Reviews of ARISTON water heaters with a volume of 80 liters

For those buyers who have decided and purchased an ariston water heater, the reviews remain purely positive. Below are some of them.

“Pros: excellent “employee”.
Cons: didn't find any.

Since we have private house, but there is no gas, it was decided to purchase a boiler. Tired of constantly heating water on the stove in order to buy up and simply wash the dishes. We asked friends who already have experience with such units. Those, in turn, advised the ariston water heater. After reading more reviews, we opted for a brand like ARISTON.

Bought a model with a volume of 80 liters. This is enough for a family to use. I really liked the presence of a sensor with which you can always find out the level of water temperature in order to “not get into a slippage”)). This heater served us for many years, it was even sad to leave (they removed it, because they had gas and connected a double-circuit boiler). But during the service, this heater showed itself just fine: it quickly “delivered” hot water and kept its temperature for a long time, it spent little electricity. In general, the model is excellent !!!

“Advantages: compactness, fast heating of water, low electricity consumption, equipped with additional protection.
Cons: none.

Excellent water heater. I had to get acquainted with him when a systematic shutdown began in the houses hot water on the indefinite terms. In order not to sit and wait for a "miracle", it was decided to buy a water heater. On the advice of the seller purchased a heater

Ariston SG-80, which did not have a high price. And yes, we liked it too. The place for the boiler was determined in the toilet, where it did not create inconvenience to anyone. During the use, we made sure that they took an excellent assistant: it quickly heats water (80 liters in 4 hours), consumes little - 1.5 kW, heats water to an acceptable temperature - 75 o, there is a safety valve and magnesium anode. We were completely satisfied with our choice!”

“Advantages: simplicity, reliability, ease of use.
Cons: didn't find any.

The Ariston SG-80 brand water heater came into our house back in 2013, we bought it at a discount and did not regret it. My husband did the installation himself and it wasn't that hard. The heater serves the bathroom and sink. There is enough water to the head, despite the fact that we set the heating level to 50 o, it allows you to save a little. It takes an average of 2 hours to heat 80 liters at this temperature. I was very pleased with the quiet operation of this device. We are satisfied with the purchase."

“Advantages: heating up to 75 °, low consumption of electricity.
Disadvantages: little essential, but ill-conceived lid.

Our small town is not connected to hot water supply. While they lived together, they managed. But after the appearance of the baby, they decided to buy a boiler. We chose models with a volume of 80 liters available at our means. We settled on the Ariston SG 80 model, which suited us in all respects: energy consumption of 1.5 kW, volume, heating temperature, which reaches 75 ° and, of course, the price.

Having established, they themselves felt the dignity. Everything worked "with a bang." It created a little inconvenience when switching the temperature, when it was necessary to switch the lever under the lid. It was not entirely convenient to crawl with a screwdriver to the right place. But this is not so significant, because we had to change the temperature indicators only once. In general, the model is excellent. Recomend for everybody!"

Principle of operation and main elements

The water in the water heater is heated to the set temperature. When the hot water tap is opened, cold water begins to flow into the water heater through the cold water supply pipe. Cold water coming from below displaces previously heated water through the hot water pipe coming from the top of the unit. Thus, hot water, starting from the top of the tank, enters the consumer, and the water heater is filled from below cold water.

The thermostat is activated and the heating element (heater) starts heating the water again to the set temperature. In thermoelectric models, water heating in the water heater can also be carried out using a built-in coil, which is connected to the heating system.

The main elements of the water heater are:

The inner tank is made of steel and is protected from the corrosive effects of water by either fine enamel or enamel with a high titanium content. (depending on the model) or made of stainless steel.
Thermal insulation - made of polyurethane foam, ensures minimal heat loss even when the water heater is turned off.
Temperature regulator - sets the desired water temperature and is located either outside or under the cover, depending on the model.
Thermostat - monitors the set temperature and controls the supply voltage to the heating element (heater).
Safety valve - installed at the inlet to the water heater and prevents the return of water to the supply water supply line and protects the tank from pressure above 8 bar (atm.)
Magnesium anode - additional protection of the inner tank against corrosion.

