How to light an Ariston gas water heater: switching features and safety precautions for use

Instructions: how to turn on the gas water heater (video)

Today many people use gas water heaters.
They ensure the availability of hot water even when it is turned off. But many consumers have a preconception that geysers pose a great danger. Modern geysers debunk this myth. If you ignite the column correctly, it will work properly and completely safely. Gas water heaters Vaillant, Junkers, Bosch, Ariston have good reviews. If you took care of the arrangement of your country house in advance and installed a gas water heater, you have the last step left on the path to a warm and cozy life. And this step is setting up and correctly turning on the column. In order for the gas water heater to work, you will have to do a few simple steps. First, make sure that the gas valve that supplies gas to the column is open. Then open the tap responsible for supplying water to the tank of the water heating unit. Switching on or ignition can be done in only three ways, which depend on the design features of the column.

Modern gas boilers are absolutely safe, unlike their early predecessors. Most of the key processes associated with their correct operation are simplified and do not require additional training from the user. But despite this, do not forget that any gas apparatus is a source of potential danger.

Let's look at the example of Bosch gas instantaneous water heaters WR10.B, WR13.B, WR15.B, manufactured in Germany, for the markets of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. These models differ in the amount of heated water.

Before starting, check that the gas and water valves are open and that two 1.5 V type R batteries are inserted. These heater models are equipped with electric ignition, as indicated by the B index at the end of the name. Electric ignition occurs using batteries.

To turn on the device, you need to press the power button on the front panel of the device; the speaker is ready for operation and is in standby mode. In order for heated water to flow, you just need to open the tap. At this point the pilot flame ignites and four seconds later the main flame ignites, so the pilot flame goes out after approximately twenty seconds.

These devices do not have a constantly burning wick, which is economical since there is no constant gas consumption. If there is a long break in operation, air may accumulate in the gas system, which will prevent the igniter from working properly and, as a result, the main burner will not be able to ignite.

To fix this problem, you need to open and close the hot water tap several times. Adjustment of water heating occurs by reducing its flow; by turning the valve clockwise, it decreases; counterclockwise, respectively, vice versa, the flow increases and the temperature decreases. At a low water temperature, gas costs are reduced and less scale is formed in the heat exchanger.

In the video, in addition to the startup procedure, you can also learn about setting up the speaker:

Owner reviews

Model SUPERLUX DGI 10L, Ivan, Astrakhan: “This is an easy-to-use and simple device. When servicing one mixer, the column works fine, but when connecting a second one, the water cools down. Spare parts are very expensive, so if there is a serious breakdown, it’s easier to buy a new device.”

Model SGA 100, Svetlana, Kholmogory: “The heater operates very quietly and does not create any noise. The water arrives at an even temperature, with absolutely no changes. With the installation of this unit, it is easy to forget that the house does not have a central supply of hot water. The downside is the additional costs: for installation and installation we had to spend an amount equal to the cost of the boiler.”

Important! The main advantage of Ariston columns is the stably maintained water temperature.

Owners of this equipment say that it is worth buying such units, but it is better to opt for a more expensive model. In this case, the risk of serious damage is much less.

Preparing for work

If you need to start a gas water heater for the first time or after a long period of inactivity, you must follow some rules.

Providing ventilation

It is necessary to ensure a constant flow of fresh air. This is necessary both for normal combustion and for removing carbon monoxide residues from the room. Usually there is a gap of several centimeters under the kitchen door just for ventilation. For safety reasons, eliminating this gap is not recommended. This is especially true for those houses where modern sealed windows without a supply valve are installed.

If the speaker is in the bathroom, the door to it cannot be closed completely. It should be left ajar at least 3-5 cm for air circulation. You can use a child door lock.

Checking traction

It is necessary to check the quality of draft in the chimney. It is needed to remove combustion products (gases) from the kitchen. This is easy to do: a thin strip of paper or a napkin must be brought to the chimney outlet window. If the draft is good, the paper will deviate towards the hood.

