Using any water heater, and Ariston is no exception in this case, it is necessary to carry out regular descaling. In order for the unit not to fail in advance, it is recommended to clean it once every six months, and replace the magnesium anode once a year or two. All this can be done with your own hands and it has already been described in the article “Why and why do we need a magnesium anode in a water heater”. But before you start cleaning up, you should learn how to disassemble the Ariston water heater.
These are the minimum preventive measures that you can do at home with your own hands and without the use of special equipment. Of course, when a heater fails, a temperature sensor fails, or other serious problems arise, it’s not worth the risk and it’s better to turn to professionals. The rest - it all depends on you.
Not only homeowners provide themselves with autonomous hot water. More and more residents of apartment buildings prefer to install instantaneous or storage water heaters. There are 2 reasons for such unconditional popularity - interruptions in hot water, especially in the off-season, and the high cost of hot water supply.
For several years now, Italian Ariston boilers have been popular. They are of high quality, reliability, long service life, if used correctly. Eternal nothing has not yet been invented, and therefore repairs sometimes have to be done independently.
And although the water heater is a rather complicated device, its regular cleaning and maintenance can be done independently in just a couple of hours. The main thing is that before you start the actual work, understand not only how the equipment works, but also how to properly disassemble it.
The most important thing is to completely drain the water from the boiler. On the lower part there are 2 pipes, one of which water enters the boiler, the second one drains.
Even after the water has completely drained, some of it remains at the bottom of the tank, so before opening the lid, substitute a bowl for the remains.
Since a high-quality drain is the key to a successful outcome of the entire operation, we will dwell on it in more detail.
The procedure depends on the features of a particular model - with a trigger, a tee or by means of a check valve.
If, during any manipulations, water does not flow from the return, open the hot water tap to create the necessary air flow, and do not close it until the boiler is empty.
Attention! All work is carried out only after the water heater is disconnected from the mains!
For those who have no time to read, we have prepared a video instruction on how to disassemble an Ariston water heater. Here you will learn about the features of installation, connection to pipes, cleaning, etc.
Once again, all work on the analysis of the water heater is carried out only when it is completely de-energized.

A feature of Ariston water heaters is the presence of an oval-shaped flange.
disconnect the boiler from the network;
drain water through the return pipe;
remove the cover from the bottom of the unit;
carefully pull out the thermostat so as not to damage the gasket;
gain access to the oval flange.
Before you start pulling out the flange, it is necessary to unscrew the nuts on the bar, remove it, pull the heater out with a scrolling movement, and only after that remove the flange. Otherwise, it won't work.
In order to replace and install the flange correctly, take a picture of its position in the heater neck in advance. Otherwise, water will constantly leak.
Be sure to change the gasket! It should be a high-quality, preferably branded product, designed for 2 years of continuous operation.
After the flange and gaskets have been replaced, the electrical unit is cleaned with a sponge, the internal components, the heater, if necessary, the magnesium anode is replaced.
Assembly is carried out in reverse sequential order, so as not to disturb the structure and prevent its failure.
The range of products includes medium class water heaters with improved functional characteristics. The main design feature is that here the flange is fixed with bolts in the amount of 4-6 pieces.
disconnect the device from the network;
drain the water;
remove the cover from the bottom of the case;
disconnect the wires from the heating element and unscrew all the nuts;
slightly pressing the heating element inward with a slight scroll, pull it out - clean or change;
unscrew the nuts on the bar and remove the flange;
change it and the gasket.
For those who are used to solving problems on their own, it will not be difficult to disassemble the Ariston water heater and carry out its prevention. By and large, there is nothing complicated in this operation, only diligence and strict adherence to instructions are required. Record all actions carried out with the device in order to subsequently assemble everything exactly the opposite.

Received in the repair of such a heater! After looking on the Internet, a lot of people ask for help, but before.
The water heater worked just decided to clean it.
In this video I will try to describe the process of repairing a water heater with my own hands. The breakdown is serious enough.
User overview. Main advantages and control of the water heater.
The device is connected to the network, but the light indicator of the heating element does not light up, and the liquid does not heat up. You can determine the failure in the following ways.
