Ariston brand water heaters review

The Italian company Ariston Thermo Group has been manufacturing water heaters for over 50 years. Among buyers, the products of this company are in special demand, as Ariston water heaters have proven to be reliable and durable in operation, with built-in modern features and a pleasant design.

Types of water heaters Ariston

Ariston water heaters can be divided into:

• electric, flow type;
• electrical storage;
• gas flow;
• gas accumulative;
• indirect water heaters.

Electric flow type

Flow-through units consist of a small tank in which a powerful heating element is located. Water heats up due to the fact that, passing through this tank, is in contact with the heater.

For example, the Ariston BRAVO M 3323 U-PV1 unit, has a power of 3.3 kW and is capable of heating water at a speed of 4 liters per minute. Of course, it is impossible to take a hot shower, but it is quite possible to wash with warm water. There are also protochnik models with power up to 10 kW and above. Not all wiring can withstand such a load, but for powerful devices, over 6 kW, will need three phase electrical network. Low-power water heaters are often used in the country. They are easy to connect and maintain, they take up little space.

Disadvantages of flow-through devices: high power consumption, requires enhanced electrical wiring, the inability to use water at several points of consumption.

Electric storage

Electric storage water heaters can be vertical or horizontal. According to the principle of operation, boilers are not particularly complex:

• In the inner tank is installed the heating element, which heats the liquid surrounding it, to the required temperature;
• thermostat turns off the heat when the required performance is achieved;
• cold water is supplied from the bottom, and the fence is heated from above;
• to reduce corrosion of the internal tank is set magnesium anode;
• between the inner tank and the outer tank there is a thick layer of thermal insulation that does not allow the water to cool for a long time.

Ariston electric water heaters are the most popular models. They can be the displacement from the smallest to 10 liters, to the largest - 200 liters. ABS ANDRIS LUX ECO 10U is a device with a volume of 10 liters, has a small size, so that it can be placed above the sink. The unit quickly heats the fluid: its power is 3.3 kW.

Based on the description, it will not be possible to fully take a shower with such a boiler, but its performance will be sufficient for washing hands and dishes. Often this model buy to give.

The only drawback: if there is no pressure in the water supply, the device does not work.

Among the units of the firm ARISTON with a capacity of 15 liters can be distinguished model ABS BLU EVO RS 15U. The power of heating elements in this device is designed for 1.2 kW. The water is heated to a temperature of 80 degrees in 44 minutes. The water heater uses an internal stainless steel water tank, as well as a magnesium anode (this part of the device prevents corrosion). Due to the fact that the water supply and drain pipes are located on top of the device, it can be set under the sink. The device is controlled by a mechanical regulator, rotary type.

The ARISTON PLATINUM INDUSTRIAL 150 M 3KW boiler has a capacity of 150 liters, and its twin ARISTON PLATINUM INDUSTRIAL 200 M 3KW has a capacity of 200 liters. They look the same and their operating instructions will not differ. The machines differ only in displacement. In addition, models of boilers for 150 liters, as well as for 200 and 300 liters are already floor type devices. These devices can be single-phase at 3 kW and three-phase at 6 kW. Special treatment of the inner tank of steel, as well as welding of the seams using the micro plazma tig technology, guarantees a long service life.

Gas flow

If there is a gas main in an apartment or a private house, the installation of a flow-through gas water heater (gas column) would be an advantageous solution, since the cost of gas is much less than the price of electricity. The geyser works by the simple principle:

• gas burns in a special chamber, giving off heat to the heat exchanger;
• cold water, passing through the heat exchanger and absorbing energy, heats up;
• heated water is supplied to the points of consumption.

One of the most popular gas flow units can be called the device Ariston Fast Evo 11C. Gas, flow type, water heater ariston of this model is characterized by stable operation, and it is used as ignition automatic systempowered by the mains. This option is more preferable than using batteries, which sit at the most inopportune moment. Also, the gas instantaneous water heater ariston can heat the liquid up to 65 degrees (maximum), has an LCD display. Its performance at a power of 19 kW - 11 liters per minute.

Gas storage

Gas storage water heater, in contrast to the flow, has a design fluid container. During the combustion of gas, the liquid in the tank heats up and maintains the temperature for a long time due to good thermal insulation between the tank and the unit body. Heating is regulated by a thermostat, the task of which is to shut off the gas supply when the required temperature is reached.

This design saves gas, because it does not require its constant inclusion when using water.

The model of a gas boiler ARISTON SUPER SGA is in great demand.This unit has a small capacity of 50 liters, and can operate from both natural and liquefied gas. The unit has an enameled coating of the inner tank, a built-in magnesium anode, piezo ignition, a temperature controller, an external steel case. The water heater is accumulative, characterized by an economical gas consumption. Installation - wall.

Indirect heating boilers

Boilers Ariston indirect heating initially do not have their own source of heating. They use third party coolant in the form of a heated fluid from the heating system. The liquid passes through the heat exchanger and returns to the boiler. At this time, the water in the inner tank absorbs the heat energy from the heat exchanger and is ready for use in a short period of time.

Indirect heating water heaters are rational to use in private homes when there are many people in a family, since they can have a large volume of up to 1000 liters and are able to satisfy the need for hot water of a large family.

Devices with a displacement of up to 200 liters can be wall mounted.

For example, an ARISTON BC1S 450L MAGNESIUM floor standing indirect heating boiler has a tank capacity of 450 liters.In addition to the heating system it is possible connect to the solar battery, as well as the opportunity to install heating elements is implemented in it, after which the device turns into a universal one. About the multifaceted use of the indirect heating apparatus can be found in the instruction manual.

The main disadvantage of indirect heating units is their high price. But during operation, it is compensated by the fact that electricity and gas are not used to heat water.

Preventive maintenance

No matter how expensive the boiler is, it requires regular preventive maintenance. Especially boiler Ariston, where heating elements are used for heating. To reach it, from the unit it is necessary drain the liquid.

Before you drain the water from the ariston electric water heater, make sure that it is disconnected from the power supply and that the cold water supply is also shut off.

Next, do the following:

• on the faucet located near the cold water pipe (in the picture, right), put the hose on and direct it to any container or toilet, if it is nearby;
• open hot water on the mixer for pressure relief in the tank;
• open the right valve and start draining the water;
• when the water flow decreases, it is necessary to open the valve connected to the hot water connection (in the figure, on the left) - air will begin to leak into the tank and the drain will continue.

After draining the water, you can proceed to disconnect all the electrical wires under the boiler lid (it is recommended to take a proper photo of their proper placement). Next, you need to unscrew the nuts on the flange and remove it from the tank (do not forget to substitute any container to drain the remaining liquid). If TEN strongly overgrown with scum, clean it with an appropriate product sold in household chemicals stores.

In cases where the coolant out of order, then TEN for a water heater Ariston can be got in the market, in a specialized shop, in online store, or in the service center. In the same place for water heaters Ariston you can buy other parts.

Ariston water heaters are intended for indoor use only. An important fact is that for the repair of the unit any spare parts are available for sale, and also that only good reviews are heard from all the models of units manufactured by Ariston.