The flame deviated towards the chimney - this means there is good draft

Lack of traction is a problem that needs to be solved. It is necessary to check whether the passage is blocked. To do this you will have to look into the inspection hatch. It is located in the chimney of the column to the point of its connection with the common house. Many, unfortunately, close the hatch for decorative purposes. There is no other way to check and clean the chimney, so the hatch must be opened.

Most often, the problem is solved immediately: all the dirt, clouds of dust, fragments of bricks that have fallen from the chimney masonry accumulate in this very place. Next, using a mirror or a phone with a camera and a flashlight, you need to check if there are any blockages higher up the pipe.

Sometimes the following situation occurs: the passage is clear, but there is no traction. It could be an air lock. A certain amount of cold air accumulated below and clogged the pipe. We need to warm up the air. To do this, you can burn something right in the hatch or warm this place with a lighter (tourist match).

Checking for gas leaks

With the column turned off, unscrew (open) the tap on the gas pipe. There should be no smell of gas either from the device or from any connection. To be on the safe side, you can go over the taps and junctions with soapy water. If there is a leak, the foam will begin to bubble actively. If a problem is identified, you must contact the gas service to solve it.

If soap suds bubble, there is a gas leak.

Checking traction

Due to the fact that gas water heaters have an open combustion chamber, special attention is paid to draft to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning or create a dangerous emergency situation

To do this, it is important to correctly install the chimney and regularly check the presence and quality of draft

Modern models of gas water heaters are equipped with sensors that, in the absence or low draft, simply will not allow the equipment to start. But in order to turn on an old gas water heater, you will probably have to make sure that there is draft, since such sensors have not yet been provided in it.

To correctly measure the presence of air flow, it is necessary to use special instruments. But you can do this without any special tools:

1. At the point where the hood enters the ventilation shaft, it is necessary to remove a section of the exhaust pipe. The paper cut into strips is fixed in place of the hole. And based on their movement, the quality of traction is checked.
2. A lit match is placed in the viewing window of the column. If the flame deviates, this indicates the presence of air flow.

Features of operation

There are a number of provisions and rules according to which the use of gas equipment is permitted. Let's consider the basic requirements for open-type speakers:

• Do not start work in the absence of draft in the chimney or in the presence of reverse draft;
• It is not allowed to turn on and ignite without studying the operating instructions;
• For normal operation, natural ventilation is necessary (window, vent);
• It is prohibited to independently change the design of the equipment.

Dispensers with an open combustion chamber are most at risk of gas leakage. If you smell it, then:

• Close the valve;
• Open the windows and ventilate the room;
• Do not light a fire until the room is completely ventilated;
• Contact the repair service.

Before starting the appliance, check the presence of draft in the chimney.

How to properly check

There are two “folk” ways of checking:

1. Take a piece of paper and hold it near the chimney or ventilation. If the leaf tightens, it means the shaft is working properly. If it falls, you need to clean the hole.
2. Light a match and bring it to the viewing window. Does the flame deviate to the side? Then you can start the column. If it burns smoothly, check the chimney.

It also happens that everything is in order with the mine, but there is no traction. The room may not be ventilated, so there is no air flow for combustion.

How to turn on the water heater

Before turning on any equipment, there must be water in the heat exchanger. Therefore, you should first open the water valve.

Electric models:

• Insert batteries into the battery compartment;
• In some cases, you need to turn the power or temperature switch;
• Open the gas valve;
• Turn on the mixer on the hot position, which will ignite.

Semi-automatic devices:

• Start the fuel supply;
• Set the power and hold the piezo ignition button until the wick ignites;
• When you turn on the water, the burner will light up.

It is not difficult to launch modern technology. What about an old-style product?

