A tankless electric water heater is an improved country washbasin that provides the comfort of country life for little money. From a technical point of view, it is a storage non-pressure boiler, inside of which there is a heating element, and water can be supplied either through an attached hose or manually - with a bucket. For those who have decided to purchase such a useful item, we advise you to read our review of Russian models and the rules for choosing electric washbasins.

1. Alvin EVBO-20/1.

A compact wall-mounted bulk water heater with a 20-liter stainless steel tank is equipped with a heating element with a power of 1.2 kW. It overcomes the threshold of +60°C in 50 minutes, and you can get acceptable warm water from the tap even faster, especially in summer. Due to the metal two-layer shell, the cost of these models is twice as high as their plastic counterparts, but it is also quite affordable. At the same time, the tank, according to reviews, maintains the water temperature very well, keeping it warm all night.

Also noted are the reliable design of the wall mounts and the modern quarter tap. The built-in automation unit does not allow you to turn on the heating element when the tank is empty. This option appeared in Elvin relatively recently and seems unnecessary, since the water intake hole is initially located above the electric water heater to prevent it from running dry. Among the shortcomings, users sometimes point out a loosely fitting top cover - in such cases, the thermal insulation of the walls practically loses its meaning, but such misunderstandings are rare.

2. Summer resident EVN-30.

A bulk water heater from the manufacturer Mister Heath is an example of an unsuccessful solution, where the gap between the cost and retail price of the device was artificially increased. For the Summer Resident, it would seem that expensive materials are used, which are already worth choosing because of their durability. But the attempt to save as much as possible on manufacturing technology is striking.

The stainless steel body is excellent, especially for an outdoor water heater. However, the too thin walls of the 30-liter model simply blow out when filled. Over and over again, such deformations, multiplied by frequent heating, lead to a natural end - leaks along the seam, which is always a weak point in stainless steel. And here we also used electrode welding, which is absolutely unsuitable in this case. Thermoregulation is clearly not well thought out - the built-in automatic device does not work correctly.

3. Success-N 15.

A small bulk water heater for a summer residence can be selected with a volume of up to 40 liters, but 15 is enough for an ordinary washbasin. Moreover, an economical heating element of 1250 W is installed here. The stainless steel model has a good set of protections and automatic adjustments:

• prevention of “dry” switching;
• current leakage protection;
• maintaining the set temperature in the range of +20-70 °C;
• Power off when overheated.

An indicator light informs you about the operating mode of the water heater - a small thing, but this is what is often missing in other models for the garden. Owner reviews note the rapid rise in temperature and good thermal insulation of the Success. But the wall mount does not seem reliable, although the net weight of the tank without water is small - only 4 kg.

4. Bulk Alvin EVBO 20/1.25-2.

The steel water heater with shower stands out against the background of similar devices. One of the major innovations is the presence of a 2.3 Ah battery, which provides up to 5 heating cycles without connecting to the network (the light indication of its charging is displayed on the case). The design of the boiler for the dacha also includes a built-in pump. It increases the outlet flow pressure to 2.5 l/min, making bathing more comfortable.

The manufacturer's proposed electric shock protection circuit is a little disconcerting. The shower cannot be used until the water heater plug is unplugged. On the other hand, this is the only effective method for all tank-type water heaters, so it should be adopted by owners of other brands.

5. Elbet EVBO-22.

A bulk water heater for a summer cottage made of plastic is the most budget option, the cost of which does not exceed a thousand rubles. At the same time, in terms of its characteristics, Elbet is in no way inferior to metal devices:

• useful volume – 22 l;
• power of the installed heating element – ​​1.25 kW;
• maximum heating – +70°C.

The difference in price is due only to the lower cost of the tank material, and even that sometimes turns out to be much more reliable than metal water heaters. The electrical components are standard: the thermostat maintains the set temperature or turns off the bulk boiler when the maximum is reached. Smooth adjustment is provided, although the small rotary knob may not be convenient enough.

What should a buyer consider?

Depending on your family’s habits, you can choose a tankless water heater with a capacity of 10-250 liters. Compact models are easy to fill, you don’t have to wait long, but the small volume is enough just for washing. At the same time, the power of heating elements in bucket tanks is low, which is a decisive factor for dachas with weak wiring. Devices for 10-30 liters always come in a wall-mounted version, so the kit must have the appropriate mounts, or you will have to buy them yourself.

