Accumulative water heaters are a fairly popular type of household appliances. At present, interruptions in the supply of hot water are often observed. That is why it is very good to have a device that allows you to completely depend on central water supply. The only drawback of storage boilers is the obligatory presence of pressure in the pipe with cold water. Otherwise, in its absence, it is not possible to use hot, passing through the heating tank.
There are various options in stores. They differ in design, technical characteristics, control method and, of course, volume. For example, the most popular appliances are 100 liters. This capacity is more than enough for a family of five, provided that everyone will take only a shower. If you want to soak in the bathroom, then the next person will need to wait about 3 hours.
So, choosing a tank volume, many buyers can not decide on the manufacturer. It is worth noting that there are currently a lot of them. If there are some restrictions on cash, but you want to purchase high-quality equipment, it is recommended to pay attention to the Ariston brand. You can buy devices of both Russian and Italian assemblies. In 2015, it was the Ariston electric storage water heater (100) that became the sales leader.
