How to disassemble the boiler. Boiler cleaning

If your device began to slowly heat water or stopped heating altogether, the problem may be scale and it's time to clean the heating element or change it (if it burned out). Fortunately, the device of these models easily allows you to get to the heater and other insides of the tank.

Here's how it's done:

Turn off the device from the network (mandatory);
Shut off the water supply;
Drain the water (for this we put a tee with a valve above the valve);
We turn out two screws, remove the protective box;
Unscrew the nut securing the flange with a wrench;
Carefully remove the old heater together with the anode;
We clean the tank, the heating element with the anode from scale (replace if necessary).
We assemble in reverse order. Replace gaskets if needed.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated. We hang the device in place, fill it with water, turn it on, check it.

Blitz Tips

A few tips that will allow you to extend the life of the device while not overpaying for electricity:

Do not unplug the appliance. It takes much less energy to maintain the set temperature than to warm up. This is especially true in winter, when the water temperature is especially low.
If hot water is needed less than once a day, then it is better to turn off the device. In this case, heating will take less energy than maintaining the temperature.
Solid savings are obtained through controllers. The unit can be programmed to heat water at the desired time.
If possible, use the regulator mode marked "E" (Eco).
Don't let the water flow aimlessly. Once again, turning off the tap for a couple of minutes, you will save a lot of energy and money.

By following these simple tips, you will not only extend the life of your boiler, but also significantly save on electricity.

Ariston is the largest manufacturer of household appliances, which began its work in 1975. The president of this organization is the Italian Vittorio Merloni, who is also its founder. In 1980, Ariston became the European leader among manufacturers of household appliances and electronics.

Advantages of water heaters:

Security. Water heaters are adapted to almost any working conditions. They are also equipped with a new security system that prevents emergencies.
Durability. The long service life of the heaters is ensured by the high-quality materials from which they are made. This is mainly stainless steel with protective welds, as well as a steel tank with a titanium coating.
Ease of use. On the front panel of the boiler there is a simple control system with which the desired heating temperature is set. Also, a malfunction indicator is installed in the water heater panel, which gives a certain signal in case of improper operation of the unit (overheating, incorrect thermostat operation, switching on without water, etc.)
Profitability. Ariston water heaters have the lowest energy consumption rates. Average electricity savings are 35%.
Bacteria protection. Very often, water stagnates in heaters, in which bacteria multiply over time. The ECO protection built into the water heater prevents the appearance of bacteria not only on the walls of the device, but also on its internal elements.
High intelligence. The presence of the LCD display makes it possible to set the desired operating mode: day, night and economical.

Device and specifications

An 80-liter Ariston boiler is the most common option for home use. It consists of the following parts: housing, container and heating element (heater).

The inner and outer tanks of the device are separated by a layer of heat-insulating material.Two pipes are connected to the heater, which are designed to supply cold and hot water. Together with the heating element, a magnesium anode is located in the heater, which prevents the deposition of scale in the device. Experts recommend periodically replacing the anode so that the water quality does not deteriorate.

As for the shape of the body, the 80 liter boiler is basically flat. In order to ensure the heating of water to a predetermined temperature, a special thermostat is built into the water heater.

Specifications:

High resistance to corrosion.
Reliable heater insulation.
Overheat protection.
The presence of flashing indicators that indicate the operation of the device.
Adjust the power level of the device.
Maintenance of the set temperature in the automatic mode.

The boiler socket must always be in a dry place.

User manual:

The boiler is supplied with a safety valve, which must always be in good condition. In the event of any chipping or other damage, the valve must be immediately replaced with a new one.
The power socket of the water heater must not have a ground contact, otherwise, in the event of a short circuit, the boiler will burn out.
The use of seals and adapters is prohibited.
It is not recommended to replace the water heater plug.
The water heater must be powered only by a separate power line.
If the power cord needs to be replaced, it must be of the same brand as the previous one.
The heater must be disconnected from the mains only with a two-pole switch.

Water heater devices

Why exactly 80 liters? Very simply, according to statistics, this volume is considered the most popular among the population. This amount of water is enough for an average family of three.

