The Electrolux catalog offers an impressive range of water heaters. Without exaggeration, each product characteristic leaves room for choice.

Swedish boilers differ by several criteria.

• Type of operation: storage and flow.
• Power supply. Electrolux offers models powered by electricity and gas water heaters.
• The volume of heated fluid: 10, 20, 50, 80 and 150 liters.
• The principle of regulation of work: mechanics or electronics.
• Installation method Different models can be mounted on the wall (horizontally or vertically) or placed on the floor. Different possibilities of connection to the source of liquid (above or below) are taken into account.
• External configuration: with a rectangular or oval case.
• Surface material: enameled coating or stainless steel.

Such models involve a set of water, heating and maintaining a high temperature of the liquid in the tank for several sessions of use. The principle of the cumulative boiler: the liquid is heated in an internal container with a capacity from 10-15 to 150 liters. The temperature of the heated water for a long time is maintained by automatic heating.

Advantages of storage devices:

• energy savings, even in conditions of constant water heating;
• independence from the power characteristics of the electricity network;
• simultaneous use of several points of water pumping.

Minuses:

• in overall boilers there is a slow heating of large volumes of water;
• bulky sizes limit the possibility of placing the product in small spaces.

Popular series of Electrolux water heaters of accumulative type.

• Centurio. The collection is presented in several versions of the capacity range of 30-100 liters. Swedish storage boilers have a flat body and are relatively compact in size.There is a choice among heaters for vertical and horizontal installation. The inner coating of the tank for heating - medical steel, stainless steel. The manufacturer ensures reliability of operation due to argon welding of elements. Centurio products are equipped with a limited power feature, which makes them adapt to any power grid features. In full power mode, the manufacturer guarantees faster heating.

• Quantum and Magnum boilers - in general, they are the same in functional properties and have minor variations in design. The boilers of the series have a steel enameled heating tank. It provides corrosion protection and durability. Capacity range - 30-100 liters. The case has a rounded shape and a small width: the most “slim” models of both Slim lines are about 35 cm. A profitable economical mode of operation is available, maintaining the fluid temperature at 55 degrees.

• SL. Boilers are supplied with accumulative tanks with a capacity from 15 to 200 l.A feature of the SL series is the presence of 2 individual water-protected heating elements. Operation is guaranteed for 8 years. When the economy mode is on, one of the heating elements is functioning.
• Axiomaticb - the series includes 6 variants of boilers with volumes in the range of 30-150 l. Innovation line - enhanced protection of heating elements and a record warranty period of use - 15 years. The attractiveness of Axiomatic models is enhanced by its technologically advanced appearance and intuitive operation control system.

Such boilers are designed for the current operation of heated water. Flow-through boilers do not need a tank to retain fluid. Performance varies by heater model. Flowing devices require high-quality electrical wiring for safe and efficient operation of the device.

Advantages of flow boilers:

• heating efficiency;
• compact body;
• ease of installation in spaces of any size.

Offers brand Electrolux in the market of instantaneous water heaters.

• Minifix - a series of functional ergonomic devices. A distinctive feature is the exceptional compactness of the case.From the point of view of technical characteristics, the products are attractive with a powerful "dry" heater.

What you need to consider when choosing and buying a water heater.

• Power characteristics. If the electric boiler has a capacity of 18 to 27 kW, it will require a connection to the 380 V electrical network.
• When buying a cumulative product: the maximum capacity. Heating of large volumes of fluid is slower, but covers all economic needs. When calculating the acceptable volume of a boiler, you need to build on characteristics such as the number of users and water points. As a baseline, it’s worth taking about 40 liters of water per person and 1 point of use of hot water. If a small area does not allow to install a large heater, you can buy two: with a large volume for the bathroom and a smaller one - for kitchen needs.

• When choosing flow: work efficiency. It is measured in the number of liters that the device is capable of heating per minute of work. The more powerful the boiler, the lower the cost of water and electricity.
• Power supply. Gas water heaters are more laborious to install, but economical because of the cheap gas. Electrical products will significantly increase utility costs for electricity.
• Enclosure configuration. It is necessary to build on the size and layout of the place provided for the installation of the boiler. In small squares appropriate narrow flat heaters.
• Control method. The touchpad is comfortable and modern.Traditional mechanical control promises longer life.

It is better to entrust the complex of works on installation and preparation of the boiler for operation to professionals. Masters know the specifics of working with heaters of a particular manufacturer and use the appropriate set of tools for installation.
