The issue of creating an autonomous water supply has always been relevant for owners of both country cottages and apartments and houses. Increasing costs of utilities, regular interruptions in hot water, lack of a central water supply line are not all the problems that a user may encounter. But there is an excellent solution - the Mohr gas water heater. The installation of this unit solves all of the above problems and ensures an uninterrupted supply of hot water.

Preventative repair work

For proper operation, the Mora water heater requires regular maintenance:

• From time to time it is necessary to replace the batteries. If they sit down, the spark continues to be produced, but its power is not enough. The standard size of the nutrients is R20 at 1.5 volts. The container with them is located at the bottom of the device.
• If you have hard and dirty water, you should clean and change the strainers on time. They are installed on the cold water inlet pipe. Failure to do this will result in a decrease in pressure over time.
• The igniter is clogged. In semi-automatic models with a wick, the jet becomes clogged with dust over time. You can clean it with a thin soft wire.

If after diagnostics you cannot find the cause of the malfunction, call a specialist.

This instruction manual in Russian is intended for the Mora-Top Meteor heating boiler; it describes the principle of operation and the main points of operating the device.

The manufacturer strongly recommends that you carefully study these instructions before turning on the heating boiler.

Standards for installation and connection of the Mora column

The basic requirements are listed in the technical data sheet of the device and the operating manual. Violations made during installation lead to refusal of warranty service for the boiler. Requirements:

• The connection must be carried out by qualified specialists with the appropriate license and work permit. After installation, a report is drawn up (the form is in the device passport) and a stamp is placed indicating that the water heater is put into operation.
• A coarse filter is installed on the supply pipeline; in some cases, at low pressure, a booster pump is connected.
• The column must not be installed in rooms with high humidity (bathroom, toilet), directly above a gas stove or refrigerator.
• The room used for the boiler room must comply with the standards described in SP and SNiP.

Maintenance of Mora Top geysers should be carried out at intervals of at least 1-2 years.
Independent or unqualified repairs lead to removal of the water heater from the warranty, which lasts 3 years from the date of commissioning. Repairing a Mora gas water heater with your own hands will inevitably lead to a refusal of free service. If a breakdown occurs after the warranty expires, call a gas technician. It is better not to try to repair the water heater yourself.

Common breakdowns and troubleshooting of the Mora gas water heater:

• The main burner does not turn on - the reason is dead batteries, poor water pressure, lack of sufficient oxygen in the room.
• Presence of a leak - the rubber membrane of the water reducer has broken, corrosion has corroded the heat exchanger (a copper coil is installed on the Mohr column, there will be a green coating in the place of leaks).

Let's look at the typical breakdowns of the Mora gas water heater and the necessary do-it-yourself repairs. Before troubleshooting, close the valve on the pipe through which gas is introduced into the water heater. Even if a non-gas part breaks, there is a chance that it will get caught.

Installation of instantaneous water heater

Before installing the speaker, you need to decide on the room and installation location. The room must have ventilation, and the wall must be made of non-combustible material
. Installing a column is usually straightforward and consists of the following steps:

mounting the device to the wall. Standard brackets included in the delivery kit are used.

Pay attention to the strength of the wall and its flammability; connection of cold and hot water pipes. It is advisable to install shut-off valves in front of the inlet pipes; Expert advice: between the wall and the speaker body you need to lay a gasket made of non-flammable material!

Expert advice:

Between the wall and the speaker body you need to lay a gasket made of non-flammable material!

• chimney connection. The chimney is connected with pipes with a diameter no smaller than the outlet of the device. The chimney material must be resistant to combustion products and high temperatures, its length must be minimal;
• main gas connection. It is better to entrust this procedure to professionals involved in the installation and operation of gas equipment.

Control Panel

The control panel in boilers MORA 5118, 5120, 5121, 5122, 5124, 5125 is located in the lower part of the boiler behind the casing and will be accessible if the casing is lifted up approximately 100 mm.

ON/OFF button

When you press the “ON/OFF” button, the boiler turns on or off. When the boiler is turned on, the button will light up.

Heating water temperature adjustment knob

Designed to set the required heating water temperature in the range from 30 to 80°C. If the room thermostat is functioning, the heating water temperature is set to the maximum value.

“SUMMER-WINTER” mode switch (installed only on combination boilers)

When the switch is set to the “WINTER” position, the boiler is prepared for operation - heating heating water or domestic water. When the switch is set to the “SUMMER” position, the boiler is ready only for the process of heating domestic water. This mode is used mainly in the summer, when there is no need to heat the premises.

