Description and principle of operation of EWH

The external housing of the EWH, depending on the model, is made of various high-quality materials - impact-resistant plastic, low-carbon or special polished stainless steel. The internal tank is made of high quality stainless steel containing titanium, which ensures high corrosion resistance and, as a result, long term operation.
The space between the outer casing and the inner tank is filled with polyurethane foam - modern, environmentally friendly thermal insulation, which has best characteristics heat saving. Models RZL-VP, RZL-VS, RSD have two threaded pipes: for cold water inlet (with a blue ring) and hot water outlet (with a red ring), and models RZL-HP, RZL-HS, RZB, RZB-D, RZB-F, RZB-L equipped with an additional drainage pipe (with a red ring, closed with a metal plug) for draining water and washing the internal tank.

On front side The EVN contains a thermometer (model RZL-HS, RZL-VS, 30l -150l). The location of the control panel depends on the model and type of EWH: RZL-VS, RSD - bottom, RZL-HS - right, RZB, RZB-D, RZB-F, RZB-L, RZL-HP, RZL-VP and ROUND PLUS series models - on the front side.

A tubular electric heater (TEH) and thermostat and thermal switch sensors are mounted on a removable flange. The heating element serves to heat water and is controlled by a thermostat, which has smooth temperature control up to +75°C. The thermostat automatically maintains the water temperature at the level set by the user. The temperature control knob is located on the mechanical panel
management. Electronically controlled models have a touch control ().
The thermal switch serves to protect the EWH from overheating and disconnects the heating element from the network when the water temperature exceeds +95°C ().

Model RZB10 equipped with an autonomous unregulated thermostat located under the top cover of the device. Available in RZB10 and RSD models A pilot lamp is installed to induce the heating mode of the heater. The thermal switch in models RZB10 and RSD is located under the top cover.
The operating mode indicator for EWH models 30L - 150L is the backlight lamps for the power selection keys: they light up when the water is heated and go out when the water heating temperature set on the thermostat is reached. In models with electronic control, the indication is carried out by the control lamp L1 () - it lights up when the set temperature is reached.

An RCD is mounted on the electrical cord of the device, which ensures that the EWH is disconnected from the power supply network in the event of a leak or breakdown of the supply voltage to the grounded elements of the device.
Silver models in their design contain an electronic device with a silver anode, which ensures disinfection of heated water. This series of water heaters is a “new generation” product that takes care of your health.
The safety valve performs the functions check valve, preventing water from the water heater from entering the water supply network in cases of pressure drop in the latter and in cases of increasing pressure in the tank when the water is very heated, as well as the function of a safety valve, relieving excess pressure in the tank when the water is very heated. When the water heater is operating, water may leak from the safety valve outlet pipe to relieve excess pressure for the safety of the water heater. This outlet pipe must remain open to the atmosphere and be installed permanently downward and in a frost-free environment.

It is necessary to ensure that water is drained from the outlet pipe of the safety valve into the sewer system by providing appropriate drainage when installing the EWH.

It is necessary to drain regularly (at least once a month) large quantity water through the outlet pipe of the safety valve into the sewer system to remove limescale deposits and to check the functionality of the valve. To open the valve, it is equipped with a handle. It is necessary to ensure that during operation of the water heater this handle is in the position that closes the drain of water from the tank.

Safety instructions for working with the Termex water heater

Large-sized equipment and compact devices for heating water are actively involved in creating comfortable conditions. Few city dwellers know how to use a water heater, because... their apartments are connected to a centralized hot water supply. However, if you have to live in a Khrushchev building or in a dacha, information about the operation of complex units will be extremely useful, don’t you agree?

With us you will receive informed answers to all questions that arise when using the devices. In the article we have proposed, the topic of water heaters is discussed in detail, their types and design features are indicated.

The specifics of installation and rules for proper operation are described in detail. Designated technological subtleties and nuances of care. To make it easier to understand, the information is supplemented with photos, diagrams and video tutorials.

Flow-through models heat the water coming from the water pipe immediately after opening the tap. Visually, such models are significantly smaller in size and are mounted next to the crane.

