6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Ariston ANDRIS LUX water heater.

6.1 Anti-Corrosion Protection

The unit features an enameled steel tank and a magnesium anode for enhanced anti-corrosion protection. The magnesium anode should be inspected periodically (e.g., annually) and replaced if significantly depleted, especially in areas with hard water.

6.2 Anti-Limescale Resistance

The shielded heating element is designed to resist limescale buildup. However, in hard water areas, periodic descaling may be necessary to maintain heating efficiency. This procedure should be performed by a qualified technician.

6.3 Access for Maintenance

Maintenance is facilitated by the front flange opening, providing easy access to internal components such as the heating element and thermostat.
