Ariston is one of the three leaders in terms of sales of household appliances. Ariston boilers are of high quality, mostly positive reviews, a variety of models. In Russia and around the world they are popular. The key to high demand: excellent characteristics, quality materials and a long service life.
General information
Ariston heaters are devices of stylish modern design, functional, safe, at the same time affordable. The company produces domestic water heaters for periodic operation, during the shutdown of hot water in the apartment. Such boilers are quite compact, but they can store enough hot water for daily needs: washing dishes, hygiene procedures, cleaning. More voluminous boilers of 100-150 l and more are intended for servicing country houses and are operated year-round; they are used as the main source of hot water.
Varieties of boilers Ariston
Ariston produces several lines of gas and electric water heaters. Models are presented in the budget, medium and premium segments - the products are aimed at customers with different incomes. Despite the significant difference in price, all boilers are made of quality materials.
According to the principle of action
Ariston water heaters according to the principle of action are divided into flow and storage. Accumulative are called boilers. They are a metal tank of a certain volume with a heat-insulating layer so that the water does not cool longer. Accumulative water heaters are classified into two more types: devices for direct and indirect heating. In direct heating boilers there is a heating element, powered by electricity or gas. In indirect heating boilers, the water is heated due to the heat generated by the boiler.
The design of the instantaneous water heater does not provide for a tank for pre-heating water and its supply. Water heats up directly when the tap is opened, when it passes through a water heater.
According to the type of heating, water heaters are gas and electric. Gas are equipped with electronic, piezoelectric and hydraulic turbine ignition. In order to adjust the temperature of the heated water in gas water heaters, a gas supply setting is provided, and electric sensors have temperature sensors, a control panel or a mechanical handle.
According to the principle and place of work
There are open and closed type water heaters. The first are made of plastic. With their help, water is heated for a certain point of drawing. After heating the water in the tank, it is necessary to open the cold water supply - to provide the necessary pressure so that the hot water begins to flow into the mixer. Due to the fact that cold water is supplied from below, mixing of hot and cold layers in the boiler does not occur.
Closed-type water heaters are used to provide several water points with hot water. The tank is made mainly of steel: stainless or enameled. There are models with a copper tank. To maintain the required pressure, the tank is equipped with a check valve. To prevent scale formation in the tank, an anode is installed inside - magnesium, titanium or zinc.
Instantaneous water heaters are also divided into direct and indirect heaters. A spiral, a heating element or a gas burner is installed inside direct-heating water heaters. Indirect heating devices use a coolant to heat the pipe with water. Like boilers, instantaneous water heaters can be closed and open.
Key Specifications
The time for heating water is determined by the power of the device and its volume. These are the main technical characteristics of the boiler. The volume should be selected, focusing on the target direction of use:
- washing hands, dishes - 10-30 liters per person;
- showering - 30-50 liters for 1-2 people;
- taking a shower one after another - 50-80 liters per 2 people .;
- 3 pax (shower) - 80-100 l;
- 4 pax (any water treatment) - 100-120 l.
If the volume is large, and the power of the heating element is small, the water will heat up for a very long time. A 1.2 kW heating element installed in a 15 liter tank will heat water to 60 ° C in 45 minutes. For heating to the same temperature, but 100 l, when installing a heater of 1.5 kW, it will already take 3 hours 50 minutes.
The optimal ratio of power TENA and tank volume:
- 1.2 kW - up to 50 l;
- 1.5 kW - up to 80 l;
- 2.0 kW - up to 100 l;
- 2.5 kW - up to 120 l.
In some models, more than one TENA is installed. With the help of additional heating elements, the function of rapid heating is realized. When the function is disabled, only one item works. This allows saving if there is no need for quick heating of water.
Wall mounted boiler
Models with a volume of 10-30 liters are mounted on the wall using the supplied bracket. Fasteners are included with some models, but it is recommended that you evaluate them critically. Fasteners must support a weight of at least twice the weight of a water heater filled with water. If the boiler volume is larger and is 50-200 l, the bracket and metal fasteners must support the triple weight of the heater along with water. The diameter of the hardware should be at least 10 mm.
Similar requirements apply to the wall on which the boiler will be installed. It must withstand double / triple load.
