On the market household appliances It's probably already hard to imagine trademark better known than Bosch. The company quite successfully supplies products under its brand all over the world, ranging from irons, refrigerators and ending with power tools. A separate division is production by a German concern heating equipment: boilers and water heaters from Bosch Thermotechnics.

Solid fuels have been heating homes for many years, both in Russia and abroad.
They are especially popular among Russian consumers Bosch geysers, reviews of which can often be seen on specialized websites. Buyers are attracted by quality and reliability at affordable price for instantaneous water heaters from German manufacturer.

Let's figure out together whether a Bosch gas water heater is worth buying today, given this wide choose manufacturers nowadays. To do this it is necessary to consider the lineup, prices and technical characteristics of the device from the German concern, disadvantages and advantages compared to its direct competitors on the market.

Let's do it short review Bosch geysers based on the operating instructions, as well as reviews from specialists and customers. Let's analyze the main malfunctions of the Bosch column: why the pilot light does not light up or the wick goes out, etc.

Model range and features of Bosch geysers

Gas water heaters Bosch, unlike its direct competitor, has a very wide range of models. Many modifications with different types ignition and performance, design and size. Water heaters are available in two colors: white and gray.

Bosch geysers: model range

All gas instantaneous water heaters are assembled in Portugal, the only difference is one, the most budget model of water heaters - “Therm 2000 O”, type W10 KB, which is assembled in China. Now let's look at all the models and series that are supplied to the Russian market.

1. Series Therm 2000 O

This is a budget geyser with a small hot water output of 10 l/min. This unit is equipped with automatic battery ignition, a tubular copper heat exchanger and gas burner made of stainless steel.

As in the columns, it contains an emergency draft and flame control sensor, as well as a water temperature sensor and a gas control system. The Bosch W10 KB speaker is compact in size and can be purchased inexpensively, starting from 8,000 rubles.

2. Series Therm 4000 O

The most popular models are available with both automatic ignition from batteries and piezo ignition by pressing a special button. Three types of different power and productivity from 10 to 15 l/min are available. Bosch geysers of this series have high quality copper heat exchanger for heating running water with an extended service life of up to 15 years.

Also, these models are equipped with smooth modulation of the burner flame, with the help of which the device itself maintains the set outlet water temperature. An important advantage of this model is that this column turns on at a water pressure of only 0.1 atmosphere.

Instantaneous gas water heaters of this series have the following designation:

— Bosch column with automatic ignition (article “B” is present): WR 10-2B, WR 13-2B and WR 15-2B;

The operating principle of a Bosch gas water heater with piezo ignition is quite simple. Set the water temperature regulator to the “On” position, press the button of this regulator, while simultaneously pressing the piezo ignition button from below. Hold down the thermostat button until the speaker turns on. We ask them desired temperature water.

The principle of igniting a gas water heater with automatic ignition is even simpler. We open the hot water tap on the mixer, and the column turns on itself, thanks to the batteries pre-installed in the device. U gas water heaters Bosch they come with the speaker. The pilot light for devices with piezo ignition is constantly on, but for automatic speakers it goes out when the device is turned off.

Technical characteristics of geysers Bosch WR series

Water heaters from a German manufacturer can operate on both natural and liquefied gas. The diameter of the gas supply pipe is 3/4 inch, water – 1/2. The diameter of the chimney pipe varies and, depending on the specific model, ranges from 115 mm to 135 mm. Other parameters can be seen in this table.

— prices for spare parts.

Today we looked at the legendary manufacturer of household appliances, in particular, geysers from the German concern. All models, series and technical characteristics were analyzed in detail geysers Bosch. Reviews may vary, but speakers from this manufacturer undoubtedly occupy one of the first places in the ratings for quality and reliability. Let's watch the video.

In fact, the only drawback of devices of this brand is their price: a Portuguese-assembled model will cost an average of 12-15 thousand rubles. And it’s up to you, of course, to decide whether to buy a Bosch gas water heater today or not.

