Domestic hot water tank - Efficient hot water storage for your system
A domestic hot-water storage tank is an indispensable component for efficient hot-water preparation in conjunction with heating systems and solar thermal systems. In terms of economy and convenience, it is an impressive solution for providing heated water for heating systems and household applications. Unlike drinking water storage tanks, a domestic hot-water storage tank is used for the support of the heating system or for the use of renewable energy sources such as solar thermal energy. They offer an optimal storage solution and are available in various sizes and designs - ideal for single-family homes, apartment blocks or commercial applications.
Making the right choice
When purchasing a domestic hot-water storage tank, it is important to determine the exact storage requirements. This depends on the size of the household, the individual hot-water requirement and the type of heating system.
Variants of domestic hot-water storage tanks
The storage tanks are available in different variants, including enamelled tanks with corrosion protection for robust and cost-efficient use, stainless steel tanks for maximum corrosion resistance and durability, tanks with solar heat exchangers for optimum integration into solar systems and combination tanks that combine domestic hot-water and buffer storage tanks in one device and are ideal for complex heating systems.
Maintenance and care
Regular maintenance of a domestic hot-water storage tank is crucial to ensure its long-term functionality and efficiency. This includes checking the sacrificial anode, which protects enamelled storage tanks against corrosion and should be checked at least once a year and be replaced if necessary, as well as descaling, which removes deposits in regions with hard water, increases the service life and reduces energy consumption, while a professional inspection by an expert ensures that the storage tank functions optimally and any damage can be repaired at an early stage.