A type of instantaneous water heaters is a special tap. It does not require a lot of electricity and can be a real godsend for the garden

Depending on the fuel consumed, storage and flow devices most often include:

The first ones have a higher initial cost, but pay for themselves after 2 years. The latter are initially 2-3 times cheaper, but due to the high cost of electricity, already in the third year of use they are more expensive for their owner.

This dependence is valid with constant use.

Flow-through heater models can be equipped with a kitchen spout and shower head. They are mounted next to the faucet to avoid large heat losses

If we're talking about about seasonal stay at the dacha and the use of small volumes warm water, then the electric option will come in handy for a potential buyer.

After all, electricity is supplied to many summer cottages, but as for gas, the situation with its availability may be worse. And if you rarely use the device, it will consume very little electricity.

Regardless of the type of water heating device purchased, you must handle it carefully and use it for its intended purpose. Moreover, the operating features of all similar models are similar, but there are also fundamental differences.

To avoid harming an expensive device through ignorance, it is better to read the instructions on how to properly use a specific water heater model.

Subtleties of operating flow-through units

Differences in appearance and the design of flow-through and storage models cause some nuances during operation.

Therefore, before starting to use the unit, it is important to carefully study the recommendations specified by the manufacturer.

A flow-through tap water heater can be used not only in the country, but also in a city apartment. It is easy to install and connect yourself

The most common requirements that must be met before operating storage and flow-through models are as follows:

• installation of a coarse filter;
• strictly horizontal installation;
• grounding for electrical appliances.

The horizontal position is checked by the building level. Strict adherence to this rule will help prevent the formation of air locks.

It is also important to consider that there are models that can only be installed horizontally or only vertically. If you neglect this rule, the equipment will, at best, not work, and at worst, it will simply burn out.

Small models of vertical flow electric heaters can easily fit into the kitchen design. And a 10-liter device won’t take up much space.

There are also models that provide a user-selectable mounting option - horizontal or vertical. The design features of the device are designed for any position and this will not affect further operation.

Instantaneous water heaters are produced by many domestic companies. Also on the market you can find a large number of offers from European and Chinese companies.

Storage water heaters come in both horizontal and vertical types. Moreover, this rule applies not only to small-volume boilers

Many manufacturers offer storage models that require gas or electricity to operate.

The first option, when constantly used by a family of 5 people for 4-5 years, will cost 3-4 times less than the electric option in terms of the total cost of purchasing, connecting and paying for gas. Although, the cost of the unit itself in stores is about 2.5-3 times cheaper than a gas appliance.

You can only operate a boiler that is correctly installed and connected to the power supply network. The specialist who carried out all the work is obliged to put a note about this in the warranty card and test the quality of installation of the equipment.

Without his signature and seal of the organization, in the event of a breakdown, the guarantee cannot be used.

If everything is installed by a responsible technician, then the owner can begin to operate the water heater. First, you need to inspect the equipment from all sides and make sure that everything is intact, there is no visible damage, the wire and plug have not melted anywhere and nothing is leaking.

If the visual inspection was successful, you need to fill the boiler or make sure that it is full. To do this, open the water supply valve to the unit and unscrew the hot water tap. As soon as water starts flowing from the tap, the storage heater is full.

Now you can plug the device into the socket and press the “on”/“on” button on the case. Control and adjustment are carried out using the corresponding buttons.

Depending on the equipment model, control and adjustment of the desired temperature can be carried out mechanically or by entering appropriate commands on the monitor.

The technical perfection of the device directly affects its cost. In everyday life, models with the most necessary functions and simple controls are most often purchased. The simpler it is, the fewer breakdowns in the future.

You may find the information about self-help, discussed in our other article, useful.

In practice, electronically controlled water heaters do not tolerate installation in a bathroom. It is advisable to avoid installation in a room with increased level humidity

When operating, it is important to follow all the rules described by the manufacturer in the instructions for a specific device. Also, never turn on a broken heater.

If the external condition causes concern or traces of melting are visible on the wiring or plug and socket, you should definitely contact a specialist.

If storage unit is the main source of hot water in the house/apartment, then, in order to save money, you should not unplug it from the outlet.

Thanks to the installed thermostat, the device will turn on to heat water only when necessary. As soon as the water reaches desired temperature, there will be an automatic shutdown.