The Bosch wr 10 2p geyser can operate from both natural and liquefied gas, i.e. balloon. Equipped with triple protection: a thermoelement for controlling the ignition flame, controlling the draft of gas combustion products, and a temperature limiter that protects the column from overheating.

The model is also equipped reliable system flame modulation. This means that the column automatically adjusts the heating to the required liquid flow. If you are washing dishes in the kitchen, and someone decides to wash in the shower, the water temperature will be the same, both in the kitchen and in the shower. The power of the liquid at the outlet is also automatically adjusted when the water pressure in the water supply system changes.

Before turning it on, according to the operating instructions for the Bosch geyser, you must make sure that there is draft in the chimney. This can be done by holding a lit candle or match to the chimney. If the flame deviates towards the chimney, it means that everything is in order with the draft, and you can turn on the device.

If there is no draft, you should find out the reason and clean the air duct, or seal the seams of the air duct pipes if a loose fit of its parts is detected. When the speaker is operating, make sure that the window or window is slightly open; the door in the room where the speaker is installed should not be tightly closed.

This ensures natural air movement and oxygen flow; the unit burns during operation. a large number of oxygen. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in poisoning. carbon monoxide. You should also remember that when the column is running, you cannot turn on the fan or air conditioner, this will disrupt the outflow carbon monoxide through the chimney.

On the front panel of the device there is a slider on the left that regulates the power, on the right there is a toggle switch for regulating the liquid volume, and above them there is an observation window. Never get too close to it to avoid getting burned.

If the launch occurs for the first time or after long downtime, some air may accumulate in the column pipes. To remove it, open and close the hot water tap several times, at intervals of about a minute, until it is completely removed.

When you turn it on for the first time, open the gas and water valves and turn on the hot water tap to make sure that liquid is flowing.

The Bosch speaker has a piezo ignition system, the button of which is located at the bottom left. To turn it on, you need to move the slider from the left extreme position to the ignition position, indicated by an asterisk. Press it down and simultaneously press the piezo ignition button several times until the pilot flame appears.

At the same time, loud clicks are heard, you should not be afraid of them, this is how it should be. If the pilot flame ignites, release the slider button; if ignition does not occur, repeat the entire procedure again. The unit may not start if, after a long period of inactivity or when turned on for the first time, gas pipes air got in. To remove it, hold the slider button depressed until all the air is removed.

As soon as the unit is turned on, set the power you need using the same slider. The extreme right position provides maximum power, while gas consumption also increases. By using round pen the required fluid flow and temperature are established.

By turning the knob clockwise, you reduce the flow and increase the temperature, turning counterclockwise - on the contrary, the flow increases, the temperature decreases. Installation high temperature increases gas consumption and scale formation in the heat exchanger.

The pilot flame burns continuously, and the main burner ignites when the hot water tap is opened. The shutdown occurs when you close the hot water tap. To completely turn off the unit, you need to move the power regulator slider to the extreme left position, the pilot flame will go out...

If there is a risk of water freezing in the appliance, for example, in a country house winter period, you should completely drain the water from it. To do this, you need to close the water and gas supply valves and open the taps on the mixer.

Remove the housing casing by unscrewing several bolts to gain access to the water unit. Remove the bracket in the shape of the letter “P” from the filter housing on the water fittings and remove the plug, which is located immediately behind the bracket. Wait a while until the liquid is completely drained.

To extend the service life of the device, it is necessary to carry out regular maintenance, at least once a year. Clean the inside of the column from dust and soot, and descale the heat exchanger. However, you should know that all work with gas equipment should only be carried out by a specialist.

After all work has been carried out to prepare the Bosch Gaz 6000 boiler for launch, after pre-start preparation, which includes checking expansion tank, shut-off valves, filters, checking the pressure in the gas main, the tightness of all joints, the boiler is connected to the electrical network.

