Repair of TERMEX water heater. Part 2
Connecting a Termex water heater to water
To replace the heater, you need to unscrew the colored wires - yellow, red and blue. Carefully remove the thermostat and sensors. Automatic protection switches on; When the device is turned on, the plugs on the meter are knocked out; The water does not heat up or the water heats up very poorly; The water heater begins to hiss, the water comes out not clean, but cloudy. Thin boilers have two cylindrical tanks connected to each other using Double Tank technology.
The connection diagram for an electric heater must be made with one wire composition.
Having taken out the heating element W, we discovered that it was completely missing a magnesium anode. The coils overheat and burn out. The power regulator also performs an additional shutdown function at a certain heating temperature. Before connecting, it is very important to check the wiring in the entire apartment and evaluate its capabilities: the size of the wire cross-section, what it is made of, the maximum load on the wire.
Installing a boiler The first step is to fix the heater on a load-bearing wall, taking into account the fairly large weight of the equipment. Operation of the Thermex water heater
The procedure for connecting storage water heaters
To install the boiler, you need to choose a place where hot water is needed more often, and the distribution to the point of selection will be short. Each model is designed for horizontal or vertical installation, as indicated in the passport and on the markings. It is better to entrust the installation of the structure to the wall, setting the operating modes, and proper connection to the electrical network to specialists.
How to connect a Termex water heater with your own hands? In this case, you must strictly follow the instructions for connecting the device. You must have:
- Thermex water heater;
- anchor fasteners;
- pipes for distribution;
- flanges, pipes, fasteners.
Attach the water heater to the wall according to the diagram.
and this should be taken into account; on water heaters, the supports are not placed horizontally and vertically, but are commensurate with the center of gravity of the device. Therefore, it is necessary to drill holes for the anchors in exact accordance with the heels of the tank. After strengthening the main structure on the wall, they begin piping the water heater with water wiring. Particular attention must be paid to the condition of electrical networks. How to connect a Termex water heater to the network can be seen in the diagram. The heater requires a separate line, and the outlet should be located on the side of the device.
Until the tank is completely filled with water, keep the plug of the device in a packaged form, so as not to accidentally turn it on dry. The first connection to the network is made after filling the container and checking the tightness of the connections. The tank is considered full when water comes out of the drain under pressure.
The water heater is supplied with a cord with a grounding plug. There is a contact point for grounding on the body of the device. The circuit includes an RCD that turns off the device in the event of a malfunction or micro-leakage in the network.
The temperature setting must be carried out following the instructions for connecting the device.
Installation and connection of the boiler to the network
Under no circumstances should the ground wire be connected to the neutral wire. The device comes with a standard cord and plug for connecting to the mains. In normal condition, when the Termex is hanging correctly, the intake tube hole inside the tank enters in the upper quarter, and the inlet pipe in the lower quarter.
To correct this drawback, you need to remove them and give them the desired shape, and also slightly bore the holes for the bolts.
Installing a boiler The first step is to fix the heater on a load-bearing wall, taking into account the fairly large weight of the equipment. Such devices do not require special installation, as they operate from a regular outlet. The device cannot withstand thermal conditions. What affects the heating temperature of water? This design feature allows you to change the lateral tilt of the case by simply moving the bottom point of the drive. But this is only provided that the water in the system meets the necessary standards and does not contain a large amount of impurities and heavy elements, and that the installation, operation and timely maintenance rules are followed when using the device. Electrical diagram for connecting a water heater through a socket connected to a cable laid from the switchboard: The difavtomat can perfectly replace a combination of an RCD and a circuit breaker.
Unscrew the drain valve5. Also, the operating instructions for the equipment must include an electrical diagram of the water heater and a network connection diagram. Installing a boiler The first step is to fix the heater on a load-bearing wall, taking into account the fairly large weight of the equipment. Most often, the design of a water heater has two thermostats: the first controls the heating of water, and the second monitors the condition of the first.
If necessary, replace it with a fresh one. Failure to carry out cleaning work will lead to a decrease in operating efficiency and a decrease in the level of efficiency. Note that the manufacturer has established a minimum service life of a Termex water heater of seven years.
It is capable of being shaped and is not afraid of temperature changes. If the brackets are held for some time, the characteristic will change quickly. The valve is often included with the water heater, but it can also be purchased separately. Experts say that using a regular check valve is highly undesirable. When installing these elements with your own hands, turn the thread no more than once, otherwise you will damage the pipe. Connection diagram of the boiler to the water supply

The internal structure of the water heater is made using Double Tank technology, which implies the presence of two tanks inside the device, thereby making it possible to give the water heater body a more compact size. The material used for the manufacture of internal tanks is G.5 stainless steel containing titanium, which has excellent anti-corrosion properties and can ensure long-term and reliable operation of the water heater. Thermostat sensors, thermal switch and heating element are installed on a removable flange.
