Given the regular breakthroughs and preventive work with hot pipelines, the rational solution will be the acquisition of a gas column. In addition, this method of obtaining hot water as a result, with a detailed count, it turns out to be very profitable financially. This can be explained quite easily: gas tariffs are significantly lower than hot water.

How to choose a column?

To solve the issue of acquiring a gas column, approximately several criteria for qualitative and technical nature.
Among qualitative indicators, we note:

• manufacturer's reliability
• quality of configuration
• build quality.

Important! Choose the equipment of proven stamps, with a decent warranty term and the presence of relevant certificates. Otherwise - the possibility of very grave consequences, the threat to your life in case of failures during operation.

Specifications

1. Power. This principle distinguish 3 categories. When you wiring for several water points, pay attention to the equipment with a power index in 24 kW, with the planned small costs at one point - a 19 kW is quite enough. In addition, the principle of power adjustment is important, the most convenient when branching into several points is automatic.
   

   Important! Take into account when choosing not consumed the power, which is spelled out in a suggestion, but useful.
2. The principle of ignition. The manual method has long been irrelevant. Today it is primarily a piezoe, the mechanism of which is started by pressing the button and the electronic, the operation of which is performed using a galvanic element. The latter is considered the most advanced, but also the price of its significantly higher.
3. The method of removal of combustion products. Preference to a closed turbocharged type when installing a gas column in the apartment of a multi-storey house, with a lack of ability to equip chimney. Atmospheric apparatus, the cost of which is lower for the installation of the gas column in the private building house with its own chimney.
4. Additional functions. It is they who determine the level of use of use. The most important:
   • traction sensor - regulates gas supply according to the quality of the exhaust process
   • thermocouple - regulates gas supply depending on availability or lack of smelled
   • hydraulic valve - prevents overheating column
