Infusion water heaters for villas

For many of us, coming from the tap hot water in the country - this is not a luxury, but practically a vital necessity. That is why with the beginning of the summer season, more and more vacationers are purchasing various kinds of water heating devices for their plots. The type of water heater depends on many different factors, including what utilities are connected to the house.

If the cottage is connected to the gas pipeline, then usually buy a gas boiler, and if not - then the electric. If the house is equipped with a water supply, then most often choose between the flow-through and storage device. In the absence of a water supply line, there are no alternatives - only a storage water heater. Read more about this type of equipment in our article today.

Pouring water heater - this is the only possible solution for those who do not have the opportunity to organize at least some semblance of a water pipe on the homestead plot. In this case, water to the house is usually delivered from the nearest column or well, or brought directly from the city.

This type of water heater is usually a water tank equipped with a heating element. Water is poured into the tank manually from a flask or canister. The volume of the tank of the water heater, as a rule, is small - it is from 5 to 20 liters.

It is believed that water heaters have long been outdated, but in fact, a huge number of dacha owners continue to use such devices. Despite the fact that more modern varieties of water heaters are much more convenient, pour-type devices are not devoid of advantages. Among the most significant advantages of this model can be called:

• ease of installation and operation;
• rapid water heating (thanks to the small volume of the tank);
• low cost;
• strength and durability;
• compactness and small weight;
• economy in energy consumption.

The design of the water heater is very simple - in many respects that is why it has gained such popularity among dacha residents. In the device of this kind of devices you can distinguish three main elements: the water tank, the heating element and the spout with a faucet. At the same time, the faucet can be ordinary or with a mixer. In the latter case, the water heater must be equipped with an additional tank, from which cold water will flow to the mixer.

The device of most water heaters is about the same, but they can differ in some features of design and a set of functions. Let's look at a few of the most common varieties of this type of water heater.

Perhaps the most common type of water heater is the "washedodyr", which gets its name because of its external resemblance to the main character of the cartoon of the same name. It is a cabinet with a built-in kitchen sink or washbasin. Above the sink is a water tank, to which the heating element is connected.

Depending on the model, water heating can be automatic or manual. Most modern "washer-dryers" are equipped with a system of protection against overheating and switching on when the tank is empty.

Even more laconic design has a pouring water heater, which is designed to compensate for the absence of a shower in the dacha. This device is a rather large water tank with a shower hose and a shower head attached to it.

Such a device can be installed in any place equipped with an electrical outlet. Most often it is placed in the summer shower. Like the "washer-dryer", it is usually equipped with safety features that make it safer to use.

A more advanced modification of the water heater with a shower - it is a set for the arrangement of a shower cabin. It includes not only a water tank and shower head, but also a tray, a shower screen or curtain and a set of fasteners.

Such a system can run on electricity or gas. You can use solar heat to heat the water in the tank, but only on clear, hot enough days. Such a device is quite possible to make yourself from improvised materials. You only need to find a suitable size tank and a device that will perform the function of the heater.

We've already mentioned that electric water heaters are most often powered by electricity. Gas, wood, solar power and other ways of heating water are used in such devices much less frequently. Despite the greater convenience, safety of operation and many other advantages, electric water heaters also have their disadvantages.

1. First, electric energy is more expensive than gas, so such devices are less economical. Secondly, the heating element, due to which the water is heated, is subject to corrosion and scale formation, which can disable the device.
2. And finally, during power outages, which are not uncommon in dachas and villages, you risk to remain without hot water.

• Choosing a water heater, read about the model you like on the Internet. Reviews of real owners of the device will give you more complete and objective information than the promises of manufacturers.
• The most important parameters to consider when choosing a hot water heater for the cottage are the method of heating, the volume of the tank and power. We also advise you to ask the seller whether the device is capable of supplying water to several water outlets.

Installation of the hot water heater in the country house is a very simple task, which can easily be handled alone, without any special experience in this area. Detailed installation instructions and a set of necessary fasteners come with the device, so there should not be much difficulty. We will give you a couple of recommendations that will help you perform the installation without mistakes.

• Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that the surface will withstand the load of the water heater. Take into account not only the weight of the device itself, but also the weight of the water. You need to be especially careful when installing on a wall made of plasterboard and other fragile materials.
• Electric water heaters usually have a small capacity, so they do not create an increased load on the network. However, for your own safety, you should be sure to connect a ground connection to a working socket. The fuse will also not be superfluous, but if the power of the water heater is small, you can do without it.