Thermometer

Shows the temperature of heating water leaving the boiler.

For boilers MORA 5119 and 5123

— the thermometer is installed on the boiler casing — the “ON/OFF” button and the heating water adjustment button are located on the left, under the boiler

Maintaining safe distances

To comply with fire safety, when installing a water heater, the following safe distances must be observed: walls with a flammability degree of B, C1, C2 - min 20 mm, Sz - min 40 mm.

The safe distance means the distance from the external circuits of the water heater and the combustion product removal device to flammable materials.

FLAMMABILITY RATE:

IN

- non-combustible building material (heats or chars)

C1

- low-flammability material (after removing the fire source it will go out in 2 minutes)

C2

- medium-flammable material (after removing the fire source it will go out after 5 minutes)

C3

- flammable material (continues to burn after removing the fire source)

Review of Mora floor standing boilers

Mora Top floor-standing gas heating boilers are presented in more than ten modifications, the main difference of which is the type of burner and combustion chamber used.

• Atmospheric burner - installed in the model range of Mora Top boilers of the ELITE series. It is believed that the ELITE modification is one of the ten best models of heating equipment. The burner is made of high-alloy steel and has a long service life. To increase convenience during operation, it is possible to connect an indirect heating boiler (for domestic hot water) and install temperature sensors. Technical characteristics make Mora's gas-independent floor-standing boilers the optimal solution for heating a cottage or private home.

Pressurized burner - closed type boilers are equipped. They have an automatic ignition unit that automatically starts the boiler in the event of a power outage or a drop in gas pressure. The device has two separate circuits. The primary heat exchanger is made of steel, and copper is used to produce the second. Gas consumption is minimal. This is especially noticeable when changing fuel. Conversion to liquefied gas is carried out by replacing burners.

To increase performance and heat transfer, it is recommended to use antifreeze. The heat exchanger and internal structure are designed taking into account the use of this liquid as a coolant.

As practice shows, the Czech water-heating energy-independent floor-mounted instantaneous gas heating boiler Mora Top is the optimal solution for heating country houses. The absence of complex automation, electricity-dependent components, high productivity - all this distinguishes the equipment of this series.

Carrying out installation work

Mora gas appliances are designed in such a way that installation and maintenance of boilers are as simple and easy as possible. All volatile models have a self-diagnosis function. Information about all violations is displayed on the LCD display. The boilers are equipped with Mora equipment. As a result, automation, burner and other components ensure stable and long-term operation.

Commissioning and adjustment of the boiler is carried out as follows:

• Volatile boilers are connected to the network. The self-diagnosis function starts automatically. The controller checks the presence of pressure in the heating system and gas pipeline. When deviations are found, a signal is issued in the form of a digital value. After troubleshooting, the boiler starts up.

Non-volatile units do not have self-diagnosis functions, automatic flame ignition, etc. Therefore, before starting up and putting the equipment into operation, the company representative must ensure that all installation recommendations are followed. It is mandatory to install a water treatment system and a safety group; you may need to connect an expansion tank and a circulation pump.

Czech Mora gas boilers generally start up without any difficulties, but there are exceptions, mainly related to transportation or installation problems.

One of the common malfunctions of a double-circuit boiler is the failure of the thermocouple. After replacement, the functionality of the equipment is fully restored.

Why you should buy a Mora boiler

Mora's boilers have something that other manufacturers often miss - an understanding of the complexities and peculiarities of working in domestic conditions. A potential buyer is also attracted by the possibility of choosing a suitable model.

A huge range of models is presented: from 15 to 750 kW. You can choose a fully automatic installation and a classic boiler without complex automation. Simple operating rules also ensure the popularity of Czech Mora models.

Floor-standing

Atmospheric floor-standing boilers MORA SA 40 G are recommended for heating facilities located in areas with unstable power supply. Classic series models are equipped with a stainless burner device that operates stably even with low gas parameters. They belong to the class of cast iron boilers and have proven themselves to be reliable, inexpensive and fairly economical heat generators.

Note! According to buyers, today in Russia they are the most common among similar devices. The burner device is simple and operationally reliable. Its advantage is silent operation and low energy consumption

The developers have provided the Mora boiler with maximum resistance to frequent pressure changes in the gas main, including modes with low gas inlet pressure

Its advantage is silent operation and low energy consumption. The developers have provided the Mora boiler with maximum resistance to frequent pressure changes in the gas main, including modes with low gas inlet pressure

The burner device is simple and operationally reliable. Its advantage is silent operation and low energy consumption. The developers have provided the Mora boiler with maximum resistance to frequent pressure changes in the gas main, including modes with low gas inlet pressure.