All water heaters have certificates of conformity of the State Standard of Russia (AYA46).

Installation

To install the purchased equipment, you can use the paid services of our service center specialists (tel. TsTO "Elves" - 270-39-12, 268-96-46), who will carry out all the necessary work.

You can also use the services of any other qualified professionals. However, in this case "Merloni TermoSanitari" is not liable for damage caused by incorrect installation and disregard for the recommendations of this manual, namely:

The electrical connection must be carried out in accordance with the rules in section "2.3. Electrical connection".
The safety valve included in the scope of supply must not be plugged or replaced.
Installation is recommended to be carried out by qualified personnel.

For ease of installation directly under the sink, the 10 l and 15 l models, which have the letter "S" in the designation, have a pipe supply from above.

To reduce heat loss along the length of the pipes, the device should be installed as close as possible to the point of hot water extraction. To facilitate the maintenance of the device, leave space for free access to electrical parts (approximately 0.5 m).

For water heaters large capacity(from 200 liters), which have a recirculation outlet, in the case of remote hot water extraction points, it is recommended to organize recirculation.

Water heater mounting

A) Models with a capacity of 10 to 30 liters inclusive

Attach the supplied bracket to the wall. The fittings must support twice the weight of the water heater filled with water.

Slide the heater onto the tabs of the bracket and, pressing down slightly, fit onto them.

C) Wall-mounted models with a capacity of 50 to 200 liters inclusive

The wall mount brackets must be capable of supporting three times the weight of the heater filled with water. It is recommended to use metal fasteners with a diameter of 10 mm (screws, screws, hooks, etc.)

Floor installation

Floor water heaters from 200 to 500 liters are installed only on the floor and have legs included in the delivery. To prevent the appliance from tipping over, install the feet symmetrically so that the weight of the water heater is evenly distributed over the three support points. Fix the legs by screwing them to the walls of the water heater.

Connection to the water supply system

The hoses and connections connected to the water heater must be able to withstand both operating pressure and a temperature of at least 80°C.

Standard connection

With a standard connection, the water heater operates at a pressure determined by the pressure in the line.

Connection of the inlet pipe of the water heater to the water supply system is carried out through the safety valve included in the delivery set.

For ease of maintenance, when connecting to the water supply system, it is recommended to add a tee outlet between the inlet pipe of the water heater and the safety valve, to which to connect a tap to drain water from the water heater (in order to avoid accidental openings, it is better if it is opened with a special key).

Do not use too much force when screwing in the safety valve to avoid breakage.

The safety valve has two functions:

allows water to pass in only one direction (is a non-return valve)
at pressures above 8 bar, it bleeds water through the hole on the side (calibrated to 8 bar)

The appearance of water droplets from the opening of the safety valve during water heating is natural process and is associated with the expansion of water in the tank when heated.

Under no circumstances should the valve opening be blocked!

If the water pressure in the line exceeds 5 bar (atmospheres), a pressure reducer should be installed after the water meter.

Connection "with open outlet"

When using an electric water heater for one point of consumption, it is possible to use an "open outlet" scheme.

To do this, use the appropriate valves and connect according to the diagram in fig. 2 in the instruction manual.

The installation of a safety valve is not mandatory, but to prevent the return of water to the water supply system, its installation is still desirable.

Note. This scheme is rarely used, since it is impossible to use a standard mixer.

Connection to an open water tank (cottage option)

If water enters the water heater by gravity from the tank, then the tee for distributing water from the tank to the water heater and other needs must be higher than the top point of the water heater.

Electrical connection

The power supply is connected directly to the thermostat terminals using a cable of rated cross section (e.g. three-wire copper cable 3x1.5 mm²), while grounding is mandatory. The ground wire is connected to the terminal with the symbol.

The supply cable must be led through the hole at the back of the machine and connected to the thermostat terminals and the earth terminal.

