The Vector geyser is considered one of the most popular water heaters on the domestic market. All parts are made in China, and despite this, the devices are not inferior in quality to more expensive analogues. In addition, product testing takes place under the strict supervision of customers. Many people say that geysers are long outdated. But this type of water heater remains a productive and inexpensive source of energy. Another advantage of heaters from Vector is their small dimensions, even if you have a small room, the equipment will not take up much space. Note that the brand’s assortment is quite modest, but all models have good characteristics and are quite cheap.
How does a gas water heater work?
- The “heart” of the water heater is called the heat exchanger. Its components are hollow copper tubes. Cold water enters the heat exchanger and is then heated by the burner.
- Regardless of the model and cost, all speakers are equipped with an electric ignition function. This adds reliability to the safety system, due to the absence of an igniter with a constantly burning flame.
- After the tap has been opened, the water-gas unit comes into operation. The device consists of three parts: water and gas units and an adapter between them. The valve operates only after sufficient water pressure appears. The regulator is responsible for controlling and supplying gas.
- Another part of the water heater is the burner. First, the burner burns the air mixture and then directs it to the next element - the combustion chamber.
- All excess products are removed from the combustion chamber through a steel gas outlet. There is a sensor inside it that turns off the equipment if there is not enough traction. Under the influence of temperature, the thermostat heats up and opens, after which the burner stops working.
- To protect the device from overheating, the heat exchanger has a sensor located in the place where the maximum water temperature is measured. After the water heats up to 80 degrees, the gas supply stops.
- The last element is the fuse, which is responsible for regulating the pressure.
Advantages of Vector water heaters
The technique has several advantages, which have made it very popular among Russian buyers.
Price
Not everyone can spend more than 10 thousand rubles on such a device, and it is quite difficult to do without it in a country house or in a private house. The Vector brand does not have models more expensive than 4 thousand rubles - despite this, the equipment is of quite high quality and versatile.
Design
The equipment looks stylish and discreet. The column will not attract attention, and sometimes will even highlight the interior. The manufacturer also took care of the compact dimensions of the equipment. In the event of a breakdown, the owner can always find the necessary spare parts, which will be inexpensive and will extend the life of the device.
Control
All models are equipped with a simple and convenient control system. It consists of two switches. The first regulates the gas supply, and the second is responsible for the amount of water entering the heat exchanger. There is also a technique with a third switch for the “Winter/Summer” function. The first program uses all burner sections. The “Summer” program, on the contrary, disables some sections - plus savings.
Recommendations for using geysers Vector
For a longer and more effective use of the gas water heater, you must follow the instructions for its operation. It describes the procedure for turning on the unit, protecting it from freezing and the cleaning process. When using this equipment, it is necessary to take into account external conditions, for example, if the water is hard, then the gas water heater must be cleaned at least once every 6 months. It is advisable to heat the water no more than +60 degrees Celsius, since in this case there will be significantly less scale.
Malfunctions in geysers Vector and methods for eliminating them should only be determined by specialists. The procedure for diagnosing a water heater can be seen in the video.

Disadvantages of Vector water heaters
Don’t think that for modest money you will buy newfangled equipment that will last for decades - this is not so. You need to understand that budget options are not designed for long-term use and cannot offer innovative technologies that are present in expensive analogues. It happens that after a season of use, equipment requires repairs and replacement of parts.
Another drawback is heat exchanger burnout. Although it is made of copper, its layer is quite thin. Therefore, over time, the heat exchanger can no longer withstand high temperatures and the equipment breaks down.
Even these shortcomings do not stop buyers and the heaters are actively selling out. Some people think that they are much better and of higher quality than models from the more expensive segment. In any case, you cannot say for sure about the quality without testing the water heater yourself.