The longevity of the device is ensured by the inclusion of a cast iron heat exchanger, which does not suffer from low-temperature corrosion, like steel, and does not burn out, like copper. The unit has a burner flame control function using a thermoelement that prevents gas leakage. The backdraft fuse works as part of the protection system and prevents flue gases from entering the room. Electronic regulation with a temperature limiter in the boiler controls the level of heating of the circulating water, and in the event of overheating in an emergency, it will send a signal to the shut-off valve to shut off the flow of gas into the boiler and take it out of operation.

Built-in reliability features

Reliability of units of this design is ensured by the following boiler functions:

• Protecting the secondary boiler from scale formation by applying a special agent to the heating surface.
• Preventing water from freezing in the internal circuit of the heater.
• Guaranteed operation of the pump and three-way valve without jamming.
• Boiler overheat protection. After the gas supply is stopped, the pump will continue to circulate until the medium cools down to an acceptable level.
• Stable operation of the unit at parameters in the electrical network of 160–250 V.

Note! When the circulation circuit is clogged, it is possible to provide movement in the primary boiler with a bypass line

Replacing the membrane

If the gas does not turn on or the burner flame is very weak, the membrane in the water unit may be stretched or damaged. Water may also start leaking from the water block. In a Mora water heater, the water unit is located horizontally.

To get to the rubber membrane, first unscrew the union nuts for water supply and outlet from below. Then the heat exchanger tube going to the rear wall is unscrewed. Use a star screwdriver to unscrew the four bolts and remove the cover of the water block. Three springs are removed and a new membrane is installed.

It is important to buy a membrane designed specifically for your model, as there are now many configurations available. After replacement, all components are assembled in the reverse order, and the operation of the device is tested.

Replacing the membrane in a gas water heater

Features of Mora TOP boilers

The device starts working by turning on the main burner, which is ignited by a piezo igniter depending on the speed of the circulating water, starting from 5.5 l/min. This indicator corresponds to the minimum power of the unit; the nominal one is achieved with a flow of 8 l/min. The unit is supplied without the By-pass function, so when starting the system, leave the valve on at least one radiator open. Adjustment of the technological process occurs in several modes, but always starts in the same way - by turning on the pump.

The main adjustment is made by a capillary thermostat in the network water range of 7–77 °C. More efficient regulation will be performed by a 220 V room thermostat, depending on the user-set indoor air temperature in the room. In this case, this thermostat is connected in series with the capillary one.

To prepare domestic hot water, the Mora TOP boiler can be connected to an indirect heating boiler using additional equipment. In this case, regulation occurs based on the demand received from the DHW thermostat of the boiler (ON/OFF). The capillary and room thermostat remain unconnected, the water temperature is regulated at 85 °C. If the capillary is installed in the “snowflake” position, the unit is in frost protection mode, and as soon as the temperature of the network water drops below, the heated internal circuit water will begin to circulate.

Main types of gas boilers Mora TOP

The main modifications of gas units are divided according to the installation principle - wall-mounted and floor-mounted, according to the design of the firebox - open and closed, and according to the method of removing flue gases, there are three options.

Varieties of MORA-TOP TITAN:

• A device with an atmospheric burner and exhaust of flue gases into the chimney, version B11BS. The boiler will not start up without working pressure of the network water. This is the basic version, comes with a temperature limiter in the boiler, which prevents the water from overheating and turns off the gas supply.
• The atmospheric gas boiler "Mora" is equipped with a thermoelement, an expansion tank in the heating system and a reverse draft fuse that prevents gas leaks in the room.
• A unit with a “Comfort” burner reduces the temperature of the flue gases in the chimney by installing an additional boiler to generate thermal energy for the needs of hot water supply.

Important! The boiler has a function to prevent water from freezing in the heating circuit. When the water temperature in the network circuit drops below +5 °C, it will begin to heat it to protect the system from freezing

A little about the company

MORA-TOP began its 185-year history as a subsidiary of MORA MORAVIA AS. And only in 2003 it became independent. In the spring of next year, construction of the plant began in the Czech town of Unicov. The capacity occupied 5,000 square meters and was built in less than a year, so that in the spring of 2005 the world saw the first Mora instantaneous gas water heater produced at the new factory.

