They think that the use of gas water heaters should be more safe, and a decoration master said that Gas water heaters must be equipped with a water return device. If this is the case, then there is no need for electricity, and the hot water is fast. So is the water return device so magical?
Backwater Introduction
The rejuvenator stores the cold water between the water heater and the shower head, allowing the water to maintain a warmer temperature. When the next bathing takes place, the water released from the water reinjector is warmer. The waterer can control its working status in many ways, either remotely or manually. Normally, we only need to open the water return device manually for three minutes before bathing.
The advantages and disadvantages of the water return device
1, advantages
Save water: As the domestic hot water circulation system can be used immediately, once the water is turned on, it will not waste water. The ordinary water heater can be said to be a waste of water for a minimum of 1 minute. The water that has just been opened is cold. Then it slowly turns into warm water, and it turns into hot water.
Fast water outflow: 1-2 minutes before using hot water, the water return device circulates the cold water from the hot water pipe back to the water heater; when the clothes are ready to enter the bathroom, the hot water is filled with the pipe, and then the open faucet has Hot water, like staying in a five-star hotel, no need to wait for the use of hot water, save time, and greatly improve the comfort of hot water use;
Multiple modes: The water returner has a variety of work modes and is more intelligent.
2, disadvantages
The price is expensive: a return device, ranging from three to four thousand, and as many as seven or eight thousand, with higher costs;
Increased power consumption: The water return device has a function of keeping warm. If the water temperature inside the water return device is low, it will automatically turn on the heat preservation, which is basically equivalent to an electric water heater, so it will increase the power consumption, but Not many. If you run 20-30 minutes a day, you will consume 30-50 watts of electricity per day, which translates to 0.050 kW x 0.5 hr = 0.025 kWh, so the power consumption is not so great.
Do you want to install the water return?
If it is a large apartment type, such as a villa or a duplex type, the water heater and toilet have a long distance. You can buy a water return device; if your home is a small size, you have to use a household type, and if you use household electricity, For water heaters, there is no need to think about the function of returning water. There is no need for installation because there is not much distance between the electric water heater and the shower, and the electric water heater originally had the function of insulation.
The point of installing a gas water heater
Gas water heater installation, you need to do a good job in the renovation and transformation period sufficient hydropower planning associated with pipeline gas water heater has three: the cold water supply, hot water outlet, a gas inlet pipe should be noted that: different types of gas water heater, three position of the tube is not the same. So you need to determine the model purchased gas water heater, and then to reserve the position of these three lines based on the actual model of the machine.
In addition, we often overlook the fact: gas water heaters also need electricity to the outlet must be reserved for a gas heater decoration, preferably with use of a switch socket, with a waterproof cover.
Since the water pipes are generally at the top, the hot and cold water outlets of the gas water heaters generally go upwards, and the location of the take-off pipes is generally just aligned with the center line of the water heater. Here it should be noted: As the fixed gas water heater needs to nail the wall, Therefore, when leaving the tube, you should deliberately avoid the reserved nails. Similarly, the circuit of the socket reserved for the gas water heater should avoid the nails.
The current gas water heaters are strong exhausts and need to be exhausted outdoors. The temperature of this gas is generally high, plastic pipes can not stand, so the gas water heater exhaust pipe is metal. Because the metal has good thermal conductivity, in fact In use, this metal tube is also very hot. Therefore, when installing the exhaust pipe should pay attention to avoid the exhaust hood exhaust pipe, because the exhaust pipe exhaust hood are plastic, long-term local heating easily aging damage. The good design is that the metal pipe goes straight through the wall and does not cross other rooms, such as the bathroom. Pay special attention to the fact that absolutely no flue can be walked in. To avoid water ingress during rainy days, the exhaust pipe should protrude slightly downwards.