B) For models with a capacity of 50 to 500 liters inclusive, the supply cable is connected to the thermostat terminals and the earth terminal through the provided hole in the plastic cover of the water heater. Attach the cable to the cover using the clip provided.

To disconnect the heater from the mains, use a two-pole switch (preferably automatic) with a distance between open contacts of at least 3 mm (power cable and two-pole switch are not included in the delivery set).

Make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to the value indicated on the name plate of the heater (nameplate).

Turn on and work

Commissioning

Make sure the heater flange is centered. If it moves slightly, correct its position by loosening and tightening the nut(s).

Immediately before switching on, fill the water heater with water by opening the cold water supply valve and the hot water valve to expel the air. After filling the water heater, close the hot water faucet, inspect the machine to make sure it is not leaking. Turn on the water heater. For models with a capacity of 10 to 30 liters, it is necessary to turn on the switch directly on the device itself.

The control thermostat controls the operation of the machine.

In heating mode, the indicator light is on.

The cold water inlet pipe may become hot during operation.

Before each subsequent use, make sure that the water heater is filled with water by opening the hot water tap and making sure that water flows.

Temperature control

For the thermostat maximum setting temperature ranges from 68 to 75°C.

The temperature can be adjusted by turning the knob connected to the thermostat (for models with this knob) or by turning the thermostat adjusting screw with a screwdriver (for models without a knob, to do this, remove the plastic cover).

It is recommended to set the regulator to position "E". In the absence of an external regulator, this is approximately 75% of the maximum. In this case, the device operates in an economical mode, significantly, the rate of scale formation is reduced.

A) For models with a capacity of 10 to 30 liters inclusive

An increase in temperature is achieved by turning the screw clockwise, and a decrease - counterclockwise.

C) For models with a capacity of 50 to 500 liters inclusive

Decreasing the temperature is achieved by turning the screw clockwise and increasing it counterclockwise (as shown graphically on the heating level indicator or marked with "+" and "-" signs).

If the water heater is left unattended for a long time, disconnect the water heater from the electrical network and turn off the tap in the cold water supply line.

Shutdown for the winter

If the water heater is not used for winter period(for example, in a country house), all the water must be drained to prevent freezing of the water in the water heater.

To do this, disconnect the water heater from the electrical network, turn off the tap in the cold water supply line, open the tap on the outlet pipe and drain the water from the inlet pipe (by unscrewing the safety valve or opening the tee tap).

Models 10 UR and 15 UR must be removed from the wall and turned over to drain the water.

Maintenance and current repairs

Current repair and Maintenance recommended to be carried out by qualified personnel.

Replacement of individual parts

Before carrying out any repair or maintenance operation, disconnect the appliance from the mains!

Replacing the thermostat and indicator light

A) For models with a capacity of 10 to 30 liters inclusive

To gain access to the thermostat, unscrew and remove the front cover of the water heater.

The thermostat is removed after unscrewing the two fixing screws (without draining the water from the tank).

To replace a faulty indicator bulb, remove the thermostat by unscrewing the two fixing screws, disconnect the terminals and unscrew the bulb from the socket.

B) For models with a capacity of 50 to 500 liters inclusive

To access the thermostat, unscrew and remove plastic cover water heater. The thermostat is removed from the terminals of the heating element with a slight effort (without draining the water from the tank). To replace a faulty indicator bulb, after removing the plastic cover, disconnect the terminals and remove the bulb from the socket.

On models with a capacity of 500 l, the adjustment knob must be removed before removing the plastic cover; remove the thermostat from the mounting plate by unscrewing the mounting screws, remove the sensors from the sleeve.

Replacing the heating element

The water heater must be emptied before working on the heating element. To do this, turn off the tap in the cold water supply line, open the tap on the outlet pipe and drain the water from the inlet pipe (by unscrewing the safety valve or opening the tee tap).

Models 10 UR and 15 UR must be removed from the wall and turned over.