It is necessary to take a tester, set it to 220-250 V, measure the voltage at the terminals connecting the cable to the thermostat, if there is a signal, we measure the potentials at the terminals of the heating element. If the indicators are normal there, it means that the heating element itself is broken.
We turn off the storage water heater from the network, set the measuring device to the Ohm resistance measurement scale,
then we disconnect the heating element from the thermostat and release the wires from the terminal so that the contacts of the heating device are bare. We measure the resistance value (Ohm) in the contacts of the heating device, if it is working, a certain value will appear on the screen, the figure is not so important in this case.
If it did not show any value, you need to purchase a new one, since this one is faulty and not suitable for repair, it is recommended to replace the flange seal and anode at the same time.
And now we will describe in more detail how to remove the heating device from the boiler with our own hands:
De-energize the boiler and shut off the water supply from the main.
Unscrew the screws from the protective panel and remove it.
Disconnect all wires.
Unscrew the bolts that fix the heating element, there are usually 6 of them.
Take out the heating element with a rotary motion.
Clean the tank and replace the necessary parts.
Assemble everything in the reverse order, it is recommended to tighten the bolts evenly.
The next malfunction in the Ariston water heater for 50 liters may be a breakdown of the thermostat and thermostat.
Possible thermostat malfunctions:
The copper tube has worn out.
Insufficient connection of contacts.
Electronics failure.
Plaque accumulation.
Fault caused by voltage fluctuations.
One of the indicators of a malfunction is the failure of the heating element to turn on when there is operating voltage and water in the tank. To check its performance, you need to get it, this can be done by disconnecting the power cable and wiring in the electronic board. Then very carefully remove the thermostat.
Then you need to take a tester, set it to measure voltage. We translate the regulator relay to the maximum position, we measure the thermostat contacts. If no reaction occurs, it is broken, you will need to buy a new one or repair it and install it in place.
In the event that the control thermostat has tripped, then the following steps must be performed. We set the minimum position of the thermostat and fix the measuring device on the contacts.
We take a lighter or a candle and heat the thermostat flask. If it is working, then the relay will trip and the circuit will open, and the resistance will tend to infinity.
Take it out, drill out the copper rivets that hold the body together, then separate the stem and body, doing this as carefully as possible so as not to damage anything.
Perform stripping of bimetallic plates. If they are not oxidized much, you can clean them with a small piece of cloth dipped in alcohol, put the cloth on the bottom plate and rub it. If this does not give the desired result, use fine abrasive sandpaper.
If the NC contact is stuck or, as it is also called, the rocker to the body, it is necessary to disconnect the contact and clean this area. The contact in the working position returns to the upper position on its own.If this is not the case for you, pull it out, clean it up, also clean the installation site and install it back.
Install the stem in its original place and fix with self-tapping screws.
Most often, this breakdown occurs if the boiler turns on without a tank filled with water, or its service life has ended.
The next equally common problem is a leak. There are two possible sources of such a breakdown: a breakdown in the tank or a flange leaking.
In the event of a tank leak, it is pointless to carry out repairs, since its replacement will be very expensive, it's another matter if the Ariston water heater is still under warranty, then you have the opportunity to return the device.
And if the cause of the leak is the flange, there will be no difficulty in fixing the breakdown. It is necessary to drain the water, remove the gasket, go to the store with it and purchase a similar one. Then replace and that's it.
Then consider such a breakdown as the lack of electricity supply to the device. Again, we check using a tester or a special indicator screwdriver to see if there is a signal in the cable in phase. Below is a diagram of an electric water heater.
If you need to replace the cable, you must purchase it with the same characteristics as the failed one. When installing, insert it into the desired hole and connect to the terminal block. If during the test the wire turned out to be serviceable, check the strength of the connections with the terminals.
The socket where the device is connected may also be broken; to make sure that it is working, plug another electrical appliance into it. Your outlet may be rated for less power.
During a power surge in the network, the RCD turns off the device, this may also be the cause of malfunction. Check the health of the RCD itself using the test button on it.
