Rating of the best water heaters Termex

The best storage water heaters Thermex

Thermex storage water heaters allow you to store a large amount of warm water and then only maintain its temperature, saving energy. They are convenient for connecting to standard wiring in an apartment or private home because most of them have the same power as an iron or electric kettle. But in terms of size boilers take up a lot of space and when the tank is filled with cold water, you will have to wait from 60 to 300 minutes until the volume heats up. Here is the rating of the best 5 models in this category.

Thermex Round Plus IR 300V

Rating: 4.9

First place in the rating among the storage water heaters is taken by the huge IR 300V model. The boiler holds 300 litres and retains heat thanks to a thick layer of polyurethane foam. Household appliance consumes 6000 W / h, so in a regular socket it is not necessary to connect, but a separate line with a circuit breaker. The full volume of the boiler heats in 3.2 hours, t. ch. You need to turn it on in advance. Due to its weight of 354 kg, it can only be installed vertically on the floor – it is not suitable for small bathrooms. The owners in the reviews like the fact that inside works two heaters at once, as well as convenient top connection of communications.

We placed the Termex water heater on the first place in the rating for several reasons. The tank is made of thick stainless steel (2 mm cross-section) that provides long-lasting protection against corrosion and leaks. To reduce the impact of the liquid on the metal, an anode with a larger size than competitors. Thermex manufacturer provides a 7-year warranty on the tank.

Advantages

• Capacious tank of 300 liters – enough for a family of 6-8 people;
• function of self-cleaning from limescale;
• overheat protection;
• Thick insulation layer of polyurethane foam to keep you warm.

Disadvantages

• long wait for heating after switching on (200 minutes);
• Only floor installation due to the weight of the full water heater 354 kg;
• You need to allocate enough space dimensions 630x630x1215 mm;
• You need to lay a separate power line, capable of withstanding 6 kW.

Thermex Champion Floor ER 200V

Rating: 4.8

The second place of the rating took the storage water heater from Termex with the name “Champion”. Such image of the household appliance is confirmed by the presence of a heating element, 6 kW, which heats the fluid volume of 200 liters to a temperature of 70 degrees in 120 minutes. The boiler is suitable for several points of selection in a large house or apartment, where live 4-5 people. Owners in reviews share that it is convenient to regulate the speed and temperature of heating thanks to the three toggle switches that set the power limit. The safety functions include a pressure relief valve that triggers when the pressure reaches 6 bar and a relay that shuts off the power supply in case of overheating.

Our experts liked the Termex storage water heater for its versatility of connection to the network – it can be done both to 220 V and 380 V. In the second case, during operation of the heater can include other household equipment (electric kettle, iron, washing machine, hair dryer) at the same time. Even the walls of the tank are coated with glass ceramic, so the seams are protected against corrosion.

Advantages

• no need to drill anything during installation – it is installed on its own feet;
• The tank is reliably protected from corrosion;
• intuitive operation with a choice of power;
• heating temperature limiter and protection against excessive temperature rise.

Thermex Flat Plus Pro IF 50V (pro)

Rating: 4.7

The third place in the rating is occupied by a Termex boiler with two heating elements, rated at 2 kW. It can be plugged into a regular socket. The water heater is electronically controlled, allowing it to accurately maintain the set temperature. Owners in the reviews like the black display with bright blue numbers and touch buttons, protected by a rubber coating against splashing. The device is installed vertically on the wall, because the empty weighs 12 kg, and filled – 62 kg. The Termex manufacturer has given the model a function of self-diagnosis, but there are only three codes in the settings. Household appliance is protected from running with an empty tank, there is a safety valve and frost prevention.

In our opinion, the water heater deserves a place in the rating because of the RCD, which protects the user from electric shock in a short circuit. Voltage will never enter the water. Inside the Thermex boiler is equipped with a dividing wall, which speeds up the heating of the liquid – 50 liters will reach a temperature of 45 degrees in 85 minutes.

Advantages

• 7 years warranty;
• Two copper heating elements;
• display and touch buttons;
• A thermometer that shows the exact number of degrees;
• electronic control.

