Electrolux Instantaneous Water Heaters: Product Range

Flow-type Electrolux water heaters are compact and stylishly designed boilers that can heat water to high temperatures in an extremely short period of time. The devices of this manufacturer are most popular due to the many advantages.

The neat streamlined shape of the box is the body inside which is located a tubular electric water heater. When it is supplied with a small head, it warms up quickly, this is due to a certain thermal performance of the structure.

The equipment consists of several important elements, including:

• copper heater;
• overheating prevention sensor;
• power mode regulator to help reduce power consumption;
• hydraulic control with the ability to connect and turn off when the pressure changes in the water supply system or lack of water.

The degree of heating of the fluid may depend on the following conditions:

• the current temperature of the incoming water;
• its total number;
• power of the equipment itself.

Automatic switching on and off of the boiler occurs during the opening of the mixer, therefore, the power consumption occurs only during heating.

On average, the instantaneous water heater heats the water that passes through in just one minute or less, and it immediately goes to the user. It turns out that the functions of such a device are almost the same as those of a gas column, but there are differences, and they consist in the preferential characteristics of Electrolux products.

This device is of interest to city dwellers, especially it is important in the summer when, for preventive purposes, the hot water supply is turned off. It will also be useful for the new settlers, because very often in new buildings hot water may not be supplied for some time.

Electrolux models have a number of undoubted advantages, which make them in demand:

• due to its modest dimensions, it is easy to place equipment in the bathroom even at its small size, which, of course, speaks in favor of the electric heater in comparison with storage units;
• installation does not require the permission of special services;
• it does not matter if the equipment is used rarely or often, there is no stagnation of water in the device;

• the design is almost not subject to breakdowns and malfunctions, in addition, it has a long service life;
• installation can be done by hand, so there is no need to call the master, the same applies to maintenance;
• if you wish, you can warm up a large volume of liquid, picking up a more powerful modification;
• Electrolux line of devices provides devices in which, along with heating elements, there is also a spiral.

But, of course, the main advantage - the rapid production of hot water.

The downsides of the heating system are:

• the need for grounding installation;
• the possibility of obtaining hot water in only one place, depending on the location of the equipment (in some models);
• when the water heater is supplied with heating elements, the water pressure drops can disable it, if, moreover, the “threshold” option is present in the device, such a model simply will not start;
• for the construction to work correctly, it is important that the quality of the wiring is excellent, and the voltage should not decrease, otherwise it will be impossible to obtain the required water temperature, despite the settings of the regulator.

Whatever the pros and cons of the models, buyers are invariably pleased with their cost, since it is much lower than the price of a gas column type device.

Not too understanding this technique, it is sometimes difficult to choose the right model. Experts in this field advise making choices based on the important characteristics of devices.

Different modifications may have excellent qualities and different options, so it is worth considering several types of products.

• Smart fix - these are devices with a small capacity of up to 3.6 kW and copper heating elements, produced in all three configurations. The control is hydraulic; the device can turn on and off automatically when the water pressure changes. The models provide sensors that exclude overheating, and power regulators.
• Smart Fix 2.0 - more powerful equipment (from 3.5 to 6 kW), it works only after the valve is opened and the start button on the control panel is activated. A single-phase network with parameters 220-230 V and 50 Hz is suitable for a water heater. The device disconnects at a temperature of 80 degrees.

• Electrolux NPX 6 Sensomatic - the model has a vertically elongated rounded shape. The control display is located on the front panel. The modification has a power of 5.7 kW. This unit can serve two points, but when used simultaneously, the water pressure will be much weaker than expected. This device is equipped with protection against leakage, burns and power regulator.
• Electrolux NPX 9 Flow Active - instantaneous water heater, which, despite the relatively high power of 8-8.5 kW, produces heating using a single-phase electrical network.Its features are stainless steel heating elements, built-in filter, protection against breakdowns in air traffic jams, temperature control and control (optimal heating +30 - +60 degrees).

The high functionality of the model is explained by the presence of a built-in heating spiral made of stainless steel. There are other advantages to this small design:

• convenient size and type of placement to protect the device from moisture and dust (the model is fixed under the sink or above it);
• the absence of scale and the impossibility of overheating;
• full automatic on and off;
• high power - up to 5.7 kW;
• hydraulic control;
• nice appearance.

Heating elements of household heating systems use power from 2 to 5 kW, such devices are mainly used in apartments. They can operate when two TENs are switched on simultaneously or each separately.

Thanks to the design, the model can harmoniously look at any type of bathroom interior, and the device is able to serve several water-supplying devices.

Summarizing the ideas expressed by many users about Electrolux water heaters, we can conclude that for residential premises and, in particular, for an apartment, it is wiser to purchase models with higher productivity, that is, no less than 5 kW, and in some cases even higher. The fact is that not everyone will like to wash or wash dishes under a thin jet with a weak pressure. Even some modifications of such a popular system as Aquatronic, for example, NP6, suffer from such a disadvantage.

The Electrolux Smart Fix 3.5t device is recognized as the most problematic model - even the low price does not cover its drawbacks. Good reviews have been made regarding the High Line SP / Multitronic SP device. It is a system with high power up to 27 kW and uninsulated spiral.

Separate opinion is expressed about the water heater Aquatronic. Many people in this product like the fact that with the help of his water heats up instantly, the equipment has a long service life and it actually does not require repair.

Despite all the remarkable qualities of Swedish products, after a certain time the heating elements can fail due to corrosion,scaling or spiral burnout. Then it is required to remove the heater and clean it.

Often this situation occurs due to the destruction of the magnesium anode, without which the heaters are subject to corrosion. Such parts need to be replaced with new ones in time, and thus the service life of the product will increase.

Electrolux instantaneous water heaters are advanced models designed to make human living conditions more comfortable. But when buying, you should not choose the cheapest devices, in this case the savings are irrelevant, as equipment with high performance and many useful options will last much longer and will break less.
