Small dimensions, pleasant design, ease of installation and low energy consumption - these are the characteristics of the new development of Delimano water heaters. But is it really so rosy? Let's figure it out.
Delimano is a flow-through type water heater faucet, positioned as a new generation appliance. It heats up the water as it comes from the water supply. The liquid heats up almost instantly (the device needs about 5 seconds). The device is mounted instead of a tap, it can be installed both in the kitchen and in the bathroom. The water heater has a modern and stylish design, so it will not spoil the appearance of the sink in any way. The only limitation is that the device will not be able to provide comfortable use of the shower.
The Delimano water heater does not differ externally from ordinary mixers, but a heating element is installed inside, passing through which the water is heated.
The device consists of the following parts:
- a body made of heat-resistant plastic;
- Heating element, with a capacity of 3 kW;
- a pressure valve that regulates the water supply to the heater reservoir;
- control lever;
- indicator lamp;
- wires
The principle of operation of the device is as follows: when the control knob is turned on to the hot water position, cold water by its pressure opens the valve and fills the reservoir where the heating element is located; at the same time, the heating element turns on. Hot water flows out through the tap, and cold water heats up as it enters the tank of the device.

The water heater has the following parameters:
- power consumption - 3 kW;
- rated voltage - 220 V;
- dimensions - 125x70x70 mm;
- weight - 1 kg;
- body - plastic;
- the highest water temperature during heating - a maximum of 60 degrees;
- view - flowing.
The manufacturer has made a medium-length power cable (1 meter), so you may have to use an extension cord or make a new outlet next to the sink. The inlet diameter is 21.8 mm, which is the standard size, so the unit can be connected to conventional mixer hoses. The Delimano electric instantaneous water heater completely replaces the tap, and is not installed under it.
The manufacturer claims that the device has a huge number of advantages and, of course, has no disadvantages. But is it really so?
From this installation diagram of the Delimano water heater, it is clear that no special skills are required for its installation.
- Able to significantly save energy in comparison with other electric water heaters.
- Extremely compact and immeasurably lightweight.
- It is extremely easy to install, installation can be carried out even by a person without special skills.
- Ultra-modern design, the device fits into any interior.
- The device is capable of heating water up to 60 degrees in 5 seconds.
- The water heater in the process of heating water enriches and saturates it with oxygen.
- Reduces water consumption and therefore saves you additional money.
- You can install the water heater wherever there is a faucet (instead of the last one).
- The water heating temperature can be adjusted.
- Saved on the power cable.One meter is very small and often this length is not enough, so you have to turn to extension cords for help or, in order to preserve the aesthetic appearance, make an additional outlet.
- The old wiring of the Soviet era may not withstand the load, you will have to replace the entire network in the apartment.
- Not all traffic jams are capable of withstanding such a device. And if a powerful device is also turned on in parallel, then be sure that it will knock them out.
- The heating element quickly clogs and deteriorates (scale forms) if the water in the pipeline is hard.
- The colder the water in the pipeline (for example, in frosty winter), the more power Delimano needs. And the declared 60 degrees will no longer work.
- Although the manufacturer indicates that the device heats the water instantly, nevertheless, when the water pressure is high, it will not warm up to the desired level.
- The reliability of the device and the life without breakdowns are also in question.
Whether it is worth buying Delimano is up to you, of course. But the water heater does not differ much from its flow-through counterparts. Only its compact size and appropriate design make it attractive. This device is only enough for washing dishes or washing in the morning., but not more. Whether you want to clean up or heat up a decent amount of water, rest assured that you will have to wait a long time for the right portion. For such situations, it is better to choose a different water heater for your apartment or house. The Delimano heater can be used as a backup if you have a central hot water supply.
The following are independent customer reviews and best use cases.
I live in my house, there is no hot water. I decided to buy a water heater, not too expensive, so as not to spoil the appearance of the kitchen and take away the work space. I chose from instantaneous water heaters and the choice fell on Delimano. The faucet fits into the interior amazingly. I coped with the installation myself, using the instructions and a simple set of tools. The cord, however, turned out to be short, but fortunately, the socket was nearby, and I did not have to look for an extension cord.
In the process of operation, I faced serious problems. You cannot turn on a large pressure, then the water flows completely cold. For household needs, like washing hands, dishes or washing, it is suitable. But even collecting a bucket is already problematic. While he drains a few liters of water, you can sleep. And after a while, the mount also loosened, the crane began to wobble.
In general, I recommend the water heater to those who will not use it constantly, since it clearly cannot withstand intensive use. It also consumes a lot of electricity.
