Leaving the city apartment to go to the country, many people think not only about the future harvest, barbecue, but also about how to "take with them" hot water - it would be so useful in nature! There is a solution: a bulk water heater for a summer residence will solve your problem! In modern equipment stores, you can find many types of devices. It remains to choose the most optimal under your circumstances.
New is well forgotten old
One of the important factors that you need to consider when making a purchase is the presence or absence of communications (water, gas networks) to the house. If there is no water supply on the site yet, and you use well water, spring water or from the nearest collapsible column, then you should choose a bulk water heater.
Typically, this is a tank that is equipped with a thermal electric heating element (TEN). To fill the "cauldron", you will need simple cans or jars. Summer residents are always in abundance of this good, especially since there is not much to do: the working volume of a water heater is from five to twenty liters. Often the design is equipped with a shower (watering can) or sink.
A lot of advantages
Sometimes you can hear that the water-filling heater for a summer residence is the last century. But even more often lately there have been sayings that the application of the “old principles” of life support in the presence of modern models of devices allows you to create a very comfortable environment at the cottage! Indeed, the latest models of devices have a lot of advantages:
- easy to install and operate;
- water becomes hot very quickly (because the capacity is small);
- have an acceptable price;
- strong and serve for a long time (which is very important!);
- have elegant dimensions, low weight;
- not energy-intensive (given the price of light, this is an important plus).
Easy peasy
A bulk water heater for a summer residence is a simple thing, but nevertheless we’ll talk in more detail about the nodes and details (design features). There are three elements: a water tank, a heater and a crane. If you wish, install a faucet, but then you need one more container for cold water (do not forget: we have manual control!).
It is believed that such a system practically does not break, except that sometimes you have to change a burned-out spiral (element). There are models in which blue fuel is used for heating - gas. If you analyze the line of devices, you can see that the bulk electric water heaters for summer cottages are arranged on the same principle. But there are still some differences (in design, functions).
Bulk water heaters for cottage "Alvin", especially EVBO-20, are in great demand. It can be used on a construction site, in a garage, in cozy, small catering points. Not only does the water heat up, it still remains hot, because the device is designed like a thermos. Heating is regulated by a temperature regulator.
Live comfortably
When the set temperature is reached, the structure is switched off. As soon as the "hotness" of the water reaches the bottom mark (set by the master's hand), "Alvin" turns on. Thus, the bulk water heater for summer cottage is not only convenient, but also safe.
Sometimes it seems like a miracle: on the table there is a neat, pretty washbasin (you can hang it on the wall, as you like, there are fasteners) with hot water! Those who have not had such amenities for a long time will especially understand what they are talking about! The tanks of this series are plastic in a metal case, the capacity is 20 liters. TEN with a power of 1.25 kW.
There are water heaters equipped with a sink (Moydodyr series). A container with a spiral element is located directly above the sink. Water is heated by the “click” of automation, but can be adjusted manually. There is a safety system that does not allow switching on when the tank is empty or when overheating occurs. Used water is discharged into the receiver behind the door of the nightstand. There are craftsmen who organize the diversion into the drain pit. Most people can do this.
For the shower, an even simpler design is used - a vessel for 50-100 liters of water, equipped with a shower hose (watering can). The device is installed where there is an electrical outlet. There are protective functions. Those who have already used the amenities, note that the amount of heated water is enough to wash well.
A bulk water heater for summer cottages is a complicated modification, it is intended for such a plumbing device as a shower cabin. In addition to the tank and watering can, there is a stand under the bottom (pan), where water flows, as well as a curtain (curtain or partition), fasteners. It works both on electricity and on gas. If the street is warm and clear, the water can also be heated by the sun. But firewood and the eternal energy of the sun, as well as gas, are used less often for heating than electricity.
Choose carefully
When choosing bulk electric water heaters for a summer residence, try to keep a reference to manufacturers that have long been verified. In Russia, these are most often domestic producers (who is better than them who know the “national characteristics”?). Take an interest in the opinions of people who have touched the topic. Perhaps they will tell you the subtleties that will suit (or alert) you.
Many people like a bulk water heater for a summer residence. Reviews often sound positive. But sometimes there are complaints about structural flaws: for example, the connection of the crane with the tank is not reliable enough, or when rusting parts are used to fasten the heater, which leads to yellowing of the heated water. But do not despair. Given the wealth of choice, everything is decided.
