Instant electric water heaters and quick-heat electric water heaters are important types of electric water heaters. They are similar in appearance. In fact, there are many differences between the two. How do consumers distinguish between instant electric water heaters and quick-heat electric water heaters when purchasing? Below, Xiaobian will give you a few tricks.

Difference 1: heating principle
The instant electric water heater is a water heater that can quickly heat the water through electronic heating components, and can control the water temperature, flow rate, power, etc. through the circuit to make the water temperature reach the temperature suitable for the human body bath.
In the high-power state, the rapid-heating electric water heater uses a heat-conducting heating body to convert heat into heat energy, which transfers heat to the water, and uses powerful heat to rapidly heat the water.

Difference 2: different power
In order to achieve the goal of fast heating, the power of the hot electric water heater is usually above 5000W. However, the power is too large, and the requirements for the installation circuit are also very harsh. It is difficult for the ordinary household line to bear more than 7000W, and the safety problem is also a big problem. Hidden dangers. This is also an important reason why the market share of instant electric water heaters is still not comparable with traditional water storage electric water heaters.
The power of the quick-heat electric water heater is mostly between 3000W and 5000W. The installation condition is lower than that of the instant electric water heater. The user does not need to re-modify the household electric meter, circuit wiring, etc., and can be installed and used.

Difference three: heating speed
Instant-type electric water heaters can usually start heating in a matter of seconds, thus having the advantage of being instant on or off without waiting.

The heating rate of the quick-heating electric water heater is slower than that of the instant type, and it is impossible to achieve the effect of immediate opening, and it is necessary to preheat in advance for about 15 minutes.
