Over the years, Bosch Trading Corporation has been considered one of the most legendary. The company is very successful in presenting its products around the world, ranging from power tools and ending with large household appliances. A completely separate line of this world famous brand is considered heating equipment.
For a long time, gas and solid fuel boilers are considered the most popular. Russian consumers most often prefer to buy mostly Bosch brand speakers. This demand is due primarily to the quality, durability and reasonable cost of equipment from a German manufacturer.
Distinctive features of units
Bosch has a very large lineup of speakers compared to its rivals. Each model differs by type of ignition, performance, design and dimensions. As for colors, the German company produces units in white and gray shades.
Almost all gas water heaters are designed in Germany, with the exception of only inexpensive modifications that are assembled in China. Currently, certain Bosch gas water heater series are on the market. When choosing, it is first of all advisable to rely on the necessary performance and financial capabilities.
Therm 2000 Series O
This column refers to the budget segment. Its capacity is ten liters of hot water per minute. This Bosch gas instantaneous water heater is equipped with self-ignition, a stainless steel burner, and a tubular copper heat exchanger.
Also in the column there is a flame control, a gas control system and an emergency traction sensor. The column is quite small and costs an average of about 8 thousand rubles.
Therm 4000 Series O
Units of this series are considered the most common. Manufacturers produce them both with an automatic ignition system from batteries, and with a piezo. Units have several types of different power and performance. Due to the fact that in these columns there is a benign copper heat exchanger, their service life is at least fifteen years.
In addition, all models in this series are equipped with smooth modulation of the burner flame. Another significant advantage of such columns is that they are connected even at a water pressure of only 0.1 atmosphere and they have a gas control system.
Therm 4000 S Series
The main characteristic feature of these models is the existence of a fan for forced traction. Therefore, they can function without a chimney. They are most often used in apartments.
Another characteristic feature of these columns is the presence of a digital control panel, thanks to which you can find out all the errors and malfunctions of the column. Models are available in three power types and capacities from 12 to 18 liters per minute.
Therm 6000 Series O
Such a gas instantaneous water heater is equipped with an integrated hydrogenerator and technology that automatically turns on the column. The model is equipped with a small LCD display, which reflects the temperature of the water. The performance of the models is 10, 13 and 15 liters per minute.
Therm 6000 S and 8000 S Series
These geysers are industrial. Their productivity is 24 and 27 liters per minute. Thanks to these indicators, such models are capable of supplying several points of water intake simultaneously. They have electric ignition and an information display.
Bosch gas water heater
Many consumers who purchase water heaters do not even have an idea of how the Bosch geysers are arranged. The internal design of a German-made unit consists of a housing, an installation hole, an inspection window, a water pressure regulator, a fitting designed for a gas hose, a chimney pipe, a draft sensor equipped with a protective manifold, a combustion chamber, a piezo ignition and a water unit.
If we consider the operation of a gas column, for example, with piezo ignition, then it is quite simple and elementary in control. In order to start using such a column, you must first set the water temperature controller to the "On" position and only then press the button. It is held by the thermostat until the column turns on. Also, with it, the required water temperature is selected.
If we consider the peculiarity of the gas column with automatic ignition, then in this case it is even easier to use. If you purchased just such a Bosch geyser, how to light it? This is very easy to remember. To do this, open the faucet with hot water, which is placed on the mixer. After that, the unit will turn on by itself.
Manual
If you use the unit correctly and know how to light a Bosch geyser, the equipment will seem very simple to operate. Before starting work, open the water and gas taps. There are several ways to light a column:
- Manually. This method is mainly used only in old models. To do this, you need to open the water supply and the main valve for fuel flow, then light the wick with the help of matches and turn on the valve for supplying gas. The disadvantage of such units is that it will be necessary to turn off the valve manually too.
- Using piezo ignition. Such Bosch gas instantaneous water heaters are classified as semi-automatic. First you need to light the main burner by turning on the main regulator in the fuel supply. To ignite the wick, you will need to press the button.
- Automatically. These Bosch gas instantaneous water heaters are considered advanced. Everyone can use them without exception, since their launch is simplified as much as possible. The only drawback of such columns is that in many houses low-pressure water is supplied, which interferes with the normal operation of the turbine.
Any column must be accompanied by instructions for proper operation. Be sure to familiarize yourself with it.
Possible problems
If you bought a Bosch geyser a long time ago, you know how to light it, but for some reason nothing happens, then in this case you need to look for a solution to the problem in possible breakdowns. What could it be?
If the wick in the Bosch gas column does not burn or it goes out when the tap is opened on the mixer, then it is necessary to examine the gas pressure reducer, provided that it works on liquefied gas.
When the outlet water is not cold or hot enough, then in this case, the problem can be eliminated by setting the temperature controller on the column correctly.
If the Bosch geyser does not turn on, you must first check the condition of the batteries and, if necessary, replace them with new ones. Also, many are faced with the fact that after a certain period of time, a bad pressure of water passes through the column. This is because clogging of the heat exchanger, water unit or mixer occurred. To get rid of the problem, it is necessary to identify pollution and eliminate it.
If it is not possible to identify the malfunction and eliminate it, then in this case it is necessary to contact the Bosch service center, where they will carry out warranty repairs.
Speaker Benefits
Bosch geysers are very popular due to their reliability, performance and functionality. In addition, they have the following advantages:
- high-quality assembly and materials that will last for a long period of time;
- a wide model range, thanks to which everyone will find exactly the column that suits him;
- silent operation;
It should be noted that only modern technologies are used in the production.
Shortcomings
Despite the huge number of advantages and worldwide recognition, Bosch geysers have certain disadvantages, which are as follows:
- the high cost of devices and their spare parts;
- in the missing number of service centers.
In order to make the right decision and decide whether one or another gas column is needed, you must first familiarize yourself with the reviews about it left by real people and analyze all the advantages and disadvantages.
How to choose a unit?
If you need to choose a geyser, then the paramount priority is to give preference to the most comfortable and meets all safety standards.
In order to make the right choice, you need to pay attention to such indicators:
- productivity;
- water pressure for which the column is designed;
- nature of ignition and heat exchanger;
- availability of safety devices and power modulation.
All these points will be told by the specialist during the acquisition of the column. It is also worth to familiarize yourself with what dimensions the Bosch geyser has, how to light it.