This work allows you to use electricity or gas as economically as possible if it is a gas water heater. It is advisable to turn off the equipment only in case of a long absence of the owner and all residents of the house, cottage or apartment.

Placement and installation of the water heater

It is important that the location of the water heater is on close range away from where hot water is used, this will help reduce heat loss as it passes through the pipes.

The water heater is attached to a special housing bracket using pre-hammered anchors.

In the room where it is planned to install a Termex water heating device, there must be waterproofing of the floor and an outlet to the sewer. It is not allowed to be placed under an active device electrical devices and objects that are “afraid of water.” If such conditions cannot be met, it is necessary to at least install a special protective pan with access to the sewer.
Termex kits with tank capacities of 15, 30, 50 and 80 liters do not have a protective tray.

Electrical connection

Before connecting the water heater to the electrical network, it must be completely filled with water.

The device comes with a standard cord and plug for connecting to the mains. The outlet must be modern (with a grounding terminal) and located in an area protected from humidity. In this case, you need to take into account the maximum permissible power for the socket and cord, which must be more than two thousand watts, otherwise the wire or socket may overheat and a fire hazard may arise.

Maintenance and operation instructions, tank capacity 15, 30, 50 and 80 liters

The device is controlled via the control panel, which is located on the front side. Such control can be either mechanical or touch, depending on the selected model.

In Termex models with a tank capacity of 15, 30, 50 and 80 liters and with mechanical control, control is carried out using buttons (1 or 2), which indicate the power of the water heater, where “1” means a power of 1.3 kW of energy, and the total power is 2 kW. The power level is selected based on the situation and need, as well as depending on the time of year.

A water heater with touch control and a digital screen is considered more functional and modern. Switching on and off the power of the device is carried out using the “ON/OFF” keys on the equipment screen. The screen also displays information about the current temperature level. The power can be adjusted using the button located in the middle - “Power selector”.

When using a Termex water heater, the temperature is adjusted:

To set the required temperature, you need to press the “Temp” key a couple of times. Selector" on the front side of the device. In all Thermex electric water heaters, the default temperature value is set at 75 degrees from the factory, which is also restored in the event of an unexpected power outage.

If during operation of the water heater the automatic shutdown system operates, then after the time has elapsed, you must turn on the device using the corresponding key. If the device turns off again after turning it on, then you cannot do without involving a specialist in this matter. Under no circumstances try to open or repair the device yourself, as it can only be repaired with special tools and professional skills.

If in the cold season the water heater long time is not used, it is recommended to turn it off and drain the water from the internal tank of the device in order to avoid freezing and damage to the water heater.

Maintenance

Maintenance involves the identification and subsequent removal of scale that forms on heating elements. Also, sediment may form in the lower part of the internal tank of the device, which must also be removed. Descaling is carried out using special cleaning agents. The intensity of maintenance is determined by special workers after analyzing the accumulated scale. It is recommended to carry out the first maintenance of the device after a year of use. Failure to carry out cleaning work will lead to a decrease in operating efficiency and a decrease in the level of efficiency.

In most cases, the cause of failure of water heaters is precisely the scale formed on the heating element. If the heating element or heating device fails, and the reason for this is the formation of scale, in this case repairs are not provided under warranty. Periodic maintenance must be carried out by the user himself.

To carry out proper maintenance of the device you must:
1. Turn off the device
2. Wait until the hot water cools down, or drain it through the tap
3. Shut off the cold water supply
4. Unscrew the drain valve
5. You need to put a regular hose on the valve and direct it to the sewer
6. It is also necessary to drain the hot water through the mixer
7. Now you can remove the device body, disconnect the wires, unscrew and pull out the support flange from the water heater
8. Check for scale on the heating element and at the bottom of the tank, if any - carry out appropriate cleaning.
9. Reassemble the device in reverse order.

This article discussed specifications and instructions for using a Termex electric water heater with a capacity of 30 liters. Note that the manufacturer has established a minimum service life of a Termex water heater of seven years.

Such devices have shutdown protection, which ensures electrical safety during operation. This equipment can be used to provide hot water to industrial and domestic facilities that have a cold water supply. The system must maintain a pressure level of 0.05 to 0.6 MPa. The device must be used in heated indoor areas. The device cannot be operated in continuous flow mode.

