A gas water heater is a necessary device in any apartment. It doesn’t need much time to heat the water and does the job very quickly. First of all, you need to remember that a geyser, like any device with gas, is a high-risk device. It ensures the supply of hot water to the house as a result of gas combustion.
After installation, you need to know how to properly start the gas water heater.
How does a gas water heater work?
Any user must understand how a gas water heater works. This is necessary for correct and safe use.
The speaker contains a metal casing, as well as:
The device can be installed both in the kitchen and in any non-residential premises with a ceiling height of at least two meters. In addition, the ventilation in the room must work properly.
Important! It is prohibited to place a gas water heater above the stove.
Gas devices of the Beretta, Electrolux and Neva brands operate in the same way:
- When turned on, water enters the system;
- Due to pressure, the membrane stretches and opens the gas supply valve;
- The burner is ignited, which begins to heat the liquid circulating through the heat exchanger;
- Combustion products are removed through the chimney and ventilation.
There is an opinion that installing a geyser is unsafe. This was during the time of using a device with manual ignition. Currently, the devices have sensors that control water heating and draft in order to prevent an emergency. However, do not forget about safety rules.
If you notice the smell of gas in your apartment, you must:
- Close the gas supply valve;
- Open window;
- Do not turn on electrical devices until the room no longer smells of gas;
- Contact the gas service.

The technical data sheet specifies the following operational safety requirements; if they are met, the manufacturer guarantees proper operation of the device for at least 10 years.
Do not cover the device with papers, cloth or other foreign objects that may interfere with the air flow.
Other operating requirements:
- If you smell gas in the room where the Beretta speaker is located, do not turn on the device under any circumstances, and if it is already running, turn it off, open the window and call the emergency gas service.
- It is prohibited for small children to use the device, as well as persons who are not informed about the principle of operation of the device.
- It is not allowed to use or store the speaker in a room where the air temperature drops below 0 degrees.
Regulatory requirements for placement:
- The room must have good ventilation, both direct and indirect from the adjacent room, which should not be a bedroom, nor a common area, is allowed.
Forced ventilation in the kitchen - The room where the device is installed must have an area of at least 8 square meters
Terms of use
If the column is open type, then you should adhere to the following recommendations:
- When installing the speaker, you should take care of ventilation;
- It is strictly forbidden to turn on the device if there is no draft in the chimney;
- There is no need to leave the device on if no one is at home;
- You cannot change the design yourself;
- There is no need to leave the valve open if the burner is not lit.
Important! Only a professional can reinstall a geyser.
How to ignite the device
After the device has been installed, the gas water heater is started for the first time. First of all, open the water and gas supply taps. Then, the column is turned on, presented in three ways.
Manually
This method was used in older type columns. You can start the gas water heater only with matches. Fireplace matches are considered the best option for ignition.
In this case, the following actions are performed:
- Open the tap on the water pipe related to the column;
- Turn the gas supply valve;
- The wick is lit with matches;
- The fuel supply valve is turned and the water temperature is adjusted using a special lever.
Reference! The device cannot be turned off until the tap is closed manually.
It is not difficult to light an old gas water heater. Switching off is done exactly the opposite. First of all, you need to turn off the wick, turn off the gas, and then turn off the water.
It is worth working with the old type samples very carefully. Otherwise, an explosion, device failure, or gas leak will occur.
Using piezo ignition
A semi-automatic device with no batteries, having mechanical switches in the form of handles. To ignite it, you need to get a spark.
The following manipulations are performed:
- Open the fuel transfer;
- Clamp the solenoid valve for twenty seconds to obtain a decent amount of gas for the flame;
- Press the piezo ignition key;
- As soon as the wick lights up, set the required indicators on the temperature regulator.
Scale formation in the heat exchanger.
This can be determined if the water in the column is not warmed up enough, or if the water pressure at the outlet of the device is low, although the pressure in the water main is quite strong. This breakdown is associated with the low quality of tap water, or more precisely with its hardness.
This problem leads to a significant increase in gas consumption for heating. Deposits can be reduced by lowering the set heating temperature; when heated to more than 70 degrees, it happens much faster. To repair your device, you can resort to store-bought plaque removers, which are expensive; their frequent use is also not recommended, or use a solution with citric acid (100 grams of acid per half liter of water).
Cleaning can be done in two ways:
- Using a special apparatus. This is a reservoir with a pump built into it that drives the cleaning liquid inside the heat exchanger. It is connected to the radiator tubes at the inlet and outlet. Water circulates inside for an hour, dissolving the deposits that have formed. However, not everyone has the opportunity to purchase such a device due to its high cost; there is a cheaper method.
- Drain the water from the system, remove the radiator, and prepare a tank filled one-third with water. Immerse the radiator in it and fill it with a purchased or prepared reagent. Place on the fire and boil for half an hour, then turn off the heat and let stand for an hour. Rinse the radiator; if the pressure has changed, the plaque has gone away; if it remains small, repeat the procedure again.
Mandatory Precautions
When switching on, safety precautions are important. Ignition of the wick or burner is carried out using the instruction manual.
What you need to know:
- Advanced devices have several levels of protection. The work happens automatically. There are no special rules for use. The wick is lit after opening the hot water tap.
- Old models of geysers have problems in use. These include ignition with matches and the inclusion of brands with piezo ignition.
- You should not operate the device “at random”; the instructions for the device should be read first.
- It is forbidden to change the design of the column with your own hands.
- Do not light the device if there is no draft or if there is reverse draft.
Is your BERETTA gas water heater broken?
Italian Beretta geysers have long been known in Russia and are quite popular among those who have used this equipment. Beretta Idrobagno series and Aqua series speakers are produced in several power and ignition options, including varieties of Beretta speakers with a closed combustion chamber. Beretta gas water heaters are distinguished by the reliability of their structural elements and stable operation when water or gas pressure drops. Long-term use of a water heater from this company shows a number of malfunctions: failure of the device due to clogging of the igniter, which affects the column turning on and off during operation; no spark after opening the water tap. All these signs indicate wear of the control unit.
The main malfunctions of BERETTA geysers can be the following: 1. the igniter does not light (when the button is released, it goes out, in the case of piezo ignition);
2.
when turned on, there is a clap;
the main burner does not light up
(in case of piezo ignition);
3
.
during operation of the column, the main and ignition burners are switched off
;
4
.
the column does not reach the desired hot water temperature
;
5. lack of spark
when opening a hot water tap;
6. the column turns off
after ignition in 1-2 seconds;
7. there is a spark, but does not ignite (in the case of electronic ignition)

