How to choose the right water heater in 29 minutes?

French brand

The French company Atlantic began its production in the second half of the 20th century and feels confident in the 21st. Over a long period of time, the organization has significantly expanded its range. The company's products are distinguished by engineering, functional features, and shape. The cost is also different. In addition to the country of the brand - France, Atlantic boilers are manufactured in Ukraine. Odessa is a representative of the Atlantis Group concern.

Features of boilers Atlantic

Long-term manufacture of boilers has led to the appearance of similar functionality in all products:

• fast heating;
• anti-corrosion resistance;
• energy saving;
• modern design;
• affordable price.

The storage water heaters are equipped with two types of heating elements: wet and dry. The first resembles a boiler, and the second does not come into contact with liquid. Wet heating elements are susceptible to corrosion, scale, for this the concern has developed a series - O'Pro, which is protected from rust and other negative effects associated with a long stay in water. Dry ones last longer, as they are shielded from liquid by a flask, in addition, the silent heating elements of the Steatite product line heat up perfectly. Prices for such heaters are slightly higher than usual.

How to choose a water heater: Atlantic tips

CHOOSE THE WATER HEATER PERFECTLY MEETING YOUR REQUIREMENTS

Hot water is the main component of comfort. We use it without even thinking about it. However, before entering the faucet, the water must be heated. Accordingly, your task is to choose a water heater that will produce hot water at the right temperature at the right time, without going beyond your budget.

ASSESS YOUR NEEDS

The amount of hot water you need depends on how many people live in your house and what their habits are. When it comes to reasonable water consumption, then it should be expected that on average, 40 to 50 liters of hot water are consumed per person per day... However, an accurate assessment of your needs is necessary, because if they are underestimated, you risk being in a cold shower. Otherwise, if you overestimate your needs, your hot water bill will go up dramatically as you will be paying for a lot of unused hot water. Some models of water heaters are able to remember how much hot water you consume daily and adjust the production of hot water depending on your habits

CHOOSE THE RIGHT WATER CAPACITY

WATER QUALITY

The quality of the water in the distribution system has a direct impact on the life of your water heater. With balanced water, the water heater will work out its service life without interruption. However, if the water is hard, this can lead to the formation of limescale, especially on the heating element, while aggressive water can cause rapid corrosion of the inner tank. Therefore, the best choice is a water heater equipped with a "dry" steatite heating element. (technology Steatite), placed in an enamelled steel flask and adapted to balanced, hard and aggressive water. Also, beware of using improperly adjusted water softeners - they produce too aggressive water.

FOR EACH TYPE OF WATER ATLANTIC RECOMMENDS OPTIMUM TANK PROTECTION:

WHICH WATER HEATER MODEL TO CHOOSE?

You can choose as traditional electric water heaterand heat pump water heater or solar water heater... Another important point: choose the right place to installbased on how much free space you have. Depending on the model of the water heater, various types of tank installation are possible: wall-mounted vertical or horizontal, floor-standing; installation in a confined space or installation in a technical room such as a garage (for solar water heaters or heat pump water heaters)

ELECTRIC WATER HEATER

Instantaneous storage electric water heater - an economical purchase and an easy-to-install device: the water tank is heated by an electric heating element, like an electric kettle. Modern water heaters are equipped with an electronic thermostat and digital display. The most advanced models are also equipped with function Smart... This means that the appliance adapts to your drinking habits, guaranteeing up to 20% energy and cost savings

SOLAR WATER HEATER

By purchasing a solar water heater, you can count on savings from 50% to 70% when paying for hot water. The water in the tank is heated by a solar collector system located on the roof. They contain a heat transfer fluid capable of transferring solar energy through a heat exchanger (mainly a coil) to a hot water tank. This option requires a larger budget, since a lot of space is needed to install a water heater (furnace or utility room), and the roof must already be equipped with a solar collector system. As a result, energy and cost savings will be significant

WATER HEATER WITH HEAT PUMP

It is possible the simplest and most modern solution that will cut bills in half... This appliance is a hot water tank combined with a heat pump into a single unit. Depending on the model, the heat pump captures the energy that it transfers to the water tank from the ambient air (the device is installed in an unheated technical room with an area of ​​at least 20 m2) or from the outside air (the device is equipped with a split system and consists of two parts, one of which is installed on the street).

BOILER WITH OPTIMIZED HEAT EXCHANGER

This is enough practical solution associated with a heating boiler: the boiler is compatible with all types of boilers that are used as back-up boilers. In winter, the boiler heats the water in the boiler using the heat carrier circulating in the heat exchanger. In the summertime, the water is heated in the boiler thanks to a back-up, built-in electric heating element (combination models)

Existing types of water heaters by volume

The characteristics that separate Atlantis water heaters can be called their volume, which varies from 10 to 300 tons of liters. Displacement determines functionality in business processes.

