Installing water heaters (boilers) in Phuket is an important step to ensure a stable hot water supply in the house. Electric boilers are most often used on the island, the installation of which does not cause difficulties if the basic requirements are met.
It is recommended to install the boiler as close as possible to the water source, be it a well, borehole or other body of water. This arrangement minimizes heat loss when hot water is supplied to the points of consumption. It is important to take into account the indoor conditions: humidity should not exceed 70-80%, and the air temperature should be in the range from +5 °C to +35 °C. Direct sunlight on the boiler should be avoided to avoid premature wear of the equipment. In case of unstable power supply, protective devices must be provided to avoid breakdowns.
Wall-mounted boiler mounts must withstand a load three times the weight of a fully water-filled device. The hot water outlet pipeline must be designed for a temperature of at least +80 °C. Metal—plastic or durable plastic pipes are usually used, which ensure the reliability and durability of the system.
Installation begins by connecting the coupling to the cold water flange, then installing a drain valve and an overpressure relief device (maximum 0.8 MPa or 8 bar). The exact installation scheme is developed by a specialist, which allows you to determine the required amount of materials and equipment.
Before connecting the boiler to the mains, it is important to disconnect the house from the power supply and provide a separate outlet exclusively for the water heater. The use of carriers and splitters is not recommended, while it is necessary to ensure high-quality grounding without the use of metal pipes and elements.
It is better to entrust the boiler start-up to an experienced specialist in order to avoid mistakes and damage to the equipment.
