1.2 ADVICE FOR CUSTOMERS
1.2.1 HOT WATER CONSUMPTION
Consumption of hot water in households depends on the number of people,
amount of sanitary equipment, length, diameter and insulation of piping in the flat,
or on individual habits of users. The cheapest option of water heating comes at the time
when the electricity rate is reduced.
Find out in what time intervals your electricity supplier provides reduced tariff and,
depending on that information, select relevant volume and power input of the heater so that
your hot water consumption covered the needs of your household.
1.2.2 ENERGY SAVING
Hot utility water reservoir is insulated by means of top-quality polyurethane foam with zero
CFCs content. Adjust the temperature of the heater's thermostat to that level only that you
need to run your home. Thus you will reduce electricity consumption, as well as the amount
of lime sediments on the walls of the receptacle and on the heat exchanger.
1.2.3 EMERGENCY POWER CONSUMPTION
If no heated water is taken from the tank, a small amount of heat leaks. This loss is
measured for a period of 24 hours at the temperature of 65°C in the heater, and at 20°C
in its ambient area. The resulting value is expressed in units [kWh/24h] and indicates
the amount of power needed to maintain the set temperature.
