The Neva Lux 5514 geyser represents one of the best models of the Neva series. If we compare with other options, then 5514 has several advantages. The model is able to work from the supply of natural gas, its rated power is 28 kilowatts, which is enough for the owners of a private house to be able to use several hot water faucets simultaneously and without interruption in pressure.
Description
The aforementioned gas water heater is designed to instantly produce warm water. The unit is made of durable materials that guarantee a long service life. The equipment turns on automatically, for this it will only be necessary to turn on the crane. The small size and very stylish design will allow you to fit the device into the interior of any home, and at the same time you will save free space.
Specifications
The gas column Neva Lux 5514 is installed on the wall during installation and has a vertical arrangement. The maximum temperature of the supplied water can reach 90 degrees. The diameter of the chimney should be equal to 140 millimeters or more, which will provide a fairly intense draft. In one minute, the user can get 14 liters of hot water. Before carrying out installation work, you must consider whether the weight of the heater, which is equivalent to 12.5 kilograms, can withstand the wall.
Neva Lux 5514 is equipped with built-in protection against excessive pressure and overheating, and also has a temperature level regulator. The equipment controls the flow of gas and has a built-in protection system, the last of which provides disconnection of the device from the network in the absence of a certain level of draft in the chimney. Fuel consumption will be approximately 3 cubic meters per hour, this figure is nominal.
Positive reviews
Geyser Neva Lux 5514, according to users, has many advantages. The model has a simple control unit, the case is devoid of a display, and one knob should be used to adjust the temperature. According to users, this can be considered a plus and minus at the same time. A number of foreign manufacturers offer more equipped models for sale at the same cost. But the described option can be called quite simple. Even older people will be able to understand the device and exercise control.
The Neva Lux 5514 column provides quick heating to a comfortable temperature, and also has a security system that can, if necessary, eliminate a malfunction. As the owners of suburban and private houses note, when operating, the gas water heater does not make a lot of noise, while there are no clicks that are observed in other versions of the manufacturer.
Additional advantages
The geyser Neva Lux 5514 has a fairly compact size, you can place it on the wall in the kitchen and in the bathroom. One more plus is adaptation to Russian conditions. Thus, the column will work even at reduced pressure in the system and low water pressure, which is important in the summer. The device is equipped with a control system, which eliminates the failure of the equipment during overheating and high pressure.
Negative reviews
If you liked the Neva Lux 5514 geyser, it is recommended that you study customer reviews before buying, as you can also distinguish negative ones from them. Any electronic equipment, if it is made in China, is quite often short-lived, this applies to some Neva Lux components, for example, to a protective system. According to users, if there is a breakdown of the heating column, then you can wait for the wizard to appear for a rather long time, which indicates poor service. In addition, negative reviews are found about incompetent specialists.
An additional drawback is the fact that there are simply no service centers for repair at the plant. Sometimes this may indicate product reliability or an appropriate attitude towards the buyer. For the reason that any technique can fail, the second assumption suggests itself. Experienced buyers note that the Neva Lux 5514 gas column , the description of which was presented above, has a rather high cost, which can be compared with the prices of products of famous brands. Therefore, before purchasing, it is recommended to ask yourself whether to buy such equipment.
What else you need to know about the characteristics of the model
The described gas water heater is ideally suited for providing country houses or apartments with hot water. On sale, these models are presented in classic white color, so the column can be fit into any room. The fuel used is natural and liquefied gas, the pressure of which can be 1.3-2.9 kPa. The minimum water pressure is 15 kPa. As for the maximum value, it is 1000 kPa. Before making a purchase, you should ask how to summarize the communications (these columns are connected from the bottom).
The diameter of the piping is 20.95 millimeters. The equipment is controlled mechanically, there is gas flow control and auto ignition, as well as a flame adjustment function. The Neva Lux 5514 geyser, reviews of which are mostly positive, is made of metal, which underlies the body. Whereas the burner and heat exchanger are made of steel and copper, respectively.
User opinions on the features of the device
Equipment costs about 10,000 rubles, which sometimes repels buyers. However, you need to pay attention to high-quality coating, which is applied to a durable case. Despite the fact that many people refuse to purchase this unit due to mechanical adjustment of power, in practice it turns out that it turns out to adjust the temperature quite smoothly. A quick and trouble-free electric ignition can be carried out through the wick.
Among the additional advantages, it should be noted that there is no boiling water effect when turned on, which saves water. Despite the fact that the column has automatic heating control, this function will work only if the equipment is set to almost full power. However, you can see how, at impressive pressures, when the power changes, the unit starts to regulate the gas supply automatically. According to users, this function is completely useless, since the heating capacity of the column is designed almost for a boiler room, and not for two water supply taps. That is why it can be argued that the column is powerful enough even for three cranes.
Duration of operation in practice
Unfortunately, the Neva Lux 5514, the instruction for use of which is supplied with the unit, is characterized by a rather short service life. After 4 years, you can face the problem of the failure of some elements. Many users say that after 7 years they will have to change the heat exchanger, as well as the electronic control unit. Gaskets and sensors wear out during this time.
