Ariston Storage Water Heater: Device and Benefits

The Italian company Ariston, which began to produce electric water heaters in the 70s of the XX century, and today produces high-quality products, decorated the most stylish. Attractive prices and the company's desire to fully meet the expectations of its customers have turned the Ariston trademark into one of the most popular and purchased brands in the whole world. Storage water heaters of this company can be called a vivid example of a wide range of efficient and safe to use models.

Accumulative water heaters are those devices which in the people are called "boilers".The principle of operation of such heaters is simpler compared to flow products. Cold water is supplied to a volumetric tank that is fixed to the wall, then it warms up to the required temperature, and at the outlet you can get hot water. Advantages of storage water heaters Ariston:

• ease of installation;
• the possibility of using a conventional household electrical plan;
• easy maintenance;
• the ability to have in store the right amount of hot water, even if the power supply is switched off for a while;
• variety of model options;
• the fastest possible water heating.

But there are negative points:

• in the kits for these water heaters you will not find fasteners on the wall, there will not be any hoses for water supply or outflow;
• it is impossible to operate the device at interruptions in current supply;
• power consumption will increase by 1.5–3 kW per day depending on the time of year.

Electrical devices of this brand are units for heating water in the inner tank to a specific temperature. The capacity of the tank for heating water can be from 10 to 500 liters. Depending on the desired rate of heating the water, products are distinguished by the power of heating elements, and it can be from 2.5 to 1.5 kW.

Due to the fact that Ariston water heaters have automatic control, they can easily maintain the desired temperature for a long time. Insulation is made of modern materials with the best heat capacity, and therefore the heat loss can be about half a degree in 1 hour of waiting.

In general, approximately 2.5 kW per day will be used to maintain the temperature without taking liquid from the tank. A safety valve will protect the water heater from overpressure in the water supply system.

A similar kind of protection will keep the water in the product tank in an unfrozen state, and if, nevertheless, the outside temperature reaches the lowest value, the circuit itself will turn off the power supply to the product. Built-in water treatment will avoid the appearance of bacteria and various microorganisms.

The combination of modern technology, high-quality materials and an attractive appearance makes Ariston products even more in demand. In the design of the boiler there will be an external and internal tank with a corrosion-resistant coating, and in addition, also a heating element of the unit to adjust the operation of the device.

The question of the location of the boiler may arise in a room where space is seriously limited. The most popular units are products with a vertical type of arrangement that occupy the space of the room along the wall. The advantage of these models is a greater amount of time for cooling the liquid. Horizontal type of boilers can be met less often.

According to the instructions, these devices will yield to vertical models in terms of the efficiency of temperature preservation of the already heated water. Their cost is lower, and they have a specific installation process. It is possible to single out some types of storage water heaters of this manufacturer.

In the event of a power outage, if there is a danger of liquid leakage or failure of the safety valve, the heating boiler operation will qualitatively and timely block the emergency shutdown device.The Bodyguard Absolute System is present in all boilers of the storage type, as the letters ABS in the series name eloquently indicate.

The main differences of electric water heaters of this modification is the presence in the design of two storage tanks, which have two different heating elements. This will allow you to choose a quick heating for one hour or set an economical mode, if you do not need hot water so urgently.

The inside of the tank is made of silver plating to protect the product from corrosion. All indicators of the Ariston unit can be easily read from the display located on the front wall.

Electric water heaters of this model have a storage tank made of steel. Inside the tank is used enamel coating, which is protective. Ariston devices of this series have an indicator on the panel, a power control knob and a temperature scale. To protect the heating elements from rapid wear inside the tank, the magnesium anode is fixed - it does not allow scale deposits and salts to be deposited on the tank walls.

The weakest point of the heater of this manufacturer are the seams of the connection of the housing and the inner tank. The company's engineers have applied a special welding technology, which makes the seams stronger and more durable. Products with such compounds without any problems withstand even the highest pressure. To prevent the growth of microbes, silver elements are used inside the structure of any water heater. Electric thermostat will help to monitor the level of heating fluid.

The storage device will be maximally protected from any adverse effect. Therefore, even installing it in a room where water droplets may accidentally get on the body of the device, you can be confident in your own safety as well. Inside the tank of the unit is covered with a layer of dense insulation, so that all heat losses are minimal, and the efficiency of the product increased significantly. There is also a built-in magnesium anode to create a high-quality protection of internal elements from scale.

These models are represented as water heaters of the Eco series, which are made from environmentally friendly materials and do not emit harmful components and toxic fumes when they are heated up. There are models with mechanical control and electronic.The outer coating is made of polyurethane with heat-proof qualities. Inside the tank is properly treated with a high silver content coating. You can select 2 heating modes - accelerated mode and normal.