A) For models with a capacity of 10 to 30 liters inclusive (And models SG 50, 80, 100)

Remove the front plastic cover;
Disconnect the power terminals and the ground terminal, unscrew the nut;
Remove the flange holder, then, holding the bolt with pliers, press the flange inwards;
Now the flange can be pulled out by turning it 900;
When reinstalling everything, make sure that the flange gasket, thermostat and heating element are installed correctly.

B) For models with a capacity of 50 to 500 liters inclusive (except models SG 50,80,100)

Remove the plastic cover;
Disconnect the power and ground terminals;
When fixing the flange with five bolts, unscrew the bolts and remove the flange;
When fixing the flange with a clamp and a bolt, unscrew the nut and, pressing on the flange with a movement directed towards the inside of the apparatus, remove the flange by turning it by 90°;
The heating element is connected to the flange;
When reinstalling everything, make sure that the flange gasket, thermostat and heating element are installed correctly. For horizontal models, the heater must be mounted turned down.

Replacing the rubber gasket

When dismantling the flange, it is advisable to replace rubber gasket to a new one.

Regular maintenance

Scale can be carefully scraped off the dismantled heating element so as not to damage its protective surface, or the heating element can be treated with substances designed to remove scale.

For additional corrosion protection, Merloni Thermosanitary water heaters are equipped with oversized magnesium anodes. With the aggressive properties of water, the magnesium anode wears out in 1-2 years.

The condition of the magnesium anode should be checked YEARLY. In case of severe wear, the magnesium anode must be replaced!

If the magnesium anode is worn out (residual length less than 5 cm), the warranty for the tank is void.

To replace the magnesium anode, remove the heating element flange, unscrew the old magnesium anode and screw in the new one.

Following the rules of regular maintenance will allow you to ensure a long service life of the water heater.

When the bipolar protective device trips

In the event of water overheating, a thermal fuse (according to C.E.I. regulations) breaks the electrical circuit on both sides of the heating element. In this case, determine the cause of overheating and reset the thermostat manually by pressing the reset button located on the thermostat (or, in case of a malfunction, replace the thermostat).

Before calling the master on the first suspicion of a malfunction, first check if the reason for the failure is the lack of light or water.
If hot water does not flow from the taps, first check that the water and electrical connections meet the requirements set out in the relevant sections of this manual. Check up reliability of contacts between plugs and corresponding clips of the thermostat. If everything is in order, then the two-pole protective device (see previous section) may have tripped, or the circuit breaker, or burned out heating element.
Before carrying out any maintenance, repair or cleaning operations, disconnect the heater from the mains electricity and water supply.
If the indicator lamp does not turn on, and the device heats the water, check the bulb.
If the safety valve is equipped with a handle for draining water from the water heater, it is recommended to flush the safety valve at least once a month to avoid clogging. To do this, lift the handle several times.
It is not recommended to descale inner surface tank, because the scale layer is an additional protection of the tank against corrosion.
When connecting to a water supply system, direct contact between two different metals should be avoided (for example, when using copper pipes). For this purpose use connecting dielectric adapters which can be purchased from an authorized service center.

Thermoelectric Models

(for models with a capacity of 50 to 300 liters inclusive)

An additional operation for this type of water heaters is to connect them to the central heating network.

Connect the top outlet of the water heater to the upstream circuit of the central heating system and the bottom outlet to the downstream circuit using 2 valves.

Consider the basic rules of how to use the Ariston water heater. Each device comes with a user manual, but often everything is written there in obscure technical terms.

Inclusion

If you are turning on the boiler for the first time, you should do the following:

After that, it remains to wait until the liquid heats up and start using hot water. For convenience, you can mix cold tap water with warm water from the boiler to achieve the desired temperature.

Water heating

Depending on the volume of the tank, the time of the first heating will differ. It takes about an hour to heat 30 liters of water to 65 degrees, 50 liters two hours, and 80 liters three hours. Also, the time depends on the heat of the incoming water and the power of the apparatus. In winter, the water comes in cold and it will take longer to warm up.