After powering up the power supply, the “attention” icon appears on the electronic display located on the front panel of the unit. Next, press the power button on the front panel, located near the upper left corner of the electronic display. Above the display there is a magnetic instruction manual that allows you to easily change the unit settings.

When turned on, within two seconds, the boiler electronics conduct self-diagnosis, check all sensors and switch to blocking mode. The display shows the current temperature and status code. Next, it is necessary to adapt the fan speed to the length of the chimney to which the unit is connected.

This operation is performed by simultaneously pressing and holding three buttons - “+”, “-” and “back”. The mode is set in accordance with the parameter specified in the instructions for the device - set the second service level, confirm the action with the “ok” button, holding it down until square brackets appear on the display.

In addition to the display, in the lower right part, there is a pressure gauge showing the pressure in the system, normal pressure is located in the green zone. The red zone indicates pressure below and above the nominal pressure when the protection is triggered and the unit is turned off.

Bosch THERM 4000

You can increase the pressure using the blue tap by unscrewing it counterclockwise until the pressure gauge needle returns to blue zone. As the pressure increases, liquid will be discharged through the corrugated tube at the bottom of the unit and the pressure gauge will return to its normal position.

The boiler can operate in two modes, liquid heating and heating mode; which mode is active is shown by an icon on the display.

The mode is selected by pressing the “+” or “mode” button. Having selected the mode, set the desired temperature, then press “ok” - confirm the choice, after which up and down arrows appear on the display, use the “+” and “-” buttons to set the required heating temperature. To save the selection, you need to press the “ok” button and hold it for a couple of seconds.

If you need to set the heating operating mode, select it with the “-” button and confirm by pressing “ok”. Selecting the temperature and saving the selection occurs in the same way as when setting the water heating temperature. The fire icon that appears on the display indicates that the turbine has turned on and heating has begun.

When the set temperature is reached, the fire icon will disappear, after falling, when the boiler turns on again, it will appear again, this will happen cyclically throughout the entire operation of the boiler at the specified parameters. In the event of any malfunctions in the operation of the Bosch Gaz 6000, for example, in the absence of gas or water supply, protection will be activated and an error message will appear on the display.

The explanation of the error and steps to eliminate it are described in the instructions for the boiler. After identifying and eliminating the cause, you must confirm the action on the display by pressing and holding the “ok” button for several seconds. After this, the boiler automatically starts up again.

The unit is protected from freezing if the pump is running and liquid is circulating through heating system. If the boiler needs to be turned off, then antifreeze is added to the heating fluid and water is drained from the hot water supply; as a rule, this work is performed by a specialist. Maintenance is also carried out by a specialist, since the unit is a rather complex device associated with high blood pressure and gas.

We invite you to watch a video about the rules for setting up the Bosch 4000 O speaker:

Thanks to a wide range of functions and high quality The Bosch geyser is very popular all over the world. Using this unit, you can create an autonomous hot water supply in an apartment, private cottage or country house. There is a large abundance of models of this brand on the market, among which a simple buyer may get confused and buy a Bosch gas water heater that is not suitable for certain conditions. To avoid similar situation, you should study in detail the operating principle of water heaters, characteristics and varieties.

Rating of the best models of Bosch geysers

The company's official website provides a wide range of Bosch gas water heaters, so every consumer can choose an option for themselves in terms of cost and technical specifications. Each classification differs in the type of ignition, power and performance, but they are all made in two main shades:

• white;
• grey.

Modifications are made at the Portuguese plant, but you can purchase Bosch devices in Moscow, St. Petersburg and in any other city through official representatives. There is a separate series of geysers, which are assembled in China, in fact, it is the most budget option. Let's take a closer look at which versions of devices are supplied to the domestic market.

Bosch 2000-O THERM

This line is considered the cheapest because it has a relatively low productivity of up to 10 l/min. and involves operation in combination with one water intake point.

