Description

Duro Glass

The steel water heater undergoes a chemical treatment that, combined with the special enameling method using vacuum technology, achieves perfect mechanical adhesion. Then the special glass-based enameling (DURO GLASS), the result of long-term research and testing by ELCO, is baked together with the steel at 860°C, achieving perfect thermochemical adhesion. Thus, the glass faithfully follows the contractions and expansions of the metal, having the same elasticity limits as it.

Result: The water heater is completely protected from rust.

Magnesium Anodes

The exceptionally large magnesium anode of the ELCO DURO GLASS water heaters, with a total quantity multiple times the usual and double that dictated by standards, ensures complete protection of the water heater from electrolysis.

Thermoelectric Safety

ELCO DURO GLASS water heaters are equipped with not only a safety thermostat but also a special thermoelectric fuse, providing double protection against overheating.

Safety Valve

The special safety valve of ELCO DURO GLASS water heaters completely protects the boiler from overpressure.

Polyurethane Insulation

The enhanced ecological polyurethane insulation with a thickness of at least 25mm & a density of 40kg/m3, injected using a special method applied by ELCO, covers every point of the water heater with absolute precision.

Result: Fewer thermal losses to the environment, saving energy, while the water stays hot for a longer time.

Capacity

Based on the capacity in liters, it is only used for domestic use with small needs, such as in a kitchen for washing dishes. It quickly and economically meets the need for hot water usage, as the water heats up in less than 20 minutes.

Installation

The water heater can be installed on the floor (e.g., storage room or attic). Installation in an attic or on the floor usually makes maintenance more difficult.

Water Heater VS Electric Boiler

The water heater operates with electric energy, where the resistance inside the water heater is heated and thus the water is warmed.

On the other hand, the electric boiler, in addition to heating the water through electric energy, has an internal exchanger (coil) with the ability to connect to the central heating system, to assist in the production of hot water. This reduces the use of electric energy.

This means that once connected, the hot water produced by, for example, the oil boiler, heats not only the radiators but also the water in the water heater, thereby promoting cost savings during the winter months.

    the heating element did not work from the beginning and after 4 years the resistor was replaced

  • I did the installation myself, very easily and quickly without problems. It was connected to the kitchen's hot water for dishwashing exclusively, in an area with very cold weather. I have it permanently set at 45 degrees, it heats the water in 4 minutes from cold and then turns off. We always have hot water ready waiting for us at the tap. The only negative is the purchase price compared to its capacity, as the corresponding 80-liter one costs around €150.

    Overall very good and especially fast. Replaced the same one that was 20+ years old... I hope this one also breaks down after 20 years..

    Simple, small, and high quality. It came with (inside the plastic cap) the pressure relief valve that is installed at the cold inlet -according to the instructions-, with which I did not encounter any leakage issues that I read about. Now we will see its lifespan.

    The valve is very sensitive. It broke and flooded the entire kitchen from the morning. After 3 visits from the plumber and an additional 60 euros, I managed to make it stop dripping, but the glass wool has already absorbed water and the water coming out from inside is not clean.

    This review is about the placement: Vertical

    Regarding the installation, the cable is a hassle as it comes in the opposite direction to the thermostat. The grounding screw is for a six-wire cable and a straight screwdriver is needed [should have been a Phillips screwdriver]. The input and output should have been filed, otherwise they wouldn't screw in at all
