Recently, there have been frequent failures in the supply of hot water. Of course, this brings a lot of inconvenience. For bathing, you need to heat huge pots, washing dishes turns into torture, especially in winter. It is for this reason that the inhabitants of the Russian Federation began to think about purchasing independent devices that are capable of providing a continuous supply of hot water. Geysers, although much cheaper, are safer than electric water heaters.
Garanterm is a trademark of the Russian company GT Company. The first water heaters under this brand appeared in 1989. All appliances are our own design. They use modern technologies and innovative systems. Thanks to this, the company won not only the domestic market, but also the American one. Already in 2007, buyers from many countries had the opportunity to evaluate Garanterm products. What is its speci alty?
First meeting
Garanterm is a water heater with a long warranty period. In this way, the manufacturer shows the reliability of these devices. During the development of models, maximum attention is paid to the quality of materials. They are not subject to corrosion due to the use of cold-type welding. The range of Garanterm water heaters is quite large. For example, with a stainless tank, there are four series:
- Image. The design is stylish and modern, the panels have a mirror finish. This group includes devices that can hold from 30 to 100 liters of water. Storage tanks - 2, temperature controllers - 2. Heating element - heating element (type - dry). The equipment does not require annual maintenance. Power consumption - 2000 W. There are three adjustment modes. The devices of this series are reliable, efficient and economical.
- Rondo. The devices are equipped with two heating elements, the power of which is from 2 to 6 kW. The heating of the liquid occurs in record time, which makes the devices of this series the most economical. In the model line there are water heaters with a capacity of 30 to 300 liters. There is a regulator for power switching (3 modes). Currently the most popular series.
- Smart. This group combines narrow devices (diameter does not exceed 27 cm). The maximum volume is 50 liters, the minimum is 30 liters. The storage water heater Garanterm of this series consumes 2000 W. To increase the level of efficiency, the manufacturer increased the heat-insulating layer, so that the heated waterstays hot for a long time. Compact dimensions allow the installation of devices of this series in small apartments.
- Narrow. Devices with a volume of 30 to 100 liters have a flat body. Equipped with two storage tanks and heating elements. Power and temperature are adjustable. The devices are efficient and economical. Due to the good thickness of the thermal insulation, they can keep the high temperature of the water throughout the day.
Models with a reinforced surface of the inner walls of the tank are no less popular. Compared to classic appliances, they use technologies that significantly increase the level of protection against corrosion and rust, and also protect the coolant to the maximum.
Technology
Garanterm is a water heater that uses innovative technologies. Let's take a look at them:
- Point Y - a system that significantly increases the reliability of the connecting place of the three seams. The essence of the technology is the use of cold welding. Due to the fact that the chrome surface does not heat up, the strength of the connection is increased by 30%.
- Flat Tank - the use of two storage tanks. Used in flat models with dry heating elements.
- SuperFoam - the effectiveness of thermal insulation. As a rule, all models use polyurethane, which has a low level of thermal conductivity. Thanks to its use, it was possible to significantly reduce heat loss.
- Cold Metal Transfer - technology of usecold welding that maximizes the quality of stainless steel.
- Dry Coat - a system for protecting the surface of the inner walls of the tank. The enamel is applied evenly and firmly fixed.
Reliability check
Garanterm is a water heater, the reliability of which can be 100% sure. The company conducts various tests for strength and safety. Let's see how exactly devices are tested in production.
- Acid solution (30%). By creating an acidic environment inside the tank, the resistance of the enamel coating was tested for one month. Rust and corrosion of the metal were not detected.
- High power water hammer. The Garanterm water heater (the instruction contains this information) was tested for the strength of the storage tank for 86 hours. In one second, two fairly strong water hammers were applied. There were 150 thousand cycles in total. This indicates that the warranty period of the tank material is about 20 years.
- High pressure test. For 3 minutes inside the tank the pressure was raised to 24 atmospheres. The test results showed that the walls and coating were not deformed, no leaks were detected.
- Temperature changes. In order to test the strength of the storage tank, in laboratory conditions, the temperature was first sharply raised inside it to 93 °, and then lowered to -20 °. There was no deformation.
