- Malfunction of thermostat and thermostat. If one of the two elements fails, the heater does not turn on, or the device operates at its lowest power when the regulator is placed at the extreme end. Using a tester, the resistance is measured. The broken element is thrown out, a new one is installed in its place.
- Discharge. When the heater is operating, strange sounds are heard or the power of the device is reduced. For this, it is necessary to clean the heater from scale and dirt with special means.
- Equipment leakage failure. The only correct variant of failure is wear of the material to which the heater is attached. To do this, unscrew the heater and replace the flange under it.
If problems with the instantaneous heating water emerged as the unit is still under warranty, it is not recommended to fix it at home. At the slightest faults it is better to contact the service center.
Solar water heater is a device for which it is not necessary to connect to electricity and use pumps for water circulation. The simplest unit, often used for a summer shower or a makeshift water pipe, is a large metal tank filled with water. For a day, the water in it can warm up to 40 degrees. Thanks to the layout of the pipes, it is possible to run water, both in the shower and in the kitchen.
Using solar energy to heat water, you can save a lot of energy or gas needed for a running water heater.
The passive solar water heater must be installed in an open area
The solar convector consists of a storage tank, water pipes, a heat sink and a heat exchanger. For household needs, a 200 liter tank and a solar convector with an area of 2-2.5 square meters is sufficient. Such a device will be able to heat up enough water in a couple of hours of sunshine.
Diagram of work on the solar convector:
- One-piece pipes weld together, forming a grate. Using welding, attach it to a sheet of strong steel and cover with black paint.
- Make a frame made of moisture-resistant plywood and attach it to the steel sheet, cutting holes in the frame for the pipes.
- Insulate the pipes and cover the collector with glass, connecting the parts with silicone. Free space between the frame and the glass is also smeared with silicone.
- Bend the copper pipe in a spiral, pull its edge outwards. Tank to insulate for better heat preservation.
- Install the collector in place, connect it to the pipes for cold and hot water. The expansion tank should be installed when hot water enters the tank.
To check the boiler for operation, fill the tank with water, pour water and into the convector system. When the water is heated, it will rise up and fill the tank, and cold water will enter from the system.