Boilers with more powerful heating elements spend less time and more electricity on primary heating. For example, Ariston Platinum SI 80 H with a volume of 80 liters and a heating element of 1.5 kW heats water from 20 to 65 degrees in 3 hours and 6 minutes.

For two people, a volume of 30 liters is enough, fifty is enough for a family of 3 people. An eighty-liter model should be enough for 4-5 people living in the room where the water heater is installed. Also, the consumption largely depends on the habits and purposes of using hot water.

Use of shower and bath

If you plan to take a bath, you should take a larger volume of the tank. For these purposes, Ariston TI TRONIC INDUSTRIAL for 300 hp is well suited. To make sure there is enough water, set the thermostat to a higher temperature. This will allow you to dilute the hot water more strongly and due to this one tank can be enough for several people.

When using the shower, initially spend less water. At the same time, you can save even more by turning off the faucet from time to time, using water only to wash off the soap.

Do-it-yourself Ariston boiler repair instructions:

The firm "Ariston" specializes in the production of water heating equipment. Water heater "Ariston" 80 liters (instruction attached to the device), as well as other models of devices are widely known to the inhabitants of our country. Each new model has a more stylish design and is produced using the latest technology.

Figure 1. Ariston water heater for 80 liters

Characteristics of water heaters

All models of water heaters of the company have a very long service life. This effect is achieved by coating the inner walls of the device. modern materials which protect the boiler from rust. Cold and hot water do not mix inside, so it is possible to constantly maintain the temperature of the liquid inside the unit. Built-in temperature sensors are designed to protect Ariston from overheating. At the moment of a sharp change in the mains voltage, a protective device is activated and disconnects the boiler from the network. A special thermal insulation layer that keeps the water hot saves electricity or gas.

Some models of heaters have protection against bacteria. Water in such devices is always clean. Sometimes it happens that there is no water in the plumbing system. In this case, the device cannot turn on. Again, a special protection system will not allow him to do this. Almost all models of the company, including Ariston 80, 100, 30 liters, are equipped with the functions listed above. Main differences different models consists only in the external design of the devices. The body can be flat, round, horizontal, vertical. Any of them fits perfectly into the interior of the room (Fig. No. 1). Internally, their device is exactly the same (Fig. No. 2):

A boiler is a tank for cold water. Outside, it is closed by an outer casing. The water entering the tank is heated by a built-in heating element. Sometimes there are 2 heating elements. This is if electric water heater. Between the boiler and the outer casing there is a layer of thermal insulation. In general, the design resembles a thermos device. The water in it retains its temperature for a long time. It comes out through the outlet tube. Ariston 80 also has a magnesium anode. It is installed to prevent deposits of mineral salts on the inner walls of the tank. It should be changed as needed. You can see this when cleaning the heating elements (Fig. No. 4).

When the water is heated to the set temperature, the thermostat disconnects the device from the network. The operation of the unit is monitored using an indicator light. The built-in thermometer allows you to monitor changes in water temperature. This is how the Ariston 80, 50 liter, 100 liter and other models are arranged. Their operating instructions are the same for any model. Each instrument is supplied with an instruction manual. It must be carefully studied, then the device will work for many years.

Purpose of water heaters

Installing a boiler in the house is carried out to provide the home with hot water. The heater can be selected in 100 liters, 80 or smaller sizes. All Ariston models have the same internal structure, therefore, the water heater connection diagram is the same for this series of devices. It is better to invite a specialist to install the device. If you decide to do it yourself, the work should be done according to the plan:

inspect the device from the outside;
prepare fasteners;
check grounding;
place the outlet correctly.

When inspecting the device, it is necessary to check the safety valve well. It should not have visible flaws. If they are found, the valve must be replaced. As fasteners, it is recommended to use plastic dowels and self-tapping screws for them. You need to connect a heater for 100 liters or any other to a separate power line. The outlet must be located in a dry place. The use of extension cords is prohibited.

