Installation and repair of plumbing (water heater)

It has long been observed that feel civilized person wants most of all at precisely the moment when, having opened in the morning the hot water, you are sadly konstatiruete lack thereof. Despite the expectedly similar “surprises”, you most often to them totally unprepared and unable to give a “symmetrical response”. Typically, the yield of the situation is commonplace heated water kettle or saucepan. Meanwhile, there are quite civilized ways of solving such problems. Here are some of them.

A good alternative or complement to the centralized hot water supply is to install storage electric water heater – boiler. This device heats the water up to a certain tempervtury, usually not exceeding 90 degrees, and automatically maintains it at a specified level. Boilers are good that does not require much electrical power as water heating is slow, and they can be connected to an ordinary outlet. Capacity of boilers varies – from 10 to 500 liters. Although the water heater tank with a volume of more than 200 liters have been rare. Typically, in order to be able to comfortably wash in the bathroom, may have a boiler with a capacity of 50-100 liters. But if this volume you think too much, then buy in that case boiler smaller – 10-30 liters. That’s enough to wash dishes, wash and even take a shower. It should be borne in mind that the greater the volume of the heater, the more time required to heat the water. But this pattern is and pleasant side – a lot of water and cool down will be slower. Moreover, the storage water heaters are arranged on the principle of thermos – a tub of hot water on all sides surrounded by insulation. Typically, the rate of fall of temperature does not exceed 0, 25 – 0, 5 degrees per hour.

In addition, there are accumulating instantaneous water heaters. The water in them heats up during passage through the heat exchanger, so these devices are very energy-consuming. In a city apartment can only count on 4 – 6 kilowatts of electrical power. This power gives 1,5 – 3 liters of warm water in a minute. In this case, the higher the rate of water flow through the heat exchanger, so it is colder. To get a more warm water to make a jet thinner, closing valve. Fill the tub so the water heater is problematic (although you can), but for a shower or washing dishes be enough. Connecting the flow of water heaters have to produce an electrician, since it requires to install an additional machine, hold ground, and possibly replace the counter the more powerful.

If your house is connected to the gas line, then consider yourself lucky. Because in this case, you can install the most convenient and cost-type water heaters – gas stove. The thickness of these water heating devices can satisfy almost any request. They are capable of delivering 5 to 17 liters of hot water per minute, which corresponds to fully open faucet. All modern gas water heaters are able to automatically maintain the desired temperature of water, regardless of expense. For example, if you wash the dishes, but this time in the bathroom including shower, the water temperature does not change – column will automatically adjust its power. To activate the speaker no longer need to use matches or lighters – they are all equipped with pezorozzhigom flame. It is also important that these devices are absolutely safe for consumers, because they all have an automatic system for damping-off gas pilot burner flame or combustion products entering the premises.

As you can see, to solve the problem of hot water in our time is not difficult. There are several options that allow you to not depend on the whims of communal services, the more that you are always happy to help our masters. Just please, and they will for you any plumbing work.