Disadvantages

Rating: 4.6

In fifth place in the ranking is located Termex, which holds 15 liters. Heating is provided by a single heating element of 1500 watts. The steel walls of the tank are coated with glass-ceramic, so the heater does not leak. The boiler is mounted on the wall, even in the metal profile of plasterboard partition walls, because the weight of the empty model – 8 kg, and the full – 23 kg. Fluid can be heated up to 75 degrees. Safety features include overheat lock and overpressure relief. Users like this storage water heater by the fact that it keeps warm for almost a day and always stays cold outside.

Our experts have included the product in the rating because of the price of the water heater. Given the quality of construction, it is difficult to find a cheaper water heater. The model also differs in speed – Termex is able to heat 15 liters in 20 minutes. But because of the small volume, we recommend the unit for office toilets (wash your hands with warm water) or cottages (express bathing one person, washing dishes).

Advantages

• unusual design;
• compact dimensions 375h395h345 mm;
• Economical power consumption due to the power 1.5 kW;
• The container with a vitrified clay coating on its walls;
• the outside of the body is always cool.

Disadvantages

• warm water supply is quickly consumed;
• Only 1 heating element
• Difficult to find spare parts for repair;
• Weak light from the indicator – in sunny weather it is not possible to see whether the device is on or not.

The best instantaneous water heaters Thermex

Thermex instantaneous models heat the flow only at the moment of opening the tap. There are pressurized and non-pressurized types of units. The temperature transfer takes place at the moment when the liquid flows through the spiral or U-shaped heating element. The advantages of the devices are their compact size and price, but they are designed for periodic rather than constant use, for example, during the seasonal disconnection of the hot water supply.

Thermex Topflow 8000

Rating: 4.9

In the first place in this category of the rating, we put Termex with a capacity of 8 kW, which is designed for several points of selection and can hold the pressure of the water network at 6 bar without an additional tap on the inlet. The water heater is equipped with 12 steps of regulation, a circular display and four keys to enter the settings. The flow-through device is mounted on a wall and takes 205x360x125 mm. During operation, the heating indicator is lit. If there is no water in the system, the equipment will not turn on. Inside, the heating is done by a spiral stainless steel heating element, which is better protected against plaque than copper. The case of the heater encloses the electrical parts against splashing, so it can be mounted directly in the shower enclosure.

We put this model Termex in the rating of the best, because the electronic control monitors the temperature of the outgoing flow, regardless of changes in the indicator of the incoming. For example, if the liquid flows through the pipes in the house for a long time 15 º C, and then will go already cooler 5 º C (from the pipes under the ground), but the output will be stable 37 º C.

Advantages

• interesting design of the control panel;
• bright display;
• electronic control;
• protection against operation without water;
• 2 years warranty.

Disadvantages

• high power consumption during the period of use;
• Needs to run a separate line with a dispenser;
• The water intake is weaker than the tap water.

Thermex Stream 500

Rating: 4.8

The second place in the rating in the category of flow-through water heaters was taken by the model for 5 kW. The device has two toggle switches that allow you to adjust the power in steps of 2, 3 or 5 kW at once. Thermex produces a model in two versions of the body – white with a black insert and gray with a black insert. This is liked by customers in the reviews, because it helps you better match the device to the interior of the bathroom or kitchen. You can see that the Thermex is working now by the power indicator. Place appliances easily over the sink thanks to its 16x26x9 dimensions.5 cm. But the water heater belongs to the non-pressurized type and it is impossible to leave it under pressure.

Our experts liked the product as a complete set, including a shower head and hose. This gives you everything you need to take a shower during periods when the central hot water supply is off. The second advantage of the Termex water heater – its price, the most affordable in the category, for which the device is included in the rating of the best. The body is attached to two self-drilling screws, so when not needed the equipment can be easily removed until the next period.

Advantages

• Very compact dimensions 160x260x95 mm;
• easy connection with a hose from a standard faucet in the bathroom (1/2 thread);
• Two variants of colors of the case to match the interior;
• three power levels.

Disadvantages

• The water heater is unpressurized – you can’t leave it under pressure;
• requires a separate wire for power and automatic;
• It must be grounded;
• uninformative instruction.