The Beretta speaker is a product of the Italian corporation RIELLO. Beretta geysers with different types of combustion chambers are presented on the world market: closed and open, electric or piezo ignition.
Among the main parts of the presented model of a column with piezo ignition:
- Traction control mechanism.
- Smoke exhaust pipe - allows smoke not to accumulate in the room, sending it to the ventilation.
- Heat exchanger - responsible for heating the water by the column.
- Pilot Burner – This is where the gas is ignited.
- Burner - This is where the gas is burned.
- Hydraulic valve - responsible for the passage of water through the column.
- Thermostat – temperature regulator.
- Gas valve - allows you to open or close the gas flow into the burner.
- Gas inlet – allows gas to enter the burner.
- A gas pressure regulator that provides the ability to stabilize the gas pressure entering the column when it is unstable.
- Piezo ignition button.
- An economizer that allows you to select a specific temperature for heating water, and also, due to its functions, performs the function of saving gas.
- A device for measuring gas pressure and a gasket, which are connected to the inlet of the pressure regulator.
- Ignition electrode.
- Thermocouple.
The column is equipped with automatic power control depending on the amount of water flowing through it. When the pilot burner is active, the equipment is ignited and switched off automatically.

Reasons for turning on the speaker yourself
Any geyser of different years of manufacture has an automatic system that does not allow the device to turn on on its own. Accordingly, spontaneous activation should not occur. The “frog” control system does not allow you to ignite the dispenser without water.
If the column turns on without water on its own, then there is a problem in the hot water pipeline. The main reason is considered to be a leak. As soon as the problem is resolved, the column will work as before.
In most cases, users are faced not with the wick igniting on its own, but with the fact that it continues to burn when the tap is turned off. This is due to the diaphragm being “crippled” by hard water. It is located in the water regulator. As soon as the water is turned off, the membrane remains in the same place and presses on the gas supply rod. The problem is solved by replacing the diaphragm.
At what time should the column be turned on?
It all depends on the type of inclusion of the column.
The instructions for the device indicate:
- Columns with no wick. They work automatically. The operating instructions for the gas water heater say that it ignites itself after opening the hot water tap. In the absence of pressure, classic brands do not work. Improved models turn on with low water pressure.
- With a wick that burns continuously. The operating instructions for the gas water heater indicate that it must be turned on in the morning. Users light the wick in the morning and leave it in this state until the evening.