• 10-15 liters. - the minimum size for installation in hard-to-reach places, heated water is enough for washing dishes, hands;
• 30 l. - one person is enough for water procedures;
• 50 l. - compact, the most popular volume, there is enough hot water for two;

• boilers Atlantik 80 liters (Slim series) - a small-sized case, good capacity, for two or three people;

• 100-liter - medium size, fit in houses without inconvenience, enough heated liquid for three;

• From 100 to 500 liters. - large, for private houses and businesses.

Do you know that…

large capacity boilers, mainly floor-standing installation. Other electric heaters are wall-mounted, vertically or horizontally.

Water heaters Atlantik have different serial markings, we will get acquainted with the most famous models in this rating.

Hot water consumption

To resolve the issue of how much minimum hot water is needed, the most active period of hot water consumption per day is taken and approximately how much water was used is considered. Almost always, the hottest (both literally and figuratively) for a water heater is the morning hours, when adults are going to work, children are going to school: someone needs to take a shower, someone needs to wash and brush their teeth, then wash the dishes. Of course, it is desirable to have a small margin.

In general terms, you can use the following rough calculation. For one person using a shower and a kitchen sink to wash dishes, a water heater with a 30 liter tank will suffice. This volume of the tank is suitable for installing a boiler just in case. A family of 2 people taking a shower every morning will not be enough. Here, the installation of a storage water heater of 50 liters will be optimal. For 3 people, a tank of 80 liters will be sufficient, and for 4-5 residents in the same water use conditions, a boiler with a water supply of 100-150 liters will be needed. Special attention should be paid to taking baths, since even a single bath can consume the entire volume of hot water in a 100 liter tank.

Economical boiler Atlantic: types and tips for choosing

Before deciding to buy a water heater of any company, you should figure out what they are and understand the nuances of their work.

Water heating tank Atlantic can be:

1. Horizontal - in this case, the heating element at the device is on the side, and the water inlet pipes are very close, therefore, the liquid is mixed in the structure itself, which can cause sharp temperature jumps at the outlet. But at the same time, such models are compact and they can be placed under the ceiling, thereby not taking up much space.
2. Vertical - is cheaper than horizontal. The heating element is located at the bottom of the unit, where the cold flow of liquid enters. Thanks to this, the water heats up faster.

Heaters Atlantik can have a dry heating element, enclosed in a special flask or submersible.

In order not to be mistaken in choosing a unit, you should consider:

1. The need for heated liquid, which directly depends on the number of its consumers. For example, the average amount of water for bathing one person in a shower stall is about 30-50 liters, while washing dishes and hands takes about 20.
2. The power of the device and its compliance with the permissible network load. In order for the water to heat up as quickly as possible, models with a power of 2-2.5 kW are often taken. But if you have old wiring in your house, do not overclock too much. It is better to take a 1.2-1.5 kW unit, however, the heating time will increase.
3. Location of the device. If there is not enough free space in the room where the unit is planned to be installed, it is better to choose a horizontal model.
4. Water quality. If it is too hard, then the tank will have to be cleaned often due to the scale appearing on its walls, which will shorten the service life of the device.

When choosing a water heater, special attention should be paid to the volume of the container.The tank, designed for 50 liters, is enough for one person or a couple who are at home mostly in the evening. 80 liter tanks are larger and more capacious. It is convenient to buy them for a family of 2-3 people who are often at home.

A 100 liter boiler can be connected to various fluid supply points, while allowing them to be used at the same time. This volume is quietly enough for 3-4 people. The instruction will help to understand the connection of the device.

It is not advisable to purchase equipment in unsuitable places or in points where there are no certificates of conformity to GOST.

Popular models for an apartment and for a country house

Installed boiler in the apartment

There are no specific criteria that would distinguish an Atlantic boiler for an apartment or a private house. When choosing equipment, it is important in both cases to take into account certain parameters.

Volume of the tank

This parameter is one of those that affects the cost of equipment, the amount of energy consumed, power and aesthetic appearance. It is important to correctly determine the volume in order to ensure the normal life of consumers. Considering that the boiler can be 10, 15, 30, 50, 80, 100, 150, 200 and more liters, the range of their application is quite wide. The more conclusions and consumers there are, the larger the capacity of the storage tank should be.

Device power

Power affects the heating rate, the amount of heated water, and power consumption. The higher the heating rate and the volume of the tank, the larger the parameter is needed. But modern models have additional systems that allow you to use storage heaters, while saving electricity.

Tank material

Knowing what the tank is made of, we can assume the service life of the device. After all, corrosion quickly destroys the structure. The longer the warranty period for the product, the better the materials used for manufacturing.

