Types of Termex water heaters

Boilers are quite popular among other water heating equipment. The number of positive reviews about the excellent quality and versatility of these devices is simply off the charts, which confirms the huge demand among consumers. Termex water heaters are durable, reliable and easy to install and use. Thanks to their wide variety, it is possible to choose the appropriate unit model.

Today Termex produces 4 types of electric water heaters:

• instantaneous water heaters;
• storage heating tanks;
• indirect heating boilers;
• flow-storage heaters.

Features of storage tanks

Since storage water heaters are popular on the market, the company produces as many as eleven model lines of various boilers. This makes it possible to satisfy any wishes, as well as select a boiler both in price and functionality that suits the buyer.

A relatively simple and inexpensive Termex heating tank can be selected from the following model ranges:

• Champion;
• Champion slim.

The first includes 13 cylindrical devices with tank capacities from 10 to 300 liters. The second model range consists of 7 cylindrical units of 30-80 liters. Such water heaters are equipped with a steel tank with an internal coating of glass porcelain enamel. These boilers are simple, as they are equipped with a minimum of automatic devices.

The THERMEX SPRINT heating tank range is equipped with enameled rectangular steel tanks that hold from 30 to 100 liters. In addition, these devices have a turbo heating mode. The remaining 8 types of storage water heaters are equipped with stainless steel tanks. It should also be noted that among the different types of storage boilers, you can choose a device according to a variety of criteria:

• by installation method: vertical or horizontal;
• by functionality: multifunctional or simple.

That is, even the most capricious buyer will be able to choose a suitable electric heating tank.

Types of devices

Thermex water heaters are divided into::

• vertical;
• horizontal.

Depending on the shape of the body, Thermex storage boilers can be:

• flat;
• round;
• wide;
• narrow.

The company produces two types of tanks:

• made of steel coated with bioglass porcelain;
• made of stainless steel.

Instantaneous and instantaneous storage water heaters

Termex instantaneous water heaters are divided into 2 model ranges:

• STREAM;
• SYSTEM.

An example of a diagram of THERMEX STREAM instantaneous water heaters.
The first included 6 models with a power from 3500 to 7000 W, the second also included 6 devices with 6000–10000 W of power. All flow-through electric heaters of the Termex brand are available in rectangular and suspended versions.

The COMBI line includes 6 indirectly heated electric boilers with a built-in tubular electric heater (TEH). As a rule, these units are floor-standing and cylindrical in shape. The capacity of this model range is in the range of 80–300 liters. The power of the heating element is 1500–3500 W.

Flow-through storage water heaters are produced in a teardrop shape and only for wall mounting. The maximum power is 2500 W. The tank capacity of units of this type is from 10 to 30 liters.

A few words about recycling

All boilers have a symbol indicating that the materials used in the manufacture of the equipment provide for their environmental disposal in accordance with the standards of a particular state. For combined and storage devices, the warranty period is one year, as stated in the instructions. As for flow-type equipment, everything is the same, the difference is only in small details. Maintenance here is significantly simplified, since there will be no need to change the magnesium anode (this element is not included in the design at all).

But if you use the Thermex water heater according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the device will serve you faithfully for many years.

Advantages of Termex boilers

Termex storage water heaters have the following advantages over products from other manufacturers:

• The inner surface of the container is covered with an anti-corrosion coating. For this purpose, bioglass porcelain was used.
• The boilers are equipped with special anti-scale anodes.
• The number of installed anodes is equal to the number of heating devices built into the unit.
• A large assortment of water heating units with various modifications, configurations, functionality and characteristics.
• The internal tank is thermally insulated with high-density polyurethane foam.
• The water heater tank retains heat better, which significantly saves energy.

The water heating tank is easy to install. Ease of installation is the main advantage that distinguishes the boiler. The instruction manual, which comes with the package, contains a detailed description of the step-by-step actions during installation, and a clear diagram of connecting the tank to the water supply.

