So my hands have reached the hot water "boiler". Now you will see how I will cut the "boiler". Who worked for about 10 years in the organization. We will see that inside the tank, as well as there will be a foreign lump interfering with work. But let's start in order. Let's get started:

Water heater company "Ariston SG 10 OR" with a power of 1200 watts. The volume of the tank is 10 liters.

First of all, unscrew the screws securing the access cover to the shade and thermostat.

On the right you see, a thermostat with a temperature controller. On the left is TEN, the dry part.

The next step is to drill a rivet on the back of the water heater. To remove the plastic sheath.

Having hardly removed the plastic, we see the "carcass" of the tank in polyurethane foam.

The next step, rip off the foam, expose the storage tank.

Having carefully examined it, it is clear that the main problem of this boiler is the leakage of the iron container.

I fasten the tank to a vice and start sawing the enamelled "canister".

The problem with this water heater was the leakage of the iron tank. The enamel with which the container was covered with time began to fall off and mix with scale. The process is normal and natural. The service life is 10 years, with intensive use, a fairly decent period of time. Therefore, as a plumber, I can say that he is constructively executed for a good four. Such a water heater, but updated, is on sale now:

By the way, look at what we managed to find inside:
