An electric boiler providing hot water supply (DHW) to an apartment or a private house sometimes needs to be emptied. For example, to clean the tank or replace the magnesium anode. We will tell you how to drain water from a water heater in various ways, depending on the connection diagram. We will solve a more complex problem - emptying the storage capacity of the floor type....

The advantage of an electric boiler over other water heaters is versatility. The storage tank is suitable for any apartment and private house, since it consumes only 1.5 ... 3 kW of electricity. Installation permission is not required, for the sake of economy, installation is done independently....

Natural gas instantaneous water heaters are very efficient household appliances that can supply heated water for household needs indefinitely. And although their operating principle has not changed since the invention, the design has undergone many improvements. Users will not be bothered to study the device of a modern gas column to successfully operate it, and sometimes repair it on its own....

Using an electric boiler in an apartment or a private house is the easiest and most affordable way to provide the house with hot water (DHW). Accumulative type water heaters do not require installation permission and a powerful power input, since they consume only 2-3 kW / h of electricity. But the latter costs a lot of money, so homeowners have a logical question - how to use a water heater to save electricity....

Our tap water is rich in various chemical compounds. Passing through the coil of the gas column, it emits a precipitate covering the inner walls of the tubes. Over the years of operation, the scale layer is able to overlap the passage section by half. There is only one counteraction method - timely cleaning and washing of the heat exchanger....

Due to stereotypes, the name “boiler” is often associated with an electric hot water tank. Although there are other versions of household appliances that provide autonomous hot water supply to private homes and apartments. Under certain conditions, the use of gas appliances and indirect heating tanks is much more profitable and comfortable....

Inside any storage water heater there is a metal rod - an anode made of magnesium-aluminum alloy. The element serves as a tank protection and is gradually corroded by corrosion during operation. It is important not to miss the moment of final destruction - to timely replace the magnesium anode, and at the same time to clean the tank and the tubular electric heater (in short - TEN) from scale....

Flowing water heaters operating on natural and liquefied gas - the devices are quite reliable and break down infrequently. Minor malfunctions that occur during operation, the user is able to fix on their own.A gas master solves the problem literally within 5 minutes, but demands to pay for the call - is this a familiar situation?...

Unlike the boiler, the instantaneous water heater is capable of immediately delivering hot water of the required temperature, and it will heat exactly as much as you used. Fuel is used sparingly. The procedure for installing a gas column or replacing an old device is not easy - you need to develop a project, coordinate it with a gas supplier and pay for the connection service performed by trained personnel....

In contrast to the storage boiler, the instantaneous water heater turns on simultaneously with the opening of the mixer tap, after the cessation of water withdrawal, the heating instantly turns off. The algorithm is more economical - only the used volume of water is heated. Home appliances are divided into 2 groups - electric and gas water heaters....

For the organization of autonomous hot water supply (DHW) of apartments and private houses, 2 groups of heaters are used - boilers and columns. The former gradually accumulate heat in a tank of 30 ... 500 liters, the latter warm water “on the go”, immediately after opening the tap. We propose to consider the pros and cons of each type of household appliances and find out which water heater is better - flow or storage....

The simplest way to organize the flow of hot water for washing is to put a flowing electric water heater in the bathroom for a shower. A household appliance is noticeably cheaper than a storage boiler and takes up less space. When choosing and installing a heating apparatus, it is necessary to take into account a number of points - the available power consumption, the number of draw points, the state of wiring, and so on....