We bring to your attention a video about repairing the power module of the Ariston boiler:

The Ariston Academy names the main errors in connecting an electric storage water heater, due to which the tank is in danger. Replacing the original valve with an average return valve, complete exclusion from the piping of the specified element. In order not to do the repair of the Ariston water heater with your own hands on an ongoing basis, as well as the purchase of the Ariston water heater with your head, again and again, know a couple of simple rules, which we will talk about in passing below. Features of Ariston water heaters are limited by the lack of flow models. Everywhere a magnesium anode, the tank is made of steel. It is useful to remember when do-it-yourself Ariston water heater repair pecks.
Today we will consider the repair of the storage water heater Ariston. Electric, but most positions fit gas. There are half a dozen errors in connecting the storage water heater, thanks to which the owner notices: the tank has begun to cry. When cleaning the heating element, you can see: the enamel coating has peeled off, the tank is rotten, the stainless steel seams are leaking!
When cleaning the storage water heater, you should deal with the heating element and the walls of the tank. The matter is aggravated by the fact that there is no normal opening for the repairman to carry out service operations, it is simplified by the fact that the heater is easily or difficult to take out, the anode salts are more like mucus than rock calcium carbonate. As a result, remove the heater carefully, you risk getting dirty with liquid pouring from the hole. It is difficult to empty the tank 100%.
Most storage water heaters are of vertical design. Removable panel at the bottom. There is a design that pleases repairmen with simplicity:
From one to six bolts (nuts) securing the heating element.
Half a dozen wires for the following purposes:
Land.
Phase.
Zero phase (neutral).
First, third formally one. The subtle difference is of interest exclusively to electrical engineers; in the absence of human grounding in the house, it can be short-circuited temporarily.A thermostat with a probe is inserted inside the heating element of the storage water heater. You'll have to pull it out by pulling the heater out. More often, there is a relay inside the thermostat that is triggered when the measured medium reaches a certain temperature. For example, a traditional bimetallic plate.
The scale of the heating element is cleaned by citric acid. The reagent is used as part of complex anti-scale agents, even for boilers in industry, utilities. The concentration is taken as 4.5%, the temperature is above 45 ºС. At night, a two-liter bottle is filled with a solution, a heating element is placed.
The next morning, you can remove the remaining scale relatively simply. Often videos show how large pieces are cut with a knife. This makes sense, the volume of the remaining scale will have more active solution. The heating elements are cleaned with acetic acid, hydrochloric, sulfuric. It is allowed to use store-bought scalers (descaler) in household appliances. Whichever reagent is used, remove the rubber seal. The part will rapidly age in solution, it will become unusable faster.
The insulation resistance between ground (usually the middle terminal) and any pin is 24 MΩ. The resistance of the storage water heater spiral is determined based on the power. The passport of the device is taken, the desired parameter is selected in the technical characteristics section, Ohm's law will allow you to calculate the desired value. Power is related to voltage, resistance by the following expression:
P \u003d U 2 / R, the expression will serve the purpose of calculating the resistance R.
There are 13.5 ohms for every kilowatt. The power of the water heater is 2 kW, the resistance of the spiral is 27 ohms. The outer copper tube is connected to earth. Another factor: if the heating element looks good, check if the shell is broken. It is easier to do it by taking salt water, immerse the heating element so that the contacts do not get wet, measure the resistance between the solution, any end of the spiral. 24 MΩ will come out (you will see “infinity” on the screen of a cheap tester).
The fact means that a short circuit to the body of the storage water heater will not occur after switching on. Water conducts current, which means that there is a small chance of potential coming to the bathroom faucet, it will wait for the victim. Devices of a bathroom, a toilet room are protected by a differential protection device. At the slightest leakage current, it will cut the circuit. The principle of operation is simple: the difference between the input and output currents is measured. It would be useful to put a fuse that protects the coil from burning. It is done if the differential protection device is deprived of the corresponding slots. In the event of a short circuit of the spiral from leakage, the protector may burn out!

Often self-repair of Ariston water heaters is faced with the need to clean the tank. Some even do it with a grinder ... It's just incredible. No hard objects inside! Only a cloth, hands, soap. At night, put the water heater upside down, pour a solution of citric acid (5 liters) through the hot water pipe. Shut off the inlet (not the outlet through which the solution was poured), set the water heater to sour. Please note: the rubber gasket is not installed for the reason indicated above. Place the storage water heater in a location where a small amount of liquid can escape without causing irreparable damage.