The more spacious the boiler, the more you can do with just one portion of heated water: take a shower for the whole family one at a time, wash a mountain of dishes, and have some left over for laundry. But a simple electric water heater can no longer cope with such a task. For a dacha with permanent or long-term residence, where you need to create the highest possible level of comfort, you will need a gas bulk boiler or solid fuel titanium.

To save on energy consumption, you should pay attention to the presence of thermal insulation of the tank itself. However, its role is played by the air “pocket” between the double walls of the device. It is better to choose the same design when using the boiler outside the premises. An important role in this is played by the tightly fitted top lid, also made on the principle of a thermos. In addition, it gives additional rigidity to metal tanks, preventing their deformation.

By the way, if you are looking for a floor-mounted filling tank with a heater larger than 50 liters, you will have to turn to foreign-made products. Our factories can only offer “moidodyry”. But the tanks built into them do not differ from wall-mounted ones either in capacity or in installation method. But there are interesting kits on sale, where a shower stall frame and even flooring are supplied along with the water heater. This is where they require your close attention, since due to constant contact with water, unreliable structures will quickly become unusable. Preference should be given to aluminum frames and plank floors, which are easy to replace.

If you are having a summer shower outside, it is better to buy a combined water heater for your dacha. The temperature in the tank will increase due to solar energy, and the built-in heating element will bring it to a comfortable level. This is the most economical option, but it cannot be used indoors, and the operation of such a system is only possible in the warm season.

Nowadays, there is an excellent opportunity to provide a country house with all comfortable conditions, including the availability of hot water. To do this, you just need to purchase good water heaters for your dacha.

Hot water in a summer cottage is a basic necessity. Because, despite the weather conditions, work is always in full swing here. And in cold water it is impossible not only to take a shower, wash clothes, wash dishes, but also to wash your hands well. You can, of course, wash in a bathhouse, but heating it around the clock is very unprofitable. You can install a container to heat water in the sun, but in cloudy weather and on cold days this will also not work. Therefore, purchasing a suitable water heater is the best option.

Device requirements

A water heater for a country house is somewhat different from a device for a city apartment. A device intended for a summer residence must meet several basic requirements:

1. Economical consumption of fuel or energy. You need to decide what is more practical and profitable for you - a wood-burning, gas or electric appliance.
2. Suitable tank volume for family needs. For a country house, it is better to purchase devices with a small tank, because they are light and compact. But at the same time, it is necessary to calculate the daily consumption of hot water at the dacha.
3. Correspondence of power to technical capabilities. It is worth consulting an electrician regarding the capabilities of your electrical wiring.
4. Practicality and ease of use.

First you need to decide what energy the device will use to heat the water. At the dacha, you can use titanium on wood, a gas water heater or an electric appliance.

If you have autonomous heating, you can connect the water heater to the heating boiler.

In addition, you need to accurately determine the required volume of hot water and the heating time. The following main parameters are the geometric and technical properties of the device - its size and shape, efficiency and power. These criteria will affect the duration of water heating and energy consumption.

For example, for a large family, a storage water heater with a volume of about 200 liters will be convenient. For a small family, a small flow-through device will be suitable, which will heat the water very quickly.

Device characteristics

When choosing a water heater for a summer residence, it is necessary to take into account its defining parameters:

• type of device – storage, liquid, flow;
• principle of water supply – pressure, non-pressure;
• type of energy used – gas, solid fuel, solar, electric;
• highest heating temperature – 40 – 100°C;
• water tank volume – 5 – 200 liters;
• device power – 1.25 – 8 kW;
• installation method – floor, wall, universal.

Types of water heaters

Choosing a suitable water heating tank for your dacha is quite a difficult task. Because stores offer a huge number of different models. To decide which one is best for your needs, you must first understand how they differ.

Wall and floor

Regarding the installation method, water heaters are divided into wall-mounted and floor-mounted. Which one to choose depends on the parameters of the house and the purpose of the device.

A wall-mounted water heater for a summer residence is considered more convenient, based on space-saving considerations. Due to its size, the device is suitable even for small buildings. It usually has a small tank, so it is good for people who use little water.

A floor-standing water heater is large in size, so it is not the best option for small houses. However, the tank volume of these models is much larger than that of wall-mounted models. It can hold from 80 to 200 liters of water. Therefore, when staying at the dacha for a long time with the whole family, it is advisable to choose a floor-standing device.

Bulk, flow-through and storage

Based on the method of water supply, water heaters are divided into three types - bulk, instantaneous and storage. In this case, the choice depends on the water supply mechanism - it comes through a water supply or is brought from a well.

