Which brand of geysers is better and more reliable? Gas water heater automatic or semi-automatic - which is better?

Gas water heaters solve the common problem of lack of hot water supply in a house or apartment. These portable water heaters, with minimal gas fuel consumption, are capable of providing hot water to living spaces of considerable size. The main advantages of such devices are their small size, the ability to heat a large amount of water, relative cheapness and maintainability. Among the disadvantages is the need for communications to connect speakers. At a minimum, it should be a gas pipe or cylinder, which not everyone has the ability to install, and models with electronic control or electric ignition require mains power. In addition, we are dealing with combustion products, so the installation of a chimney and ventilation is required, which complicates the installation of the device.

To choose a geyser with optimal parameters, you should pay attention to the following points.

• Depending on the power, the device can heat a certain volume of water. To service one circuit, it will be enough to buy a gas water heater with a power of up to 19 kW. If you need to heat a water intake at two points, then the model must have a rating of 20-28 kW. The most powerful water heaters (more than 29 kW) are capable of providing residents of a house or apartment with hot water in large quantities.
• If there are problems with the supply of gas or water, the solution would be to purchase storage geysers. They are equipped with tanks that store a supply of warm water. Thanks to the thermal insulation of the tank, gas consumption can be reduced.
• For the safe operation of modern speakers, manufacturers equip devices with various degrees of protection. The presence of a water flow sensor prevents the gas valve from opening when there is no flow. The thermal combustion sensor cuts off the gas supply when the wick goes out. The draft sensor stops the gas supply when the draft in the chimney decreases to a dangerous level. A water overheating sensor becomes a useful option; it not only prevents the formation of boiling water, but also reduces the amount of scale in the heat exchanger.
• Gas water heaters are controlled differently. Most often, models in the mid-price segment have two control options. One of them regulates the water pressure, and the other is responsible for the intensity of gas combustion.
• An important parameter in water heaters is the type of combustion chamber and exhaust gas removal system. In open chambers, gas burns in the upper part of the column, from where it is immediately removed into the chimney. Sealed, closed-type combustion chambers look somewhat more expensive, but safer. The supply of air, as well as the removal of exhaust gases, is forced in such devices. In addition to fans, such models use coaxial chimneys.

The most popular among buyers are heaters from Bosch, Ariston and Mora. These European manufacturers are famous for their reliability and performance. Domestic speaker Neva is excellent value for money. In the rating we will compare the best geysers in various price categories.

The best inexpensive geysers: budget up to 10,000 rubles.

1 Ariston Fast Evo 11C

Modern burner design. Mains power supply for electronics
A country: Italy (made in China)
Average price: RUB 13,890.
Rating (2019): 5.0

Gas water heaters equipped with burners with constant power require manual temperature adjustment with each change in pressure. Ariston speakers, in contrast, are able to maintain the specified parameters independently and regardless of how many taps are open. And it's really very convenient. Ignition also occurs automatically, using electric ignition, the power source of which is a 220V household network. If the user lives in a city apartment and there are no special problems with the supply of electricity, energy dependence is quite a good option that allows you to save on batteries.

However, not all reviews are equally positive. Some blame the radiator for failure after 3 years of operation - they say it leaked or burned out. To prevent this, experts recommend that future users be very careful when installing the device and setting it to pressure according to the instructions, or resort to the services of a service center technician with access to gas equipment. In this case, the column works correctly and requires absolutely no attention.

The best geysers for several water points (pressure water heater)

For those rooms where there are several hot water intake points, pressure water heaters are the best option. Flow-through models may not be able to cope, since a sufficiently large amount of hot water needs to be supplied at the same time, and in pressure devices its level is constant (pumping is carried out), which makes it possible to provide a certain reserve, consumed by several receivers. The device is installed in a common riser, where distribution occurs.

5 American Water Heater PROLine G-61-50T40-3NV

It is no secret that not only owners of private houses, but also owners of apartments in high-rise buildings have recently increasingly installed their own independent heating and hot water supply systems. About - in a separate publication, and this article will be devoted to questions of how to choose a gas water heater so as not to have problems providing your household with hot water.

Probably everyone knows common Since ancient times, the expression: “my home is my fortress.” You can, of course, put a variety of meanings into it. But if you look from an everyday point of view, from the position of a caring and economical owner, then this can be perceived as a desire for the greatest possible autonomy, for independence from public utilities with their unpredictable quirks in the form of changes in the conditions for the provision of services, tariff increases, supply failures, preventive maintenance, accidents and the like.