Possible malfunctions during operation of Vektor Lux Eco geysers
_______________________________________________________________________________
There is a automatic flow-through gas water heater Vector Lux Eco. Tell me why it began to heat up the water weakly? What operations need to be performed to fix the problem? First of all, there is a blockage in the heat exchanger. The high density of deposits in the heat exchanger partitions prevents proper heating of the water, and the water heater begins to heat the water poorly. For this reason you must clean the heat exchanger. The second problem is systematic overheating of the heat exchanger. This occurs due to improper use of the unit. An increase in temperature promotes the formation of scale, which inhibits the heating of the liquid. In this case, change the heat exchanger. I use a gas water heater from this company at home. After four years of operation, the heat exchanger began to leak. The repair did not help, and after two months I purchased a new water heater. The installer said cleaning and maintenance should be done every year. I cleaned and did preventive maintenance. In short, this device worked for 4 years, but the problem was the same - wear of the heat exchanger. Why is this happening? Presumably, there are problems with water quality, which is why the heat exchangers are leaking. A model of the specified brand is connected in a private house. Help me understand why excessive heating of water occurs periodically? What kind of malfunction is this? Apparently the regulators are set incorrectly. It is recommended to install during the summer season. Use the gas flow adjustment knob to reduce the gas on the burner device, and then increase the water flow on the water heater. A malfunction has occurred with the Vektor Lux Eco 20-2 gas flow column. The pilot light starts to burn, I leave it in this position for about 5 minutes. Then I put it in operating mode, but the device goes out. Why did this happen? Try to remove the lining, unscrew the tube through which gas flows to the wick, and rinse. In general, this event should be carried out once a year, mainly at the end of summer, because the windows are open and dust will get into this pipe. I can’t figure out what problems might cause a gas water heater to function unsatisfactorily in some cases. How to fix it? Presumably, the burner has an unstable flame, which means the membrane is worn, and the pressure of the rod on the gas valve is too weak. It is recommended to remove the water block from the gas fittings. After this, unscrew the cap from the water unit and inspect the membrane for defects, and if it is not suitable, install a new one. Last year we installed this gas water heater for heating. Recently, a problem with ignition has been revealed. When there is a request for DHW, the wick begins to ignite. It lights up and immediately goes out, and after this the water heater turns on again. And so two or three attempts. Then the operation of the device is restored. I just don’t understand why the pilot flame can’t light the main burner? What could have happened? Currently the column works like this. A spark flashes, which ignites the igniter. Then the spark supply process stops, the igniter burns for a short time and goes out. The device again emits a spark discharge, the pilot light starts to burn, the spark disappears, and after a short period of time the main burner starts working. Most likely, there is damage to the ionization sensor. First of all, you need to inspect it. Naturally, it is better to mount a new one, but if this fails, you will have to clean this one with sandpaper. Also clean the burner using a wire brush. After these operations, be sure to make sure that the wick burns with a blue flame and not yellow. In addition, the flame must reach the ionization sensor. We installed and connected the Vector Lux Eco gas water heater at the end of that year. But with the onset of winter, a problem constantly appears, namely, there is not enough gas and, moreover, the gas is not clean. Help me troubleshoot? There is a screw on the bottom of the device. It is necessary to turn the burner counterclockwise while the burner is operating and adjust the desired amount of fire. In summer, screw it back. If this action does not help, then the pressure in the gas pipeline is really weak. The water heater has been in use for almost six years. Recently, the igniter stopped turning on, and when you try to light it with matches, the wick may immediately go out when you switch the regulator to the working position. How to be in this case? I encountered the same problem. Experts suggested that the thermocouple needs to be replaced. Tell me about the malfunction of the gas water heater. When you open the hot water tap, for some reason the device goes out. I cleaned the thermocouple, but the result was zero. We examined the membrane, everything was fine with it, but one way or another we installed a new one. The water pressure has decreased, although only slightly. What is the problem? Apparently, the traction is unsatisfactory or the traction sensor is faulty. You should check this out. Sometimes, instead of a draft sensor, a bent tube is mounted on top of the water heater. With its help, air is supplied, which supports combustion. If the draft is disrupted, it is not air that passes through the tube, but smoke. Accordingly, there will not be enough oxygen for the burner, which will cause it to go out. Additionally, you need to check the pilot flame. It must completely enclose the thermocouple. If this does not happen, then the thermocouple heats up slightly and does not send an ignition signal to the main burner. The other day I noticed a serious malfunction: the Vektor Lux Eco automatic gas water heater began to turn off during operation. Could you tell me what the reason is and how to eliminate it? Most likely, there is a malfunction of the membrane in the water unit. It could be deformed or worn out, so it needs to be replaced. It is also recommended to check the gas solenoid valve, as it contains a solenoid coil that may have failed. Repair of the coil is not possible, only replacement. Please advise on geyser malfunctions. After a short period of time after starting, the unit goes out completely, and then the wick can only be lit with matches. Explain to me what to do? We assume that there is no draft in the chimney, and therefore the draft sensor may trigger and the device goes out. You should have your chimney inspected. In addition, the heat exchanger may overheat when the temperature rises to 90C. Because of this, the overheating sensor will turn on, which will extinguish the burner fire. To reduce the water temperature, we recommend reducing the gas supply to the main burner using the