Installation of electric storage water heater

In such devices, there are two major advantages. First – they allow you to stock a large quantity of hot water, which can be measured in the hundreds of liters (hence the common name by the way “boilers”), and that provides a comfortable and quick adoption of a soul filling the tub. Second – for their use does not require a large selection of electric power and special wiring.

By way of attaching storage water heaters are wall-mounted, recessed (to install, say, under the kitchen sink) and floor (large volume of 150 liters). Before you buy your favorite model wall heater, you need to clearly define the place of its installation. Simply put: over a sink or under the sink. You’ve got to be careful: water heater with upper and lower connecting externally almost identical. The only difference in the location of PETN. But keep in mind: the device with the upper connection in any case can not be installed under the sink. The process of heating the water will become unmanageable. PEX plumbing is better to make capital, with the help of metal or metal pipes.

How to install a water heater? Complete with the heater, except the passport, the description of the operation and installation, make sure the scheme is applied in 1:1 scale. There are listed all the holes that need to be drilled. For wall mounting devices of more simple “screws” can not do – you need special brackets, so we encourage the installation of such devices to entrust to specialists. The wall may be affected more seriously: quite apart from the massive heater on it will impact and weight of water in the tank.

It is stipulated that for any electric heater is desirable ground, and the corresponding entries in the apartment wiring is usually absent, there is no appropriate contacts and the socket. Therefore, it is good to still make a separate posting, and if not from the shield with the “automatic”, but at least, with ground wire! For your own safety.

Hot water from Solar Energy

In order to save natural gas we also have developed a variety of solar installations for the use of solar radiation and obtain energy from the sun. We were particularly interested in solar installations, heating homes and supplying hot water.

The proposed combination of combined system provides the connection of solar cells, in which water is heated by radiation from the sun.

In our example, offers two simple setup: one feeds the hot water in a common network for household purposes, and other installation supplies hot water to the boiler, and thus provides an apartment with hot water and heated it in the summer and winter. All this is achieved without alteration of the PEX heating system.