Operating rules

A person who understands electrical equipment can disassemble a boiler at home.
In order for the Thermex boiler to work for the stated period, it must be used correctly. Instructions are included in the kit. All additional parts and shut-off valves must comply with the pipeline and have certificates confirming the quality standard.

According to the instructions, it is prohibited to do the following:

• Connect the tank until it is filled with water.
• Connect the device without grounding and into a faulty network.
• Use water heated in the boiler for cooking. It does not pass through purification filters, so it can be harmful to health.
• Drain the water from the tank when connected to the network.
• Connect the device without a safety valve.
• Remove the protection cover when the heater is plugged in.
• Use in a pipeline with a pressure of more than 6 atmospheres.
• Replacing the heating element on a Thermex water heater is carried out only by a specialist.

Connecting the device and repairing it should be carried out by professionals who are authorized to work with electrical equipment.

Qualities of instantaneous water heaters

Advantages of instantaneous water heaters.

The heating tanks are equipped with a durable, wear-resistant copper heat exchanger. Due to the physical and chemical characteristics of copper, the service life of heat exchangers is virtually unlimited.

There is a multi-stage heating element protection system that prevents the device from turning on without water, when the system overheats or the water pressure is low.

The heat exchanger is protected by a thermally resistant plastic casing.

Thermex boilers are equipped with high-quality automation.

How to determine the required displacement?

Before choosing an electric boiler, you should determine how much water it should heat. For example, a family of three. All family members need to wash, take a shower, and wash the dishes. The average water temperature in the tank during such procedures is 60°C.

The estimated volume of water for one family member to take a shower is 20 liters, therefore the whole family will need 60 liters of water. And in order to wash dishes you need approximately 12 liters of water. As a result of simple calculations, it turns out that the tank should hold at least 72 liters. In this case, you need to purchase a boiler with an 80-liter tank.

According to the examples discussed above, water heating boilers can be selected for other cases. The Termex company produces electric water heaters with containers of various capacities.

When selecting a boiler, you need to take into account the number of people consuming hot water

If the volume of the tank is not enough, this will entail additional costs for electricity. Because every time hot water is consumed, the tank will be filled with cold water and reheat it to the desired temperature.

Instructions for installing and connecting the device

The installation and connection of the water heater must be carried out only by a qualified specialist, otherwise it may malfunction and cause physical and property damage to health.

Placement and installation of the water heater

It is important that the location of the water heater is close to the place where hot water is used, this will help reduce heat loss when passing 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 place electrical appliances and objects that are “afraid of water” under the operating device. 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.

Review of THERMEX IF-30 V

The Thermex IF 30-V water heating tank has an attractive appearance that will fit perfectly into any interior. Due to the small capacity of only 30 liters and the heating element’s power of 1.3 kW, the water in the unit heats up in less than an hour. This amount of water will be enough for one person. Although the next portion of hot water will be ready in half an hour.

The material from which the inner tank is made is stainless steel. Type of tubular electric heater – open, wet. The IF 30-V boiler is equipped with electronic control, which simplifies the operation of the device as much as possible.

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 cause is scale formation, then repairs are not covered 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 must 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 remove the support flange 8 from the water heater. 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 the technical characteristics 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. But this is only provided that the water in the system meets the necessary standards and does not contain a large amount of impurities and heavy elements, and that the installation, operation and timely maintenance rules are followed when using the device.

Inclusion

The sequence of actions to turn on the Thermex boiler:

• It is necessary to shut off the hot water supply to the riser. This is one of the essential rules on how to properly use a heating device. If you have a check valve, you still need to shut it off, since its breakdown, which you may not immediately find out about, will result in you providing hot liquid to all neighbors in the riser.
• Fill the tank with water; to do this, open all the valves on the boiler (cold inlet and hot outlet at the boiler). Open any faucet in the apartment so that the air comes out of the tank; this moment will come when liquid flows from the tap.
• Then connect to the mains. After 15-20 minutes, check if the liquid is heating up.

• When you turn it on for the first time, you must set the water heating temperature in the range of 70-75 degrees.
