How to choose the right water heater

When choosing, you should pay attention to the power of the boiler. To calculate the performance of the heater, you can use the formula: P \u003d Q x (t1 - t2) x 0.073:

• P - heater power in watts;
• Q - hot water flow in liters per minute;
• T1 - the desired temperature at the outlet of the boiler;
• T2 is the temperature of the water entering the heater from the water pipe;
• 0.073 is a constant correction factor.

Next, you need to understand which control to choose. For example, the mechanics are simpler, while the electronic, intelligent control allows you to select different modes of operation and control of the water heater's functions.

Many state-of-the-art water heaters can be synchronized with smart gadgets , and then the control is even more simplified. If a gas heater is purchased for a country house or cottage, then special attention should be paid to the quality of the water tank materials, and such models will have a much higher price. In addition to wall-mounted water heaters, there are many options for models for floor installation and for some this will be a more attractive solution.

What tank to buy?

Any manufacturer has different models and series of water heaters with different additional functions and tank volumes.It is best to focus on choosing high quality and durable stainless steel tanks. Although for someone the choice of an inexpensive enameled or glass-porcelain tank will be quite acceptable. The most important selection criteria for most consumers are: boiler capacity, dimensions, purpose and price of the product.