But even before the speech will do about the problems, in fact, of choosing these devices, you need to, at least briefly, familiarize yourself with their basic structure. This is necessary, first of all, in order to try to dispel a number of fairly common prejudices that were formed in the collective consciousness regarding speakers quite a long time ago are firmly entrenched there and are very difficult to “neutralize.”

The design of a geyser and its advantages

In order not to make mistakes when choosing such a heating device, it is necessary to at least approximately understand its structure. Although The range of modern geysers is quite large; their operation uses the same principles of both internal structure and functionality.

The diagram shows the approximate structure of a typical modern flow-through gas heater. Of course, specific models from different manufacturers may have their own characteristics, but only in matters of layout or ease of use.

1 – fume hood, closed with metal walls, a volume from which gas combustion products are removed in one way or another. It can be completely sealed or connected to the atmosphere (in conventional, chimney or chimneyless columns).

2 – copper heat exchanger. A pipe system with a “jacket” that receives the direct impact of the flame of gas burners. This is where the heating of running water takes place.

3 – ignition sensor. Provides a control signal to open the common gas solenoid valve only if the ignition wick is operating.

4 – ignition wick. There may be different principles of operation - this will be discussed below.

5 - gas burner, more precisely, several lines of gas burners, providing their uniform heating of water in the heat exchanger.

6 – water unit, which includes, among other things, a fitting for connecting a cold water main (pos. 9), a screw water flow regulator (pos. 9, not for all models), and a drain valve (pos. 10, also optional, not on all speakers).

The main element of a water node is always so-called "frog".

In essence, it is a working cylinder, the volume of which is divided into two parts using an elastic membrane.

Both halves of the “frog” are connected to each other by a fitting of a certain diameter. The point is that when water is opened through the column, due to the pressure difference in the two parts of this “frog”, the membrane bends upward and pushes the rod, which is connected to the spring-loaded gas valve, opening it. As soon as the water flow is stopped (the water tap is closed), the pressure under the membrane drops, the valve returns to its original position, and the gas burner, accordingly, immediately goes out.

11 - in this diagram - a unit with microswitches (optional).

12 – gas block with gas hose connection fitting (pos. 13). This is where the spring-loaded gas valve is located, connected by a rod (rod) to the water unit.

14 – in this column – the electronics unit that controls the operation of the water heater. In inexpensive simple speakers it may simply be absent. Pos. 8 – compartment for batteries (batteries) necessary to generate an ignition pulse on the igniter.

15 – connection fitting to the hot water distribution line.

16 – mechanical regulator that switches operating modes, controls the levels of water flow and gas supply. In modern speakers it can be completely replaced by an electronics unit, with control signals transmitted through push-button or touch control panels.

17 and 18 – cascade of column operation sensors. The specific “filling” may be different - this will be mentioned below in the article.

As already mentioned, any model may have its own distinctive features, but the basic principle of the structure still remains the same.

The diagram for connecting the column to the water supply pipes, regardless of its model, is the same for everyone - it is shown in the figure.

So, when you open the water at the hot water tap, water from the cold main begins to flow through the column. The pressure of the water flow opens the gas supply valve, which causes the burners to ignite (more on the ignition mechanism below). The energy of the combustion gas is converted into heating water - and water flows at the required temperature from the “hot” taps on the mixers.

This is one of the main advantages of a geyser - it works exclusively at the moment when hot water is required, the rest of the time being in “standby mode” or in the off state. The owners of the house (apartment) use hot water only when needed, and at the same time do not depend on work in any way.

The second main advantage is, of course, operating costs. So far, no other energy carriers can match the cost of natural gas.

The speaker, of course, also has disadvantages, and considerable ones.

• It will not be possible to install it on your own - coordination with the relevant organizations, drawing up and approval of projects is required (unless, of course, the house was previously equipped with such water heaters).
• The operation of the dispenser, even in its most modern version, still requires all residents to comply with certain safety rules.
• A stock of heated water is not created, unlike an electric or gas boiler.
• The initial installation of the column may involve very large-scale work to ensure the removal of combustion products or to create forced ventilation.

It should be noted that the designers of geysers managed to solve most of the “old problems” of gas instantaneous water heaters. Nevertheless, a certain number of people still have some kind of bias towards them. Therefore, in the next section of the article we will try to take a closer look at modern ones precisely in the light of persistent myths about their danger or inconvenience.

Modern geysers – should we be afraid?