Today the company has a fully established technological chain for the production of equipment, including:

• Technology for processing copper and manufacturing heat exchangers, as well as stamping, degreasing stage, soldering and painting.
• Production of structural thermoelements.
• Assembly of finished products within the assembly line.
• Mandatory testing of devices.

Features of Mora Top geysers

We managed to win the sympathy of buyers thanks to a number of unique characteristics inherent in modern models:

• The presence of so-called “dry start” fuses. Without water, the burner simply will not light.
• Control of burner operation using a fuse. This is how any Mora device works, a gas water heater is no exception.
• Combustion products are prevented from entering the building thanks to a backdraft preventer. Water heaters can be installed inside any premises.

• Protection with a special limiter that controls the water temperature. Overheating of the device is practically excluded.
• From 115 mm - the diameter of the gas outlet neck of Mora geysers.
• The diameter of the tubes is up to 18 millimeters. Special turbulators are mounted on the internal surfaces. They prevent scale buildup.
• The heating rate is 15% higher compared to analogues due to the design of the heat exchanger.
• Automatically maintains temperature if the water speed changes while the Mora is running.
• Fittings from the German manufacturer Mertik. At a flow rate of 2.5 liters per minute or more, the column starts to turn on.

Note! The market price of most models does not exceed 16 thousand rubles.* The consumer properties of the Mora dispenser are higher compared to existing analogues

Advantages and disadvantages

Heating a home and hot water supply are two main issues that can be resolved by any buyer who decides to purchase gas water heaters. Cost-effectiveness and compact size are among the main positive aspects of the devices.

There are other characteristics that can attract buyers:

• The security system that Mora Top speakers are equipped with.
• High quality burner design. The igniter is completely protected from any contamination and damage.
• High efficiency, reaching 94% under any circumstances.
• Equipment works efficiently. Even pressure up to 0.2 atmospheres does not prevent the creation of such an effect in the Mora gas instantaneous water heater.
• Over time, heat exchangers do not leak. This is facilitated by the use of copper as one of the main materials.
• No noise when operating the Mora water heater.

Interesting! The disadvantage is that it is difficult to find parts for some models. Especially if they were released quite a long time ago. Mora gas water heaters are cheaper than existing analogues, but some buyers consider existing prices too high.

Design

In terms of design characteristics, the Mora gas water heater is not much different from its competing counterparts. The device acts as a flow-through water heater, which consists of a special ignition element, a gas-powered burner, a heat exchanger and fittings. The components are installed in a small-sized housing.

Water heater design

When the mixer is turned on in hot water mode, the ignition device ignites the gas leaving the burner. This part provides a reliable and safe flame that heats the liquid in the heat exchanger. When the hot water is turned off, the gas supply is shut off by means of a valve, due to which the main burner stops working.

The ignition design can be electric or piezoelectric. The second option works by pressing a key, as a result of which the igniter ignites and then the main burner. In the case of the electric version, the main source that produces the spark is the voltage from the batteries.

Rating of the best models of Mora geysers

Mora Top flow-through geysers are manufactured at a plant located in the Czech Republic. The devices are characterized as a highly efficient heater with an efficiency of 92%. When operating, the unit makes virtually no sound, so it can be mounted in any permitted location. The fuel mixture can be either liquefied or natural gas.

The Mora Top series of geysers includes the following modifications:

Mora VEGA 10, 10-E, 10-MAX, 10-E MAX

These variations have a power rating of 17.3 kW. The water treatment speed is 5-10 l/min. This is an improved version of modifications 370, 371, 55-02, 55-05.

Mora VEGA 13, 13-E

The models have a power of 22.6 kW with a heating intensity of 6-13 l/min.

Mora VEGA 16, 16-E

The power indicator corresponds to 26.4 kW, heating efficiency is 8-15 l/min.

When choosing one or modifications of Top geysers, it should be taken into account that versions with electric ignition will eventually require the installation of new batteries.

All variations refer to wall-mounted heaters. One device is enough for full operation when 2-3 mixers or other water intake outlets are turned on. All versions are produced in small cases.

Peculiarities

Mohr's flow-through geysers have a wide range of unique characteristics. Actually, thanks to these aspects, the devices have received worldwide consumer recognition:

• all water heaters from the Vega series are equipped with Mertik shut-off valves, which start the water heater at a water flow of 2.5 l/min;
• devices are capable of automatically maintaining temperature conditions when the volume of water consumed changes;
• the heat exchanger, thanks to its design features, can help increase the heating rate up to 15% compared to competing brands;
• due to special turbulators installed on the inner surface of the pipes, the likelihood of scale formation is eliminated;
• the heat exchange device has a temperature limiter, which prevents the system from overheating;
• The reverse draft safety valve eliminates the possibility of combustion products entering the room.