Heating element type

Electric heaters can have heating elements of two types: "dry" and "wet". They are called so because the first does not come into direct contact with water, and the second works on the principle of a conventional boiler.

"Dry" heating element is located in a special flask that protects it from scale, thereby extending its service life by 2-3 years. Moreover, the "wet" heating element over time becomes overgrown with scale and starts to heat worse, while spending more energy.

Mounting method

According to the method of installation, water heaters are: horizontal and vertical.This is due to the location of the heating element inside the tank, so do not neglect the instructions for installing the equipment and install it the other way around. Such a decision will lead to a decrease in efficiency and soon to damage the device.

Control system

According to the control method, boilers can be: mechanical and electronic.

Mechanical control has no special features. Its essence lies in the presence of a rotary mechanism with an arrow indicating the value. It differs in its simplicity, reliability, durability and affordable cost. The disadvantage of this control is that it is not possible to set the exact water temperature, find out the state of the boiler, and also determine the temperature of the flowing water.

The electronic control system is superior to the mechanical one in its efficiency. With its help, you can adjust the water heating temperature with an accuracy of 1 degree, diagnose the boiler, remember the user's preferences, use the economy mode and adjust the power of the heating element. Such a control system consists of a screen and buttons.

Disadvantages: high cost, sensitivity to voltage surges.

Atlantik devices have a magnesium anode, which is necessary to protect the inner tank from corrosion.

Water heaters Аtlantic - have good reviews, reliable, convenient, with reasonable prices.

Varieties and features

The French brand "Atlantic" presented three main types of boilers for the choice of users:

• Electric - use only electricity for power supply.
• Indirect heating - they take heat from heating systems.
• With heat pumps - an environmentally friendly series that uses heat from the environment to heat water.

The latter category of boilers is distinguished by its high cost.

In our review, we will touch upon Atlantic electric and indirect boilers. We will consider both simple models, made in cylindrical cases, and design ones, which are distinguished by a solid appearance and well-thought-out ergonomics. Their production involves the developer's proprietary technologies - Diamond-Quality tank protection, Smart Control control system, Steatite dry heating elements, ACI Hybrid and O'Pro corrosion protection technologies. They make it possible to manufacture reliable and durable water heaters.

User's manual

Atlantic - modern approaches, security. The current equipment is easy to operate, with the slightest knowledge and meaningful instructions.

• Accommodation. Should be closer to the water supply units;
• Warming. The boiler must not be installed in rooms with sub-zero air temperatures. If it is a garage, the heater needs to be double insulated;
• Temperature conditions. Better if it does not exceed +40;
• Space. There should be free space near the water heater for repairs and other actions;
• Electrician. The cable from the boiler must not come into contact with other electrical appliances, the device must be grounded;
• Water in the system. Open hot and cold water taps to the device;
• Drain valve. Must be closed when opening taps;
• A sign that the tank is full. When hot water appears in the kitchen, the taps on the equipment can be closed;
• Safety before power on. Make sure that the equipment is full, check the reliability of the connections;
• Turning on;
• Job. After a while, water will flow from the drain hole - this is a feature of normal operation, you need to immediately connect the unit to the sewer;
• Conclusion. We check the device and connections again.

Did you know that ...

Sometimes during operation, the water heater may emit loud noises such as hums. Such a process is possible due to poor-quality water, and not due to a breakdown of the mechanism.

If you take good care of household appliances, operation is possible for a long time.

Boiler Atlantic 80 liters: what is good about dry heating elements

Water heaters Atlantik can be both with immersion and dry heating element. Moreover, the latter are considered more popular models. How does this happen?

Advantages of dry heating element:

• Longer service life - this is due to the fact that it is enclosed in a special flask and does not come into contact with the liquid, which means it is not affected by it;
• Lack of scale on the element;
• There is no need to regularly clean the device or use any means to improve the functioning of the unit;
• The cost of dry heating oil is cheaper than "wet".

By the way, if the dry type heating element breaks down, it will be quite easy to get to it. And you don't have to spend a lot of time looking for a replacement or repairing a part.

And yet, despite the indisputable advantages, a water heater with a dry heating element has one drawback - the water in such a boiler heats up rather slowly, since the heating element is located in a separate container, and not in water.

Customer Reviews

Water heaters Atlantic have positive and negative reviews, consider them:

If a person wants to buy a boiler, a few negative reviews will not frighten him, at least, having the necessary knowledge, you can solve any urgent problem.

Conclusion: the Atlantic boiler has modern components; efficient, reliable; aesthetically made; differs in versatility, affordable prices. An experienced manufacturer that produces quality, competitive equipment.