Please note: the warranty repair of Ariston water heaters does not cover damage to the tank by hydraulic or mechanical shocks. The thickness of the steel is low, do not neglect the simplest installation rules. Non-return & bypass valve, residential water hammer damper in the first place. The magnesium anode must be changed.
The fact is that the copper heating element of the storage water heater creates a galvanic couple with steel, and this will lead to damage to the tank. The situation will worsen if there is a small scratch. In this case, the area of the donor is much smaller than the acceptor, so corrosion will develop shock quickly.But to repair the tank, you will have to cut off the top, or remove the thermal insulation, cook from the outside. Believe me, in both cases, the owner will be happy to buy a new Ariston storage water heater, unless the product costs more than 10,000 rubles.
A storage water heater is an indispensable addition for lovers of comfortable bath procedures. During the night, 2 kW easily heat 100-200 liters of water to a temperature of 70-80 degrees Celsius. In the morning, the couple will fill 2 baths, mixing hot and cold jets.
Today, various types of heaters are very firmly established in our modern everyday life. In specialized stores, they offer products from world-famous brand companies with very wide popularity, for example, such as Ariston. Despite the high reliability, any household appliances can fail over time for any reason. In this case, it would be useful to know how to carry out an independent repair of the Ariston water heater.
In the mid-40s of the last century, Aristide Merloni launched the production of electric water heaters under the brand name Ariston (Successful). The name fully justified itself, and after some time all the sons of the entrepreneur successfully entered a similar business, and the youngest, Vittorio, inherited his father's company.
Today, Ariston is in the top three in terms of global sales of household appliances, and Ariston brand kitchens are sold with basic household appliances already built in, from a refrigerator to a dishwasher. In Russia, this company became famous in the late 90s of the last century, and now almost every major city has its service center.
Ariston water heaters have a stylish modern design, excellent functionality, and differ from analogues from other manufacturers at a reasonable price. Developers pay close attention product safety during operation: the units are equipped with various protections for all occasions, turning off the product in the event of a power failure, overheating, lack of water supply.
But this reliable technique suffers from the hardness of our water and quite frequent drops, power surges. The weakest points, according to experienced craftsmen, are tubular-type heating elements, a magnesium anode and a check valve. These very simple breakdowns can be repaired with your own hands, if you have the necessary minimum of a tool. The design of the product has a standard scheme, so prevention and repair is not difficult.
The user should pay special attention to the integrity of the internal coating, where modern materials are used, which include titanium, silver reinforcing enamels, glass ceramics and other high-tech additives.
Before disassembling the Ariston water heater for repair, it is necessary to study the design of the product, prepare the necessary tools, as well as various devices. To eliminate mechanical damage, such as water leakage, you will need:
a set of keys or one small adjustable;
a set of various adapters;
new check valve.
In the event of a malfunction with the electrical part, it is necessary to prepare multimeter .
Preparation also includes such work: disconnecting the device from the home electrical network, draining water from the tank.
A heating element.
Thermostat - designed to control the set temperature, as well as to adjust the heating mode.
A relay that controls the on or off of the heating element.
Special anode - it provides protection of the inner coating from the effects of corrosion.
Safety valve - regulates the internal pressure when water is heated.
Signal lights in budget models (they should turn on when current is applied) or electronics for more expensive products.
The home master should study the instructions in detail before starting preventive maintenance or minor repairs in order to freely navigate.
According to statistics, during the operation of the Ariston boiler, the following typical malfunctions may appear:
no water heating - heating element burned out;
the thermostat needs to be replaced.
the magnesium anode has completely used up the assigned resource;
a large layer of limescale heating elements formed.
If these malfunctions occur, except for the second option, you need to completely disassemble the product.
There is absolutely no difference what volume your Ariston water heater costs - 50 or 100 liters, the dismantling process will be identical.
Water heater thermostat Ariston
Each owner of Ariston water heaters should know that when replacing a thermostat, relay and safety valve no need to remove the tank. Drainage of water and complete disassembly of the boiler is carried out only during maintenance work and when replacing a burned-out heating element.