Water heaters have a battery-powered ignition system, a tubular-type heat exchanger consisting of copper material and a steel burner. The units contain a controller for the degree of draft and flame level. The devices were also equipped with a sensor temperature regime liquid and gas flow. This version includes the Bosch W 10 KB device with compact dimensions and estimated cost 8,000 rub.

Bosch 4 000-O THERM

The most popular series of Bosch geysers, which is available with automatic method ignition or piezo ignition. In the first case, water heaters operate on batteries and require regular replacement of the voltage source; the second option requires constant pressing of a key to start operation. There are 3 varieties available on the market, with different power ratings and performance levels - 10-15 l/min.

BOSCH WR 10-2 P23

The units contain a heat exchanger consisting of copper material, due to which the device’s service life is increased to 15 years. In addition to all modifications, they are equipped with smooth modulation of the burner fire, thanks to which the device is able to independently maintain the specified temperature even during pressure surges.

One of the most important advantages is the ability to operate at water pressure of plumbing system at 0.1 atm.

This classification includes the following models:

• modifications of the machine with the prefix “B” - WR10 2B, 13 2B, 15 2B;
• semi-automatic with the prefix “P”, indicating the presence of piezo ignition - gas water heater Bosch WR 102P, 13 2P, 15 2P.

Each option has an individual column ignition method. In the first case, ignition is carried out without user intervention when opening the water tap; in the second, you need to light the wick in the device by simply pressing the desired key.

Water heaters with piezo ignition are significantly cheaper than devices with electric ignition, but each option has its own disadvantages - the need to replace batteries, the inconvenience of turning on the column at more than an arm's length, etc.

Bosch 4 000-S THERM

Main distinguishing characteristic devices of this series, this is the presence in the design of a fan that creates forced draft. The devices can operate without a chimney system, so no special maintenance is required. Such units are especially relevant for apartment owners who do not have the opportunity to install a chimney.

Therm 4000 S WTD 12 AM E23

Exhaust of combustion products and supply fresh air carried out at the expense of coaxial chimney. This element must be installed horizontally through the wall directly to the street. It is sold in quality additional option and, as a rule, is supplied separately from the gas water heater.

The units also have a digital display for determining error codes, setting the temperature mode and other programs. This device, thanks to the burner fire modulation device, can maintain the specified mode with an error of up to 1°C.

The line includes the following models:

• WTD 12AM E-23;
• 15AM E-23;
• 18AM E-23.

From this it becomes clear that modifications are made in three versions in terms of power and heating intensity of 12-18 l/min. They have a drawback - the devices operate on a 220 V power supply, so the models are considered completely energy-dependent.

Bosch 6 000-O THERM

The Bosch 10 2G, WRD 13 2G, 15 2G devices are equipped with a hydrogen generator and automatic ignition of the burner, which is produced by a stream of water. When the tap is opened, the liquid circulates into the column, and the Hydro Power system automatically starts the device with a hydrodynamic generator. In this case, no batteries or piezoelectric element are required.

Therm 6000 O WRD 10 2G

As for the heating efficiency, it is 10-15 l/min, depending on the modification. The control panel is equipped with a liquid crystal screen, which displays all information about the operation of the device.

Geyser Bosch 6 000-S, 8 000-S THERM

These series are considered industrial because they are capable of producing 24 and 27 l/min. and work on 4 mixers. Geysers have electric ignition and a liquid crystal screen on the front of the panel.

THERM 8000 S WTD 27 AME

In the first case, the units are equipped with two fans, in the second - special device condensation and electric drive.

Frequent problems

Every consumer should be aware of the problems that he may encounter when using a Bosch geyser. Regardless of which model it is W10 KB or WRD 13 2G, where it was purchased and at what price, the following situations may arise during use:

1. The water heater does not light up or the fire goes out a few seconds after starting. The pilot burner needs to be cleaned.
2. The wick goes out when water collection begins. You need to check the fuel pressure reducer. This must be done if the device operates on bottled fuel.
3. The liquid does not warm up enough or does not change the initial temperature at all. You need to examine whether the temperature regulator, which is located on the front of the control panel, is set correctly.
4. The pilot light goes out for no reason. The traction control or water temperature control probably turns on. This will require the intervention of a Bosch geyser repair technician.
5. The pressure of water coming out of the column has decreased. The cause of the problem is contamination of the heat exchanger, tap, or water unit. It is necessary to identify the source and clean it.
6. Water heater with automatic system won't start. The batteries may be discharged or damaged; they need to be replaced with new ones.