Horizontal
It is necessary to choose a place for installation in accordance with the requirements and perform marking. The distance between the brackets is determined by the volume of the tank:
- 30 l - 270 mm;
- 50 l - 520 mm;
- 80 l - 560 mm;
- 100 l - 430 mm.
Having drilled four holes with a diameter of 16 mm and a depth of 80 mm, insert plastic dowels into them, then fix the trims with screws. The boiler is gradually lowered until it locks onto the strike plates.
Vertical
Heaters of the vertical installation method are also fixed using mating strips attached to the wall. The distance between the holes for fasteners:
- 80 l - 562 mm;
- 100 l - 430 mm.
According to the installation instructions for the Ariston boiler, it is necessary to drill four holes with a diameter of 16 mm and a depth of 80 mm, and then fix the counter strips with plastic dowels and screws. Installation of the water heater is carried out carefully. After final fixing to the wall, the reliability of the fastening is checked.
Water connection
If a collector is present in the system, a pipe with cold water is supplied to the water heater. If there is no collector, a tap is made from the water pipe - the pipeline is cut and a tee is installed in this place. The tee is soldered into a plastic pipe using a special soldering iron, the tap cuts into a metal pipe by means of a threaded connection. A ball valve is installed to shut off the water supply. In addition, a unidirectional safety valve is mounted on cold water. Between the safety valve and the heater inlet pipe, a tee outlet with a tap to drain the liquid should be installed.After supplying cold water, an outlet for hot is created. A ball valve is also installed on it.
If the heater is connected to an open water tank, the cold water outlet must be located above the highest point of the device.
Boiler operation
The operation of the boiler is not only a periodic heating of water. In order for the device to last for a long time, it should be serviced, in particular, change the anode. Some elements of the boiler develop their resource earlier than the entire structure. We are talking about a heating element, which sooner or later burns out, and it also has to be changed.
Ways to replace the heater
Before carrying out the repair, which consists in replacing the heating element, it is necessary to drain the water from the boiler, close the cold water supply tap, unscrew the check valve to drain the water from the supply pipe.
Instructions for replacing the heater in Ariston boilers with a capacity of 10 to 30 liters, as well as SG 50, 80, 100 models are as follows:
- The front cover is removed.
- The power and ground terminals are disconnected.
- The nut is unscrewed.
- The flange holder is removed, and then the flange itself by pressing it inward. The bolt should be fixed with pliers.
- The flange is shifted 90 ° and pulled out.
- Carry out the replacement of the heater.
- Build in the reverse order.
The disassembly of models with tanks from 50 to 500 liters is performed as follows:
- The plastic cover covering the fasteners is removed.
- The power and ground terminals are disconnected.
- The flange can be fastened with five bolts. In this case, they are unscrewed and the part removed.
- In some models, it is fixed with a clamp and a bolt, then you need to unscrew the nut and press on the flange.
- The element is removed by rotation through 90 °.
- Replace the heater in the Ariston water heater and assemble the boiler in the reverse order.
During the assembly process, it is necessary to ensure that all elements are installed correctly, without gaps and offsets. Instead of the old rubber flange gasket, when replacing the heater, it is recommended to install a new one to avoid leaks. Simultaneously with the replacement of the heater, it is possible to clean the tank from scale.
Usage instruction
The manufacturer recommends mounting the Ariston boiler near the outlet point to avoid heat loss. In this case, you can not install a heater:
- on the street, as well as in a room where the air temperature can be minus;
- under the influence of direct sunlight;
- where sudden changes in voltage are possible;
- in places with high humidity or a high concentration of toxic, toxic, acidic, polluting substances.
Without fail, for the device of the electric line from which the boiler is powered, a three-core cable is used and an RCD is installed. The socket to which the device is connected must be waterproof, or a 16 A fuse can be used as a switch.
Before the first start-up, you need to fill the tank with cold water, inspect the container, making sure that there are no leaks. The water heater flange must be centered, otherwise its position must be corrected by loosening and then tightening the nuts again. Then they open the hot water tap to discharge excess air, close it and turn on the appliance. The temperature in models with mechanical control is regulated by turning the knob, the devices with electronic control have an electronic display and a special panel.
Disassembly Methods
Disassembly methods may vary depending on the model. It is necessary to study the design before starting repairs, be sure to disconnect the boiler from the mains and drain the tank. If you need to disassemble the tank, you need a set of keys, and if you need to touch the electrical part, you will need a multimeter.