An interesting feature of geysers is that, willingly or unwillingly, they can even change demand, and therefore prices, in the secondary housing market. Realtors won’t let you lie - very often one of the main issues during the initial consideration of proposals is connecting the house to a centralized hot water supply and, accordingly, the presence or absence of gas water heating systems.

It is characteristic that there is no unity of views on this issue. Of course, people, exhausted since childhood by the old Soviet ones, with their whims, noise, unsightly appearance, with constant “pressure” from elders about strict rules of use and the danger of violating them, do not want to hear about purchasing an apartment with gas water heaters.

However, there is also the opposite category - people who are already familiar with the fickleness of public utilities, with inflated tariffs and payment by meters for hot water (moreover, in order to wait for the first drops of hot water, it is often necessary to pour at least 3 ÷ 5 minutes of cold water, since the circuits circulation in many multi-storey houses are simply cut off). And such experienced clients, on the contrary, will be more satisfied with housing with a speaker. However, many people prefer to combine both possibilities - this is the most reasonable approach.

What are the main “myths” about geysers that continue to live, scaring off potential buyers of such equipment?

1. The column is very difficult to operate; it requires independent ignition with matches and constant monitoring.

Let's figure it out.

Well, firstly, any technique requires control, regardless of complexity. No one blames the gas stove with its open flame for this, or the faucet in the bathroom, which also needs to be monitored so that it does not leak over time.

Secondly, lighting with matches can only be found on those very “rarities” of the Soviet installation. Perhaps they are still produced somewhere, however, all, without exception, modern models worthy of mention are fired up differently.

— The simplest, “imperfect” modern speakers are equipped with piezo ignition. Before use, it is necessary to light the igniter wick by pressing the corresponding button, while turning the control handle to the appropriate position. Even this scheme is considered “outdated”, is used less and less and is giving way to other principles of ignition.

— Electric ignition is popular. At the moment the water starts, a sensor is triggered, which gives a signal to the electric igniter. At the same time, a channel for limited gas supply to the torch opens and a spark is generated to ignite it. The energy for sparking comes either from installed batteries (usually 1.5 or 3 volts) or from the power supply.

— Another modern method is the “HidroPower” system. A hydraulic turbine is built into the cold water supply pipe into the column. At a certain liquid pressure (usually about 0.3 - 0. 5 bar) the turbine induces an electrical charge sufficient to produce a spark for ignition of the igniter torch, which then it will transfer the fire to a common gas burner.

All this takes a long time to read - but in fact, the process of automatically igniting the flame when water is turned on occurs within just a few seconds.

So, in modern water heaters, no special human intervention is required (except for first opening the gas tap): turn on the hot water and use it.

By the way, you can immediately give an answer to a possible problem - why do you need an ignition burner (torch) at all? Surely it’s impossible to immediately ignite the main one?

It is forbidden! Until the torch warms up the sensor, the gas start solenoid valve will not operate. The very small amount that is taken at the moment of starting on the wick does not pose any danger to people - it will easily escape into the ventilation. But if suddenly the column accidentally goes out, the sensor has cooled down, then the gas supply will be blocked - the solenoid valve will close the line completely.

2. It is a very common belief that the column is a very explosive device.

What could explode there? If we are talking about gas, then it is no more dangerous in this regard than a regular gas stove. In the same way, provided that there is no leak, ventilation is normal, there is no place for an explosive concentration of gas to come from.

If we talk about the likelihood of an explosion of an overheated volume of water, then a boiler in this regard is probably even more dangerous. In the column, with its flow principle of operation, there are much fewer such conditions for an explosion. Moreover, in any (even the oldest and most imperfect) there are always at least two lines of “defense”, about which at same mentioned: an electromagnetic valve, which will not allow the burner to ignite independently, and a “frog” water valve, which shuts off the gas in the absence of water flow.

3. The fear is somewhat similar to the second point: there may not be an explosion, but a gas leak will lead to poisoning and a sad outcome.

You can refute it by citing all the same arguments that were presented two paragraphs above. And we can only add once again: the degrees of protection of a conventional gas stove are much lower, and the likelihood of a gas leak from the stove or oven into the living space is much higher. Nevertheless, for some reason, they are more afraid of gas water heaters in this regard, although this is completely illogical.

4. Another very persistent, but completely incomprehensible prejudice is that a gas water heater will completely ruin the interior of the kitchen.

Probably, only someone who can’t get the image of an old, rust-covered ancient pump with metal pipes leading to it in his imagination, can say this only.

