For supply hot water and heating a private home, the most popular equipment is a gas water heater. It is available to almost everyone and does not require large expenses. But it is necessary to choose quality equipment. After all, it depends on it comfortable atmosphere in the home and safety. In this article we will consider all the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the features of the Mohr gas water heater.

Gas water heater device

Mohr's geyser is instantaneous water heater. It consists of the following elements: gas burner, water-gas fittings, ignition device and heat exchanger. All elements of equipment are hidden in a small and aesthetic case, along with safety and regulation equipment.

Using a gas burner, safe combustion of gas is ensured, while heating the water in the heat exchanger. After the water tap is closed, the gas supply stops and the burner goes out. Ignition in a gas water heater can be of two types: electric and piezoelectric. In the first type, electric batteries are used to ignite the spark. And in the piezoelectric method, after pressing the button, the igniter is ignited, and from it, in turn, the burner is ignited.

After opening water tap and pressure changes in heating system Ignition is carried out using an ignition device.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Using a Mora gas water heater, you can provide heating to your home, as well as a supply of hot water. The principle of operation is quite simple: after opening the tap, the burner is ignited using the igniter. And it heats the water in the heat exchanger.

The water is heated as it passes through the heat exchanger pipes and enters the heating and hot water supply system. If you close the tap, the burner goes out and the column stops working. The versatility of the Mora gas water heater ensures continuous heating and hot water supply in the house.

The main advantages of the column are its efficiency and small sizes. Other advantages of a gas appliance include:

• No noise during operation.
• The heat exchanger will not leak over time. Because it is made of copper.
• High equipment efficiency. Even if water pressure is from 0.2 atm.
• High efficiency. It reaches 94%.
• The design of the burner is well thought out, as is the protection of the igniter from various contaminants.
• Security system.

The downside is the problem of finding parts for older models. Although the Mora gas water heater is cheaper than its analogues, many note its high cost.

Features of the Mohr geyser

Mora instantaneous water heaters have unique properties and are in demand modern market. The following features can be distinguished in the water heater:

• Thanks to the design of the heat exchanger, the heating rate is 15% higher than that of other manufacturers;
• German high-quality fittings are used, which include a column with a flow rate of 2.5 l/min;
• If the water flow changes, the temperature is automatically maintained;
• The flue neck has a diameter of over 115 mm;
• And the diameter of the tubes is 18 mm. There are turbulators inside the tubes that prevent scale from settling;
• Thanks to the heat exchanger, overheating is prevented;
• The operation of the burners is controlled by a flame fuse;
• A dry start fuse is installed. This means that the burner will not light without water;
• Thanks to the fuse reverse thrust harmful substances they get into the room. Therefore, you can install the water heater anywhere.

The cost of Mora geysers does not exceed the cost of analogues that have lower technical characteristics.

Installation

Before installing the geyser, you must select the location where it will be located. The room must be equipped with high-quality ventilation, and the walls must be made of non-combustible materials. Installing the column is usually not difficult. Let's look at the step-by-step process of installing a Mora gas water heater:

1. First of all, the equipment is attached to the wall.
2. Next, use the standard brackets that are included in the kit.
3. It is necessary to pay attention to the strength of the wall.
4. Next, you can install pipes hot and cold water.
5. It is recommended to install inlet pipes in front of the shut-off valves.
6. It is also advisable to arrange a gasket made of non-combustible material between the device and the wall.
7. Next, the chimney is connected. The diameter of the pipes must be no less than the diameter of the outlet of the device. The chimney must be made of a material that is not affected by high temperature and combustion products.
8. The last point is the gas connection. It is better to entrust such work to specialists.

What to do if the gas water heater does not ignite

Let's consider various solutions if the column stops lighting. The first step is to check for external damage or leaks. The power cable or device case may be damaged. Next, you should check the cold water pressure and the presence of draft in the ventilation. If the speaker is electric, you can replace the batteries.

If you do not understand the design of geysers, then it is better to seek help from specialists.

If all of the above methods did not help, then you need to follow these steps:

1. It is necessary to clean the membrane and filter from various contaminants. To do this, it is enough to wash these elements under high pressure of water.
2. If you notice any ruptures or deformations in the membrane, it must be replaced. The silicone membrane has a longer service life.
3. If the geyser starts to light with a popping sound, but then goes out, then it is necessary to clean the ignition filter.
4. Next, you should replace the solenoid valve.
5. If sparks occur during ignition, but the column does not light up, then it is necessary to clean the ionization sensor electrode.