This is a series of compact electric water heaters of high power. Capacity of tanks is issued within limits to 50 l. Basically this kind of boilers have a mechanical control method. Due to the high power readings, but at the same time a small volume, they will be able to heat the water in a matter of minutes. The inner coating of the walls of the tank - titanium coating to protect against rust.

These boilers will be able, with such a need, to play the function of an indirect heating device when the dwelling is heated in the cold period of the year. After stopping the heat supply, the water heater can quickly switch to the boiler mode already to supply the required amount of hot water. Translation from one method to another is done by closing a special valve that supplies water to the heating system.

The design contains 2 thermostats for safer use. The water heater can easily work in a combination of two modes - work and for heating, and for heating water.

Inside the tank of this unit is made from medical steel of special reliability. Present system Nanomix, magnesium anode of large parameters, copper heater in the form of a tube. Outside, the tank is made of plastic, which is responsible for reducing heat loss and has a high resistance to various kinds of effects. There is also a rod thermostat here - it is responsible for the exceptional accuracy of heating, it is easy to get out of the case even without the obligatory draining of water or careful dismantling. Protection against splashes, a special indicator of heating, a safety valve to reduce pressure, reliable mounting, small size and weight.

The essential difference of this line from other models is the design in a stylish Italian design. These flowing water heaters will organically fit into any interior. They have a function called Quick Heating - rapid heating with the help of the second heating element (power of heating elements - 1 and 1.5 kW). There is a rotatable LED display with the ability to change programs, the end of heating indicator, protection against switching on without liquid in the system, protection against bacteria.

The tank itself has a flat shape.The fastest heating, protection against overheating and freezing, argon welding, the presence of a protective valve, check at 16 bar, automatic diagnostics.

If you need a small Ariston water heater under the sink, then you can take a closer look at the Ariston ABS Blu Evo RS 15U product - this is a cumulative water heater with a capacity of 1.2 kW and 15 l in volume, heating up to + 75С. Or pay attention to the product Ariston ABS Shape Small with a minimum power of 1.2 kW, a volume of 10 liters, heating water to + 75C.

When choosing a device you need to remember that it will directly depend on the type and size of the room where the boiler is installed. The main factors are how many people will operate the device and how much consumers are willing to spend on electricity per month.

Ariston water heaters with a tank capacity of 100 liters are considered to be the most in demand, as well as ordinary families of 4-5 people supply heated water. On the other hand, choosing a larger displacement volume will rarely exploit it to the maximum, especially since such a volume will require substantial costs and is rather difficult to maintain.

Therefore, tanks of 100, 120 and 200 liters are most often chosen for hotels and other establishments of this type.Ariston water heater with a tank capacity of 15 liters is perfect for two people, provided it is used once a day. But also the choice of water heater can also depend on how much time you can wait until the volume of water you need warms up. For example, units of 30-40 liters will heat water for an hour and a half, with a volume of 65 liters - about two hours, and 10-20 liters - 40 minutes.

Water heaters are needed for daily use if you do not have a central hot water supply. The presence of different sensors and temperature selection will allow you to safely use the devices. Installation of the device must be made by all the rules with the help of an experienced master. It is necessary to comply with the rules of operation:

• for the first time, switching on and off the unit must be carried out with a tank filled with liquid;
• if the batteries are damaged, replace the weak parts immediately;
• in rooms with subzero temperature it is worth draining the liquid from the heater;
• Long idle heater without heating should occur with a tightly turned on valve (valve), which brings water, and in addition, the device must be turned off.

Each Ariston electric storage unit has a different protection system. The manufacturer has installed a device here that will not allow the device to turn on without water. There is also a safety shutdown function. The boiler is made in such a way as to completely eliminate the electric shock.

If you want to clean the boiler, it is best to contact an experienced master - it is better not to perform such processes yourself in order to avoid product breakage.

To save money, you can turn on the equipment only at night, when the bill is kept at low rates, and use heated water in the morning. Opinions about the Ariston brand products are significantly divided among users. The majority of consumers in their reviews say that a correctly selected boiler of a company without breakdowns will work for about 8-9 years, that the unit perfectly keeps the temperature, the control panel is easy to use, the controller is located well, it is quite convenient to use it.

However, there are those buyers who have encountered problems in the operation of this product: they note a poor sensitivity of the regulator, a difficult choice of the required temperature (thermometer divisions in certain models are purely conditional), frequent failures with electronics, leakage of the boiler in the first year of use if improperly installed.
