 Bulk water heaters: design features and review of models

In our time, it would seem, not to find a home without hot water. However, this is only an appearance: there are many residential buildings without water supply. For such cases bulk water heaters were created. This article will discuss their design features and existing models.

Device

Water heaters can be of various designs. Their design is justified by destination, location and many other factors. For the manufacture of drives can be used various types of plastics, stainless steel and galvanized steel.

Capacities from stainless steel differ in long service life and high reliability, however their cost is significantly higher, than at plastic products.

Different heaters have their own design features. However, each of them must contain certain elements.

Without them, heating and water supply will be impossible:

  • airtight container;
  • TEN;
  • crane;
  • thermostat;
  • heating mode indication system.

The water heater can be equipped with a hose and a spray for a liquid. This will help the owner take a shower with warm water. There are also whole sets for the organization of shower rooms in country conditions. In such sets there are pallets, blinds.

Advantages and disadvantages

Bulk-type boilers are designed for use in the absence of organized water supply. They are designed so that the water in them can and should be poured mechanically.

When operating in such conditions, the boiler will please the owners with the following advantages:

  • economical power consumption and low power;
  • mobility and compactness (you can move the device on your own);
  • sufficiently rapid heating of the liquid;
  • preservation of temperature for a long time;

  • safety in operation (protection from work on the "dry");
  • relatively low cost;
  • good warranty period;
  • availability of service centers (the possibility of repair of any complexity).

    As for the flaws, with the right choice of the type of device, the user may never encounter them.

    However, it’s still worth telling about them:

    • limited functionality (a washbasin boiler cannot be used for a shower);
    • Since the self-leveling model uses electric energy for heating, in the situation of its absence it is impossible to warm the water.

    • Shower option. A distinctive feature of the described device is a capacious tank equipped with a hose and a watering can. It can easily accommodate a hundred or more liters of cold water. The rest of the design is the same as in other models.