The free space between the body and the internal tanks is filled with polyurethane foam, which has excellent heat-saving characteristics and is environmentally friendly, modern thermal insulation.
There is an RCD on the power cable that protects the device.
Installation
The operating instructions contain a sufficient amount of information so that even an untrained user can independently install and connect the water heater (the operating instructions contain a diagram for connecting the device to the water supply system).
To ensure maximum reduction of heat loss, it is recommended that water heaters be installed as close as possible to the place where hot water is used. When choosing an installation location, it is also necessary to take into account the weight of the device with filled tanks, and it is highly not recommended to install the device on walls with low load-bearing capacity.
The boiler must be suspended by brackets on the body, which sit on anchor hooks pre-installed in the wall. Also, when choosing a place to install the water heater, you should remember that the distance from the bottom cover to the nearest surface must be at least 30 centimeters. This requirement must be met so that the user has the opportunity to service the device without removing it from the wall.
It is necessary to take care in advance about the availability of drills; in particular, the complete anchors come with a 16-diameter diameter.
If all the wiring is pre-prepared, the water heater installation process takes about half an hour.

Of course, you can’t do without Yandex Alice, which allows you to control the device using voice commands. The list of commands is quite large; the user can perform any action, including asking Alice to turn off the device after 10 minutes, set any temperature, etc.
In order to connect to this service, you first need to add the water heater to the list of devices. To do this, you will need to link the Yandex Alice application (devices) and the Thermex Home application. After the procedure is completed, all functionality becomes available to the user.
Exploitation
After the device is installed and connected to the water supply system, it is necessary to turn off the hot water supply tap, then open the cold water supply valve to the water heater, then the tap at the hot water outlet from the water heater and the hot water tap on the mixer. Performing these actions will cause air to drain from the boiler and fill its tanks with cold water. After the tanks are completely filled from the mixer, a stream of cold water will flow.
After the water heater tank is filled, the device is completely ready for use and can be connected to the electrical network.
THERMEX IF 80 V pro Wi-Fi has electronic control with touch, smooth adjustment in the range of up to +75°C degrees. If the water temperature exceeds +95°C, the thermal switch will operate, which will prevent overheating of the water heater and turn off the device.
The user has access to several operating modes, which differ in the heating power of the heating elements, and, as a result, in the time intervals required to heat water at a given temperature.
Turbo - the device operates at a power of 2 kW. The default temperature for this operating mode is +75°C. The time required to heat water, the temperature of which is +33°C to +75°C, is 1 hour 45 minutes. Water heated to this temperature allows two or three people to shower. Using this mode is most optimal if you need to quickly heat the water to the maximum temperature.
Optimal - the device operates at a power of 1.3 kW. The default temperature for this operating mode is +65°C. The time required to heat water whose temperature is +15°C to a temperature of +65°C is 2 hours 46 minutes. The mode is called optimal for a reason. At this temperature, scale forms on heating elements much more slowly than in other operating modes, which in turn means that the device can be serviced much less frequently. Moreover, heating to this temperature prevents fungi and bacteria from developing inside the tank.
Economy – the most economical operating mode of the device, with a power of 0.7 kW. In this mode, the default heating temperature is +55°C. The time required for the device to heat water, the initial temperature of which is +32°C to +55°C, is 3 hours 7 minutes. This mode is very comfortable, because the temperature of the hot water supply should be (should be) in the range from +50°C to +60°C. At the same time, you need to understand that from time to time it is necessary to heat the water in the tank to at least +65°C in order to prevent the formation of bacteria inside the tank. The volume of the tank is quite enough for one or two people to take a comfortable shower.
No Frost – device operating mode in which the water temperature is maintained at +10°C, which allows you to leave the device in cold rooms, unattended and prevents the formation of ice.
Special attention is paid to the manual control, which allows the user to set the required water temperature when the device is operating in any of the modes. In fact, you can set the “Turbo” mode, while setting the maximum temperature to +55°C. A very convenient feature. The adjustment range is from +30°C to +75°C.
An important indicator is how long the device can maintain temperature without heating. To do this, the device was completely filled with water, and in Turbo mode the water was heated to a temperature of +75°C, after which the power supply was stopped. The dynamics of temperature changes are presented in the graph below.