Buying an electrical appliance: pros and cons

In order to understand whether this device is needed in the house or not, we recommend reading the reviews real people. We, in turn, analyzed them and obtained the following summary table.

Pros of the units:

• high quality of assembly and parts;
• large assortment with different pricing policies;
• modern technologies;
• absence of noise during operation.

Disadvantages of devices:

• having trouble finding it service center for service;

VIDEO: How to choose Bosch water heaters - what's the difference

Let's look at the example of gas models instantaneous water heaters Bosch WR10.B, WR13.B, WR15.B made in Germany, for the markets of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus. These models differ in the amount of heated water.

Bosch WR10.B, WR13.B, WR15.B

Before starting, check that the gas and water valves are open and that two 1.5 V type R batteries are inserted. These heater models are equipped with electric ignition, as indicated by the B index at the end of the name. Electric ignition occurs using batteries.

To turn on the device, you need to press the power button on the front panel of the device; the speaker is ready for operation and is in standby mode. In order for heated water to flow, you just need to open the tap. At this point the pilot flame ignites and four seconds later the main flame ignites, so the pilot flame goes out after approximately twenty seconds.

These devices do not have a constantly burning wick, which is economical since there is no constant flow gas During a long break from work in gas system air may accumulate and interfere with proper operation the igniter and, as a result, the main burner will not be able to ignite.

To fix this problem, you need to open and close the hot water tap several times. Adjustment of water heating occurs by reducing its flow; by turning the valve clockwise, it decreases; counterclockwise, respectively, vice versa, the flow increases and the temperature decreases. At a low water temperature, gas costs are reduced and less scale is formed in the heat exchanger.

In the video, in addition to the startup procedure, you can also learn about setting up the speaker:

How to light a bosch Therm 4000 O WR 10/13/15 -2 P gas water heater.

The difference between these models is the amount of water heated per minute. A device equipped with piezo ignition is designated by the letter P at the end of the name. It has the ability to regulate two parameters, water and combustion power. To turn on the column, you need to move the slider to the ignition position and press it down.

Press the piezo ignition button several times until a flame appears on the pilot burner. Wait ten seconds, release the slider and move it to the desired power position. Moving the slider to the right increases the power and to the left decreases it. The speaker is in standby mode all the time, if you need to receive hot water, you just need to open the hot water valve.

When you need to turn it off, move the slider all the way to the left. After a couple of seconds, the pilot flame will go out. Turn off the gas valve and water taps.

Watch the video below for instructions on how to turn it on:

Therm 4000 S WTD 12/15/18 AM E23/31.

Before starting, you must make sure that, on the plate installed on the device by the manufacturer, the gas marking corresponds to the gas connected to the device. The device has the ability to connect remote control control, which completely duplicates the operation of the display on the column.

Open the valve gas tap and water valves. Connect the device to the power supply.

The water temperature set by the manufacturer is 42 degrees, this is the optimal temperature.

To turn on the device, you just need to press the turn on button and open the hot water tap. To regulate the temperature, you need to press the “+” or “-” button and select the temperature you need. Until your selected temperature is reached, the display will flash.

If it does not reach this value within thirty seconds, the water tap, which indicates the need to increase or decrease water flow. If you press the P button, the programmed constant temperature of 42 degrees will appear. Setting the minimum temperature reduces energy consumption and makes it possible to reduce the formation limescale in the heat exchanger.

But if you know how to turn on the column, but encounter malfunctions (the flame goes out, does not ignite), then where the reasons and methods for eliminating them are described.
