Types of flowing water heaters from Atmor

Instantaneous electric water heater Atmor is a product of an Israeli company with the same name. Atmor company specializes in the production of high-quality water-heating equipment, and instantaneous water heaters from this manufacturer have gained particular popularity among consumers. Attractive modern design, comfort in application, fast water heating, a high level of reliability and efficiency have led to a high demand for these products.

The names of this type of electric water heaters suggests that such a device heats the water during the period during which it passes through the device. For this purpose, heating elements with a capacity from 5 kW to 30 kW are used, depending on the model of the heater.Comparison of this indicator with the capacity of storage-type water heaters, which varies between 1–3 kW, allows us to conclude that, due to higher power, the power consumption of instantaneous water heaters will exceed this indicator for storage water heaters.

However, this statement is refuted by the fact that the instantaneous water heater functions only at the moments of water supply from the tap - the device is turned off when the tap is closed. But the storage water heater heats the water constantly, including in those periods when the consumer does not use hot water.

Therefore, the consumption of electricity for water heaters of both types is quite comparable, depending not only on the power parameters of the device, but also on the degree of water consumption, which, depending on the situation, can give an advantage to the product of one or the second type.

To turn on the device, simply open the tap, set the required power level and adjust the temperature with water pressure. It should be noted that when the pressure in the system is below 0.3 atm, overheating and switching off of the device may be observed.

The relay thus produces a clear click, after which the lights of the indicators go out. This should not be taken as a sign of a breakdown - it is just in this way that the protection system of the heater is triggered. The device is turned on again after the restoration of pressure.

Flowing water heaters are divided into single-phase and three-phase.

  • The first ones are characterized by low power and are mainly used for operation with a single point of water supply, which can be a faucet or a shower. They are distinguished by small dimensions and are located in the immediate vicinity of the water takeoff point.
  • Three-phase water heaters have greater power, which allows them to heat a significantly larger volume of water per unit of time. Therefore, such products are used to supply hot water to several outlets.

Properties and principle of operation

The manufacturer of these products has supplied them with a specific clipping system. A thermal fuse installed in them shuts off the water supply if its temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius, thereby protecting the consumer from burns. In addition, instantaneous water heaters from an Israeli manufacturer are capable of operating atconnecting to the common water supply with several points of supply and act in case of overlapping of the output tap.

This was made possible through the use of an electronic sensor to control the flow of water. The design of this reliable and highly sensitive device provides for its connection in one circuit together with a relay. It is designed to disconnect the device from the power supply in case the water pressure drops to a critical level if it becomes less than 1.2 liters per minute, and the water heater is turned on when the water supply is resumed.

With the passage of a jet of cold water through the cavity of the Atmor water heater, it affects the duct sensor. The latter sends to the relay a command to connect the power supply to the tubular heating element. The water, washing it, is heated to the required temperature, flowing from the faucet already heated to a hot state.

Temperature adjustment is carried out using the output valve or through a special power regulator tubular electric thermoelectronic heater.

Instructions for the installation and use of the device

Recommendations of the manufacturer for the installation of the device include the choice of location for its placement and connection.Such a place should be convenient for the consumer, subject to the easiest access to the device’s connection elements.

Included instrument has a template. According to it, the marking is performed, according to which the water heater is attached to the wall with dowels from the set of the attached fasteners, which are installed in the holes drilled under them.

The product is finally fastened with screws, which are screwed into these dowels.

Then with the use of sealing gaskets are connected water supply lines. At the same time, it is important not to confuse the conclusions of the heater: the left pipe is provided for supplying cold water, and the right pipe is used to go to the mixer.

After checking the system for leaks, the power supply is connected. For more convenient wiring, the manufacturer marked the phase with the symbol L, the symbol N - zero, and the sign M - the ground on the terminal box.

After performing all the manipulations, the device is closed with a casing, the bottom cover is screwed to it, and the water heater is ready for use.

Atmor water heaters are distinguished by maximum simplicity and ergonomics.therefore, as a rule, do not create problems with exploitation. For those who have not yet had to use flow heaters, you can take as an example the model Atmor Basic, with a capacity of 5 kW.

This shower water heater operates in three heating modes of the order of 2, 3 and 5 kW. Dvuhkilovatny mode is designed for the summer period. With it, the water temperature in the faucet does not exceed 15 degrees, so the operation of the device in winter in this mode is not provided. Mode 3 creates enough water temperature for washing, washing hands and receiving a warm shower. The 5 kW power mode creates water temperature suitable for bathing or washing dishes.

Benefits and possible malfunctions

Feedback from consumers of Atmor products generally testifies to the high quality of the materials used in the production of this type of household appliances, and the level of their assembly. Atmor water heaters are compact, lightweight, they can be installed absolutely anywhere, and the ability to function even with very low quality of water passing through them.

These water heaters consume electricity only during operation,Some of their models are equipped with a display and have the function of smooth temperature control with a long service life. Without repair, they can function up to 10–15 years.

Shower hoses in this water heater are slightly different from standard ones.That can create certain difficulties in the event of the need to replace this part. In addition, when connecting this device, there is a need to create a separate line from the switchboard, although this is also required for instantaneous water heaters of any production.

Of course, like any other technical device, Atmor home appliances are also capable of failures, despite the high level of their reliability. For the most part this is due to the difficult operating conditions of the product. The cause of the problems can be a consistently low water pressure in the system or incorrectly selected power of the water heater.

It happens that a device with low power is connected to two or more points of water intake. In such situations, the device has to work in the mode of constantly arising maximum loads.From here comes the rapid deterioration of its parts and the accelerated failure of the product, resulting in repair.

Electronic components of the design, despite its apparent simplicity, have rather tweaked settings, so it is better for consumers to abandon the attempt to repair the problem water heater on their own. Such actions may end not only the final failure of the instantaneous water heater, but also lead to a fire or electric shock.

The only possible self-repair function for the consumer is the replacement of flexible liners.

Consumer opinions

The majority of users of the products of the Israeli manufacturer Atmor generally positively responds about water heaters of this brand. Many of them point to the dignity of these products, as compactness, which makes it easy to place them even in very small apartments.

Many consumers use Atmor water heaters for a short time., for example, while staying in the country, or as a backup heater for the duration of the shutdown of hot water in the house.Using a low-power device, they note that such a device fully satisfies their current water needs. Owners of more powerful water heaters, purchased by them for permanent use, indicate moderate and uncomplicated in the cost plan, the power consumption in the operation of such devices.

As for the negative reviews, they come from consumers who are dissatisfied with the insufficiently high water temperature during heating and with malfunctions in the operation of the Atmor equipment in the case of connecting the water heater to several water collection points.

In general, Israeli-made instantaneous electric water heaters are comfortable appliances with high build quality.
