One of the first question to ponder over when you are up to buy a water heater is which to choose between a direct water heater and indirect water heater. Selecting a water heater that suit one’s needs, budget and bathroom space is a painstaking concern for many customers. Below information from Frisch may be helpful for you to make your choice!
1. Direct water heater A direct water heater heats water without the use of an internal water tank. The water is quickly heated by the dip rod, then directly brought to the tap for immediate use. The pros and cons of direct water heater are as follows:
✔ Advantages: - Small footprint design, not taking up your bathroom space. Suitable for small and medium-sized bathrooms. Easy and simple installation. - Variety of exterior designs and manufacturers - No waiting time for water to heat up. - Integrated features such as: anti-shock circuit breaker, sensor, temperature control, water pressure relay, etc., ensure the maximum safety for users. ✔ Disadvantages: - Stop working in case of power outage - Require a stable and strong voltage - Limited durability. - Unsuitable for large families - Maximum heating temperature is 45 - 55 degrees C, therefore it is not suitable for very cold environments.
2. Indirect water heater Indirect water heater uses an internal water tank to heat the water to a pre-set temperature after 5 - 15 minutes.
✔ Advantages: - Large tank capacity of 15L to 100L, meeting a wide variety of use purposes. - Allow ceil-recessed installation to save space and increase interior aesthetics. - One water heater can serve many areas such as: washbasin, bathtub, ... - Highly durable, one heating time for multiple uses; Usable under low power supply, allow switching off during use. - Integrate with modern technologies such as: smart Wi-Fi for connection and remote control; temperature customization for family members - A synchronous safety system with ELCB, high-precision thermal stabilizer, and efficient power saving.
✔ Disadvantages: - Long heating time. Require a long pre-timing - Large size, unsuitable for small bathrooms. - Complicated installation with separate hot and cold water pipes.
3. So, which should we go for? Direct or indirect water heater?
Depending on your use frequency
Small families with low or moderate demand for hot water should choose direct water heaters to save money
Families of 4 or more should buy indirect water heaters, which can serve the whole family just by one heating time, so as to save energy.
Depending on your usage
If you use hot water for the bathtub and bathroom sink, choose large indirect water heaters.
If you have a small bathroom, choose a direct water heater
Select an indirect water heater if the installation area is cold
Use direct water heaters with booster pump in areas with low water pressure, otherwise indirect water heaters for a stable output
Choose indirect water heaters if you desire the comfort and Wi-Fi-based remote control technology.