But do not forget that all procedures can be carried out only after turning off the gas and water. If you have completed all the steps, but the column still does not start to light up, then you should contact a qualified technician.

The Mora water heater can operate on liquefied fuel or natural fuel. The operation of the column can only be disrupted when parts of the device are worn out, there is no draft in the ventilation, or when low-quality tap water is used. Minor faults can be corrected yourself.

Dear ladies and gentlemen, if you have experience with MORA-TOP water heaters, positive or negative, we ask you to leave a short review. Perhaps your review for the future owner.

The Mora geyser is a Czech-made product from the company MORA-TOP, which has been producing heating and hot water equipment. In this review, we suggest looking at the most popular lines of speakers from this brand and learning about them. key characteristics and get acquainted with the opinions of users. This way you can make a conclusion whether it’s worth buying the Mora column or continuing to look for products from another brand.

A little about the company

MORA-TOP began its 185-year history as a subsidiary of MORA MORAVIA AS. And only in 2003 the Mora-Top company became independent. in spring next year Construction of a plant began in the Czech town of Unicov. The capacity occupied 5,000 square meters and was built in less than a year, so that in the spring of 2005 the world saw the first Mora instantaneous gas water heater produced at the new factory.

Today the company has a fully established technological chain for the production of equipment, including:

• Technology for processing copper and manufacturing heat exchangers, as well as stamping, degreasing stage, soldering and painting.
• Production of structural thermoelements.
• Assembly finished products within the assembly line.
• Mandatory testing of devices.

Mora's main speaker lines

Gas water heaters are represented by a number of lines; we will consider the most popular of them, focusing on the characteristics of individual models.

VEGA MAX

VEGA MAX wall-mounted speakers replaced the old Mora devices 370, 371, 5502 and 5502. What is their main advantage: connecting dimensions have not changed, so for those who old column has already served its service life, it will not be difficult to replace it with a new heater.

Suitable for both residential and non-residential premises with a thermal power of 17.3 kW. The consumption is 10 liters per 1 minute.

The heaters are equipped with high quality parts:

• Mertik water and gas fittings are made in Germany.
• Gas and ignition burners, heat exchanger made of Czech-made copper.

Note! Copper pipes The water heating apparatus is distinguished by a large diameter of 18 mm and a thick wall of 1 mm.

These devices are equipped with automatic support for water temperature, without reference to its volume. There are options with both piezo ignition and electric ignition (from two R20 1.5 V batteries).

All gas appliances are highly safe, so if there is no water flow, gas valve does not work and combustion products will not penetrate into the room.

VEGA

The wall-mounted heater Mora Vega 10 and its “brothers” from the “Vega” line are positioned by the manufacturer as a completely new “star product”.

Interesting! The manufacturer’s website mysteriously states that Vega 10 is one of three bright stars (most likely, we are talking about three versions - 10, 13 and 16) that make up the summer-autumn triangle, and its brightness is many times greater than that of the Sun .

Minimum dimensions combined with ultra-modern design solution housings, complemented by impeccable heater parameters, make these boilers one of the best among analogues that are on the market today.

Advantages of the line

• modest dimensions;
• ease of technical and user maintenance;
• full automatic operation;
• saving resources up to 10%;
• Efficiency up to 92%;
• the most economical way to provide hot water supply (DHW);
• smooth regulation of power modes;
• maintaining user-selected water temperature.

Device dimensions

• Height: for VEGA 10 - 59.2 cm, for 12 and 16 - 65.9 cm.
• Width: for VEGA 10 - 32 cm, for 13 and 16 - 40 cm.
• Depth: for VEGA 10 - 26.1 cm, in versions 13 and 16 - similar.

These are one of the most compact water heaters on the market, which also have the smallest diameter smoke channel, being only 11 cm.

Comfort level

• Flow-through heaters "Vega" 10, operating on gas, are equipped with German fittings, thanks to which the equipment starts up with a water flow of only 2.5 liters in 1 minute.
• This fitting provides for automatic maintenance of specified water temperature levels, which is especially important when the pressure (pressure) in the water supply network is unstable.

