Model overview based on user reviews  
The Zanussi Fonte water heater has received mixed reviews from users. While some appreciate its design and powerful performance, capable of delivering a decent flow of hot water, others have experienced significant issues. A recurring problem is the defective heat exchanger, which many users report leaking within a few months of use. This has led to frustration, as repairs are frequent and costly. Additionally, the product's reliance on electronic controls requires a stabilizer, which can be inconvenient. The service maintenance has also been criticized, with warranty claims being denied due to installation issues. Overall, while the Zanussi Fonte has potential, its reliability and service support are concerning for many consumers.

G ... but rare !!! After 3 months, the heat exchanger leaked. For 6 months !!! holes in the heat exchanger tube. I got tired of soldering after 3-4 days. If you don’t want to throw away money and nerves, find something else, but not this Chinese shit.

Where the cold water supply is, there's a "gizmo" screwed in with a pin fully notched. On the diagram, it's marked as the "unscrewing water valve" and this is the one on my boiler that is !!!Leaking!!! And quite a bit! I don't know what to do. I know it shouldn't be leaking. Can anyone offer advice?

The Italian brand is famous for good quality appliances for every taste and low-cost. Model instantaneous water heater GWH 10 Fonte perfectly combines the necessary functionality, compactness and affordability.

Appearance

Externally, the speaker is a unit of a classic rectangular shape in white with two control knobs, an electronic temperature display, a flame control window on the burner and a logo on the front panel. The compactness and simplicity of the GWH 10 Fonte is a pleasant surprise. The dimensions of the water heater are only: HSHG 55x33x18.9 cm with a weight of just over 8 kg, and the controls are intuitive.

Functional

Before starting operation, it is required to charge 2 LR20 batteries in a special compartment at the bottom of the case, since they are responsible for ignition. It is better to use alkaline and well-known brands of batteries, while alkaline batteries will last less than two weeks.

The pressure type of the water heater allows you to use it at several points at the same time, but you must take into account the low performance of the model: respectively 50 and 25 ºС at 5 and 10 L / min. That is, you have to choose, either one point with good pressure and hot water, or 2 or more, but then, in order for the water to be hot, the pressure in the taps needs to be made weaker.

The regulator on the front panel on the left is responsible for the heating temperature, on the right — for the power. And here you have to experiment in order to adapt and find the optimal settings for yourself.

The device is equipped with a reliable overheat protection sensor system and a copper heat exchanger, which gives the manufacturer the right to declare a 5-year model resource, after which it must be disposed of in accordance with the standards established by the gas service.

Given the low-cost of the water heater, you can forgive him some noise in operation, and periodic crackling after turning off, after all, the metal of the case is thin. You should also take into account the increased requirements for ventilation of the room in which the speaker is located (the area of the room is not less than 8 m2), but this is the lot of all units with an open combustion chamber.

Otherwise, GWH 10 Fonte cannot be reproached for shortcomings, the water heater fully justifies its price.
