How to choose and install a water heater for a summer residence

Leaving the city apartment to go to the cottage, many people think not only about the future harvest, shish kebabs, but also about how to "take away" hot water with them - it would be so useful in nature! There is a way out: the water heater for the dacha will solve your problem! In modern equipment stores you can find many types of devices. It remains to choose the most optimal under your circumstances.

New is a well-forgotten old

One of the important factors to consider when making a purchase is the presence or absence of communications (water, gas networks) conducted to the house. If there is not yet a water pipeline, and you use water from a well, a spring water, or from a nearby collapsible column, you should choose a water heater.

As a rule, this is a container that is equipped with a thermal electric heating element (TEN). To fill the "boiler", simple jerricans or jars will be needed. This kind of good for summer residents is always in abundance, especially since many are not necessary: the working volume of the water heater is from five to twenty liters. Often the design is equipped with a shower (watering can) or a sink.

A lot of advantages

Sometimes you can hear that the water heater for the dacha is the last century. But even more often recently there are statements that the use of "old principles" of life support in the presence of modern models of instruments makes it possible to create a very comfortable environment in the country! Indeed, the latest models of devices have a lot of advantages:

- easy to install and operate;

- water becomes hot very quickly (because the capacity is small);

- have an acceptable price;

- strong and serve for a long time (which is very important!);

- Have graceful dimensions, light weight;

- not energy-intensive (given the price of light, this is an important plus).

As easy as pie

The water heater for the dacha is a simple thing, but still we will talk in more detail about the nodes and details (design features). There are three elements: a water tank, a heater and a crane. If there is a desire, install a mixer, but then we need another capacity for cold water (do not forget: we have manual control!).

There is an opinion that such a system practically does not break, except that sometimes one has to change the burned out spiral (element). There are models in which gas is used for heating. If you analyze the line of devices, you can see that the water heaters are electric for the summer cottage arranged according to the same principle. But there are some differences (in design, functions).

Water heaters for the dacha "Alvin", especially EVOBO-20, are in great demand. It can be used on a construction site, in a garage, in cozy, small food outlets. Not only does the water heat up, it still remains hot, because the device is designed as a thermos. The heating is regulated by the thermostat.

Live with comfort

When the set temperature is reached, the design is disconnected. As soon as the "hotness" of water reaches the bottom mark (set by the master's hand), "Alvin" turns on. Thus, the water heater for the dacha is not only convenient, but also safe.

Sometimes it seems like a miracle: there is a neat, nice washstand on the table (you can hang it on the wall, as you wish, there are mountings) with hot water! Who has not had such comfort for a long time, especially will understand what it's about! Tanks of this series are plastic in a metal casing, capacity is 20 liters. TEN power 1.25 kW.

There are water heaters equipped with a sink (series "Moydodyr"). A container with a spiral element is placed directly above the sink. Water is heated by the "click" of the automation, but can be adjusted manually. There is a safety system that does not allow switching on with an empty tank or when overheating occurs. The used water is taken to the receiver behind the door of the bedside table. There are craftsmen who organize the diversion into the drain pit. To do it on forces to the majority of people.

For the shower is used an even simpler construction - a vessel for 50-100 liters of water, equipped with a shower hose (watering can). Install the device where there is an electrical outlet. There are protective functions. Those who have already used the facilities note that the amount of heated water is enough to wash well.

The water heater for the dacha is a complicated modification, intended for such a sanitary unit as a shower. In addition to the tank and watering can, there is a stand under the bottom (pallet), where the water flows, as well as a curtain (curtain or partition), fasteners. Works both on electricity and on gas. If the street is warm and clear, the water can heat up and with the help of the sun. But the fireballs and the eternal energy of the sun, as well as gas, are used less often for heating than for electricity.

Choose carefully

When choosing water heaters for electrical water supply for dachas, try to keep a reference point for manufacturers long-proven. In Russia, most often these are domestic producers (who knows better than "national characteristics"?). Ask the opinion of people who come into contact with the topic. Perhaps they will tell you the subtleties that will suit (or alert) you.

Many people like the water heater for the dacha. Reviews often sound positive. But sometimes there are complaints about design flaws: for example, an insufficiently reliable connection of a crane with a container, or when rusting parts are used to fasten the TEN, which leads to yellowing of the heated water. But do not despair. Given the wealth of choice, everything is solved.