How is this device arranged? Today, the boiler is required not only to heat the water, but also to keep the set temperature as long as possible.

As a rule, the 80 liter unit has a flat shape, but can be round. Inside is a stainless steel tank. In the middle is a heating element (TEN). Next to it is a magnesium anode that protects the device from scale.

Also inside there is a short tube for supplying cold water and a long one (almost to the top) for hot water outlet. This is to ensure that hot water does not flow until the tank is full. Thanks to this, the heating element will always be in the water.

On the front side of the boiler there is a thermostat, and on the bottom there is a thermostat and water outlets. The space between the outer shell and the inner tank is filled with heat-insulating material. When buying in a store, a valve and fasteners are included with the water heater.

Advantages of Ariston technology

Like all Ariston appliances, water heaters from this company have a lot of advantages:

The first of them can be called a stylish design that helps to decorate any interior. Moreover, each of the models is created in accordance with the latest technologies.
The Ariston 80 water heater has the longest service life. This effect was achieved due to the fact that the internal walls of the storage tank are covered with a layer of modern material that protects the tank from plaque and rust.
The built-in newest dividers prevent mixing of already heated and cold water. This allows you to keep the temperature of the liquid. Also, the Ariston heater is protected from overheating, thanks to built-in temperature control sensors.
The presence of a protective shutdown device, which is triggered at times of a sharp change in voltage.
Using Ariston water heaters, users can significantly save on gas or electricity consumption. This is facilitated by the presence of thermal insulation, which keeps the water hot for a long period of time.
Many models of water heaters are equipped with protection against the appearance of bacteria, which makes it possible to use purified water. If there is no water in the system, then you can not worry that the water heater will turn on, as it is equipped with special protection.

How to clean the boiler

To clean the water heater, you will need the following tools: a knife, a flashlight and a metal brush for washing dishes. First, you need to disconnect the heater from the power supply. You also need to turn off the water supply throughout the house or apartment.

Then, you need to remove the cover, which is located at the bottom of the tank, and disconnect all the wires there. All water is drained from the tank through a hose attached to the drain valve. At the bottom of the tank there are bolts that must be unscrewed, while substituting any container.

For thorough cleaning of the boiler, the electrical part is removed from it. You need to take it out very carefully so as not to catch the rubber gasket. The removed electrical part must be cleaned with a special iron mesh, or with a certain chemical agent.

The next stage of cleaning is to remove scale and debris from the tank. To do this, you need to completely inspect the cavity of the tank (with a flashlight) and clean out all the debris with your hand.

The cleaned tank must be thoroughly dried, after which it can already be collected in its original state. Also, before starting work, you should check the tightness of the tank.

Water heater operating rules

It is not difficult to extend the life of an ariston brand storage heater, you just need to install it according to the instructions and strictly follow the rules for operating the device:

The presence of water in the boiler should be checked every time the device is turned on and off. Switching on is possible only when the tank is filled with water.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a material of the same brand, which is best purchased at a specialized outlet.
If the heater will not be used for a long period, especially during the cold season, then the water from the boiler must be drained, following all the rules prescribed in the instructions. After that, the cold water supply valve is closed. After these steps, the heater is disconnected from the electricity supply.
The heater eventually requires cleaning from dirt. To carry out this work, it is better to use the services of specialists.

Installation and connection of the boiler

Installing a water heater is not particularly difficult. If you wish, you can do it yourself, but it is better to entrust this operation to a professional. If you still decide to do it yourself, let's immediately discuss the issue of electricity.