Ignition of an obsolete type column

A device with manual ignition is considered obsolete. The design provides for constant burning of the wick and manual shutdown. Ignition occurs from a burning match, less often - using piezo ignition. These include: “Iskra KGI-56”, series L, GVA, VPG. They are equipped with a turn signal or lever to regulate the temperature.

The operating principle is the same as that of modern models. The only difference is in the features of turning on the heating. If this is your first time launching, then you should know that:

There must be a constant flow of air in the room with the column

This is important to keep the flame burning. Therefore, in kitchen doors there is a gap of 5 cm at the bottom

If plastic windows are installed, a ventilation valve is required; It is necessary to regularly check for traction; Check the condition of the gas valve. Open it and coat the joints with soapy water. If bubbles appear, there is a leak.

For ignition, it is more convenient to use long matches that can easily reach the igniter.

Launch of KGI-56

Turn the fuel and water valves. Now turn the left control all the way to the left. Hold down the solenoid valve button if the product has one. Continuing to press the button, ignite the igniter with a match. After that:

• Open the hot water faucet;
• To light the burner, turn the other knob to the left.

Done, you can go take a shower.

Switching on devices of type L, GVA, VPG

Start as with other types by supplying gas and water. Move the knob on the panel to the first position. Press the valve release button and hold a match to the igniter. Hold the button for another 10 seconds. Just as in the first case, turn on the tap and quickly turn the regulator to the maximum level. After ignition, you can start using it.

You can turn off the equipment by turning the lever until the wick goes out. It is advisable to do this at night and before leaving home.

Use your water heater correctly for long service life and your own safety. Once a year, carry out preventive inspections of the product, clean the parts from scale.

Ignition features: how to turn on the Ariston column

A geyser is a typical analogue of a water heater. The water is instantly heated using a flow-through water heater. The column allows you to use hot water constantly.

It is very simple to ignite the Ariston column, since it can have piezo and electronic ignition, which requires the user to simply open the tap. The device needs to be turned on only after it is installed. After this, the column will work smoothly.

Features of Ariston speakers:

• Compactness;
• Stylish and compact design;
• Available in different colors;
• Automated.

Interestingly, many modern geysers can be powered by batteries

When choosing a column, you need to pay attention to its ignition methods and installation options. In any case, for safety reasons, the old gas water heater should be replaced with a new and modern one.

Therm 4000 S WTD 12/15/18 AM E23/31.

You can find out complete information on the selection, operation and maintenance of gas water heaters (instantaneous water heaters) from all manufacturers if you go.

In addition to specific information on the site, you can also study specific problems from other people on this topic who have already purchased a gas water heater or instantaneous water heater and thus avoid them. You will find a regularly updated list of such problems and their solutions.

Before starting, you must make sure that, on the plate installed on the device by the manufacturer, the gas marking corresponds to the gas connected to the device. The device has the ability to connect a remote control panel, which completely duplicates the operation of the display on the column.

Open the gas valve and water valves. Connect the device to the power supply.

The water temperature set by the manufacturer is 42 degrees, this is the optimal temperature.

To turn on the device, you just need to press the turn on button and open the hot water tap. To regulate the temperature, you need to press the “+” or “-” button and select the temperature you need. Until your selected temperature is reached, the display will flash.

If it does not reach this value within thirty seconds, a water tap icon is displayed on the monitor, which indicates the need to increase or decrease water flow. If you press the P button, the programmed constant temperature of 42 degrees will appear. Setting the minimum temperature reduces energy consumption and makes it possible to reduce the formation of limescale in the heat exchanger.

How to turn on a gas water heater: basic rules for using the unit

The use of flow-through gas columns has certain features.

Therefore, for trouble-free service of such a device, it is worth following the rules for its use. Security also depends on this.

Basic Rules

First of all, you need to remember that any devices that use gas have an increased level of danger.

The same applies to the operation of geysers. Therefore, they are subject to handling rules similar to other household gas appliances.

