A gas water heater is a device for heating water, popular both in private houses and in apartments. Having bought a column, you are most likely faced with the problem of setting it up. The indicators set by the factory do not suit you, they are not universal, therefore, after installation, it is necessary to adjust the geyser. This will save water, gas and electricity. Also, the correct setting of the unit will increase its service life and save the budget.
Read on: how to properly set up a geyser on your own, adjusting the temperature of a geyser.
The latest models of gas water heaters are equipped with electronic equipment that automatically adjusts for each specific situation. That is, you do not need to configure it yourself - the device will do everything by itself.
Preliminary work / preparation. If you carefully and carefully carry out the adjustment, it will take no more than 20 minutes.
First of all, when preparing, set the water supply to a minimum. This is required for all models. Otherwise, the indicators will be different. The consumption you need must be equated to 8, 10 or 12 liters, however, these figures can be reduced or increased depending on the situation. It is possible to achieve accurate values \u200b\u200bwhen adjusting if one mixer for hot water is used. Having set the minimum value for water, repeat the action with gas. This is necessary to bring the gas column to the initial parameters. And the last step is to connect the electronic equipment for adjustment. To do this, connect the wires of plus, minus and phase, then install batteries, batteries or other consumable power sources.
How to set up a geyser - step by step instructions
We remind you that the process is quite short, but you need to be careful in all the details. The first time will be the most difficult, but subsequent times it will be faster.
After preparation, it is necessary to supply a minimum supply of liquid with gas (the values \u200b\u200bare written in the instructions, usually for water it is 6/8 or 10/12 liters per minute, you set the gas for your specific device), turn off the tap, supply only hot water and connect the electronics - you need to start the column. Wait for the water to heat up, then measure its temperature. To do this, measure the temperature of cold water from the tap, then open the hot water to the maximum and measure its temperature. The difference between inlet and outlet should be about 25 degrees Celsius. If it is significantly hotter / colder, then this needs to be corrected. To do this, turn the gas knob or toggle switch. The main task of the toggle switch is to increase / decrease the pressure of the water leaving the column. High pressure - low temperature, low pressure - high temperature.
Water heating does not occur instantly, so you need to be patient when adjusting. After any change in indicators, you must wait a couple of minutes until the water heats up.

According to the recommendations of experts, it is not advised to set the water heating to more than 55 degrees Celsius. During the operation of the geyser, when heated, calcium salts are released, which are deposited in the heat exchanger tubes and form scale, which causes the water to heat up worse. Also, the more scale layer is formed, the smaller the tube diameter and, accordingly, the water pressure. Scale formation is a natural process; so that it does not lead to serious problems, it is necessary to clean the gas column 1-2 times a year. However, at a heating temperature of more than 55 degrees, scale forms much faster, so even if you like hot water, do not set the water temperature to more than 55 degrees.
Possible problems. Most often, during self-configuration, users experience the following problems:
- Drop in water pressure
- Water is supplied under low pressure
Unstable pressure in your water supply will lead to the rapid wear of equipment that works with water, including a gas water heater. Pressure drops greatly wear out the seals and rubber bands at the junction, which causes leaks. With serious problems with pressure drops, pipes or a heat exchanger can burst. To solve this problem, it is enough to install a pressure regulator in the plumbing system. Also, pressure problems can be caused by a faulty valve that needs to be replaced.
Due to the reduced water pressure, the heat exchanger does not have time to fill with water. The heat exchanger itself is an intermediary that transfers heat from the burner flame to the water. If there is not enough water, the mediator begins to absorb heat. However, the device cannot withstand such high temperatures for a long time. As a result, the heat exchanger burns out, melts or starts to leak. To avoid this, geyser manufacturers have been producing models with low pressure protection for the last 10-15 years. Protection works on the principle of "small pressure - the column will not ignite." If the pressure drops sharply, then most likely the water supplier has problems, in which case contact the proper service. If you have always had a small water pressure, it is recommended to install a pump in the water supply to increase the pressure. Also, the problem of low pressure is caused by the formation of scale / clogged pipes and leakage.
