Ariston water heaters are continuously being enhanced to ensure their reliability and durability. ROBERT PEARCE, general manager of the Paul Weil Group, the UAE-based agent for Ariston, elaborates:
Most people give little thought to their water heaters until they stop working, then the hassle factor is considerable - no hot water and the inconvenience when the water heater is being replaced.
This involves not only the additional costs of a new water heater but also cost of actually removing the old, failed unit. Often superficial damage is caused to ceiling tiles, ceramic tiles and any products the water may fall on.
There are many factors people do not consider when buying a water heater. Soemtimes, the purchasing decision is driven only by the price, without consideration to the many other aspects of buying this apparently simple product.
Over the years, Ariston has become the preferred choice of customers in the Gulf because it does what it is supposed to do - and for a longer time, without failure and with the minimum inconvenience. It is one of the very few manufacturers that offers a five-year guarantee with its water heaters.
Ariston has proven over time that not only is the product exceptionally durable, it is typically much more cost effective because the associated expenses of replacing the product regularly are avoided, unlike alternative, less durable and products.
The latest product introduced by Ariston is the new Super Glass Royal, with a five-year guarantee, aimed directly at the contract and project sector. The product has double-layer glasslining and external regulation to make the adjustment of the water temperature both easy and convenient.
The Super Glass Royal has all of the durability features associated with all Ariston water heaters.
One of the many reasons for this durability is that Ariston has an excellent research and development team. As a result of the experience and ingenuity of this team, Ariston has introduced many new innovative and unique ideas, like the Ti Tech, with a 10-year guarantee.
The Ariston Ti Tech is the first water heater in the world to combine titanium and enamel. It is distinguished by the brand Titanium Plus Inside. The innovative enamel offers extremely high levels of performance in terms of hygiene, resistance to corrosion and long life. Perhaps more important is that there is no additional cost implication for this range.
The latest technology is utilised in the production of these heaters through the use of materials such as the titanium-glasslined enamel. This enamelling meets the German quality trademark TUV.
Thanks to its high elasticity, the titanium glass-lined enamel remains firmly attached to the internal surface of the boiler, easily adapting to the dilations the latter undergoes due to temperature changes. Also this enamel adheres uniformly to the steel surface, creating a highly-protective layer of even thickness. More than that, the Titanium enamel is further distinguished by its very low porosity, reducing the risk of soluble substances attacking it.
Ariston water heaters feature a thick layer of high-density foam insulation that provides very significant energy saving. Other features include anodes made from corrosion-resistant magnesium, top-quality heating elements and multiple safety devices such as a thermostat and pressure safety valve.
The quality of Ariston water heaters is guaranteed right from the very first stage of the production cycle and continues through the entire production process, from quality welding to assembling. All work is carried out and monitored by experts. As far as safety is concerned, every single component undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that the water heater is in constant and perfect working condition.
Ariston also offers a wide range of high-capacity water heaters which are manufactured to cover the needs of hot water for all industrial applications. These high-capacity water heaters feature extensive specifications such as thick glasslined protected steel, controlled enamel application for uniform thickness, multi-magnesium anodes for a better tank protection and a wide range of capacities (200-3,000 litres) and power ratings.
Ariston's concern for its customers extends beyond the point of purchase. This is evident in the after-sales service, which is available now in the UAE and Saudi Arabia to show its full commitment to its customers. In the unlikely event of any complaints, its team respond within 24 hours using the fleet of Ariston vehicles.
Merloni TermoSanitari (MTS) Group, the Italian manufacturer of Ariston electric water heaters, is also one of the world's leading manufacturers of gas water heaters, steel baths, heating elements, thermostats and air conditioners.
