Review of the best Timberk water heaters of 2022

A water heater is a device in a water supply system that is used to constantly heat water. The device successfully replaces the centralized hot water supply during a shutdown in the apartment and copes with the tasks in the local water supply system in a private house. One of the manufacturers of quality devices is Timberk, the best water heaters of which will be discussed below.

Types of water heaters

According to the connection method, gas and electric models are distinguished.

Geysers have been used for a long time, their popularity is declining due to the increased danger of use. In addition, the design of the house must include a chimney in order to use the heater with a gas burner. Electric heaters are called boilers. They are easy to use, safe, durable and quiet.

According to the type of water heating, there are flow and storage boilers.

Flow models heat water instantly, are small in size. The heating element here is a heating element, a spiral without insulation, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Cold water enters through the pipe, passes through the heating element with high power and enters already hot into the faucet. A storage boiler is a large container with a heat source located inside or below the container. Water is heated by a heat exchanger (water or steam). Outside, the container is protected by a layer of insulation and a casing. Through the control panel connected to the heating element, you can adjust the temperature of the water.

According to the principle of installation, there are closed and open storage heaters.

Open non-pressure devices are installed at one point using a special mixer. They make mainly plastic models, their design is less durable, the water pressure is regulated at the inlet to the boiler. Closed pressure devices can serve several water points in the central system at once. The devices contain an expansion tank, a pressure gauge, a pressure reducer, a metal heating element.