A bulk water heater is suitable for dachas that are not connected to water supply (most of us have them). The device is equipped with a tank that is filled with water manually - with a ladle, watering can, or scoop. These devices are often combined with a sink or shower.

A instantaneous water heater for a summer residence is installed if there is a connection to the water supply. Heating occurs when water flows through the heat exchanger of the device. For its normal operation, medium water pressure is required. Otherwise, it will either be barely warm or flow in a thin stream. Such devices are usually equipped with a temperature regulator and an electronic control panel.

The storage water heater has a large capacity, which can be heated using a heating element or a gas burner. The main advantage of this device is the ability to stock up on the required amount of hot water.

The water heater tank is protected from the outside by thermal insulation and a durable casing. The device is equipped with a control panel, which necessarily contains a temperature regulator. If the temperature sensor detects a temperature in the tank below the set one, the device automatically turns on.

Pressure and non-pressure

A large assortment is divided into pressure and non-pressure devices. Both types are plugged into the mains and are powered by electricity. The main differences between pressure and non-pressure instantaneous water heaters are as follows.

Pressure devices cut into water pipes and are under constant water pressure. As a rule, their installation is carried out by experienced craftsmen. Such devices provide multiple points of consumption. Allows one person to wash dishes and another to shower at the same time.

Pressure water heaters operate automatically, responding to the opening of the tap. Their models are presented with different capacities. Therefore, choosing a suitable country water heater will not be very difficult.

A non-pressure device is installed only at one point of consumption and requires the installation of special water fittings. Therefore, when choosing this type, you will need to install a similar device on each tap. The power of non-pressure water heaters is up to 8 kW. Cold water is supplied using a pump or manually. Most often, they come immediately complete with a shower or kitchen nozzle.

It is worth noting that it is impossible to replace one attachment with another. All components are assembled at the factory. Therefore, before purchasing, you need to pay special attention to the components of the device.

Classification of water heaters by heating method

The most important criterion for choosing water heaters for a summer residence is the type of energy used. Based on this feature, there are 4 types of devices:

• wood or solid fuel;
• solar;
• gas;
• electric.

Solid fuel, gas and electric water heaters are popular in our country. Solar devices are used very rarely.

Wood and solid fuel water heaters

The device consists of a fuel compartment and a water container. A pipe is installed for the chimney. The water is heated by the combustion of wood, coal and hot smoke coming out of the firebox through the chimney.

This device has many disadvantages, and often they outweigh all the advantages. The main disadvantages are: high fire hazard and the need to constantly add fuel to the compartment.

Solar water heaters

The devices are powered by solar panels - long glass tubes filled with a special composition. They absorb solar energy and produce direct electric current from it.

On the one hand, solar water heaters are very economical. But on the other hand, on cold and cloudy days they cannot absorb enough solar energy to fully provide the family with warm water.

Gas water heaters

These devices have a simple design and can operate with low pressure. In addition, fuel for them is much cheaper than for other options. But such devices also have some disadvantages: the need for systematic preventive inspections and maintenance, noise during operation and unstable water temperature.

The gas instantaneous water heater has a simple operating mechanism. Cold water enters it, moves through special heat exchange channels, as a result of which it gradually heats up. The water temperature depends on several reasons: pressure, automatic mode settings and frequency of use of the device.

Gas storage water heater - water is heated in a tank by burning gas. This type of garden water heater is very efficient and can guarantee an uninterrupted supply of large volumes of hot water. Disadvantages - high costs, however, with built-in automation, its efficiency and cost-effectiveness significantly increases.

Electric water heaters

Such devices are purchased not only for a city apartment, but also for a country house. Especially if gas is not supplied to the dacha. Electric water heaters for summer cottages are very convenient to use, but for their normal operation they need good water pressure and no power outages.

The water is heated by means of a heating element installed inside the device. Cold water moves in a spiral and heats up. Its advantages are good efficiency, and its disadvantages are low efficiency. The greater the water pressure, the cooler it is; the less, the warmer it is.

They have a similar operating mechanism as flow-through ones. Only the water does not flow, but is in a tank, which is heated by a heating element. The advantages are an uninterrupted flow of hot water. The downside is that it takes extra time to heat up.

Electric storage water heaters

Simple and modern devices - which consist of a water storage tank for a summer residence and a heating element heating element. The capacity of the tank is usually 10 - 200 liters, and the power of the heating element is 1.2 - 8 kW. The duration of heating depends on the volume of the container, the power of the heating element and the temperature of the incoming cold water. For a 10-liter tank, half an hour will be enough, for a 200-liter tank – about 7 hours.

