Have you already decided on the choice of a device for heating water? Now we have completed the purchase, very little remains: to connect the device to
the water supply system. This is not always easy to do. Every man who is used to doing homework himself knows how to connect a flowing water heater. But in some situations it is advisable to call a specialist. Suppose if there are plastic pipes in the house, then installation should be carried out using a special method of cold welding - soldering. Let's look at the instructions on how to install a instantaneous water heater.
Connection to a water utility
Before proceeding with the installation of a water heater, it is necessary to make a connection point to the power source. There are two types of water heaters: electric and gas.
- How to connect a instantaneous water heater to electricity? Everything is quite simple. First you need to check how much current the home mains can withstand. If you figured it out, then there will be no problems: you can safely put the machine (electric power switch) and connect the device. If the mains cannot withstand the voltage from the water heater, consult an electrician. You may need to change the entire electricity supply system in the house.
- How to connect a gas-fired instantaneous water heater? To begin with, even this device needs electricity. The geyser has a panel of programs that work from the mains. But in the process of heating the liquid, only gas takes part. This type of fuel in the combustion process emits enough heat to heat the water.
Connection Features
How to connect a instantaneous water heater? Each model of this device has two tubes: for cold water (inlet) and for hot (outlet from the heater). Before connecting the device, determine for what needs you need it. If you need hot water only in the bathroom, then the exit from the device can be directly connected to a tap near it. In this way, residents of apartments most often use it, because they need a flowing water heater only for the period when the centralized hot water supply is turned off . To do this, you can connect the device directly to the mixer in the shower. Residents of private homes in this regard were unlucky: they have no way to get warm water from the central system. In the event that it is necessary to ensure the flow of water into the kitchen, into the sink, shower, the water heater is installed on the entire system for supplying water to the house.
Advice
- The first step before attaching the instantaneous water heater is to install a power source. This approach is not only rational, but also safe, because there are often cases when the owner overestimated the capabilities of the electrical system in the house and as a result received burned wiring. Moreover, the connection to the power source must be correct so that the plugs on the meter do not knock out the device’s high power.
- Before buying a water heater, consult a specialist in order not to later regret the low power of the device and poor heating of the liquid.
- If you are going on vacation or to the country, do not forget to turn off the machine on the power supply panel. This will save your apartment from possible troubles.
