Which one to choose for a shower in an apartment according to a specialist?

When choosing an instantaneous water heater, first of all, you should evaluate the planned scale of its use..

If the device is needed only for washing dishes in the kitchen or morning washing, then you should not overpay for high-power models that place high demands on electrical wiring.

But for the regular adoption of bath-water procedures, a very powerful device is required.

So, before you buy your favorite model, you should pay attention to performance indicators such as:

• device power - a run from low-power ones of 3-5 kW, supplying about 1.5-5 liters of hot water per minute, sufficient for a quick shower or washing food and dishes, to devices that consume about 30 kW and are able to provide hot water to all bathrooms, bathrooms and kitchen corners located in the apartment;
• performance - a parameter usually indicated in the passport, which is often calculated based on an initial water temperature of 20 ° C, which in Russia can only occur in hot summers or in the warmest southern regions (in most Russian cities, the incoming water temperature in winter and in the off-season is not higher than 10°C);
• expected load - a heater is required for only 1 tap or it is necessary to provide hot water at several points;
• filters - since the water in our pipes is far from ideal, a good filter system will seriously extend the life of the device;
• control type - mechanical, which works according to the principle: the greater the pressure of water, the colder it is, or electronic, which automatically adjusts the temperature of any water flow to the values ​​\u200b\u200bselected by the user;
• electricity - for heaters of low power (up to 8 kW), an ordinary outlet will suffice, powerful models will most likely require a separate protected power line of 380 V (three-phase voltage) from the shield to the outlet in the apartment;
• design and dimensions - the device must fit well into the interior of the room or be successfully placed behind closed cabinet doors;
• warranty service - a long warranty period indicates the high quality of the device, and a service center located in your city will speed up the service and repair of the device.

Types of instantaneous water heaters

Despite the fact that Russian household appliance stores in 2020 offer a wide variety of models of flow-type water heaters, in general, such devices can be divided into 2 large groups:

• non-pressure devices, providing heating of water only at one point of water intake (or at two, located in close proximity to each other);
• pressure, equipped with an inlet for cold water and an outlet for hot water, which, using internal piping, can be directed to all consumption points available in the apartment.

Which firm to choose?

When choosing an instantaneous water heater, you should give preference to reliable and trusted manufacturers, such as:

• Thermex — an international group of companies, the largest specialized manufacturer of water heating equipment;
• Bosch - a well-known German company, whose products are traditionally of high quality;
• Electrolux is a Swedish company, one of the world leaders in the production of household and professional appliances;
• Stiebel — a company associated with hot water and characterized by high manufacturability and cost-effectiveness of its products;
• Timberk - a Swedish brand owned by Arima Holding Corporation, which specializes in the production of climate technology;
• Zanussi - a trademark from Italy, owned by the Electrolux concern.

Instantaneous water heater or storage (boiler) - which is better?

When choosing between a flow and storage water heater, it should be borne in mind that such a decision should be made based on the purpose of using the device and the amount of hot water required: for example, for a summer cottage where 1-2 people live irregularly, a flow device is better, and for a city apartment with 5-7 households, it will be more economical to purchase a capacious boiler.

Also, the advantages of flow type heaters traditionally include:

• low cost;
• compact dimensions;
• instant heating of water;
• unlimited hot water;
• interval power consumption (only during operation).

And among the shortcomings of such a device, a rather large consumption of electricity is in the lead, which does not have the best effect on utility bills, increased requirements for the electrical network of the premises.

It should also be borne in mind that in winter the temperature of the incoming water will be somewhat lower than in summer, respectively, and the hot water leaving the device of low or medium power will have a lower temperature, not too comfortable for long water procedures.
