The device and operation of the Termex water heater

The Termex water heater (Thermex) for more than half a century is an example of functionality and high quality characteristics. The manufacturer's specialization is represented by the release of exclusively modern water heating equipment. Ten years ago, products under the Italian brand began to be manufactured in our country.

Owner reviews

We bought Thermex Champion ER 100V. Its advantages: reasonable price, reliability. We have been using the heater for almost 2 years. The duration of continuous operation reached 2 months, it also warms up quickly, there were no incidents with leaking and repairing electrics. The device is easy to use; it resembles a regular thermal sweat in functionality. Disadvantages: a short cord (only 1 meter), decent power consumption. With constant use for a month, it winds around 180-200 kW of excess, more expensive than for hot water.

We have been using the Thermex IF 50 V water heater for 2 years. Advantages: good volume, 50l, safe, compact and nice design. The apartment has a lot of space, so there were no special problems with the placement. Parents have a small toilet, placed neatly over the toilet. Like a digital display, it is convenient to control the temperature level, easy to control.

I bought a Thermex Flat Plus IF 50H heater. Housing and communal services did not see a big difference between the consumption of hot water and electricity in the utility bill, so I safely used it. Convenient display function - you know what is happening. I liked the possibility of accelerated heating.

Thermex IF 80 V 80 L we chose by chance. The ratio of price, volume of 80 liters and an unusual flat shape is the best option for our bathroom. Heats up quickly, there are different heating modes - slow and fast. Convenient backlit menu - always shows the temperature.

About a year ago I bought a Thermex IF-30V electric water heater. The control panel is modest but neat. There is an RCD that disconnects the device from electricity when there is a leak or circuit. A safety valve is also present. But a significant drawback of this model is that the water heats up for quite some time, but ends quickly. If you are not in a hurry, then you really will not have time to wash yourself.

Tank Thermex Silverheat ER 80 V we bought 3.5 years ago. The device heats up completely (up to 70 degrees) in three to four hours. We used it daily. There is a temperature sensor on top. Bribed that the tank uses bio-glass-porcelain, as well as the Silverheat system, which prevents the formation of bacteria and scale inside the tank. But recently, the heater began to leak, the master said that the device rusted from the inside and these models do not last more than 3-4 years.

How to include and a brief instruction for use

The instructions for use of Termex water heating equipment clearly indicate not only safety measures, but also service rules:

  • cold water is supplied to the EVN using a filter for preliminary treatment at a level of 200 microns or more;
  • the safety valve is installed to supply cold water to ensure complete tightness of the joints with sealing materials in the form of flax or FUM tape;
  • during operation of the water-heating equipment, leakage of water through the exhaust pipe of the safety valve may be observed, which is explained by the release of excessive pressure for the safety of the device;
  • the exhaust pipe of the safety valves must be installed in a downward direction and constantly kept open;
  • It is strictly forbidden to operate any type of water-heating equipment without installing a safety valve;
  • it is mandatory to drain from the outlet of the safety valve to the sewer system;
  • in a monthly mode, an insignificant volume of water is drained by means of a pipe run into the sewer system, which will effectively remove lime deposits and controls the operability of the valve device;
  • during operation of the water-heating equipment, the valve opening handle must block the drainage of water from the storage tank;
  • the equipment is connected to the water supply system using copper, plastic pipes or using flexible special plumbing;
  • after connecting the hot water device, you need to make sure that the cold water shutoff valves are open and the hot water valve is closed;
  • to ensure air outflow, a tap is opened for cold water supply, the outlet of hot water supply with a power supply and at the mixer;
  • after closing the hot water tap on the mixer, it is necessary to check the flange and make sure there are no leaks, and if necessary, tighten the bolts;
  • Before connecting the water-heating equipment to the power supply, make sure that the parameters fully comply with the technical characteristics of the boiler, as well as the presence of water in the tank of the device;
  • water-heating equipment is provided by grounding.

An electrical outlet dedicated to connecting hot water equipment must be provided with a ground contact in accordance with IPX4 or higher.

Common errors and malfunctions

For the most common hot water equipment of the THERMEX CHAMPION and THERMEX CHAMPION SLIM series, ER 50 V / H, ER 80 V / H, ER 100 V / H, ER 120 V / H, ER 150 V / H, ES 30 V / H, ES models 40 V / H, ES 50 V / H, ES 60 V / H, ES 65 V / H, ES 70 V / H and ES 80 V / H are characterized by possible errors and malfunctions presented in the table.

Table: malfunctions and errors in the operation of the device

The reasons Malfunctions Possibility of elimination
Clogged inlet of safety valve Reducing the pressure of hot water supply while maintaining the pressure of cold water Flush valve with cold running water
Scale on heating elements Increase the time for heating the water in the tank Descale heating elements
Undervoltage in an electric network Troubleshoot the electrical network
The set temperature mode is close to the limit values The equipment thermal switch often trips Reduce temperature
Scale on the thermostat tube Descale tube
Lack of voltage in the electric network There is no heating of water and illumination of control lamps when the boiler is connected to the electric network
circuit
Make sure that the electrical network is working
Residual current device tripping Restart residual current device
Thermal switch tripping Disconnect the boiler from the mains, press the temperature switch button all the way after removing the protective cover, put the protection in place and connect the power
Network cable damage Contact the service center specialists
Thermal switch malfunction Contact a service center

The most common errors with definition codes:

  • E1 - insufficient filling of the tank and premature inclusion;
  • E2 - problems with the temperature sensor;
  • E3 - heating water to critical temperature indicators.

In most cases, it is recommended that you contact the service center to troubleshoot the boiler.

The main advantages of Thermex brand electric water heating equipment include the high quality of the materials used, a large model range and numerous service centers located throughout Russia. Nevertheless, some consumers are distrustful of the Russian assembly of units, are dissatisfied with the too high cost, as well as the lack of models of flat boilers with a mechanical type of control or with the presence of a built-in “dry” heating element.