So, if you suddenly smell gas:

It is important to know: only certified specialists can install, connect or move a gas water heater, in accordance with the design documentation approved by the gas industry. Most often, a user manual comes with the device itself. So, if you have an open type geyser installed, then:

So, if you have an open type geyser installed, then:

Most often, a user manual comes with the device itself. So, if you have an open type geyser installed, then:

1. You cannot light a fire in the burner or use it if there is backdraft in the chimney or if there is no backdraft at all.
2. Without first studying the instructions, it is prohibited to use the “scientific poke” method to turn on the device or ignite the gas.
3. There must be a constant flow of air in the room where such a unit was installed.
4. It is strictly forbidden to make any changes to the design of the gas water heater.
5. To prevent burns, you should avoid touching the parts of the front panel located next to the inspection slot, as well as the chimney elements.

Please note: it is better to turn on an open-type gas water heater at low heating power and not use mixers to produce hot water. The reason is that in the case of strong heating of the heat exchanger, an intensive process of salt deposition occurs.

In this case, we are talking about options for geysers that have an open combustion chamber.

It is also worth noting that modern versions of atmospheric speakers often already have automatic safety systems (most Astra, Bosh and Vaillant models). They prevent the column from starting if there is no traction, and will also turn it off if it disappears during operation.

However, you should not rely on the fact that automation will give you a 100% guarantee of safety. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to check traction yourself. For this purpose, professionals use special measuring devices that evaluate the presence and strength of air movement (draft).

Good to know: quite common situations when the chimney works properly, but there is no draft. This may occur due to the fact that there is no air flow into the room, which is why there is no draft (air movement). To check this, you can close the windows and doors during normal operation of the chimney and check the draft.

First of all, it should be noted that device variants that have a closed chamber or an automatic ignition system are very easy to start.

The situation is different with models that have an open chamber. The reason is that in order to properly ignite the column, you first need to turn on the igniter.

To do this, open the gas valve and press the manual piezo ignition button, after which the wick is ignited. Then, using the regulator, the required temperature level is set.

Please note: when starting any model, there must be water in the heat exchanger. Therefore, you must remember to turn on the water before starting the column. If you have a device with an automatic ignition system, the actions should be as follows:

If you have a device with an automatic ignition system, the actions should be as follows:

1. First you need to insert batteries into the compartment.
2. After this, open the gas tap.
3. Now the hot tap opens, due to which the burner itself will ignite. In this case, the intermediary will be the igniter, which is turned on exclusively for the duration of the gas burner startup.

There are cases when, after the first start-up or a long break in operation, a so-called air lock may form in the gas turbine. It can be eliminated without any problems by performing the ignition procedure several times in a row.

Using modern geysers is, by and large, not difficult. The most important thing is to always follow all the safety rules specified here, and also not to allow the heat exchanger to heat up excessively.

Watch detailed video instructions on how to properly light an open-type gas water heater:

Setting up the device when connecting for the first time

When you turn on the Ariston household gas water heater for the first time, it must be configured accordingly. All issues related to the installation of the device are described in detail in the operating instructions.

The manual includes explanations on how to connect the device to the water supply, turn it on and light the flame. Each action has its own scheme, which must be strictly adhered to in order to avoid problems when using a instantaneous gas water heater.

The Ariston gas boiler is a reliable unit that, if properly installed, connected and operated, will provide you with hot water at any time of the year.

Correct setting is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. Adjusting the water flow - at this stage the water flow should be adjusted; it should be made minimal (the optimal value is 6, 10 or 12 liters). If this step is not completed at the very beginning, then the entire installation will be inaccurate.
2. Adjusting the water temperature - the mixer supplying hot water must be turned/opened to full power. Moreover, it is only allowed to turn on one valve/open one tap in the entire room. Next, the water temperature is adjusted, after which the tap is closed.
3. Adjusting the gas supply - for this you need to clarify the minimum parameter of the unit (you can find it in the data sheet of the Ariston dispenser). To regulate the gas supply, the toggle switch returns to minimum and the gas supply valve opens.
4. The next step is to open the hot valve. After this, the water heater immediately starts working - experts recommend waiting for the pressure in the line to drop before starting installation, and then turning the gas regulator to the minimum value until the optimal temperature is reached.
5. The final stage is adjusting the hot flow. First you need to open the mixer and evaluate the heating temperature of the flow, which should be 25 degrees higher than at the outlet. Since the gas boiler heater heats the water gradually, you need to wait.

