Garanterm, water heater: description, specs and reviews

Recently, hot water is often malfunctioning. Of course, this gives a lot of inconvenience. For bathing it is necessary to heat huge pans, washing dishes turns into torture, especially in winter. It is for this reason that the inhabitants of the Russian Federation began to think about the acquisition of independent devices that can provide continuous supply of hot water. Gas columns, though cost much less, but more safe are electric water heaters.

Garanterm is a trademark of the Russian company GT Company. The first water heaters under this brand appeared in 1989. All devices are their own design. They use modern technologies and innovative systems. Thanks to this, the company has won not only the domestic market, but also the American one. Buyers from many countries already in 2007 had the opportunity to evaluate Garanterm products. What is its peculiarity?

First meeting

Garanterm - 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, thanks to the use of cold welding . The range of water heaters Garanterm is large enough. For example, with a stainless tank there are four series:

• Image. The design is stylish and modern, the panels are mirrored. In this group of devices are combined, containing from 30 to 100 liters of water. Storage tanks - 2, temperature controllers - 2. Heating element - heater (type - dry). The equipment does not require annual maintenance. Power consumption - 2000 Watts. There are three adjustment modes. The devices of this series are reliable, efficient and economical.
• Rondo. The devices are equipped with two heaters, the power of which is from 2 to 6 kW. Heating of the liquid takes place in record time, which makes the devices of this series the most economical. In the model line there are water heaters, which can hold from 30 to 300 liters. There is a regulator for switching the power (3 modes). At the moment, the most popular series.
• Smart. In this group, narrow devices are combined (diameter does not exceed 27 cm). The maximum volume is 50 liters, the minimum volume is 30 liters. The storage water heater Garanterm of this series consumes 2000 watts. To increase the level of economy, the manufacturer has increased the thermal insulation layer, so that the heated water remains hot for a long time. Compact size allows you to install devices of this series in small apartments.
• Narrow. Devices, with a volume of 30 to 100 liters, have a flat housing. Equipped with two storage tanks and heating elements. Power and temperature are regulated. The devices are efficient and economical. Due to good thickness, thermal insulation can keep the water high during the day.

No less popular are models with a reinforced surface of the inner walls of the tank. In comparison with classical devices, they use technologies that significantly increase the level of protection from corrosion and rust, and also protect the coolant as much as possible.

Technologies

Garanterm - water heater, which uses innovative technologies. Let's look at them:

• Point Y is a system that significantly improves the reliability of the joint of three joints. The essence of the technology is the application of cold welding. Due to the fact that the chrome surface does not heat up, the strength of the joint increases by 30%.
• Flat Tank - application of two storage tanks. Used in flat models with dry type heating elements.
• SuperFoam - the efficiency of thermal insulation. Typically, all models use polyurethane, which has a low level of thermal conductivity. Thanks to its application it was possible to significantly reduce heat loss.
• Cold Metal Transfer - the technology of using cold welding, which maximizes the quality of stainless steel.
• Dry Coat - a system to protect the surface of the inner walls of the tank. The enamel is applied evenly and firmly fixed.

Reliability check

Garanterm - water heater, in the reliability of which you can be sure at 100%. 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 durability of the enamel coating was tested for one month. Rust and corrosion of metal are not detected.
• High impact water hammer. The water heater Garanterm (the instruction contains this information) was tested for the strength of the storage tank for 86 hours. For two seconds, two powerful hydrostorms were applied. In total there were 150 thousand cycles. This indicates that the warranty period of the tank material is about 20 years.
• High pressure test. For 3 minutes, the pressure inside the tank was increased to 24 atmospheres. The test results showed that the walls and coating did not deform, no leakage was observed.
• Temperature differences. In order to check the strength of the storage tank, in the laboratory, the temperature inside it first rose abruptly to 93 ° C, and after it was lowered to -20 °. Deformation was absent.
