a private house. It connects to a coaxial chimney, which is not suitable for apartments. A friend tried to install it in an apartment, I had to buy a new device.

Hyundai H-GW2-ARW-UI307

The water heater from the Chinese manufacturer is equipped with a copper heat exchanger. Operating power 20 kW, output 10 l/min. You no longer need matches, automatic ignition allows you to comfortably use the product. The burner is made of stainless steel.

There is a built-in 4D-Guard protection system:

• Ionization sensor, pressure relief valve.

The toggle switch on the panel helps to smoothly regulate the flame in the burner. The presence of the display will help to control the heating temperature.

Price from 5 rubles.

Vladislav

Reliable durable housing H-GW2-ARW-UI307, does not heat up when turned on. The water is at a stable temperature, you do not need to constantly keep your hand on the tap to wash. I almost never use power adjustment, as I set it to the minimum position, it works. I do not understand how it differs from the temperature. For the price it’s a great unit.

Superflame SF0120 10L

“Superflame” refers to the category of models with an average performance (17,85 kW, 10 l / min). The affordable cost of flow heaters makes them in demand among different segments of the population. SF0120 10L in a strict classic design will fit into any interior. The burner ignites automatically when water is supplied.

Electronic control. Available display and toggle switches. Installed thermostat to control heating, gas control. It is possible to adjust the flame in the burner.

Catherine

My husband and I decided to change the old column to a more modern model. I liked “Superflame” with its design, it fits perfectly into the kitchen. Convenient ignition, batteries can be changed independently. A huge plus is that it consumes gas only when the mixer is opened.

Ariston Gi7S 11L FFI

Our review will not do without the cutting-edge technology presented by the Gi7S 11L FFI from the Marco Polo line. The external design of the column is fascinating – this design decision classifies the device as a premium class. The device dispenses 11 liters per minute, which is enough for the full service of two points. Power 22 kW.

The closed type of the chamber allows you to effectively remove combustion products, more suitable for private homes. The flame level can be adjusted. Electronic control with a large informative display will help you set and maintain the temperature.

The system “Anti-freezing”, protection against overheating is provided. The copper radiator has a high efficiency.

Price from 20 000 rubles.

Dmitriy

Many complain about the heating rate, poor assembly. I will say this: do not fumble in the setting – do not take it. If a person does not understand the instructions, it is clear that fiddling with the device is a burden. The installation is designed for a separate chimney, preferably in your own home. The temperature was set once in the region of 38-40 degrees. The heat is excellent, no need to mix. A family of 4 has enough hot water, all the households are overjoyed.

Bosch WR 10-2P

Universal flow heater will fit into any interior. The metal body includes a copper heat exchanger and a steel burner. On the panel there is a lever for smooth regulation of temperature up to +60 degrees. The column produces 10 liters of water per minute, the average power is 17,4 kW. It will function even at a pressure of 0,10 atm.

Semi-automatic piezo ignition helps the equipment to work stably, the igniter is always on fire. The device automatically turns off when overheating, an ionization sensor is installed. It can be connected to a common line or run from a gas cylinder. The device works quietly, which will not prevent the owners from spending time in the kitchen.

The cost is from 8 000 rubles.

Yuliya

I chose a water heater for a long time and settled on Bosch WR 10-2P with piezo ignition. I met negative reviews that the radiator is flowing. I have been using the equipment for three years, no problems. It is necessary to clean the heat exchanger in time and not set a high temperature. I adjusted it once, and after that it consistently produces hot water. I recommend to buy.

Even the best, according to buyers, technology has its drawbacks and advantages. No wonder they say that the best repair is prevention. If you have decided on the choice of brand of the device, we give several recommendations for long-term operation:

• To install the product, it is better to contact a specialist.
• It is not recommended to mix hot and cold streams on a mixer.
• Once a year, inspect the column nodes.

We wish you a good choice!