Blaming modern geysers for being unsightly is the same as making similar complaints about refrigerators, microwaves, hoods, ovens, etc. Gas water heaters fit perfectly into the kitchen decor, take up very little space, and sometimes stand out against the general interior background just by the presence of a chimney pipe. (and even then - not always).

What else to consider when choosing a column

So, we come to a common opinion: there is no need to be afraid of geysers, they should become reliable and safe helpers in the household. This means that we should take a closer look at the criteria that should be taken into account when choosing this device in a store.

TOP 5 best geysers for apartments

Gas water heater power

Under this parameter lies the ability of the geyser to heat a certain amount of water per unit of time to the required temperature. In general, the entire variety of these devices can be divided into three classes:

Low power geysers. The rating does not exceed 19 kW, and such a water heater is capable of serving only one point of consumption at a time.

Medium power speakers include devices rated from 20 to 28 kW. Usually they are already enough to simultaneously draw heated water in two places.

The most powerful are geysers that produce 29 kW or more. Their performance is even enough to take a bath in one place with simultaneous, for example, washing dishes in the kitchen, or with simultaneous using hot water in three places is quite enough for any “everyday” situation, even in a large country mansion.

It may be objected that kilowatts, although they are indicated in the product passport and on the information plate on the case, still mean little to the average user. It’s difficult to argue with this, so we’ll try to explain this meaning more clearly.

The main purpose of the column is to raise the water temperature from the initial value ( TVx) to what is necessary for domestic use ( TN). The difference between these two values ​​(delta) will show what our water heater is capable of.

ΔТ = Тн - Твх

The “delta” itself is not interesting - you need to know how much water the column can heat for such a difference per unit of time. (usually measured in liters per minute).

How to determine the required power?

It can be taken as a statement that for the normal functioning of a kitchen sink, about 4 liters of heated water per minute are required. For taking a shower, 6 liters is usually enough. (These values ​​have been tested in practice, and, by the way, they are what are used to guide the development of special economizer devices in the form of aerators or special fittings, which, even if desired, do not allow the use of larger volumes, thereby helping to save water).

The power of the required water heater can be calculated using the formula:

М = ΔТ × Σv/14.3

M – required power,

ΔT– heating value (see above)

Σ v– total volume of simultaneous consumption;

14,3 – coefficient taking into account the heat capacity of water.

Let's assume that a column is selected that allows simultaneous use of a shower and sink in the kitchen. The total volume will be Σ v= 4 + 6 = 10 l/min.

Magnitude ΔT– depends, of course, on the inlet water temperature. If we assume that water comes from a water supply with a temperature of about 10 - 15 ° WITH, then a rise of 25 degrees should be quite acceptable - the output will be about 40 ° WITH, which is enough for both taking a shower and washing dishes.

In total we get:

M = 25 × 10 / 14.3 = 17.4 kW

It is clear that this value is the lower acceptable limit. It is recommended to add another 15 - 20% reserve to it, and then round up to whole numbers. We get 21 kW. The speaker you purchase must have this power. Of course, all models of water heaters have their own gradations and capacities, but you need to buy one so that the value is not lower.

Perhaps this may seem too complicated. In addition, the initial temperature value may be different, for example, in winter, the water may have about 5 degrees at the inlet. In order not to force readers to “suffer” with formulas, it is better to provide a table in which the power of the column will be linked to the inlet temperature and the overall performance of the device, provided that it supplies water to the mixer at 40 ° WITH:

Usually both power and ΔT are the basic values ​​of the water heater and must be indicated in the technical documentation.

And the most accurate calculation using the same formula will be possible with the proposed online calculator.

Using it is easy.

• First, the temperature that is planned to be obtained at the output of their column is indicated. At the discretion of the future owner - for some, 40 degrees is enough, but maybe someone wants it cooler or, conversely, hotter.
• The next step is to indicate the temperature of the water supplied to the column. Here you can proceed either from existing circumstances. For example, from some sources - wells, boreholes, storage tanks, water is supplied, regardless of the time of year, always at approximately the same temperature. And you can calculate it for the most unfavorable conditions, when the water in winter is so cold that it is not far from the freezing line.
• Next, you need to indicate (check the boxes) those hot water collection points that, according to the owners, can be used simultaneously without interfering with one another. Of course, if you supply water to all plumbing fixtures at once, then you probably won’t find such a powerful device.

But this is all decided at home, so to speak, by administrative methods. And it’s difficult to imagine a situation where one family member, for example, is washing dishes in the kitchen, a second one is standing in the shower at the same time, a third is taking a bath, etc. And the calculator, by the way, will help you fully imagine what can be used at the same time.

