Review of the best Atlantic water heaters of 2022

The water heater is an invention of civilization that allows you to enjoy hot water anywhere and anytime. People spoiled by comfort can no longer imagine their lives without this good. In the country or in a country house, such a unit is an integral element of everyday life. A variety of models of water heating devices at the same time complicates and facilitates the choice. On the one hand, you can choose a unit that meets the requirements as much as possible, however, the mass of technical parameters does not allow an uninitiated person to navigate in a sea of ​​specific difficulties.

Types of water heaters

Water heaters are divided into the following types:

• flow gas;
• flow electric;
• storage electric;
• storage gas;
• indirect type water heaters - boilers.

flowing

The column produces water heating directly when its supply is turned on. This is possible due to the heating element located inside the device, which, in contact with the liquid, instantly increases its temperature.

Gas instantaneous water heater

The gas burner works on the principle of heating a heat exchanger for heating water. This type is considered the most economical for hot water supply. The unit itself is significantly more expensive than its electrical counterpart and requires impressive investments in the installation, purchase and installation of a chimney. The reward for all the work will be cheap operation, subject to connection to the main gas supply or gas tank.

Electric instantaneous water heater

The heat-heating element works on the principle of an electric boiler, with an increase in the temperature of the liquid in which it is immersed. The advantage of this type of electric carrier is the availability of fuel. Access to electricity is available everywhere today.

The electric heater is easy to install and does not require sophisticated technologies for connection.

storage water heater

The boiler is equipped not only with a heating element, but also with a tank for heating and accumulating hot water. The tanks use the "thermos" system to maintain the resulting temperature of the liquid. Depending on the type of fuel: gas or electricity, boilers, respectively, are divided into gas storage and electric storage water heaters.

Criteria for selecting an electric heater

After giving preference to a flow or storage device for heating water, it is necessary to calculate a number of additional parameters. What should you pay attention to.

Weight and size

The size of the room acts as a limiter to the volume of the tank. The weight of the unit is dictated by the material of the wall chosen for fixing. Frame buildings, old buildings, thin floors, plasterboard walls do not allow the installation of large and heavy water heaters. The DHW flow device is lightweight - from 2 kilograms and occupies a small volume of the room. The storage boiler, with a volume of 90 liters, can exceed a weight of 120 kg.

Number of consumers

If there are several points of hot water consumption: a kitchen sink, a shower, a bathroom, a storage water heater is recommended. The correct choice of the tank volume will provide all connected consumption nodes with the necessary amount of hot water of the required temperature.

Power and pressure

A flowing electric heater, with a power consumption of 5-8 kW, can heat from 2 to 3.5 liters of water per minute. A high power electric unit can produce 13 liters of heated water per minute, but it will require 25-28 kW.Such a load is beyond the power of the power grid in a private house or apartment building.

A gas type water heater eliminates the problem of water pressure at the desired temperature. However, when the pressure in the network decreases, such a model simply turns off.

Fuel supply

Power supply and pressure in the gas supply does not affect the operation of boiler models.

The flow system is very whimsical to the fuel supply constant, up to the impossibility of operation.

Value for money

Serious investments will be required with the following requirements for a storage appliance:

• several connection points to the boiler;
• for country houses and cottages;
• low initial water pressure;
• initial low gas pressure;
• power failures, low network power.

Popular flow models in infrequent use do not require large material investments, they are ideal for small apartments, subject to a small number of points of operation.

Mounting option

floor type

Installing a water heater on the floor is unambiguous for boilers with a capacity of more than 110 liters.

wall type

Placing equipment on the wall is, first of all, flow models. Water heaters with tanks of small volumes and a modest volume of the room also dictate a similar mounting option.

Top Water Heater Manufacturers in 2022

The leaders in sales of DHW equipment are:

• Ariston;
• Electrolux;
• Bosch Thermotechnik;
• Group Atlantic;
• Thermex;
• Stiebel Eltron;
• AEG;
• Gorenje;
• Vaillant.

Groupe Atlantic

Groupe Atlantic, as a manufacturer of electric water heaters, began its history in 1968, in France. In 2022, the company is recognized as one of the best in the production and design of equipment for hot water supply.Innovative approach, experience and professionalism in the field of progressive technologies allows Atlantic to steadily advance to the leading positions in the world market.

The latest models of boilers are equipped with the function of protection against legionella - microorganisms from a number of pathogenic bacteria.

The latest development is a noiseless electric heater with a pump made using universal energy saving technologies.

Modern models have remote control from a smartphone and a number of specialized functions.

Smart Control is the latest technology that provides energy savings during standard operation, without reducing the temperature of the consumed water and volumes.

For tanks, Atlantic uses DIAMOND-QUALITY ENAMEL protection, which is a guarantee against rust and scale. Steatite technology - anti-corrosion technology with dry-type steatite heating element, which increases the service life. The enameled steel bulb, which protects the steatite heating element, increases the heat exchange area and absorbs the noise of the heating process. The absence of direct contact with the liquid levels the layer of deposits. The system eliminates the influence of external factors, such as ambient temperature, on the duration of the warm-up procedure.