In addition, electric storage water heaters for summer cottages include: a magnesium anode (protects the internal tank from corrosion), a thermal insulation layer (allows you to retain heat), a thermostat (temperature control), an outer casing, and a safety valve.

A storage water heater has several advantages:

• retains hot water in its container for a long time;
• in the event of a temporary lack of power supply, supplies previously heated water;
• it is possible to program operation at night, heating water for a morning shower or in order to save electricity;
• when positioned high, it is an element that forms pressure in the system.

Electric instantaneous water heaters

In instantaneous water heaters for summer cottages, water does not accumulate; it is heated as it flows through the heat exchanger. And electricity is only consumed when using hot water.

Flow devices are equipped with a special heating coil or heating element. The spiral heating element heats the water up to 45 degrees and needs to be warmed up. But it works well in hard water and doesn't require cleaning. New heating elements heat water very quickly up to 60 degrees, which saves electricity.

Some instantaneous water heaters are equipped with an electronic power regulator, which helps maintain a stable temperature of warm water.

Instantaneous water heaters for summer cottages have the following positive qualities:

• provide unlimited hot water consumption;
• compact, they are easy to remove and take away for the winter;
• do not dry the air;
• do not require special maintenance.

Electric tankless water heaters

Many dachas have problems with water distribution or there is no plumbing system at all. Therefore, a bulk water heater for a summer cottage with a heater is still in great demand. Water is simply poured into the tank, and after a while it heats up to the desired temperature. Then it is fed through the tap, which is located at the bottom of the tank.

Advantages of tankless water heaters:

• durable water heating container made of stainless metal that will last a long time;
• simple design of the device, which does not require special preparation for installation and subsequent use;
• models with heating elements of different power;
• the presence of a thermostat, which eliminates the possibility of water evaporation and, as a result, breakdown of the device.

Bulk water heater "Moidodyr"

Like electrical appliances, a tankless water heater for a summer residence can be installed in the kitchen (with a small capacity) or in the shower. The most affordable and practical version of this heater is the Moidodyr system. The device is located directly above the sink. The reservoir for used water is located in the cabinet below.

Modern “” models heat water to the required temperature automatically; they are equipped with protection against “dry” heating and overheating. The tankless water heater is compact and very convenient to use; in addition, you do not need to buy an additional sink for washing dishes. However, when choosing this option, you need to take into account that it has a small tank. Therefore, its functionality is very limited.

Tankless water heater for shower

This device is a tank with a volume of 50 - 150 liters with a built-in heating element. It is equipped with a thermostat, which makes it possible to regulate the heating temperature. The bulk water heater for shower is equipped with protection against “dry” start-up. Water is poured into this apparatus in buckets or using a pump. The most cost-effective device is “Sadko”. It can be mounted above an outdoor shower or above a bathtub.

When installing a tankless water heater above the shower, on sunny days you can use solar energy for heating. This will save energy. And on cloudy days it is better to use a heating element.

Tank water heater with shower cabin

For convenience, you can purchase a country water heater with a shower cabin. This device consists of a heater, a cabin, a shower head, a tray and a curtain. Such structures are made with or without electrical heating. In the latter case, water is heated only from sunlight.

In a summer cottage, such a device can make life much easier, especially in the absence of running water. You just need to pour water into the tank, heat it and use it for your own needs.

Which water heater to choose for your cottage?

When choosing a country water heater, you first need to clarify the initial electrical wiring parameters. This will allow you to determine the maximum power of the device that can be connected. If necessary, you can change the wiring or proceed from what you have.

The power of the device depends on the water consumption for each task:

• for washing dishes, a power of 4 - 6 kW is suitable;
• using a shower requires power from 8 kW;
• to draw a bath you need 13-15 kW, in this case you will need a three-phase water heater.

For a summer residence, with a network voltage of 220 volts, it is best to buy small devices with a power of 3 - 8 kW.

In addition, when buying an electric water heater, you need to take into account its size and weight. These parameters play a decisive role for the installation.

We are all accustomed to buying equipment from well-known brands, without considering the products of Chinese and Korean companies. Today this is already the wrong approach. Most large concerns have moved their production to China. And the quality of some Chinese manufacturers deserves approval.