Disassembly of the product is divided into standard stages:
Disconnect the water heater from the household power supply.
Drain the water from the tank.
Dismantle the flanges, gain access to the inside of the water heater.
Before disassembling the product, make sure that it is disconnected from the network : if the heater is powered by a separate line, then you need to turn off the circuit breaker, if just through the cord, then just pull the plug out of the socket.
Some readers may wonder: why emphasize these points so often? But statistics say that during home repairs or when burnt parts are replaced, very often craftsmen who neglect safety precautions receive electrical injuries of varying severity.
Only after a blackout can you start dismantling the Ariston boiler with your own hands:
unscrew the cover, which is fastened with screws;
before dismantling, take a picture of the location so as not to confuse anything during assembly;
disconnect three-core cable , the first two wires - phase and zero were connected to the thermostat, so you can carefully remove it.
All work on the electrical part has been successfully completed, you can start draining the water from the tank.
If the initial installation of the water heater was carried out by a specialist from the service, then he had to install special tee with a drain tap and screw the fitting into it. Quite a convenient device - the user easily connects the hose, as shown in the photo, and drains it into the bathroom water. In the absence of a special device, water is removed by connecting a hose directly to the product nozzle.
Need to know! To balance the external and internal pressure, it is necessary to open the hot water tap.
Draining water can take several minutes if the heater capacity is up to 50 liters, and when you have Ariston for 80 liters, the wait will take up to 30 minutes or more.
All modifications of branded products Ariston have an oval flange on which tenes are installed, an anode made of magnesium and a tube with a thermostat inside . It is put on the flange body from below elastic rubber pad to ensure tightness. The flange is fixed with a U-shaped bar, which is fixed with a nut.
We unscrew the nut, gently push the flange inward, turn and remove it outward. Next, the replacement of failed parts and the cleaning of surfaces from salt and lime deposits are carried out.
Attention! No effort should be made when cleaning the boiler tank: over time, it becomes thinner due to corrosion. When carrying out preventive maintenance, it is advisable not to clean the fine scale.
Remove excess debris at the bottom of the tank, visually inspect the rubber seal, if everything is in order, then do not change it - it is very expensive, and it is very difficult to get a new one. Dismantling and subsequent assembly can be done independently by any user without special training. Attached is this video to help:
VIDEO The statistics of the operation of similar heaters allows us to conclude: regular inspections of the wear of the magnesium anode, cleaning of the heating element, prevention of the internal coating of the tank it is necessary to do it necessarily and regularly, by doing this you significantly extend the life of the product.
Many models of water heaters are equipped with an electronic display, which displays different error codes . You can decrypt them using the instructions. Visually, the user can determine the following faults:
the product does not turn on - the circuit breaker has tripped;
the water is very hot - the thermostat has burned out;
streaks form at the bottom of the tank;
if when the product is turned on, the plug heats up, this is a signal that the power of the outlet is low.
Some users are unaware that the boiler may not turn on due to burnt contact in the socket , which indicates its low power or lack of grounding.
Any failure of reliable household appliances can be provoked by the following reasons:
The formation of a large amount of scale on the heating element.
Power surges in the electrical network contribute to the failure of electronics.
Reduced water flow due to clogged filter and non-return valve.
To reanimate the equipment, you will need spare parts, cleaning the heating element and flushing the inside of the tank.
Advice! For equipment of any brand to serve for a long time and properly, do not set the temperature above 60 0 C - this significantly reduces the process of scale formation.

The cost of gas equipment depends on the principle of the water heater and its type. Each boiler is arranged in the same way, but it also has some features:
DGI water heaters have electronic ignition and manual control of power indicators. Characteristic is the natural removal. The gas water heater has a laconic rectangular shape;Fast-CF does not need additional power supply, and copper is used for the manufacture of the heat exchanger, which can significantly reduce heat losses;Marco Polog7s features a closed combustion chamber, providing additional safety of operation. There is a touch screen and a modern design, which makes the model the most popular among consumers;Marco Polo M2 is a model with an open combustion chamber and a smoke exhaust fan. There are a couple of stages of device protection that prevent overheating and guarantee high safety performance, as well as a long service life.Before installing the device, you must familiarize yourself with the principle of operation of the Ariston water heater, as well as study the instructions with detailed instructions for the individual features of the installation.