Experts recommend not increasing the temperature of hot water above 55 degrees, since in this case scale deposits will begin in the heat exchanger, which can negatively affect the operation of the device. And over time the column will need to be cleaned.

How to use an Ariston gas water heater

The operating instructions provide detailed recommendations from Ariston regarding: Careful adherence to the described rules increases the life of the gas boiler. Application of the recommendations is a prerequisite for placing an Ariston gas water heater under warranty service.

How to install a speaker from Ariston

The connection is made in accordance with the current SNiP and PPB. No operating permit is required. When completing a gas supply project, it is enough to provide the number and model of the boiler. Connecting the column and storage tank must meet several requirements:

• For the room used as a boiler room - the ceiling height is at least 2.2 m; total area from 9 m². It is necessary to have a vent or an opening window, natural supply and exhaust ventilation.
• Wiring diagram - the basic connection plan is given in the technical documentation. Before the column, cut-off valves are installed on the supply and return pipelines. A water filtration system is required.
• Fire requirements for installation - the Ariston boiler is hung on a wall made of non-flammable solid material. Wooden surfaces are protected with basalt wool and asbestos or galvanized sheets. When the pipeline passes through the ceilings and roofing pie, fire breaks are provided.

How to set up an Ariston column

Ariston water heating equipment has simple controls. In columns with a modulating burner, the water temperature is set. After this, the column and storage tank will independently change the heating intensity, depending on the pressure in the pipeline and the number of simultaneously open water consumption points. Adjustment of the gas column with a conventional classic device is carried out using two mechanical regulators located on the front part of the casing. The left handle regulates the intensity of gas combustion, the right handle regulates the flow rate. The display shows the water temperature. Using regulators, the heating is adjusted so that there is no need to add cold water when washing. Ariston dispensers have the ability to switch to liquefied gas. During the conversion, the nozzles are replaced and the water heater is switched to propane.

How to turn on the Ariston speaker

Mains-powered water heaters are pre-connected to an outlet. To start the semi-automatic model, the fuse is lit. To start the Ariston column, just open the hot water tap. The main burner will automatically ignite. After closing the water supply tap, the column will turn off. The first start-up of a flow-through boiler takes place in the presence of a Gas Service inspector. A mark indicating commissioning is placed in the technical passport. From this moment on, the equipment is under warranty.

How to change batteries in an Ariston speaker

Batteries have to be changed every 4-6 months. The batteries are replaced as follows: After closing the lid, the batteries bring the water heater into working condition. For convenience, batteries can be used instead of conventional batteries.

How to clean an Ariston column

The water heater is serviced every 2-3 years. The heat exchanger of the Ariston column is washed to remove scale and soot from the radiator fins. Cleaning is carried out as follows: How to clean a gas water heater yourself at home At home, you can wash the heat exchanger using improvised means: acetic or citric acid. Reviews of Ariston gas water heating equipment allow us to identify several advantages and disadvantages of the product:

• Pros - there are service centers in all major cities of the Russian Federation. Dispensers and storage tanks in domestic operating conditions last at least 8 years.
• Disadvantages - spare parts are not freely available; they can only be ordered through official representative offices of the company. The flow sensor often fails. If the settings are incorrect, the batteries only last 2 months.

