Review of the best AEG water heaters of 2022

Hot water tanks are great helpers in case of problems with the flow of hot water or even in its absence. Also, water heaters are indispensable in summer cottages. When buying a tank, you have to choose: type, heating and installation method, power, volume, material, water supply method, control, security level, as well as additional functions and settings.

It will be extremely difficult for a person who does not understand water heating devices not to make mistakes when choosing. A review of the best AEG water heaters will help you choose, tell you what you should pay attention to and guide you by price.

Selection criteria: how to choose the right water heater?

1. Which one is better to buy? It is worth considering that not always the best manufacturers, for example, washing machines, create the best and highest quality water heaters. Therefore, before deciding which company is the best device to buy, you need to consult with a professional, read reviews and carefully study the description of the product.
2. How much does a quality tank cost? You should not buy inexpensive devices, because in the end, due to the short service life, you will have to purchase a new tank or spend money on repairs, which will ultimately lead to high costs.
   But even expensive models should be treated with great attention. After all, cost does not always depend on quality. So, for example, popular models may have a high cost, but their popularity will be so high not because of the high quality of the device, but because of well-thought-out advertising. But with the right approach to choice, as described above, there is no reason to be afraid to make a mistake in choosing.
   Therefore, it is better to pay attention to a product with an average price that will ensure quality, and at the same time, the company will not spend money on excessive advertising of its product.

Characteristics

Type of water heater

There are 3 types of water heaters: storage, instantaneous and bulk.

1. Cumulative type is a tank that has a different volume, and is able to maintain a high temperature for a long period.

The storage tank is the best option, according to professionals and buyers. This type of water heater will be an excellent assistant with the following selection criteria:

• have access to hot water at several points of the water supply;
• the ability of the device to work well with low water pressure;
• water heating range from low to high temperature;
• maintain a high temperature for a long time;
• consume the minimum amount of electricity.

2. flowing type is a tube with an electric heater inside through which water passes.

If there is no need to heat water to a high temperature, access to hot water at several points of the water supply, then a flow tank will be the best option.

Flowing water heaters can be:

• pressure, involves connecting directly to the water supply. This is the optimal principle of operation, since water can be supplied to several points of water intake;
• non-pressure, has an indirect connection to the water supply. For this, additional devices are used in the form of devices that are equipped with flow and storage tanks. This principle of operation involves the supply of water to only one point of water intake.

3. Bulk type - This is a container into which you need to pour water manually. Water heating is carried out thanks to the built-in heating element.

Water heating methods

There are 4 heating methods:

• gas - heating comes from gas supply;
• electric - this is a classic way of heating from the network;
• indirect - heating comes from heat taken from another source;
• combined - includes an electric and indirect heating method.

Tank control method

There are electronic and mechanical controls.

Preferring mechanical way, which is carried out by scrolling the adjustment knob, you get simplicity and ease of operation.

Device with electronic control provides a wide range of management functionality.

Installation and connection method

Fastening is made in 3 ways: vertical, horizontal and floor.

1. Vertical installation involves mounting the device in a vertical position. This is the optimal installation method, since the vertical position of the tank does not reduce the temperature of the water.
2. BUT horizontal installation, in turn, due to the large area, mixes cold and hot water, thereby lowering its temperature.
3. floor way suitable for large water heaters, as another installation simply cannot withstand a lot of weight.

The connection can be located on the side, top and bottom - depending on the size, shape and method of installation of the water heater.

Heating element power

The time spent on heating water directly depends on the power of the heating element.

If a standard power of 1.5 or 2 kW is enough for a storage tank, then flow devices require from 3.5 to 30 kW.

It is worth considering that by choosing a storage tank with a capacity of up to 8 kW, you will get 3-4 liters of hot water in 1 minute. This is just enough to take a shower.

Also important is the wiring. For devices with a power of more than 5 kW, a cable, separately led to the shield, with a fuse, is required.

Which heating element is best?

There are 4 types of heating elements:

1. Spiral heater, does not have high strength, but has high efficiency and corrosion resistance.
2. heat exchanger, this type is rarely used, in water heaters with gas and indirect heating.
3. "Wet" heating element, is not protected from corrosion, heats water slowly and is not efficient enough. But in the presence of a magnesium anode and its replacement, it is capable of a long service life.
4. "Dry" heating element, does not have direct contact with water, as it is protected by a special flask.This will reduce the risk of scale or corrosion and will also heat the water quickly. The only disadvantage of dry heating elements is the high price.
