The weather is getting colder and colder. Combi season is approaching. There are those who have already started the combi in their homes. So what should we know about these devices? How should we take care of them? What are the important points that we must do before starting the combi?
“Caspian” The newspaper published an article on the subject.
Boilers with esenger and copper tubes.
Sanan Maharramov, who sells combi, explained the points to take into account when purchasing these devices:
“People should pay attention to the quality when buying a boiler. It is better if the internal pipes are copper. Because sometimes they are ordinary water pipes. When the pressure is high, the pipes expand as the water heats up and fail. Copper pipes “Boilers with higher circulation engines use more gas. “You save a lot because it goes fast and the engine is at 55 degrees, the water that comes out at 55 degrees returns to 25 degrees, there are suggestions.”
“The original ones work for 15 years, the cheap ones work for 5-6 years”
According to combi master Kamil Aliyev, the price of combis varies depending on their quality:
“There are people who use second-hand combi. If an unused combi costs between 1,100 and 1,200 AZN, then a second-hand combi costs half that. You can find a combi for 1,200 AZN for 400 AZN. There is no danger. in the second-hand combi if all the parts work normally, the cheap combi are of quality. For example, there are original combi cars that start to break down after 5-6 years, but that is not the case, it is a combi that can work even with. low pressure”.
According to the teacher, if the combi breaks down frequently, it is more convenient to change it instead of calling the teacher every time:
“Each part has a useful life. It must be replaced when it is already damaged. It is difficult to say specifically if the combi can be repaired at this price.” The cost of repair can be 30 to 40 manats or 200 to 300 manats. It depends mainly on which part is damaged. Kombi It can run for 10 years without problems, but is considered worn out. Sometimes 40-50 liters of antifreeze are poured in, because it does not rust. a new system.”
“There are people who haven’t washed their combi in 10 years”
K. Aliyev said that the combination should be washed once a year:
“Because depending on the hardness of the water, it can become calcified. Washing in winter is not very convenient. After the combi has worked all winter, we have to wash it with a device and with medicines. After pressurizing it, we make it ready for next winter season. But we don’t wash the combi once a year. They wash it at most once every three years, the circulation in the radiator is blocked, there are people who don’t wash their combi for 10 years. Without the device they can only do it. fill the radiator with a maximum of three liters of water, so the radiator will heat up for a long time.”
Combi is a smart device
The interviewer also talked about the storage conditions of the combination:
“The combi should be stored in a cupboard on the balcony, because these devices can be damaged by outside dust. When the combi is turned off, if it is very cold, the water freezes and, in this case, some parts explode. That is why it is “It’s better to be inside the house. The van should be dry, not wet, it shouldn’t rain, it shouldn’t rain there.”
According to the expert, there is little danger in the combi:
“Because it is a smart device. It turns off automatically when any problem occurs. It is safe because its pipes are located outside. If there is a lack of air in the combi, it automatically blocks if there is a toxic gas. The combi never releases gas. If there is a leak, it turns off immediately.”
Don’t turn off frequently
According to K. Aliyev, sometimes people turn the combi on and off every day. But this is not correct. The combi should not be turned off frequently:
“You can simply reduce the temperature when you are not at home. People think they save money by doing so. But in reality, it takes more energy to reheat a cold house. Let them try to keep the temperature of the house at the best The option is to keep the combi on continuously throughout the winter. When connecting it, you only have to pay attention to the pressure. The pressure should be between 1.5 and 2. If the pressure drops, the device turns off by itself.
“We want to heat the water, but it is getting cold”
The captain also clarified the issue that citizens complain about the combi:
“They turn off the combined circuit in summer mode. You can close the radiator when it is not in use. The combined circuit has no drawbacks. You only use it for hot and cold water. Sometimes people complain that the water cools down in summer mode. summer But they don’t know how it works. The water is hot. When it is cold water, the pressure drops and the boiler turns off automatically. To prevent this from happening, the temperature in the boiler should not be adjusted.