In addition, the safety of using instantaneous water heaters should be highlighted. This factor is responsible for the fire fuse, which controls the functioning of all burners, as well as a “dry start” device, thanks to which the burner will not start working if there is no water in the apparatus.

A flow-through gas water heater belongs to the middle price category and in the technical market its cost does not exceed 16,000 rubles.

VIDEO: What criteria are used to choose geysers?

Installation of Mora geyser

Before installing the instantaneous water heater, you need to find out in which room the installation will be carried out. The room must comply with safety rules, have a ventilation system, and the walls must be made of fireproof material. As a rule, installing a geyser does not cause any particular difficulties, since the work consists of 4 simple steps.

1. Fixing the device on the partition. The brackets that come with the kit are used. Here it is important to pay attention to how strong the walls are so that they can support the weight of the device.
2. Conducting hot and cold plumbing systems. This procedure is often carried out by specialists, since it requires the use of special equipment. But the main thing here is to ensure that shut-off valves are installed in front of the pipes.

In the gap between the partition and the water heating device, you need to install a layer of non-combustible material.

1. Connecting the chimney pipe. The chimney is connected using pipes with a cross-section no less than the size of the outlet of the device. The pipe must consist of a material with increased resistance to high temperatures and combustion products.
2. Connecting a pipe from a centralized gas main. This manipulation must be entrusted to representatives of the gas service, otherwise a mistake may be made, and problems may subsequently arise in compliance with safety standards, as a result of which specialists will issue a fine.

Operation and repair work

The operating process consists of turning on the device and setting the required temperature conditions. To carry out this work, you need to turn the lever on the front panel to the desired mode. There are 4 main handle positions:

• disabled;
• setting a small burner on fire;
• starting the main burner;
• automatic operation.

The second lever is designed to set the water heating temperature - 25-55°C.

If you select a high level of liquid heating, the water flow through the water heating system will decrease.

The operating life of the columns is 12 years. Based on consumer reviews, it should be noted that repair work during the use of water heaters is extremely rarely required. Often, if the manufacturer's recommendations are fully followed, the main cause of problems is the accumulation of scale or salts in the system. Here you only need to clean or flush the heat exchanger and water system.

Also, after some time, users noted a decrease in efficiency and deterioration in traction. Most likely the problem lies in the accumulation of soot or soot. It is enough just to disassemble the gas path and clean it of deposits.

If you detect a smell of gas or other more serious damage, you should immediately contact a service center that diagnoses and repairs geysers. Otherwise, more global problems may arise.

VIDEO: Problems and solutions

The Mora geyser is a Czech-made product from the company MORA-TOP, which has been producing heating and hot water equipment for almost two hundred years. In this review, we propose to consider the most popular lines of speakers of this brand, learn about their key characteristics and get acquainted with the opinions of users. This way you can make a conclusion whether it’s worth buying the Mora column or continuing to look for products from another brand.

Scale deposits in the heat exchanger

Mora heat exchangers are made of high-quality copper, 1 mm thick. The water heats up inside the tubes and scale accumulates on their walls. This leads to an increase in heating time and a decrease in pressure. The main sign of clogging of the heat exchanger pipes will be that water flows actively from the tap, but the pressure through the column is weaker.

To clean scale yourself, you should remove the casing from the water heater, drain the water and unscrew the union nuts from the heat exchanger outlets. After this, a special liquid for dissolving salts, which is sold at a hardware store, is poured into the tubes using a hose. Instead, you can use a solution with citric acid or vinegar. You will need to wait a few hours for complete cleaning.

For prevention, the heating temperature should be set to no more than 50 degrees. If the temperature is higher, scale deposits especially actively.

Radiator contamination

The radiator is made up of metal plates with a small distance between them. Since they are exposed to the flame from the burner, soot accumulates between them over time.

Gas water heater radiator

This can be seen from the yellow color of the fire. The flame can be directed not in the upward direction, but to the side, thereby heating the casing. The water takes longer to heat up even when the column is running at full power, and black soot pours out from under the device.

For repairs, you should remove the column shell, disconnect the heat exchanger pipes and completely dismantle it, first covering the burner with a rag so that it does not become clogged. The most convenient way to clean the radiator is in the bathroom under running water. If necessary, it is left to limp in a container with chemicals. At the end, it is cleaned with a soft long bristled brush, dried and installed back.
