Rating of the best models of gas water heaters

The lack of hot water supply is not a problem - everything is solved by installing a good water heater. Excellent proven gas options. However, in the modern assortment it is very easy to get confused, so even before going to the store, you need to figure out in advance which geyser is better and get expert feedback on specific products.

What to focus on when choosing such equipment

There are many manufacturers of such units - among them there are a lot of worthy and reliable options. It is important to focus on the following indicators:

• power technology;
• type of ignition;
• type of burner;
• security.

The power characteristic affects its overall performance. In fact, it determines the amount of water with which the device can handle for a certain period of time. Power can be low (from 17 to 19 kW), medium (22-24 kW), high (from 28 to 31 kW). When choosing capacity, one should be guided by the estimated number of water intake points in the dwelling.. If there are several of them (and their simultaneous operation is assumed), then it is better to stop at the unit with medium and high power.

Current type of ignition. Previously, a lighter and matches were used for this. Modern models suggest semi-automatic or completely improved automatic system. In the automatic machines, a spark will be provided by a turbine or a battery, and to start it is enough just to open the hot water tap. There is also piezo-ignition (semi-automatic version), which involves pressing the dedicated button. What is bad here is that this method increases fuel consumption (the wick will burn after the ignition is completed).

It is worth paying attention to the type of burner. You should not take the one that has constant power - you have to adjust it,adjusting to the pressure of water in the system. The best idea of ​​the developers - if the power will be modulating. Such an element is independently capable of adjusting to the jet, then the temperature will be relevant.

Finally, in the matter of reliability, you should pay attention to safety. Modern models of geysers are equipped with three levels of protection, which manifests itself at different incidents - inadvertent termination of the flame, the sudden appearance of reverse thrust. Special hydraulic valves are also provided to help avoid overheating.

It is also important how the products of combustion will be discharged - this can be done using the turbo method and with the help of a chimney. In the first case, everything will go straight out onto the street, and in the second, into the chimney system.

Analysis of popular gas columns

Experts in the field of similar technology have already made a rating of gas columns. The opinion of experts formed the basis for the review, which represents the top 5 best brands specializing in their manufacture.

1 place for Bosch WR 10-2P

The undoubted leader of the review is the model Bosch WR 10-2P. It attracted ordinary users with its stylish design and compact size. The unit will fit harmoniously even in a small room.Specialists unanimously recognize her most reliable: automatic ignition system in use. The device itself is activated when you open the tap with hot water. The limitation on the heating temperature is also considered. The ignition is carried out with the help of a piezo - no batteries will be needed.

With such a technique you should not worry about the pressure - it will work, even if it is not distinguished by stable pressure. By the way, it is possible to regulate the flame and the temperature of the liquid with the help of special regulators.

However, there is such a "perfection" and small flaws.

1. The performance of the model is approximately 10 liters per minute. This is considered not the best indicator.
2. Water quality affects its performance.
3. To clean the device, it must be completely disassembled.
4. Service is expensive, and not every city has an authorized Bosch office. In addition, immediately have to prepare for expensive original parts.

2nd place at Ariston Fast Evo 11C

Ariston Fast Evo 11C is on a par with its competitor from Bosch: it is also able to work even at a nominal pressure of 0.1 bar in the water supply. There is also a well-thought-out security system: flame control, thermostat protecting against overheating, and a traction sensor. You can set the maximum temperature (limit of 65 ° C).

One of the main advantages is network operationThat better option with able to sit down at any time with batteries. Heating power of 19 kW will provide 11 l per minute of working time.

Column Ariston Fast Evo 11C

There is also a minus, which did not allow this device to take the leading place in the top - the temperature on its digital display is displayed incorrectly.

The best low-cost offer in 3rd place from Neva Lux 5514

So, without a doubt, you can call the option Neva Lux 5514 - this option can easily compete on the quality of the assembly with expensive foreign offers. Of course, the functionality here is not as chic as that of well-known brands, but overall the model is impressive:

• auto ignition;
• intuitive controls;
• independent of water pressure (can be adjusted using hydraulic adjustment);
• the case does not heat up during operation;
• can work with two points of water intake (at the same time there will be no temperature drops);
• there is a gas control;
• The combustion chamber is cooled by a water system.

Users are fascinated by another point - the initial settings are valid for several years. Everything will work efficiently and not get lost.

The following disadvantages hinder the rise in the top:

• noticeable noise during operation;
• battery replacement;
• costly in the case of a heat exchanger.

Advantages and disadvantages of Mora Vega 10 in 4th place

The Czech manufacturer from Mora Top Vega 10 has a capacity of less than 10 liters, but it won fourth place in the top of the best geysers due to another number of advantages:

• European build quality (manufacturers promise that there is not a single detail from the Middle Kingdom in the design);
• copper heat exchanger (increases efficiency to 92.5%);
• tubeless technology;
• a full range of security systems (does not start without water, protection against overheating, from the appearance of reverse thrust, the presence of fuses for the operation of the burners).

Column Mora Vega 10

Unlike competitors, Mora Top has a more tangible weight - at least 2.5 kg. However, there is a drawback: with a weak water pressure, the device may simply not turn on (the manufacturer laid the calculation at least 0.2 bar).

5th place for Zanussi GWH 10 Fonte

Excellent gas water heater Zanussi GWH 10 Fonte quickly and efficiently heat the water in the cottage or apartment. The unit will look good in any interior, it makes little noise and economical use of resources. Productivity can be adjusted from 5 to 10 l / minute.The equipment will work even with low water pressure (literally from 0.15 bar). The loss of the device is that its operation will require periodic replacement of batteries.

Column Zanussi GWH 10 Fonte

All submitted samples - the best gas water heaters, despite the distributed space. The choice will already be determined by the objective and subjective indicators that the buyer expects from its acquisition.

Among other, not included in the list, but no less worthy representatives can be called Vaillant, Electrolux, Termaxi, Beretta, Vector.

Recommendations for the best work equipment

Having decided on which gas column is better, the buyer purchases a new equipment. No matter which model was chosen from the proposed top - to make it work better, you need to listen to useful tips.

1. You must trust the installation and connection qualified professionalsAfter all, the settings made directly affect the quality of her work.
2. The output temperature should not exceed 60 degrees (for some models 40 will be enough). This is necessary to prevent the formation of scale that will collect on the membrane.
3. If you know in advance about hard waterit is better to equip the unit in advance with a system that will prevent the deposition of salts.
4. During the operation of the device it is prohibited to adjust the temperature by opening the tap from cold water. This will cause the system to generate steam and excessive pressure due to excessive hot water. This is also bad because water can start leaking from the heat exchanger.
5. It is important to regularly clean the igniter and heat exchanger. Here it is imperative to clear the blockages that appear from the products of combustion.
6. It is also important to follow the pressure of water - if it is insufficient, you will have install a special pump.

Such prevention will help the device perform its “duties” well, and users enjoy hot water all year round.