• All other values ​​- the average statistical consumption at points of consumption and the heat capacity of water - have already been entered into the calculation program.
• All that remains is to press the “CALCULATE…” button - and the answer will be given, expressed in kilowatts of the required thermal power of the column. In addition to the calculated value, another one will be shown - taking into account the 15% power reserve, since “driving” the water heater to the limit of its operating capabilities is far from the best solution.

A gas water heater in an apartment or private house allows you to provide residents with hot water at any time. In addition, it makes it possible to save money, since heating occurs only as needed and paying for gas is cheaper than for hot water from a central water supply. Considering the potential danger of such equipment, the choice must be approached very responsibly. A cheap, low-quality, defective or counterfeit speaker will pose a threat not only to property, but also to people’s lives. The following is a rating of geysers in terms of reliability and quality in 2018 according to the Marka.guru portal.

To decide which geyser is better, take into account the following features of water heaters:

1. Water heater type. There are flow-through (columns) and storage (boilers). The former are compact in size, but at the same time must have high power. The second type has a storage tank, the volume of which can reach 500 liters. It is advisable to have this type in a private home.
2. Performance. The power of the column determines how much water it can pass per unit of time. On average, a productivity of 10-13 liters per minute is sufficient for an apartment.
3. Possible pressure, for which the water heater is designed. We are talking about the minimum required pressure to turn on the column, as well as the maximum that it can withstand. These indicators directly affect the reliability of the device.
4. Ignition type. Older systems use a manual or electromechanical type, while modern ones use electronic control. In this case, the power can be supplied from the electrical network, from a battery, or there can be a hydraulic generator. The latter type is rarely used due to its high cost.
5. Availability of power regulator. Allows you to change the combustion intensity depending on the water pressure.
6. Heat exchanger material. Can be steel or copper. It is better when purified copper is used, since the presence of impurities impairs heat transfer.
7. Carbon monoxide removal. It can be carried out into the chimney or through a hole in the wall to the street using forced ventilation.
8. Safety. The best geysers have various sensors and automatic shutdown systems when conditions arise that create a danger in using the device.

Conclusion

As you can see, the price range for instantaneous water heaters is very high. Typically, cheap speakers are less powerful and are designed for low water consumption. If the family is large and there is more than one water intake in the apartment, then you should choose a more expensive heater. It is difficult to talk about the advantages of any brand, since much depends on the assembly. In addition, there are often fakes or defective batches on the market, especially for well-known manufacturers.

The type of ignition is also a matter of individual preference. Automatic is convenient for most consumers, but many believe that it breaks down faster. And if the power comes from batteries and not from the mains, then there is a need for periodic replacement. But there is no need to connect the device to the network. So the final choice of a gas water heater will vary depending on preferences and conditions of use, and the rating according to the Mark.guru portal will help identify and compare the best models based on the combination of reliability and quality.

Dramatic changes will occur in the kitchen if you replace old equipment, in particular, the column. The apartment will become more comfortable and nice.

Choose the best option

Even if the kitchen is small, the column will not be cramped and will harmoniously complement the space. The new speakers have many differences from the speakers of previous years, and they will immediately become noticeable. Among them:

• compactness;
• variety of design;
• automatic igniter;
• protection system.

Each manufacturer tries to conquer customers with the strength of parts, build quality, and supplement the design with relevant functions - proprietary features. The advantages of operation, service, and maintenance increase the demand and profit of the enterprise. In addition, geysers should be beautiful. Not only technical, but also external parameters matter. After looking at the photos, it’s easy to understand whether this model is worth buying. Of course, technical characteristics are more important; any gas equipment must be safe. A kitchen simply must be beautiful and inspire.

The New Year brought a lot of changes

The 2016 rating of geysers is losing its relevance, and it’s time to create a new one, which includes models that were popular in 2017. What did the new year bring to customers, what has changed? Taking leading positions in the ranking of the best geysers of 2017 is not so easy.

The main criteria, of course:

• price;
• quality;
• reliability;
• uniqueness.

In the past year, the usual price remained the same, the quality remained the same, new equipment was released, and fashion changed.

Who is the leader? First things first. In first place are geysers with an electronic display. The reviews about them are the best, it’s worth considering purchasing.

Such a rational, practical addition as a display is not yet available in every model. Some people need it, some don't. This part does not particularly affect the quality, reliability, or durability of the product. It guarantees a dialogue with the equipment. The water temperature is visible, which is easier to regulate. At the same time, geysers do not change their dimensions, they remain compact, which is what people like most, perhaps. An electronic display is a step towards the future, therefore, it is models with a built-in display that open the 2017 reliability and quality rating of geysers.