regulator. I am interested in the following question: what is the problem when a gas water heater lights up and immediately goes out? How should such a breakdown be repaired? The first reason is a clogged chimney. Apparently, there is a large volume of soot inside it, and flue gases are poorly removed, as a result of which the draft sensor will work. It opens the thermocouple and the water heater flame goes out. Another reason is gusty wind, which can extinguish the flame of the column if there is a draft in the room. Because of this, the protective mechanism will work and shut off the gas supply. Try to protect the building from strong winds. But still, there is no need to completely block access to fresh air, since the device must work with an open window. If there is no fresh air, there will be a lack of draft and the flame will go out. A Vektor Lux Eco 20-3 gas water heater is installed at the dacha. Tell me, please, why did she start heating the water intensely? What needs to be done to resolve the problem? The suspected cause may be too high blood pressure. Set the liquid heating temperature regulator to maximum flow, and set the gas regulator to the minimum gas flow into the burner position. This adjustment helps to lower the temperature of the water leaving the device. What causes ignition delay and why does the gas burner make popping noises? The spark from the ignition burner does not reach the main burner, or it is insignificant. The injector and ignition mechanism must be cleaned. Next, make adjustments. Column malfunction. I try to start it, a spark is visible, but the igniter does not ignite. How to fix? Pilot burner nozzle clogged. Needs cleaning. The ignition electrode is not in the correct position. Configure it. Presence of air in the gas pipeline. Eliminate the air. We installed and started up the Vector 20 gas water heater. The problem is that the device starts to work, but then goes out after two or three seconds. In most cases, this happens at night, when the device is in standby mode for some time. In addition, if it heats water constantly, it no longer turns off. With long switching of the microswitch, the water heater lights up and functions well for about a week. What is the reason here? There is no need to flip the microswitch, just replace it with a new one, because yours is broken. The device's actions are approximately as follows. First, a spark appears and is supplied to the ignition device. The ionization signal passes, gas is supplied to the main burner, and the flame lights up. If there is no signal that the igniter is functioning, the main burner device will also not start working. Your igniter sends a signal, but the main burner does not start. The ignition seems to be starting, but there is no signal, therefore the gas supply is suspended. You need to clean the electrode. There is a similar unit. What causes the pilot burner to go out during ignition? What problem is this? Damage to thermocouple. Replace it. The coil is faulty. Install a new one. A question has arisen regarding the operation of the Vektor Lux Eco 20-2 column. Here's what happened: the pilot burner is lit, but the main burner is not functioning. What needs to be done and how to fix it? Lack of water pressure. Make the required system pressure. You need to turn the regulator to the extreme right position. The membrane is damaged. Change it. In a private house we use a column. If you stop the flow of water, the gas burner device continues to operate. What is the cause of the problem? The gas valve shutter is clogged. Check it out. Clean if necessary. The hydraulic valve rod is jammed when open. Dismantle parts, clean, replace if necessary. Check gas supply pressure. Make adjustments if necessary. Replace the cylinder pressure reducer. Can anyone explain what is the reason that there is no spark when the unit is turned on? The thermocouple wire is disconnected. Secure the wiring properly. Damage to the ignition element. We recommend diagnosing this component and adjusting it. The electrode has failed. Replace it.

In operation, the Neva VPG-12E gas water heater, after turning on the hot water tap, the water heater lights up, but the temperature does not rise above 20 degrees. The water pressure is normal, it does not respond to the regulator for increasing the flame, as it was 18-20 degrees, it remains so. What could be the problem?
- ARISTON
I connected the Ariston Marco Polo Gi7s speaker. Everything is working. But the device turns on the second time. That is, you turn on the water, the column starts up, clicks and goes into error E1. Then he closed the tap, opened it and it started. Powered by a cylinder. Is this possible because after it works I turn off the gas?
- ELECTROLUX
There is a malfunction of the Electrolux 275 geyser, when you turn on the hot water, everything lights up and works for 5-7 minutes, after which there is a click in it and it goes out along with the igniter. Tell me what is the problem?
_____________________________________________________________
- OASIS
Malfunction of the Oasis TUR 20 geyser. In the “Summer” mode, the gas and water regulator is at maximum. It goes out on its own, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 30. In the “Winter” mode, with any combination of controls, it goes out after 30-40 seconds. What can be wrong? Water supply via flexible hoses. Could they be the cause? If yes, what should I replace it with?
- VECTOR
Tell me, I have this problem: when the water is turned off, the column lights up on its own, the temperature rises and does not turn off (I had to take out the batteries), I put the batteries back in (I don’t turn on the water), it lights up, what should I do?
- ASTER
Help me find the reason, geyser Astra 8910-02, when hot water is turned on it goes out from time to time, I cleaned the thermocouple until it shines, the membrane is in good condition, but just in case I replaced it with a new one, the water pressure is less than that of cold water, what else note?
- BOSCH
I installed and put into operation a Bosch WR 13 gas water heater. I switched the nozzles to liquefied gas, removed the jumper from j6, that is, switched it to liquefied gas mode, but the water heater does not work, who knows anything about this? When turned on, the green button lights up for a couple of seconds, and then the red button starts blinking and only the fan turns on.
- JUNKERS
The Junkers gas water heater began to malfunction. It works for 15-20 minutes and goes out. You turn the water off and on, the igniter lights up, and after a few seconds it goes out, and you can do this no matter how many times, it doesn’t light up. A little time passes - it works, and everything repeats again. The water pressure is good, as is the gas pressure. What could be the reason?
