Bosch gas column device
Many consumers, when purchasing water heaters, do not even have an idea of how the Bosch geyser works. The internal structure of the German-made unit consists of a body, a mounting hole, a viewing window, a water pressure regulator, a fitting designed for a gas hose, a chimney pipe, a sensorthrust, equipped with a protective collector, combustion chamber, piezo ignition and water unit.
If we consider the operation of a gas column, for example, with piezo ignition, then it is quite simple and elementary in control. In order to start using such a column, you must first set the water temperature regulator to the “On” position and only then press the button. It is held at the thermostat until the column turns on. Also, with the help of it, the required water temperature is selected.
If we consider the peculiarity of the operation of a geyser with automatic ignition, then in this case it is even easier to use it. If just such a Bosch gas water heater was purchased, how to light it? This is very easy to remember. To do this, open the hot water tap, which is located on the mixer. After that, the unit will turn on by itself.
Owner's Manual
If you use the unit correctly and know how to light a Bosch gas water heater, the technique will seem very easy to use. Before starting work, open the water and gas valves. There are several ways to light a column:
- Manually. This method is mainly used only in old-style models. To do this, you need to open the water supply and the main valve for the flow of fuel, then light the wick with matches and turn on the gas supply valve. The disadvantage of such units is that it will also be necessary to turn off the valve manually.
- With helppiezo ignition. Such Bosch gas instantaneous water heaters are classified as semi-automatic. First you need to light the main burner by turning on the main regulator in the fuel supply. To ignite the wick, you will need to press the button.
- Automatically. These Bosch instantaneous gas water heaters are considered advanced. Everyone can use them without exception, since their launch is simplified as much as possible. The only downside to these pumps is that many homes have low pressure water, which prevents the turbine from working properly.
Each column must be accompanied by instructions for proper operation. You should definitely check it out.
Possible problems
If a Bosch gas water heater was bought a long time ago, you know how to light it, but for some reason nothing happens, then in this case you need to look for a solution to the problem in possible breakdowns. What could it be?
If the wick in the Bosch geyser does not burn or it goes out when the tap on the mixer is opened, then in this case it is necessary to examine the gas pressure reducer, provided that it runs on liquefied gas.
When the outlet water is not cold or hot enough, in this case, the problem can be solved by setting the temperature controller on the column correctly.
If the Bosch geyser does not turn on, then you must first check the condition of the batteries and, if necessary, replace them with new ones. Also, many are faced withafter a certain period of time, poor water pressure passes through the column. This is due to the clogging of the heat exchanger, water unit or mixer. To get rid of the problem, it is necessary to identify the pollution and eliminate it.
If it was not possible to independently identify the malfunction and fix it, then in this case you need to contact the Bosch service center, which will perform warranty repairs.
