The way out is simple, let's go choose a water heater. Which, by the way, will become an actual acquisition for giving, if you do not have hot water supply there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allforwomen.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/post-164746-61e71ee1e8c0e.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/allforwomen.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/post-164746-61e71ee1e8c0e.webp\" alt=\"How to choose a good water heater\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After studying the market for water heaters, we chose a <a href=\"https:\/\/allforwomen.com.de\/en\/how-to-choose-a-good-water-heater\/\" title=\"Bosch boiler\">Bosch boiler<\/a>. The company is solid, with a long history and an excellent reputation. Also, the choice was influenced by positive reviews on the network.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0A large selection of water heaters of this brand made me think about what types of heaters can be and how they differ.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Types<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Firstly, water heaters can be divided by type of power supply:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>gas<\/li>\n<li>electrical<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Everything is simple here, if you do not have gas, then the choice is obvious, but if you do, then a gas water heater may be more profitable, because gas is cheaper. However, it should be noted that most likely there will be no problems with connecting an electric heater, while only a specialist can install a gas heater, which incurs additional costs. A gas water heater will take longer to heat up, with the same volume, than an electric one.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, we were approached by electric. But here, too, the question of choice arose:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>flowing<\/li>\n<li>accumulative<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>storage water heater<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is a tank, inside of which there is a heater (or several heaters). It is like a thermos, heats water and maintains its temperature. Such water heaters consume energy quite economically and are simply connected. For them, the value of water pressure in the system is not critical, the heating temperature can be up to 70 degrees.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allforwomen.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/post-164746-61e71ee2b6fcf.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/allforwomen.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/post-164746-61e71ee2b6fcf.webp\" alt=\"How to choose a good water heater\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of the minuses:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Large size (depending on the volume you choose);<\/li>\n<li>If you have used up all the hot water, you will have to wait a while until the tank heats up again (the time depends on the power and volume, but usually about two hours)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Instantaneous water heater<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This type of heater does not have a storage tank, and therefore takes up a minimum of space, although this is where its advantages are exhausted.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allforwomen.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/post-164746-61e71ee354da5.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/allforwomen.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/post-164746-61e71ee354da5.webp\" alt=\"How to choose a good water heater\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Minuses:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>High energy consumption &#8211; such water heaters heat water at the moment when it flows through the system. In order to ensure a comfortable water pressure, heating should be as fast as possible;<\/li>\n<li>The water temperature is regulated by the feed rate, and therefore the hotter you want to get water, the less pressure will be. You are unlikely to be able to take a hot shower;<\/li>\n<li>If the capacity of the instantaneous water heater is higher than 8kW, then a separate three-phase connection will be required (if lower, a normal single-phase connection is sufficient, but the water will be warm).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In what cases is it advisable to connect an instantaneous water heater? Due to its size, this type of heater fits perfectly, for example, under the sink in the kitchen. Well, in general, where there is a minimum of space.<\/p>\n<p>After weighing all the pros and cons, we settled on a storage type water heater.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Criteria for choosing a storage water heater<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What you should pay attention to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>tank volume (depending on the number of users and location possibilities);<\/li>\n<li>appearance (important if it hangs in plain sight, the boiler can be vertical or horizontal, also pay attention to how it is more convenient to supply water from below or from the side);<\/li>\n<li>type of control (electronic or mechanical);<\/li>\n<li>heating rate and energy consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Bosch brand found several models that fit our criteria. We chose the 100 liter model from the Bosch Tronic series. You can choose the manufacturer that you like, the selection criteria will not change from this.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A water heater is useful to you both in the country and in the apartment during the period of hot water shutdown.
