Master class on the creation of an electrode boiler from improvised means

The first step is to tell you how this type of water heater works for a heating system. The principle of operation is quite simple - the coolant( in our case, pure water) enters the vessel in which the electrode is installed - a thick metal rod fixed to one of the ends of the container. The phase is connected to the electrode, and the zero conductor to the outer part of the housing. When the device is connected to a 220 volt network at a frequency of 50 Hz, the heat carrier begins to move randomly from the anode to the cathode, resulting in the heating of water ions. That is why electrode boilers can still be called ion boilers. As you can see, the principle of operation is really not complicated, although at the same time the efficiency of the system is 96-98%, which is a very high indicator.

Simple homemade from the handy tools

So, first of all we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on creating an electrode heating boiler at home, having at your fingertips the simplest parts - metal pipe and electrode, as shown in the photo .

All you need to make is:

• welding machine;
• pipe with a diameter of no more than 10 cm and a length of up to 25 cm;
• electrode( suitable metal rod 10-12 mm);
• tee of suitable diameter;
• coupling, which will be connected to the heating system;
• insulator for electrode and terminals( zero, grounding);

The assembly process is fairly simple and consists of the following steps:

1. The coupling and the tee must be screwed on both sides of the pipe, carefully tightening the products so that there are no leaks in the future.
2. Place the electrode on the side of the tee into the pipe, fixing it immovably inside with an insulator of dielectric. In this case, you can use a cap from a bimetallic radiator( as in the photo below), the main thing is to provide insulation between the tube and the electrode( so that they do not come in contact).In the plug, you only need to drill a hole of a suitable diameter, insert a rod into it and fix it from the outside with a nut.
3. On the body of the pipe, weld two bolts, M8 or M10.They are needed to connect the ground and ground terminals. Bared points of connection will also need to be insulated to protect themselves from electric shock.
4. Install the self-made electrode boiler in the heating system. Since the dimensions are small, it can be hidden even under the sink in the bathroom.
5. Start the coolant in the system and try out the finished product.

That's the whole production technology. The drawing of the simplest device should look something like this:

In addition, we recommend that you review the video review which describes the feedback from the owner of the electrode boiler, which is already used for more than 6 years:

Well, if you have a good welding machine, we recommend making an electrode boiler yourself, following all the advice given in the video course below. Such homemade work will be more safe, reliable and effective!

As you can see, you can make an electrode boiler yourself, without spending a penny of your own funds. The main desire and we hope that this video course motivated you to make your own!