Properly installed storage boilers run immediately after they are connected to the network. This is indicated by the illuminated indicators. The temperature of the water inside the device is also shown by thermometers.

Conclusion on the topic

There are many systems for providing hot water to private houses and country houses.

The most famous high quality devices are produced by Ariston.

There are many models, but they all have the same internal structure. Instructions for use of these devices is also the same for all brands. Storage devices for heating water differ only in external outlines. All characteristics of different models are also the same. Only the 80 liter model can still use the antibacterial function. To activate it, you just need to press the "power" button and hold it in this position for 5 seconds. The water temperature can be set between 30-75 °C.

Each time you turn it on, you need to control the water level in the boiler. When turning off the boiler for a long time, you need to drain all the water from it. Each device comes with a 1 to 2 year warranty. Repairs are made in almost every city with a warranty card.

When the boiler is turned on only when necessary, some nuances of its operation are often forgotten. With a standard heater connection scheme, you must follow the entire procedure so that the device works without interruption and lasts a long time.

The principle of operation of any boiler is simple: cold water passes into the tank, it heats up there, and hot water comes out. For the most part, heaters have the same components, which are:

internal tank. It is made of anti-corrosion steel, which prolongs the life of the water heater and protects the internal elements from damage;
a heating element;
RCD (residual current device), which protects against voltage drops and overheating.

The device may only be installed by qualified personnel. Before installing the tank, it is necessary to check the serviceability of the electrical wiring. Specialists must make sure that the voltage in the network corresponds to the permissible voltage for the tank, specified in the instructions for use of the device. The use of adapters or extensions is excluded. In the same electrical line connection of additional electrical appliances is not allowed. The outlet must be dry and away from water sources. If the power cord becomes damaged over time, it can only be replaced by a specialist.

So, the tank is already connected, how now to turn on the Ariston water heater ?. Instructions for use will help you connect the heater.

First you need to turn off the hot water supply in the apartment. Otherwise, the contents of the boiler will flow into the riser. Despite the presence check valve, turn off the water.

Open the faucet, wait until the water has completely drained. When the liquid stops flowing, close the valve.

Cold water and heated water enter the boiler and back through two pipes. On the tank, they are marked with a blue and red label, respectively. These mixers on both pipes need to be opened. First turn on cold water, then hot. If you forget to turn on the hot water faucet, it will flow through the riser to the whole house.

When the air comes out of the device, and the liquid flows in an even stream, the boiler can be connected to the power supply and the desired program can be selected. Do not block the cold water pipe, the supply to the boiler is regulated automatically.

After five minutes, check the water in the tap, its temperature should increase. If so, then you did everything right.

There are also compact water heaters. Mounting such devices will not be difficult. They are installed in place of the old crane. After installation, the tank must be connected to a pipe through which cold water flows. Then turn off the hot water faucet and plug the appliance into the outlet. Turn on the water and you're done. To install such heaters, it is still better to contact specialists.

Any heating tank must be connected to a separate outlet, which is removed from sources of moisture.

When the boiler is finished using, it must be turned off. How to do it? Unplug the cord from the tank. Wait for the water in the tank to cool down. Close both taps, one of which supplies water to the tank, and the second releases hot water. After that, open the hot water riser.

If the boiler is used from time to time, then it is not necessary to drain the water from it. Water contributes to the fact that the parts in the device are less corroded. Drain the water just before using it again. When you do this, rinse, dial clean.

If a situation arises when the boiler needs to be emptied of liquid, then this can be done using the check valve installed on the device.

Be careful! When the tank is empty, its inclusion is strictly prohibited!

water heats up noticeably longer;
hissing is heard during operation of the device;
the heater turns on and off more often.

With proper operation and timely care, the unit will last a long time, since Ariston uses only original spare parts for its devices. Heating elements are made of high-quality copper, a special system protects the device from overheating and freezing. Models are characterized by a flat shape, easy installation. Tanks are produced in volumes of 30, 50, 80 and 100 liters. The devices have a water purification system from bacteria. The displays are functional and easy to use.
