A closed loop with a heat exchanger protects the collectors from limescale. A good choice where the water is hard.
Ask about modelsWhen should you replace your water heater?
A solar water heater runs for many years, but it does not last forever. These signs mean it is time to consider replacing your dud shemesh or electric boiler:
- Leaks from the tank, connections or valves
- Rusty or cloudy hot water
- Hot water runs out quickly, even in summer
- The heater is more than 10 to 15 years old
- High electricity bills because the heating element runs for hours
- Repeated repairs on the same heater
Repair or replace?
If the tank is intact, the heating element, thermostat or safety valve can be replaced. If the tank itself leaks, repair is usually not worth it and a new water heater is the better choice.
Send us a photo of the heater, its model label and the problem, and we will tell you honestly what makes more sense.

The main differences, so you can choose well.
| Type | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Solar water heater (dud shemesh) | Water flows through collectors on the roof, is heated by the sun and stored in the tank. An electric heating element switches on when there is little sun. | Most homes with a roof or sunny spot that want to save on electricity. |
| Heat exchanger water heater | A liquid in a closed loop is heated in the collectors and passes its heat to the tank water through a heat exchanger. | Areas with hard water and limescale, and colder locations. |
| Electric water heater (dud chashmal) | An electric element heats the water in the tank, regardless of the sun. | Apartments without roof access, or as a backup. |
Which water heater size do you need?
A rule of thumb. The right size depends on how much hot water you use.
| Capacity | Usually suits |
|---|---|
| 100 to 120 liters | A small apartment, 1 to 2 people |
| 150 liters | A family of 2 to 4, the most popular size. The Chromagen 150 liter is rated for up to 5 people. |
| 200 liters | A family of 4 to 5 or high water use |
| 250 liters and above | A large family, several showers and baths a day |
Water heater repair: common problems
- No hot water: most often a burnt-out heating element or thermostat, or a problem with the circuit breaker
- Leaks: a loose connection, a damaged valve or a rusted tank
- Dripping safety valve: high water pressure or a worn valve
- Hot water does not last: limescale in the collectors or element, or a tank that is too small
- Noise in the pipes: limescale or air in the system
What to check before you call
- Is the water heater breaker on in your electrical panel
- Is there water on the floor or a leak under the tank
- Take a photo of the model label on the heater
Do not open the electrical parts of the heater yourself. Work on water heaters and electricity must be done by a qualified professional.

Frequently asked questions about solar water heaters
How much is the Chromagen 150 liter solar water heater?
The store price is ₪1,800 including VAT. This is the price of the heater only, without installation and delivery. The current price is on the product page.
What is a dud shemesh?
Dud shemesh (דוד שמש) is the Hebrew term for a solar water heater. Collectors on the roof heat the water with the sun and the tank stores it. An electric element works as a backup.
Is installation included in the price?
No. The store price is for the heater only. For installation, message us on WhatsApp and we will prepare an offer.
How many people is a 150 liter heater enough for?
According to the manufacturer, the Chromagen 150 liter is suited for up to 5 people. The real amount of hot water depends on how much you use.
What warranty does the heater have?
4 years of warranty plus 4 years of limited warranty. Ask us for the full details.
When should I replace the heater instead of repairing it?
If the tank itself leaks, replacing the heater is better. If the problem is the heating element, thermostat or a valve, replacing that part is often enough.
What is a heat exchanger in a solar water heater?
A heat exchanger passes heat from a liquid in a closed loop to the water in the tank. Your household water does not flow through the collectors, so less limescale builds up there.
Can I replace an electric boiler with a solar one?
Usually yes, if there is room on the roof and approval from the owners or building committee. We will check the best option for your home.