Economy parameters

Columns such as Vega 10 have some of the highest efficiency rates in the world - almost 92%. A small but quite effective heat exchanger warms up the incoming water 15% faster than any similar device from another brand.

Reliability

Design solutions and innovations ensure the maximum degree of reliability of all MORA TOP units:

• The moving parts of the device are fenced off from the water environment, so leaks in less dense joints are excluded. In other devices, leaks are possible, which necessitates replacing the entire gas-water unit, and this costs a lot of money - sometimes up to half the cost of the entire device.
• Inside the heat exchanger, there are turbulators in the tubes that push scale away from the walls of the unit, thereby accelerating heating and extending the operating life of the device.
• The diameter of the heat exchanger tubes, equal to 18 mm, not only prevents salts from settling on the walls, but also helps to cool the walls of the entire unit, eliminating overheating of the casing.

Security Settings

For safety reasons, the following points and design features are provided:

• Limiter of water overheating in the heat exchanger.
• Backdraft fuse for combustion products - it will prevent waste from entering the room if the chimney becomes clogged.
• A special flame fuse that ensures the serviceability of both burners (main and pilot).
• If there is no water flow, the device will not start the burner.

Additionally

Also, the units of the series are equipped with some technical solutions to make it easier to use:

• Piezoelectric ignition.
• The removal of waste combustion products through a chimney with a minimum neck diameter (gas) of only 11.5 cm.
• Possibility of using natural gas.

Note! Units with the prefix “E” in their names, for example 10 E, are equipped with electric ignition.

• Fittings from the German manufacturer Mertik. At a flow rate of 2.5 liters per minute or more, the column starts to turn on.

Pay attention! The market price of most models does not exceed 16 thousand rubles.* The consumer properties of the Mora dispenser are higher compared to existing analogues.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Heating a home and hot water supply are two main issues that can be resolved by any buyer who decides to purchase gas water heaters. Cost-effectiveness and compact dimensions are among the main positive aspects devices.

There are other characteristics that can attract buyers:

• The security system that Mora Top speakers are equipped with.
• High quality burner design. The igniter is completely protected from any contamination and damage.
• High efficiency, reaching 94% under any circumstances.
• Equipment works efficiently. Even pressure up to 0.2 atmospheres does not prevent the creation of such an effect in the Mora gas instantaneous water heater.
• Over time, heat exchangers do not leak. This is facilitated by the use of copper as one of the main materials.
• No noise when operating the Mora water heater.

Interesting! The disadvantage is that it is difficult to find parts for some models. Especially if they were released quite a long time ago. Mora gas water heaters are cheaper than existing analogues, but some buyers consider existing prices too high.

Installation of geysers Mora Top

Mora geysers are instantaneous water heaters. There are not many main elements in the design:

1. A heat exchanger, which is responsible for heating the liquid inside.
2. Ignition device.
3. Water and gas fittings.
4. Gas burner. The Top models are also equipped with it.

Together with safety and operational adjustment equipment, the above components are placed in one housing.

Important! A gas burner makes the gas combustion process as safe as possible. At the same time, the water in the heat exchanger warms up to the desired temperature. The gas supply stops after the water supply is turned off. In this case, the gas also goes out.

Ignition in a gas water heater is supported in two types: piezoelectric or conventional electric. Electric batteries serve as a source of heat in the first case. The piezoelectric method assumes that the igniter is first lit, and then the burner is ignited.

Ignition occurs with the opening of the water tap and a change in pressure in the heating system. This rule also applies to the Vega series.

Popular models

Most buyers do not think about the quality of geysers from this manufacturer. This parameter is rarely in doubt, confirming its reliability in practice.

The main series are represented by several modifications:

• "10-E Max", "10-MAX", "10-E", "MORA VEGA 10". Such options operate at a power of up to 17.3 kW. 5-10 liters per minute is the standard speed for water treatment. An improved version of the Vega modifications that existed previously. Cost from 19 thousand rubles and above.*
• "13-E", "VEGA-13". Power increased to 22.6 kW. The heating intensity of the boiler is from 6 to 13 liters per minute. This model will already cost 25 thousand rubles or more.*
• "16", "16-E". The power indicator already reaches 26.4 kW. With a water heating efficiency of 8-15 liters per minute. Costs 27 thousand rubles or more.*

If you purchase a version with electric ignition, over time you will need to install several new batteries, you also need to remember this. All of these models are wall-mounted.