The Russian speaker “Neva 4510-M” has an electronic display. It certainly makes a difference. It is much easier to control the operation of equipment thanks to this innovation. In addition, flow-through geysers “Neva 4510-M” heat 10 liters per minute, the power is 17.90 kW, and there is an overheating protection system. Quality and reliability are the hallmarks of gas equipment from this manufacturer.

Both the dimensions and the design of the case are attractive in this model - they evoke sincere sympathy. The Beretta, for example, is not so elegant, although it is not inferior in other characteristics and is just as practical. If a person likes surrealism and its fantastic images, then it is better to choose the Beretta brand. But if you prefer the classics, then you should opt for the “Neva” column, which you will undoubtedly like better.

The price of the Neva is also tempting. And if you can save money, there is no reason to refuse pleasant expenses. This is a good purchase, it’s hard to argue with this statement, because the speaker will last for many years without breakdowns. It is easy to use. Everything is provided in it.

The quality and reliability of German geysers Roda JSD20-T1 meet international standards. The country in which they are collected is China. The process is controlled, the result is checked, the factories are equipped with modern equipment. This strategy guarantees a reduction in cost and makes geysers affordable. Interesting design, convenient arrangement of elements, electronic display, warranty service - all these are Roda JSD20-T1 geysers. This is a good choice, a popular model.

Geyser Roda JSD20-A1 is another popular model from this manufacturer. She looks very good. Other colors are available, not just the white body. The apartment will be transformed. There is an electronic display. The cost is pleasantly surprising, and the rating of the best gas water heaters 2017 without the Roda JSD20-A1 would be incomplete. Power of 20 kW, electronic ignition, traction control sensor are just some of the characteristics of this wonderful gas equipment.

The top best geysers should include this model: Zanussi GWH 10 Fonte. This is a magnificent example of the well-known quality from the Zanussi company. It has an electronic display, and speakers with a pattern on the body are available in white. They are small and look very nice. The price is reasonable, operation will not cause problems, because many little things have been thought out in advance in the column. These are the convenient location of the handles, the smoothness of the surface, the parameters of the hole that provides access to the igniter, and so on.

The quality of the materials from which the body is made, the details, the reliability of the design, the power of 18.5 kW, the heating rate of 10 l/min - all these are Zanussi GWH 10 Fonte flow columns. The rating without it would be untruthful, dishonest, unfair. This technique is in demand no matter what, because it is characterized by brightness and beauty. The apartment with it will become more comfortable and spacious, especially if the column from the USSR was working before.

Halsen WM 10

The rating continues with Halsen WM 10. Reviews from people who decided to buy this model promise success for all buyers. There are practically no disadvantages - tested in practice. The speaker lasts a long time and is easy to operate. Breakdowns are rare, the quality satisfies the needs of even very demanding consumers. It should be included in the top best models.

Each new year of service of Halsen WM 10 will confirm its leadership status. The best flow-through geysers should be exactly like this. This is an ideal option for an apartment with both a small kitchen and a large one for a home.

Electrolux GWH 265 ERN Nano Plus

The Electrolux GWH 265 ERN Nano Plus column, due to its small dimensions, does not take up much space. But with its design it still attracts attention, does not hide or hide, and boldly complements the space. It has excellent technical characteristics, which makes it worthy of the attention of buyers. Therefore, it is included in the rating of geysers for apartments, the best, most in demand. The company has been providing residents of different countries with high-quality gas equipment for many years. The prices will also pleasantly surprise you. The best options are not necessarily the most expensive.

Mora Vega 10

The Mora Vega 10 speaker is modest, characterized by restraint and rigor in design. There is no electronic display, but the quality is worthy of praise. The rating would be incomplete without her. This is an excellent option for kitchens of any size, with any design. It is easy to use, there is nothing superfluous in it. Mora Vega 10 will appeal to those people who value practicality and quality. This is a slightly conservative option, but reliable.

"Ladogaz" VPG 10E

A stylish column with an electronic display “Ladogaz” VPG 10E – it heats water up to 85 degrees, a throughput of 10 l/minute, a power of 19 kW and a good price. That's why she is in demand. This is a rational decision, a profitable purchase. The column rarely breaks, but even when it does, finding the right spare part, original, appropriate, is not a problem. Buyers trust this company, it is often recommended, and for good reason. For many years it will be she who will delight others with her proper work.