Step by step:

We decide on a place, drill holes for fasteners and hang the heater. All this is best done with a level to avoid unnecessary distortions.
Next, you need to embed the tees into the wiring pipes. If they are metal-plastic or polypropylene, then there will be no problems with this. What to do when the pipes are metal? There are two options here: either use a grinder and a klupp (threading machine), or connect to a mixer.
Holes were drilled, the apparatus was hung up, tees with layering were cut into the pipes. It is imperative to put a valve on the cold water supply in order to be able to shut off the water to the boiler.
We fasten the valve to the cold water outlet (it should be included). Do not forget to wrap flax or fum tape on the thread. The valve has a dual function. On the one hand, it discharges water at high pressure, on the other hand, in the event of a shutdown, it does not allow water to flow out of the apparatus and thus leave the heating element dry (which is unacceptable).
It is advisable to put a tee with a tap to drain the water above the valve. This will make your life much easier if you decide to remove the unit one day. We wind American women onto the valve and the hot water outlet. Why exactly them? The reason is the same.If you decide to remove the device for repair or replacement, you will not have to suffer with the connections, the Americans are easy to disassemble and assemble. We connect the pipes from the pipes to the boiler.
The launch is as follows. Without turning on the water heater, open the cold water supply. Do not forget to turn off the valve on the hot water pipe leading to the riser, otherwise you will supply heat to all your neighbors. We open hot water in the bathroom in order to release air from the boiler. As soon as water confidently comes out of the tap, you can turn on the water heater.

Now briefly about how to connect the device to the mixer. It's easy to do. It is necessary to find a pair of tees, which have external threads on both sides, and internal threads on one. Carefully remove the mixer. We unscrew the eccentrics from the sockets. We screw tees in their place.

The external threads in the middle must point upwards. We screw valves on them. We screw the eccentrics into the internal thread and put on the mixer. We hook the water heater to the valves. The convenience of this option is that you do not need to do a sidebar. This method is used for metal wiring.

Rules for using the device

There are several general rules, following which you can significantly increase the life of your device and avoid many problems. Here are some of them:

Read the user manual carefully!
Turning the device on and off too often can damage its electronics. Here it is better to be guided by the principle of "turn on and forget".
Be sure to turn off the hot water supply to the apartment before turning on the device.
At least once a year, it is necessary to carry out preventive work (clean the heating element, anode, tank from scale).
Do not turn off the device during heating. This can significantly shorten its service life.
Do not turn on an empty boiler. There is a high probability that the heating elements will burn out without water.
If you are going to leave home for a long time, unplug the water heater!

Turning the device on and off too often can harm its electronics.

Instrument selection

How to choose the most suitable device for your apartment? Let's say you decide on the volume, deciding that 80 liters is enough for you. You need to decide what price you are willing to pay for this pleasure. Budget boilers are no worse than expensive ones. Maybe not so beautiful with less precise settings, but Ariston gives a guarantee on all its models.

Next, we define the form. It all depends on where you are going to hang it. You can take round or flat. Perhaps, if there is absolutely no free space on the walls, the only option would be a horizontal water heater.

If you want to save money, take a 1.5 or 1.2 kW device. Heating will be slower, but save on electricity. Naturally, it is necessary to do what we do with any product in the store - check its integrity with the package. Do not listen to the excuses of sellers like “the dent is small, it’s okay”, you will live with this device for a long time, demand a replacement.

The device of ARISTON water heaters for 80 liters

The external simplicity of any water heater carries with it the same uncomplicated internal structure. The difference can be observed only in the external design and materials from which the heater is made. The external structure of the housing can be made in a cylindrical or flat shape.

Ariston water heater device - Photo 03

Any water heater has:

The internal tank is a boiler into which cold water enters. It is framed by an outer casing.
The water that entered the tank is heated by the built-in heating element. For faster heating of water, two heating elements may be present in the boiler.

The heat-insulating layer, which is present between the body and the boiler, acts as a thermos, which allows you to keep the water temperature longer.
Water enters the tank through a shortened branch pipe with a divider. The heated water is supplied by a drain pipe.
The magnesium anode built into the ariston 80 water heater prevents the deposition of mineral salts on the walls of the inside of the tank. This element is replaced as needed.

Magnesium anode - Photo 04

During heating, when the set temperature is reached, the thermostat is activated, which automatically interrupts the power supply circuit.
If the heating element is turned on, and the water temperature indicators have fallen below the set ones, then the configured thermal relay is activated.
The voltage indicator (indicator light) allows you to control the operation of the water heater.
The built-in thermometer makes it possible to monitor temperature changes.