Pay attention! When turning on 2-3 mixers, one wall-mounted unit is quite enough for efficient work. The cases of all versions remain small.

Installation and operation of Mora Top geysers

The room and installation location are the most important parameters, which should be decided upon before installing the unit. The main thing is that there is ventilation inside the room. And the walls must be made of material that does not support combustion. Usually the setting remains simple process, which consists of just a few steps:

1. The device is attached to the wall. You can use the standard brackets included in the package. The strength and flammability of the wall at this stage are the most important points. Including when everything will light up.
2. Pipe connections for cold and hot water. It is advisable to mount shut-off valves in front of the pipes connected to the entrance.
3. Chimney connection. The main thing is that the diameter of the pipes is no less than the diameter of the outlet of the device. The chimney also needs to be built from materials that are resistant to even open fire. At the same time, the length is kept at a minimum level.
4. All that remains is to connect the main gas pipeline. It is recommended that such procedures be trusted only to specialists with relevant practical experience.

As for operation, you only need to turn on the unit and set the appropriate temperature. There are two special handles on the front panel of the device. The main control handle has only four positions:

• Off state when the speaker is disabled.
• Ignition, with ignition of the pilot burner.
• The pilot burner is ready to burn.
• Operation, normal position in automatic mode.

Pay attention! High reliability and a service life of at least 12 years are characteristic of any burners included in model range. Customer reviews will confirm that failure occurs extremely rarely. And finding spare parts is not difficult.

Possible malfunctions and ways to eliminate them

It is better to contact the services immediately service center, If warranty period It's not over yet. In almost all major cities representatives of the company from the Czech Republic are working. Here are a few problems that users encounter most often:

1. The water doesn't heat up well. Most often this is due to incorrect settings. You need to look for special recommendations and tables. Usually manufacturers themselves give suitable advice.
2. The wick goes out when the heater is working normally.

A common cause is insufficient traction. The condition of the chimney ducts is checked first. The water heater is accurately installed with irregularities, if the pipe is clean, but the draft sensor still works. This means that there is not enough oxygen in the boiler room for normal operation. The problem can be solved by installing a supply and exhaust valve. The main thing is not to choose bad cheap analogues.

1. Presence of a leak.

Most likely it was torn rubber membrane at the water reducer. Corrosion eats away at the heat exchanger. It is recommended to install copper coils in areas of leaks.

1. The main burner does not turn on. Sometimes Thor models also suffer from this.

This usually happens when the batteries run out. Or due to poor water pressure, lack of oxygen indoors in sufficient volumes.

Pay attention! Failure of the water unit gearbox is also a common failure. Inside the block there are rubber gaskets that quickly break due to water pressure. On average, the membrane needs to be changed every 5-8 years.

Service centers, official stores - optimal places to purchase spare parts for geysers. Then as consumables there is no doubt.

If it so happens that there is no hot water supply in your house, but there is gas, then you need a gas water heater to heat the water. Experts from Price Expert analyzed the models of geysers that buyers were most interested in at the beginning of 2019, and selected the 10 best. Now you will learn about them. But first, let's choose a manufacturer.

Which brand of geyser is better?

The leading positions in popularity, reliability and build quality today are occupied by gas water heaters Czech manufacturer Mora Top. Its products never stay in stores for long, and therefore sometimes you just need to have time to place an order. Among foreign manufacturers of geysers, the always popular brands Bosch and Ariston do not lag behind. Products with a good price-quality ratio are offered on the Russian market by Zanussi and Hyundai. The best domestic manufacturers are traditionally represented by gas water heaters of the Neva and Ladogaz brands.

Useful tips to ensure long and reliable operation of geysers

1. Installation and connection must be carried out by qualified personnel. Often the quality of its operation depends on how the gas water heater is configured.
2. It is necessary to regularly clean the igniter and heat exchanger from combustion products (it is strange to blame the column for blockages). This will significantly extend the “lifespan” of the device.
3. In old houses with too low water pressure in the system, it is better to install special pumps. With stable water pressure, automatic start-up occurs without problems, and the heating temperature will be maintained more correctly.
4. Must be observed important recommendations from the manufacturer as specified in the user manual