We have a central hot water supply at home, but the pipes are already rotten, so there is often no water. We decided to purchase an inexpensive, easy-to-install and compact water heater. Delimano was the best fit for the requirements. Installation took a maximum of 10 minutes. Installation can be done without instructions, the husband did it on his own. At first we were delighted, but this joy was short-lived. The power cable, of course, was not enough. I had to take an extension cord. But after several minutes of device operation, plastic began to melt in the extension cord box. I had to buy a new adapter that can withstand heavy loads.
One of the advantages is ease of use: washing your hands or washing dishes is not difficult. The faucet copes with these tasks 100%, so I recommend it as a backup water heater.
I decided to buy this unit for my dacha. There is a central water supply, but there is no hot water or gas. There was no point in buying a boiler, since we did not appear often.
In the end, I installed everything quickly and easily. I say right away that you need a good extension cord. I switched it on and it turned out that the water does not heat up immediately and not even after 5 seconds, as the manufacturer stated. I also noticed that the pressure cannot be made high, then the water does not warm up at all.And during the operation of the water heater, the meter bursts, there can be no talk of any savings.
Having used Delimano, I concluded that he was worth his money and he was coping with my needs. But for bathing, you have to heat the water separately. It will be extremely difficult to drain even half a bucket of hot water from this tap.
Compact dimensions, laconic design, simplicity and ease of installation, moderate energy consumption - all these are the features of Delimano water heaters. A unique device for heating water has already managed to settle in many houses and apartments.
Externally, the Delimano water heater can be confused with an ordinary tap, since the developers of the unit did not use anything superfluous. The device is produced in two versions: with and without a digital display.
The white body of the device is made of heat-resistant plastic and is made in modern style, all the details are rounded, so the device fits perfectly into rooms with any design.
The device has a small size, so it can be used even in small apartments where it is impossible to put a full-fledged boiler.
There is a knob on the body that controls the level of water heating and the very process of its supply and shutdown. The digital water heater has a display, thanks to which it is much more convenient to monitor the temperature of heating the liquid, which means that the process of using such a nozzle is safer, especially if there are children in the house.
The body is also plastic and white, like a standard water heater, the only difference is the presence of metal parts and the fact that the device can rotate 360 degrees. The structure and principle of operation of both models are similar.
The power cord is located on the back of the devices. In front, depending on the model, there is either a temperature indicator or a display, thanks to which it is possible to determine at what temperature the water has managed to heat up.
Delimano water heaters do not accumulate water, they are installed on the tap and give the water the required temperature thanks to the built-in heating element. The process of heating the liquid takes 5 seconds.
The devices operate independently of the whims of utilities, and continuously supply warm water (the maximum heating temperature is 60 degrees, you can set even less).
Setting the handle of the device towards the blue mark means that the tap will dispense cold water. If you need room temperature water, you need to put the lever in the position of the unpainted oval. The red color is an opportunity to get hot water.
Not everyone understands the meaning of buying a water heater from Delimano, because almost every modern house has a centralized hot water supply.
However, do not forget about frequent blackouts. In this case, an instant water heater will be a real salvation. Especially if renovation work is underway, and you can only dream of hot water in the tap.
The water heater will also come in handy for owners of country houses that are not equipped with boilers. The device will allow you to receive hot water without any restrictions. The device will also be useful in comfortable apartments. When settling in a new building, where they have not yet had time to launch communications, this device will be very useful. And these are not all possible options when the presence of a heater is extremely necessary.
Summarizing the above information, we can conclude that this device is useful in such cases:
- when the hot water supply system is turned off;
- in country houses or dachas;
- in the process of moving into an apartment in an unfinished building;
- to save money on utility bills (for the use of hot water) when the meter is installed.
Regardless of the heater model, there is an electric heating element inside the case. When you open the tap, water enters the inside of the device, washing the heating coil. This increases the temperature of the liquid.
To connect the device, the optimal voltage in the network is considered to be 220 V.
Many consumers who have tested the devices speak about the advantages of the Delimano water heater. The list of advantages includes:
- beautiful appearance;
- compact size;
- light weight;
- ease of use;
- ease of installation;
- instant heating of water to the desired temperature;
- acceptable cost.
Separately, it is necessary to highlight the advantages that are stipulated in the bulk of women. Customers add the following positive characteristics from themselves:
- reducing the time for washing dishes;
- the ability to use already heated water when preparing food;
- Ease of performance of work for which the constant availability of warm water is required.
As with any human-made product, Delimano water heaters have drawbacks that buyers vigorously discuss on social networks.
- Very short power cable. One meter is practically not enough for anyone, so you either have to buy an extension cord or make another outlet so as not to violate the aesthetics of the room.
- If the house is old, the wiring may not be able to withstand the heavy load from the heater. The only solution is to replace the entire network in the apartment.
- The Delimano attachments and plugs do not always work, especially if another powerful device is connected in parallel.