The manufacturer uses proprietary protection against corrosive changes. Absolutely all budget models are equipped with a mechanical regulator, and each expensive water heater is equipped with a digital control unit. An internal temperature controller works inside the water heater, which allows you to optimize heating. The device and principle of operation of such equipment are as follows:
an internal tank or boiler designed to receive cold water and framed by an external casing.
built-in heater designed to heat incoming water;
a heat-insulating layer located between the body of the water heater and the boiler, which performs the function of a kind of thermos and allows for a long time to maintain the temperature indicators of heated water;
a shortened branch pipe equipped with a divider for water supply;
outlet pipe;
built-in magnesium anode to prevent strong sedimentation in the form of mineral salts on the walls of the inner surface of the tank.
thermostat designed to automatically interrupt the power circuit after heating the liquid to the specified temperature.
Control of the operation of water heating equipment is carried out by means of a voltage indicator, and with the help of a built-in thermometer, you can monitor changes in temperature indicators.
Convenient connection of water-heating equipment from the company "Ariston" consists in the use of manufacturers of an autoclave special flange mechanism. The basic principle of operation of such a mechanism is based on pressing the gasket under the influence of water pressure. As a result, it is possible to completely eliminate not only the leakage of liquid, but also the formation of watery smudges. To avoid unnecessary heat losses, the fixing of electrical models of the water heater from the company "Ariston" is carried out in close proximity to the output point.

To install wall models, the equipment is fixed with anchors or bolts. The optimal standard fastener diameter should be 10 mm or more . Installation of 100-liter hot water tanks has some features. In this case, fastening must necessarily occur with fixation on the other side of the wall.It is for this reason that experts recommend installing water heaters before the start of the main finishing work.
Important to remember, that when connecting different types of metals, it is mandatory to use dielectric adapters, through which differences in the degree of expansion of materials differing in parameters are compensated. It is necessary to connect the input using a standard valve, and a branch pipe is installed on the output. At the final stage, the installed water heater must be turned on and checked for correct connection, no leaks and operability.
During the operation of water heaters manufactured by Ariston, difficulties do not arise, but it is necessary to take into account some rules that affect the durability of the device and its performance. Periodically, preventive measures are taken, including inspection of the internal parts of the equipment, descaling and replacement of the heating element that has become unusable. The average duration of the operation of all mechanisms of a certain model can be found in the manufacturer's instructions. It must be remembered that the timely replacement of the anode allows you to extend the life of the water heating mechanism. In accordance with the recommendations of professionals, it is not advisable to set the thermostat to the maximum heating level.
If you set the temperature limit by about 10 ° C below the maximum values, then you can significantly reduce the cost of electrical energy, as well as save the resources of equipment parts. It is important to remember that you can disassemble the device yourself only as a last resort. Do-it-yourself repair work will result in the exclusion of the possibility of exercising the right to warranty repairs.
Repair work related to the elimination of breakdowns in gas appliances requires the involvement of qualified specialists, and the repair of an electric boiler can be done independently.
Major mechanical failures are most often manifested by tank leaks. from which water begins to ooze or drip during operation. The cause of this failure may be corrosion in the weld areas or a malfunction of the reverse protection system of the valve, which operates and performs an emergency reset. In this case, it is necessary to eliminate the excess level of water and air pressure by means of a reducer. Any depressurization of the storage tank will require the purchase of a new tank. If such a defect is insignificant, then it is enough to replace the sealing gasket.
A fairly inexpensive measure is the independent replacement of some electrical parts, including a heating element, a bimetallic thermostat, sensors or switches. In case of prolonged heating, noise or hiss, as well as in the event of an ABS system shutdown protection, a replacement of the heating element is required, the average service life of which does not exceed five years. Replacement is carried out after de-energizing the device, draining the water and removing the flange.
It is very important to systematically check the magnesium anode, which is a consumable material and is designed to effectively protect the inner surface of the tank and the heating element from corrosive changes. When the anode is thinned by ½ of the original volume, a mandatory replacement is carried out. The heating element is able to last much longer if the so-called “dry” heating element is installed in the structure.