Equipment from the Italian manufacturer Ariston has long been recognized by consumers due to the high-quality assembly of devices and their long service life. It should also be noted that the devices are affordable, which is ensured by their assembly in China. The productive geyser Ariston is developed using a special technology, thanks to which it is fully adapted to Russian conditions, in particular, operation at low water pressure levels, voltage drops in the network, etc.

Ariston geysers are distinguished by their compact size, traditional style and simple design features. In the manufacturing process of the units, European technology is used, ensuring a high level of safety of the devices. These qualities are manifested in full compliance with the operating rules recommended by the manufacturer.

All modifications presented on the official website are equipped with several security systems:

• fuel control;
• temperature monitoring device;
• overheat protection;
• traction device.

These elements provide the maximum level of safety for the use of Ariston geysers in emergency situations in a centralized water supply and gas supply system.

The equipment is supplied from the Ariston factory with test settings for the main functions, which are based on standard operating modes. Therefore, before commissioning, the gas water heater must be configured taking into account the recommendations specified in the operating instructions. This is necessary to ensure that the unit functions properly in the event of insufficient gas pressure or surges in water pressure.

Before starting, it is necessary to correctly adjust the unit, only in this way can it ensure an uninterrupted supply of hot water.

Therefore, if you are unsure of your capabilities, it is better to contact a specialist from the service center.

VIDEO: Rules for installing geysers

Based on the statistics of user reviews, a list of pros and cons of Ariston gas water heaters has been created. The advantages include the following:

• water heaters can be adjusted depending on different operating conditions;
• during operation, the device does not make loud noise; even during ignition, the characteristic sound is reproduced at a minimum volume;
• high-quality assembly is ensured through the use of modern technologies taking into account European standards;
• all units have a classic, attractive design that harmonizes perfectly with any interior style;
• Thanks to the copper heat exchanger, the device’s lifespan reaches 10-13 years.

Gas water heater design

Despite the fairly great popularity of the company, Ariston brand equipment also has negative aspects:

• with a sharp decrease in water pressure, an emergency shutdown of the gas water heater occurs, which is considered a big disadvantage for residents of multi-story buildings;
• if functioning components break down, it will be easier to purchase a new column than to buy spare parts at a high price, since parts for devices from this company are very expensive;
• distrust is caused by the long service life of components, since the equipment is assembled in China.

In the process of choosing the most optimal option, you should be guided by personal preferences and criteria for technical characteristics, and also take into account the purchase budget. When buying budget versions under 10,000 rubles, you should not count on the durability of the equipment. The fact is that protective systems and individual safety units are installed in units from a higher price range.

Rating of the best models of Ariston geysers

There are several gas water heaters that have become very popular among Russian consumers. From the entire model range, users highlight the following devices.

Ariston fast Evo

The version has a power of 19 and 24 kW. At this indicator, it produces 11-14 l/min. hot water. This model belongs to a series of automatic geysers equipped with electric ignition and two batteries, from which the igniter receives the voltage for the spark.

FAST EVO ONT B 11 NG

The Ariston fast Evo geyser is equipped with a flame modulation device. This element helps maintain the temperature of the outlet water, even when the pressure in the water supply system changes. The control panel has a temperature regulator that allows you to set the desired heating mode. The maximum temperature is 60°C.

Models with the “C” prefix have a digital LCD screen, which displays all the necessary information about the selected program. But here it should be taken into account that the temperature indicators displayed on the display determine the value of the installed program, and not the water produced.

Also, if a problem is detected or the wrong mode is set, the corresponding error code will be displayed on the screen. You can decipher the symbolism using the operating instructions.

If the column stops working, first make sure that all communications are connected correctly and there is enough pressure in the system (all this is indicated in the instructions). Often, users invite specialists, pay for expensive calls, but in reality there is no problem - just open the instructions and read it carefully. But malfunctions still occur. We will describe them and give ways to eliminate them.

1. When the tap is opened, the appliance does not start.

The reason may be:

• insufficient water pressure;
• membrane wear;
• discharged electric ignition batteries;
• failure of the control unit;
• servomotor failure.

