At present, it is difficult to imagine life without modern household appliances. They are designed with one single purpose: to greatly facilitate everyday work. However, there are also such devices that make our existence as comfortable as possible. Water heaters belong to this type. Just imagine that the supply of hot water does not depend on centralized water supply. There will be no maintenance work or planned outages. You can swim at any time of the day, while completely forgetting about pots and basins. Isn't that heavenly enjoyment?
Many are familiar with a brand like Bosch. Accumulative water heaters, reviews of which can be read below, due to the frequent shutdowns of hot water, have become quite popular. According to statistics, they are available in every second family. Democratic pricing policy has made this type of household appliances available even to the most vulnerable sections of the population. Moreover, it is not necessary to choose unknown manufacturers, since both the budget models and the premium class are presented in the lines of world brands. For example, prices for Bosch water heaters start at around 5,000 rubles. Low cost does not indicate poor quality. It varies depending on the equipment. German technology has long earned an excellent reputation. And the fact that today the devices are assembled in Bulgaria did not affect their quality. Technology and assembly principle remained the same.
Let's take a closer look at Bosch brand water heaters.
German quality
The Bosch brand appeared back in the 19th century. At the very beginning of the activity, production was located only in Germany. Gradually, it expanded and went beyond the state. Currently, this brand is recognized as the world leader in sales of household appliances. Such popularity has a strong foundation - German quality, which not all manufacturers can compare with.
Bosch water heaters are, first of all, reliable equipment. Also, importantly, powerful, economical and environmentally friendly. All devices are equipped with convenient controls, which greatly facilitates the use. It is important to note: the manufacturer Bosch uses only modern technologies and high-quality materials, thanks to which the operating life of water heaters is significantly increased.
Varieties
These devices differ in the type of power. Both gas and electric Bosch water heaters are currently sold. The latter are more popular, since they are as safe as possible. Also, boilers are open (flowing) and closed (storage) types.
- Non -pressure instantaneous water heaters supply hot water to only one point. They work even at low pressure in the system.
- Pressure (storage) boilers supply hot water to several points at once, for example, to the kitchen and bathroom. In order for hot water to exit, pressure in the central water supply is necessary.
In modern electric boilers, a heating element is installed - TEN. It can be wet or dry. The latter is placed in a special flask, which completely eliminates the interaction with water.
It is also worth paying attention to the fact that in the model range of Bosch TM there are devices of different sizes, shapes, designs and capacities.
Models
Bosch water heaters are manufactured with a minimum volume of 10 liters. Most often, such appliances are installed in the kitchen under the sink. The tank is made of glass ceramics. Type of control - mechanical (regulators). A striking example is the Tronic 2000 B mini.
At low hot water costs, the Bosch Tronic 1000T / ES 030-5 N 0 WIB-B is ideal. Tank capacity - 30 l. TENA power - 2 kW, type - wet. It will take about 1.5 hours to heat the water to 75 º. Storage tank coating - glass ceramic. The casing is made of durable sheet steel. Dimensions - 52 × 35 × 37 cm. Weight - almost 12 kg.
The Tronic 4000T / ES 060-5 M 0 WIB-B and Tronic 4000T / ES 075-5 M 0 WIB-B models have similar characteristics. They differ only in the volume of tanks: in the first - 65 liters, in the second - 75 liters. They are equipped with heating elements generating 2 kW. There is a safety valve, a temperature control system, a magnesium anode, a glass-ceramic coating of the tank. No electronics, mechanical control.
Common breakdowns
There are three common problems that can lead to tank inoperability. This is a scale formation, a thermostat breakdown and a heater failure. You should immediately pay attention that they are not critical. In such situations, you can independently repair Bosch water heaters .
- Replacing the heater. If the heating element is dry, then troubleshooting will not require global action. Replacement can be carried out without draining the water. In the case of a "wet" heating element, all the liquid necessarily descends.
- Cleaning. Disconnect the device from the power supply. Drain the water. Treat the inner surface of the tank with a special solution. Rinse well.
- Troubleshooting thermostat. Remove the device. Check operation at maximum temperature. If the tester does not show anything, then it is necessary to replace the thermostat with a new one. When triggered in the Min position, it is recommended to heat the device with an external element (for example, a lighter). This will help verify its performance.

Some buyers drew attention to the cable length (very short), problems with fasteners, in certain models the location of the temperature adjustment is inconvenient. Otherwise, Bosch boilers are highly praised for their fast water heating, good thermal insulation, long life, quiet operation and economy.
