Wood-burning water heaters are in great demand among residents of private houses, baths and country houses. They can be mounted in any place that has limited access to gas. Power plants do not always have enough power to provide remote areas with electricity. That is why wood-fired boilers are so necessary for residents of small towns and villages.

Water heaters operating on wood occupy a leading position in the market of household appliances. They are distinguished by reliability and efficiency, which allows them to compete with other boilers. Manufacturers create devices taking into account the conditions that may arise in a particular territory.Therefore, in modern stores you can easily find a device with a convenient configuration for a particular customer.

Depending on the purpose, the following types of boilers are distinguished:

• air heaters - by heating the air they are able to provide a dwelling with hot water; they have a built-in furnace called “titanium”;
• air heaters with a separate column;
• combined units designed to create and maintain an optimal temperature inside the house;
• water heaters - by means of a spiral-shaped container, provide heating of the water and maintaining a comfortable temperature.

The most famous wood boiler is titanium. It has been very popular with customers for several decades. Titanium not only warms the water, but also successfully maintains the temperature in the house up to 60 m2. The versatility of the device allows it to work not only on wood, but also on coal and other types of solid fuel. And his unpretentiousness allows him to work for a long time and effectively in any conditions.

Titanium has excellent performance properties due to well-thought-out design.The heater is made of cast iron, and the storage tank is made of stainless steel. In the middle of the device is a pipe from which the products of combustion are removed. The cold water supply pipe is connected to the storage tank. Water, passing through the radiator system, heats up and warms the surrounding space. And the installation of the mixer provides uninterrupted access to water.

Currently, many manufacturers of household equipment specialize in the production of wood-burning water heaters. The optimal solution for heating water in various types of premises is to purchase wood-burning dispensers from the Ukrainian manufacturer Danko. All devices of this brand are created using the latest technology that allows you to regularly expand the range.

The water inside the tank can heat up in just half an hour, but the tank should always be full. Special attention received hot-water column "Ermak KVL-90", which is ideal for installation in the country.

More and more positive reviews can be found about wood stoves "Sloboda Plant." They consist of a firebox, a water heating tank and a mixer. They work from any solid fuel, except coal.

In modern stores of household appliances you can find a lot of offers of water heaters on the wood. Among the variety of models is easy to get confused, so you should carefully examine each of them.

It is worth noting that usually the columns are made from alloys consisting of stainless steel. The inner coating of some models may include enamel. These materials allow you to maintain the temperature of the water inside the tank, however, only as long as the firewood is put into the furnace.

The flow-through instrument must have neat, well-cleaned seams. All external elements and removable components should be well kept in their grooves. If the device is in doubt about the reliability, it is best to abandon its purchase.

Obviously, a small container, unlike a large one, quickly heats up. Therefore, if the device is intended for use by a small family, then there is no point in acquiring a 90-liter tank.

A mixer, heating element and a hose can be supplied with the column. Choosing the ideal device, it is worth deciding on the placement of the mixer, which can be on the left or right side of the furnace.

Having decided on the choice, it is important to carefully examine all the documentation that is on the wood-burning boiler. The list of documents should include a technical passport, instruction manual and warranty card.
