A water heater is a device designedfor heating water in the water supply system. It can be used in case of interruptions with hot water, which is not uncommon in Russian realities. On sale, you can find two main types of such devices - cumulative and flowing.
The first are the same boilers, they found their applicationin private houses and in apartments with a large area. They act on the principle of accumulation, that is, the design provides for a certain volume of the reservoir, where the liquid is to be heated. Flow models operate in real time and pump the temperature directly from the jet, and not in a pre-filled tank. These devices are excellent at coping with small volumes and they can often be seen in ordinary city apartments.
There are also hybrid options that combinein itself these two principles of heating, but judging by the reviews of flow-storage water heaters, as such, the practicality of the acquisition is felt only in models from the premium segment. In other cases, that is, in the budgetary and medium-budget category of devices, the user gets neither that nor that: the boiler does not work properly, and the flow-through part mediocre heats up.