User manual

If you decide to choose a Thermex water heater (80 liters), the instructions for use of which will tell you how to extend the life of the device, you should know that models are offered for sale with mechanical and electronic controls. In the first case, on the external panel there are keys responsible for selecting power. By using both, you will provide a power equal to 2 kilowatts. This will allow you to meet your needs based on the amount of hot water you need to receive.

When using a heater, you can adjust the temperature using the toggle switch located on the control panel. By turning it counterclockwise until it stops, you disconnect the water heater from the network. If you turn the regulator clockwise, you can increase the coolant temperature to 75 degrees.

Using an electronically controlled model

The Thermex water heater (80 liters), instructions for use of which are included with the device, can be electronically controlled. In this case, turning it on or off can be done with the left button, which is located on the panel. The heating temperature will appear on the display, and after 2.5 seconds you will be able to see the current temperature of the water in the heater. If you need to change the water heating temperature when there is an electronically controlled model, you can use one of the three touch keys.

Different operating modes

The Thermex water heater (80 liters), the instructions for use of which will allow you to install it yourself, can operate in one of several modes. When first turned on or after a power outage, the temperature is set to 75 degrees. If we are talking about models with an electronic panel or a digital sensor, then after a power outage the equipment goes into “Demo” mode, which involves a demonstration mode. The heating elements will not be turned on.

Thermex electric storage water heaters can be taken out of demo mode by simultaneously pressing and holding the keys for 5 seconds, which are located on the control panel and indicate up and down movement. The device can go into it, accompanied by the company logo flashing, and the indicator indicates the water temperature level in the heater.

during operation

Operation of the Thermex water heater may be accompanied by activation. In order to return the equipment to operating condition, you must press the button of the same name. If the protection works again, you need to contact service specialists, since only they will be able to eliminate the cause of the breakdown. If you do not plan to operate the water heater in winter, then there is a high probability that not only the device, but also the water lines will freeze. In order to eliminate this nuisance, you need to turn off the power and drain the water, this is the only way you can avoid damage to the internal tank.

Connection to the water supply system

The Thermex water heater, the connection of which is best left to specialists (only in this case will the equipment warranty apply), must be installed in several stages. Initially, a safety valve is installed at the cold water inlet. In this case, it is important to ensure the tightness of the connection and use an insulating material such as FUM tape. The manufacturer prohibits using a water heater of this brand without a safety valve or operating it in tandem with valves from other companies.

During the use of the described water heater, drops may appear that leak from the drain beak of the valve. This may be due to excessive heating pressure. Users are advised to attach a silicone or rubber tube to the drainage beak to ensure moisture drainage. The diagram of the Thermex water heater is presented in the article; it should help you if you need to connect the equipment to the water supply system. The technician must remember that the cold water supply pipe must be located below the hot water intake pipe. In this process you need to use metal-plastic, copper or plastic pipes. A flexible plumbing line will help with these manipulations.

As soon as the electric Thermex is connected, the cold water supply valve can be opened, this also applies to the hot water tap on the mixer. This way you can ensure air flow out of the device. When cold water flows out in a continuous stream, this will indicate that filling the water heater has already been completed. If the device is installed in a place where there is no water supply, cold water can be supplied from an auxiliary container. However, it must be placed at a height of 5 meters from the top point of the device. If this is not possible, then it is additionally permissible to use a pumping station.

Note

Today, electric storage water heaters are very popular. Thermex reviews are positive. These devices can also be operated according to an easier principle. To do this, it is recommended to install a drain valve. This applies to those models that do not have a drain pipe included. If it is necessary to install a water heater in a system where the pressure is greater than the above, it is necessary to place a reducer at the inlet in front of the equipment, which will have to be purchased additionally. With its help, you can reduce the water pressure to the nominal level.

It is important to remember that due to poor water quality, scale may form on the surface of the heating element, which will certainly cause damage to the elements. This case is not covered by warranty. In order to carry out maintenance, you will need to perform a number of actions. Among them, it is necessary to highlight connecting the water heater from the electrical network, shutting off the flow of cold water, and also removing the safety valve.
