Hotpoint-Ariston PRO ECO 50V DRY HE

Made by a well-known European brand-manufacturer of home appliances. Hope it lasts longer than the previous one. Has electronic control. When using the "Eco" mode, this saves energy and extends the life of the tubular electric heaters. These same heating elements in it are not installed simple, but the so-called. "dry". That is, the heating element does not fall into the water directly, but heats it through the wall of a special flask. It is said that such a scheme prolongs their service life. We'll see, time will tell. There is an anti-bacteria function. Now there is no musty smell from the water from the boiler even with long breaks in its use. The electronic thermometer more or less correctly shows the temperature in the tank.

Antibacterial enamel, which protects the surface of the steel tank from corrosion, contains silver ions and gives an antibacterial effect. In addition to this, the electronic control system heats the water to the maximum temperature once every three weeks so that the water in the boiler does not stagnate and does not acquire an unpleasant odor even after a long period of inactivity. Dry heating elements. Such a heater does not accumulate scale and, due to this, its service life is many times longer than that of classic heating elements. But even if they fail, the water heater does not need to be disassembled to replace them. Electronic control, high-precision electronic thermometer with two sensors. A clever system of cold water distribution along the bottom of the tank, which minimizes mixing and noticeably increases the output of hot water. Good thermal insulation with a thick layer of foamed polyurethane. After a good warm-up, warm water from the boiler can be used for at least another day. Made in Italy.

In the old boiler, after long periods of disuse, the water would spoil and develop an unpleasant smell. This doesn't happen in this model for two reasons: first, the silver-containing coating inside the storage tank prevents this, and second, the electronic controls allow you to set up automatic antimicrobial treatment of the tank with high-temperature water. The point of this treatment is that every thirty days, the boiler heats the water to a temperature of over 70 degrees and maintains it for some time, effectively pasteurizing the water. Another fundamental difference from the old models is the use of safe and long-lasting dry heating elements. Plus, electronic control is a significant advantage on its own. The words "self-learning software of the boiler" sounded like a line from a science fiction novel twelve years ago, but today it's a feature of a regular household appliance. Besides this clever program, the electronics more accurately maintain the water temperature and allow an additional saving of 5-7% in electricity.