- The heating element quickly becomes unusable (scale forms on it). Hard water is particularly detrimental to the heating element. There is no way out of this situation.
- The colder the water in the piping, the more power the Delimano nozzle needs. The 60 degrees declared by the manufacturer will not work.
- Although the instructions indicate that water heats up in a matter of seconds, with a high pressure of water, heating takes much longer.
- The Delimano water heater cannot heat a large amount of water. This is an option for small household use. It will not work with it to take a bath.
- The rather high price discourages many from buying.
- It is difficult to say how long the device will last. Judging by customer reviews, the device can fail at any minute.
In order for the device to work properly as long as possible, you need to use it carefully and take into account the following points:
- the nozzle must be installed only in a vertical position;
- if the house / apartment has a low-power electrical network, you need to be prepared for interruptions during the simultaneous operation of several powerful electrical appliances;
- after long-term operation, the water pressure may decrease, so periodically you need to give the tap a rest.
It is impossible to find a Delimano water heater in ordinary hardware stores, points in the markets. This unit can only be ordered on the Internet. The average price of a crane is 5,000 rubles.
However, after searching, you can find a device for a much lower price.
As practice and experience of buyers show, the Delimano flow-through faucet is ideal only as a temporary device that can deliver a small amount of warm water. If you need to wash the dishes, wash your face in the morning or rinse yourself in the evening, use the attachment for other household needs, you can safely buy the development. It is installed in 10 minutes, you don't even need instructions, everything is extremely simple and understandable. However, this is where all the flattering comments end.
In the process of operation, many face serious problems. It is impossible to turn on a large pressure, in this case the water does not have time to heat up and flows from the tap cold. You cannot get large volumes of warm water, the faucet barely heats up a 10-liter bucket, and it takes much longer to heat such a container than the manufacturer claims.
The big drawbacks include the length of the cord; the power cable is not enough for many users.To improve the situation, people buy extension cords, but another problem occurs, after several minutes of operation of the unit, the plastic of the extension cord melts for many, therefore, additional adapters that can withstand heavy loads are bought.
But most of all, consumers are outraged by the fact that the heaters do not cope with their main task. In most cases, the water heats up to a maximum of 30 degrees, and only when the pressure is minimal.
The attachments that come as a gift are not suitable. And if the apparatus breaks down, it is impossible to buy spare parts for it, therefore, the heater can only be thrown away.

The Delimano tap is a modern novelty that helps to quickly heat water up to 60 degrees. The world of technological innovations replenishes every day. Many advocate the use of the latest advances, others are afraid and treat each new device with caution and distrust. The Delimano crane has caused many resonant opinions about the appropriateness of its use. It is an instantaneous water heater that outputs water at 60 degrees.
The manufacturer describes the product as an instantaneous water heater, which gives water at the outlet of the tap, heated to a maximum of 60 degrees Celsius. The insides of the heater are made of metal parts, and the body itself is made of plastic. The device weighs relatively little and is very compact in size.
The tap that supplies hot water is on the side - this is a plus, since the device does not spoil the overall design.
The faucet is equipped with an indicator that shows the strength of water heating. A convenient handle allows you to adjust the temperature of the water. You can fix the handle at the red or blue mark. Accordingly, if the tap is turned towards the blue designation, then the water will be supplied cold.
Advantages:
- Ease of use. It is especially convenient to use such taps in summer cottages where there is no possibility or desire to mount stationary heaters. Such a nozzle will allow you to quickly heat water for washing dishes, bathing. Heated water is dispensed instantly. And the heating temperature can be easily changed.
- Mobility. The crane can be transported with you and can be easily installed in a new location. This is very convenient when moving to a new apartment. The crane allows you to organize comfort in the absence of utilities.
- Profitability. The crane significantly saves money if there is a meter in the apartment. Then residents may not use central heating, but pay for electricity as it is consumed.
The Delimano nozzle takes up little space, which distinguishes it from large storage water heaters. Each device comes with instructions on how to install and use it safely. It is important to pay attention to the fact that high power is indicated in the characteristics of the device. But the energy consumption is much lower than when using electric boilers.
The Delimano crane is distinguished by its simplicity and compactness. The heater is equipped with a powerful electric heating element inside. It is through it that cold water passes, which the water heater makes hot for a very short time. Many consumers are wondering whether it is advisable to install such a device, whether the device will work powerful enough.
When choosing a meter, it should be borne in mind that although the hot meter stops spinning, the electric meter will start working at a breakneck speed.
Many consumers fear that it is unsafe to use the installation, since we are talking about the interaction of current and water. The manufacturer assures that the fears are in vain. The sturdy faucet is equipped with insulation that will not allow electricity to flow through.The design of the heating element does not provide for the presence of technical components that would cause a hazard. The body of the device itself is made of plastic, which does not conduct electricity at all.