Some users use water heaters in the countryside and in the country, which are not heated in winter. To ensure the safety of the device, you just need to make sure that the room temperature does not fall below +10°C. If this requirement is met, all that needs to be done is to drain the water from the tanks and disconnect the device from the water supply system. This procedure is sufficient to preserve the device in winter.
The ability to control a water heater using a mobile application is very important and convenient. The user at any time has the opportunity to turn on or turn off the device and know the temperature of the water inside the tank. Moreover, it is possible to set a timer, or create a scenario for the device, depending on a number of external factors.

It is recommended to install a pressure reducer on the cold water pipe. It will regulate the inlet pressure.
At the outlet, water will be supplied at constant pressure. This device is important when installing a boiler in multi-story buildings, where the pressure in the water supply system fluctuates.
After the installation of the water supply is completed, you need to open the tap to supply water to the tank. After it is filled, well-heated water should come out of the tap.
At this stage, the tightness of all connections is checked.
Boiler device
Before we begin repairing the boiler with our own hands, let’s look at the design features. The design of the water heater is quite simple, the main components are as follows:
Diagram of the Termex water heater
- body made of steel sheet with stainless steel coating;
- Inner tank made of alloy steel, durable and corrosion resistant;
- the steel flange is a platform on which the elements of the device are attached: heating element, magnesium anode, thermostat;
- a large magnesium anode is a metal rod that is coated with a magnesium alloy; Thus, the element reduces the corrosive activity of water, protecting the tank and increasing the durability of the water heater ;
- stainless steel tube for releasing hot water;
- thermal insulation made of high-density polyurethane foam;
- The heating element, which, in fact, heats the water;
- a thermostat that acts as an auto-regulator of water temperature (turns off the boiler when the water is heated, and vice versa);
- cold water supply tube made of stainless steel.
Answers to frequently asked questions about Termex water heater buttons
All storage water heaters (boilers) operate on the same principle and have a similar design.
This is what the electrical circuit of the most common Termex electric water heater with mechanical control looks like:
As can be seen from the diagram, there is nothing complicated in the design of the device.
- The operation of two heating elements is regulated through a simple control panel, which has heating control and monitoring devices.
- Thermostats installed inside the flask allow you to smoothly regulate the temperature in the range from +7 to +75 degrees.
- When the water in the storage tank cools down, the heating elements come back into operation.
What to do if the Thermex water heater does not turn on?
First you need to determine the cause of the problem. As practice shows, there may be several of them.
Here are the most common:
- The socket is faulty, there is no voltage in the 220 V network. To check this, just connect any other working electrical device to the socket;
- The integrity of the power wires is broken, there is no contact at the terminals of the heating element;
- The on/off button itself is faulty. In this case, replacing the ON/OFF buttons on the water heater will help solve the problem;
- The thermal protection button of the water heater was activated, opening the electrical circuit. Thermal protection allows you to prevent overheating of water if for some reason the thermostat does not work. To start the boiler, you need to press the hidden thermal protection button. It is located directly on the thermostat block;
- The residual current device (RCD) has tripped. If the RCD is triggered once, you can reset the emergency shutdown button of the water heater by pressing the red switch located on the device itself. If a repeated shutdown occurs, this indicates the presence of serious defects and the need to repair the electrical appliance.
You can check the performance of the heating elements using a tester (measuring resistance). A damaged heating element cannot be repaired, but you can always purchase a new heating element and replace it.

Use and main malfunctions
Fifty-liter models are usually used for domestic purposes in apartments. This volume is enough for regular use by two people. If the installation is done correctly, then it is easy to figure out how to use such a water heater.
We open the valves, wait for the water to fill, turn on the device and set the desired temperature. After about an hour and a half, the water will heat up. If you are leaving for a short time, there is no need to drain the water, just close all the valves and turn off the power to the device.
Most often, two elements fail - the heating element and the tank. The heating element may become deformed or rust. To prevent this from happening, you need to descale it once a year. The tank is susceptible to corrosion as it is constantly in contact with water. To extend the service life, magnesium anodes are installed inside the flange. They are changed every six months.
Water heater heating element
Also, from time to time, water is drained from the safety valve in order to check its functionality and drain the sediment. It is important to do this once every three months. If you maintain your boiler on time, it will last much longer.
An electric storage water heater, or, in simple terms, a boiler, has long been firmly established in our lives, providing additional comfort and allowing us not to depend on public hot water supply systems. This simple device automatically maintains the required water temperature, while having a certain supply. Industrially produced devices have a variety of shapes, sizes and external designs. Despite the apparent differences, basically all water heaters have a similar design and a single operating principle. However, when making a choice between one or another boiler model, you should not only understand how it works, but also understand the design features of some of its components.