Therefore, today, when buying a device from a well-known brand, there is a possibility of overpaying not for the quality of the product, but for its popularity. A water heater for a dacha with an unfamiliar name may turn out to be much better, more functional and much cheaper. To avoid getting into trouble, when choosing a manufacturer, we recommend that you carefully study the device documentation.

Choosing a water heater for a summer house - video

Water heater "Dachny"- this is the first bulk water heater designed in Russia. The idea of ​​​​creating a water heater of this type belongs to a group of engineers from the Pskov Electrotechnical Plant (at that time JSC Elterm). In 1996, molds for casting the body of a new product were developed and manufactured, and in 1998 the necessary casting equipment was purchased, and the entire production cycle began to be carried out at the plant. Until this time, ordinary washstands were used in rural houses, summer cottages and gardens that did not have running water. A tankless water heater, which is actually heated washbasin, allows you to quickly and inexpensively obtain warm water in such conditions. Its advantages include low price, undemanding quality of water used, and the ability to quickly install and start using. If necessary, the tank of the bulk water heater can be easily washed from the inside.

The “Dachny” water heater is packed in a cardboard box. Package size – 580x155x360 mm, weight – 2.7 kg.

The kit includes the water heater itself with a removable top cover and water tap, a pair of brackets for wall mounting and instructions. The body is made of polypropylene, painted white. It should be especially noted that the “Dachny” tankless water heater can be mounted both on the wall and on most frames washbasins Moydodyr.

Inside the housing there is a tubular electric heater (TEH) made of stainless steel with a power of 1.25 kW and a thermostat mounting pin. A distinctive feature of the Dachny water heater is a partition located inside the body and forming a compartment for removing excess water through a special outlet. Looking at this partition, it is not difficult to guess which product was chosen as the basis when designing the body of the first bulk water heater. The practical benefit of this solution is minimal, and the disadvantage is the following: when the device is operating, water constantly condenses on the inner surface of the top cover, drops of which fall into the compartment and then exit through the hole. But since under the water heater, as a rule, there is a sink or other container for collecting water, this drawback is not significant. On the rear wall there are special bosses for mounting brackets.

The top cover of the water heater with molded stiffening ribs tightly covers the container, keeping it from deforming when heating water.

The electrical part is located in a special compartment on the side and is covered with a removable lid. Since 2005, the Dachny water heater has been using a thermostat with the ability to smoothly regulate the temperature. It is also used as a switch. The water heater is connected to the power supply using a molded plug with a grounding contact. This eliminates the risk of electric shock if the electrical wiring in the home is properly installed.

In earlier modifications of the country water heater, a thermostat, an emergency thermal switch and a power switch were used. The thermostat maintained the temperature within 50±5°C. Subsequently, it was decided to abandon bulky components of our own production in favor of reliable products produced on professional equipment. This allowed us to reduce costs and virtually eliminate manufacturing defects.

The heating element of the “Dachny” water heater in the latest modification is lowered as much as possible, but is still located slightly above the level of the drain hole. For this reason, and also due to the absence of an emergency thermal switch, it is strictly prohibited to turn on a tankless water heater without water.

The water tap of the “Dachny” double-acting water heater is made of plastic. This is also the development of a group of engineers from Elterm OJSC. The crane is easily installed on the body without the help of tools; its advantage is its low cost. The use of more expensive metal taps entails the problem of reliable electrical connection of the tap body with the protective grounding wire. The solution to this problem affects the cost of the water heater, and in the absence of such a connection, the water heater will not meet electrical safety requirements and will not receive a certificate of conformity.

We assemble the water heater, install the faucet, and cover it with a lid. When assembled, the dimensions of the Dachny water heater are 560x210x345 mm, weight - 2.2 kg.

Pour water, controlling its volume. If 15 liters are filled, stated in the instructions as the nominal volume, then the water level is approximately 3 cm below the edge of the partition of the overflow compartment. In this case, the body is deformed by approximately 1 cm in width at the top. By covering the case with the top cover, we remove the deformation.

We connect the power cord to the electrical network and turn on the water heater. The backlight comes on and the water begins to heat up. We check the operation of the thermostat at the minimum and maximum positions.

We monitor the temperature of the heated water, measuring it using a household multimeter with a remote sensor - a thermocouple. The sensor is placed in the water at the top of the water heater at a depth of about 5 cm, the top cover is closed. The water temperature before heating starts is 20°C, the water volume is 15 l, the ambient air temperature is 20°C. The thermostat is in the minimum heating position. The measurement results are presented in the table.
