Review of the best AEG water heaters of 2020

Water heating tanks are excellent helpers in case of problems with hot water supply or even in its absence. Also, water heaters are irreplaceable in summer cottages. When buying a tank, you have to choose: type, method of heating and installation, power, volume, material, method of water supply, control, security level, as well as additional functions and settings.

It will be extremely difficult for a person who does not understand water heating devices not to make mistakes when choosing. A review of the best AEG water heaters will help in choosing, tell you what to look for and guide you on the price.

Selection criteria: how to choose the right hot water tank?

1. Which one is better to buy? It should be noted that not always the best manufacturers, for example, of washing machines, create the best and highest quality water heaters. Therefore, before deciding which company is the best device to buy, you need to consult with a professional, read reviews and carefully study the product description.
2. How much does a quality tank cost? You should not buy inexpensive devices, as in the end, due to the short service life, you will have to purchase a new tank or spend money on repairs, which will ultimately lead to high costs.
   But expensive models should be treated with great attention. After all, the cost does not always depend on the quality. For example, popular models may have a high cost, but their popularity will be so high not because of the high quality of the device, but because of well-thought-out advertising. But with the right approach to the choice, as described above, there is no reason to be afraid to make a mistake in the choice.
   Therefore, it is better to pay attention to a product with an average price, which will ensure quality, and at the same time, the company will not spend money on excessive advertising of its product.

Type of water heater

There are 3 types of water heaters: storage, flow and bulk.

1. Cumulative type is a tank that has a different volume and is capable of maintaining a high temperature for a long period.

The storage tank is the best option according to professionals and buyers. This type of water heater will be an excellent assistant with the following selection criteria:

• have access to hot water at several points of the water supply;
• the ability of the device to work well with low water pressure;
• range of water heating from low to high temperature;
• maintain a high temperature for a long time;
• spend a minimum amount of electricity.

2. Flowing type is a tube with an electric heater inside, through which water flows.

If there is no need to heat water to a high temperature, access to hot water at several points of the water supply, then a flow tank will be the best option.

Instantaneous water heaters can be:

• pressure, involves connecting directly to the water supply. This is the optimal principle of operation, since water can be supplied to several points of draw-off;
• unpressurized, has an indirect connection to the water supply. For this, additional devices are used in the form of devices that are equipped with flowing and storage tanks. This principle of operation involves the supply of water to only one point of draw-off.

3. Bulk type Is a container into which you need to pour water manually. Water heating is carried out thanks to the built-in heating element.

Water heating methods

There are 4 heating methods:

• gas - heating occurs from the gas supply;
• electric - this is the classic way of heating from the network;
• indirect - heating comes from heat taken from another source;
• combined - includes electric and indirect heating.

Tank control method

There are electronic and mechanical controls.

By giving preference mechanical method, which is carried out by scrolling the adjustment knob, you get simplicity and ease of operation.

Device with electronic control provides a wide range of management functionality.

Installation and connection method

Fastening is done in 3 ways: vertical, horizontal and floor.

1. Vertical installation assumes mounting the device in an upright position. This is the best installation method since the vertical position of the tank does not reduce the water temperature.
2. AND horizontal installation, in turn, due to the large area, mixes cold and hot water, thereby lowering its temperature.
3. Outdoor way suitable for large water heaters, since another installation simply will not support a lot of weight.

The inlet can be located on the side, top and bottom - depending on the size, shape and installation method of the water heater.

Heating element power

The time spent on heating water directly depends on the power of the heating element.

If a standard power of 1.5 or 2 kW is sufficient for the storage tank, then flow-through devices require from 3.5 to 30 kW.

It is worth considering that by choosing a storage tank with a capacity of up to 8 kW, you will get 3-4 liters of hot water in 1 minute. This is just enough for taking a shower.

Also an important component is wiring. For devices with a power of more than 5 kW, a separate cable led to the panel with a fuse is required.

Which heating element is better?

There are 4 types of heating elements:

1. Spiral heater, not strong, but high efficiency and corrosion resistance.
2. Heat exchanger, this type is rarely used, in water heaters with gas and indirect heating.
3. "Wet" heating element, not protected from corrosion, heats water slowly and is not efficient enough. But in the presence of a magnesium anode and its replacement, it is capable of long service.
4. "Sukhoi" heating element, does not have direct contact with water, as it is protected by a special flask. This reduces the risk of lime scale or corrosion and also allows the water to heat up quickly. The only drawback of dry heating elements is the high price.