1. Overheat shut-off mechanism is triggered

The reason, most likely, lies in low water pressure or in its retention in the heat exchanger - the ducts are clogged, which is why water cannot pass from the column to the water distribution point. You must immediately clean all connecting nodes. A large layer of scale, which is regularly removed, will also hold back the pressure.

1. The water does not heat up to the set temperature. If the pressure is good, but the temperature is insufficient, and the flame protrudes beyond the radiator, the reason is the heat exchanger clogged with soot.

If the flame is small, blue, the water is hot at first, and then gets colder, you need to change the membrane.

1. If the column turns on, works stably, and after a few minutes goes out, and this repeats constantly, the problem is a clogged or improperly vented chimney.

When it goes out immediately after turning on, the reason may lie in a breakdown of the ionization sensor or dead batteries.

1. Mini-explosion when turned on - strong bang

This happens because gas is pre-filled into the chamber, and it detonates when turned on. The reason may be a servomotor failure, a broken solenoid valve, or contamination of the igniter if the column has an ignition wick.

VIDEO: Chimney error - how to fix it

All of the above modifications were selected based on feedback from customers and specialists from repair services. Each option has a high degree of reliability, safety and is approximately in the same price range.

Since geysers have a large number of advantages, we can safely say that they all function well if installed and used correctly. Most of the problems that owners point out can be corrected by simply replacing the batteries or cleaning the chimney duct.

If the device is used in a region with hard water, an additional filter must be installed. As a result, the user will prevent the rapid formation of a layer of scale, which shortens the service life of the heat exchanger and all equipment.

Connecting a gas water heater to the water supply: organization and documentation

The first thing you will need to do is contact the housing and communal services department and ask for a water, gas and smoke removal plan. If a gas appliance has already been installed in the room, you will still have to obtain a plan to determine exactly where the appliance should be installed.

If you need to connect a gas water heater to the water supply, it is better to seek qualified help from a specialist

Once you receive all these plans, you will need to go to the city gas service with a statement indicating a request to replace the old appliance with a new one. The application must be accompanied by a request for repair or replacement of gas and water pipes. After all replacement and repair work has been completed, the owner must receive a certificate of work performed and the column installed in its place.

A more complex process will be installing a gas appliance in a new location. Such work involves changing the location of all the necessary pipes and, accordingly, the chimney.

In order to carry out this work, the following documents will be required:

• Column installation project;
• Model name and preferably technical data sheet;
• Document on the condition of the chimney;
• A number of documents that confirm ownership of property;
• A statement indicating the request for reorganization;
• Application for construction work.

After all documents have been confirmed and signed, workers will carry out installation work, set up and connect the column. Upon completion and after sealing the meter, you will need to receive a certificate from technical supervision and the fire service, as well as a separate document stating that the device can be used. In the end, you will definitely need to contact the BTI so that they can submit a new design for the premises.

The principle of operation of the technology

It is easier to remember the rules for using the device when you understand its structure. Regardless of the manufacturer, all geysers - Neva, Astra and others - have the same design. Only the location of the nodes can change.

Main nodes:

• Heat exchanger;
• Manifold for gas removal;
• Ignition unit;
• Burner;
• Water and gas fittings.

The column lining is made in the form of a metal casing; in some models it has an inspection window. The panel contains power and temperature regulators. Electronic control is complemented by a display.

Ignition block. Depending on the type of ignition, the product has a piezo ignition button or electronic battery switch.

• Semi-automatic models. Piezo ignition can be triggered in different ways. In some cases, you need to hold the button and press the power control. The wick will burn until you turn off the device yourself. It is recommended to turn off the burner after use or when leaving home. This way you can save gas and extend the life of the device.
• Automatic equipment is more expensive, but is economical to operate. The wick does not burn continuously. The burner lights up only when the mixer is opened and goes out when closed. The electric charge is sent by batteries or a turbine. The batteries need to be changed periodically, and for normal operation of the turbine it is necessary to ensure stable pressure in the line.

Manifold with outlet pipe. Located at the top. Pipes are connected to the pipe to discharge combustion products to the street. In devices with a closed combustion chamber, the manifold is located at the bottom and is equipped with a fan for forced removal of fumes. These are turbocharged models such as “Neva Turbo”, “Neva Lux 8224”, Bosch WTD.

Columns of the Astra and Oasis trademarks are produced only with an open combustion chamber.

The heat exchanger (radiator) is the main part in the water heater. Water flows through its tubes, which is heated by a burner. A high-quality radiator is made from pure copper. If impurities are added to the alloy, the assembly quickly burns out and leaks. Read the article “Heat exchanger for a geyser” to learn more about its design.

The burner is located under the radiator. A reliable housing must be made of steel. The part distributes the flame among the nozzles to uniformly heat the heat exchanger.

The gas unit may be located on top of the water unit (in older models) or to the right of it. Operation is regulated by turning the gas on and off.

The water block is located nearby, thanks to which fuel enters the system. When water is turned on, pressure is created in the system, causing the rubber membrane to bend. It pushes out a rod that turns the fuel valve.

An ignition device is located near the burner. The equipment is also equipped with protection sensors:

• The draft sensor monitors the presence of draft in the system;
• Ionization sensor - control of the presence of flame;
• Thermostat - temperature measurement, protection against overheating above 90 degrees.

When one of the sensors is triggered, the device turns off.

Specifications

The main characteristics of Ariston instantaneous gas water heaters are:

• default backdraft sensors;
• highly functional overheat protection system (automatic);
• system gas control;
• temperature sensors with high sensitivity.

These characteristics give the owner the opportunity not to worry about safety even if the device is not turned off during a long absence. If a dangerous situation arises, the protective system will work automatically.

The main difficulty when using the speaker is the correct initial setting. Each unit has its own preset parameters, which the manufacturer compiles from average characteristics. Individual settings are performed independently. To do this, you should carefully study the instructions.

Note! If you encounter any difficulties, you can contact a specialist. There are many certified service centers for Ariston equipment.

How to ignite the device

Before starting work, you must open the gas and water taps.

There are three ways to light a gas water heater.

Manually

The manual method was used in older models

. In this case, you have to light it with matches. Here it was necessary to perform a number of such preliminary manipulations:

• open the water supply connected to the device;
• open the main valve to allow fuel to flow to the igniter;
• light the wick with matches;
• turn on the valve (main) for gas supply.

Using piezo ignition

We can say that this column is semi-automatic. How to use a gas water heater of this type? All you have to do is press a button

to ignite the wick in the combustion chamber. With the help of mechanical force, the spark is transformed - it is enough to ignite the ignition filter. With this method, a number of mandatory requirements must also be met:

• in order to light the main burner, you will need to turn on the main regulator in the fuel supply;
• The ignition filter will remain lit when the regulator is returned to the main position and the water is turned off.

Automatically

The ability to automatically turn on is provided by fully improved modifications that are easy and safe to use even for beginners. Hydropower system

are offered by most modern manufacturers (Bosch, its direct competitor Electrolux and many others). The process of starting work is simplified to the limit.

1. For example, in the Bosch Therm 6000 O, water pressure drives a turbine. It triggers an automatic igniter system inside the device for both the wick and the main burner.
2. The manufacturer Bosch has the Therm 2000 O and Therm 4000 O lines, which carry out electric ignition from batteries (you will need to monitor their service life).
3. The Bosch AM1E series speakers already have a digital control panel that will immediately show all possible switching errors.

The fully automated process has one drawback: many homes have low pressure in the water supply, and this may not be enough for the turbine to operate properly. In addition, such devices are significantly more expensive than their less advanced counterparts.
