Hot water heater

Question 15

Remember that you should mark the ovals for devices that the household has as well as those that it does not have. [These instructions refer to a graphic of question 15 on the census form. Arrows point from the following options:

5.6.3.- Washing Machine - Hot Water Heater for Bath: It should be asked if it has a Washer and if it has a Bath Warmer. If it only has a Washer circle 1 will be marked, if it only has a Bath Warmer circle 2 will be marked, in case it has both appliances circle 3 will be marked, when it does not have either circle 0 will be marked.

The last question of the Dwelling form has the intention of knowing most exactly the socioeconomic level of the household or the households that reside in the dwelling you are enumerating. The specialists in social science and statistics have come to the conclusion that one of the best ways of measuring the social and economic level of persons who inhabit a dwelling is through the registering of the appliances like radio, stove, electric iron, black and white television set, color television set, refrigerator, washer, bath warmer, telephone, vacuum cleaner, hot water tank, automobile vehicle that is not used for work or is principally for recreation. It is supposed that together with the evaluation of the state of the dwelling and the measuring of the education level, establishing if the households possess or not this type of appliances is a good indication of the social and economic level of the people who compromise the respective household.

As you will observe, it concerns those appliances that can be owned by one or more members of the household in question, but that are used by all of them. You should mark with an X, in each case, if in the household exists or not each one of the mentioned appliances.

[To the left of the text is a form.]

{Definitions respective of each type of appliance that is included in question 13}

In the case of the appliance radio or television in black and white or in color you should register if they "have" it or they "do not have" it in each household the type, size and number of them not being important. About the stove you should be careful that it concerns an appliance or mechanism made with the purpose of cooking or heating food. This means that an electric or gas grill, for example, or portable stove, a collection of stones or logs used in an improvised manner by the residents of a dwelling each time they want to eat, with the purpose of heating or cooking food is not taken to be a stove.

By what is referred to as "electric iron", it is clear that you should register only irons that work via electricity.

The refrigerator is found in a large amount of Costa Rican households due to, among other things, the increase of populations or human settlements that have electricity service. Nevertheless, refrigerators that work with other types of energy exist. In the case of those that are run on for example butane gas, consequently, you should register as "refrigerator" the appliance that is used to store in the cold food or materials that are perishable, the type of energy that it needs so that its motor works is not important. All this does not concern a freezer or other appliances that people use to keep their food cold, in which case you should indicate that the dwelling does not have a "refrigerator".

The washer does not offer major problems in comprehension since it only is an electric or gas machine that washes clothes.

The same thing does not occur with mechanisms that are employed to heat water that the members of a census household use both to bathe as well as to clean equipment. Two types of appliances exist that are used in dwellings to heat water: "bath heater" that is also known as "termo-hit", and the "hot water tank". The first is an electric appliance that is placed near the spraying or water exit and is connected to it to heat this water once it is connected by means of a "switch", to interrupt or connect to the electrical current.

[p. 36]

On the other hand the "hot water tank" is a deposit of metal of other material that is used to heat a good amount of water and keeping it hot during a more or less long time of the day. This appliance is generally electric but the case can be given that you will find tanks for heating water by other means of energy. The "hot water tanks" are connected generally to the pipe that brings water to the baths and kitchens. Two different lines exist to write down what refers to "Bath heaters" and "Hot water tanks". If it has only a tank do not write down heater and if it has only a heater do not write down tank; it can be that it has both or it does not.

As to what "telephone" refers to, simply register if the dwelling that you enumerate "has" or "does not have" this service by the ICE.

The "vacuum cleaner" does not exist in all the houses in our country, but it is very probable that you will find in your segment dwellings households that have this type of appliance.

Finally, something about the "vehicle (not for work)". It is important to emphasize that here only those automotive vehicles not used for work of the Census Household should be included. In other words, you only should say yes if in the household there exists any automobile, "jeep", van, "station wagon", etc. that the family members use basically for moving from one place to another be it in pursuit of fun or pastimes be it for shopping or going to their place of work. But careful with confusing a vehicle that is used simply for going to work and from there back household or any other place! When it is specified that it concerns a "vehicle (but not for work)", it is because you should ignore those automobiles, "picks ups", "jeeps", trucks, vans, etc. that the household uses for work and with which the head of the household or any other member of the household works (transporting products, distributing articles of consumption, carrying people, etc.

18. In this dwelling do you have...?

Those devices of the dwelling that are found in good condition and used by its inhabitants will be included.

[p. 122]

If more than one household is found in the dwelling, the devices of all the households will be included and these should be recorded in the questionnaire for Household 1.

The devices of the landlords (they rent a room from an individual dwelling), should not be included, even though these are used by all the people of the dwelling.

Below some of the devices will be described:

Hot water system for the entire house: this is any type of system that heats water from at least two tubes of the house, like for example, bathrooms, dishwasher, and wash machine. This includes: water tanks and heaters. This excludes: thermal showers or other systems that only heat the water of the shower.

Heater

Which of the following appliances does this household have?

The appliances for this question are read, one by one; if the household has the appliance, the circle is filled in according to whether it is electric or not.

If the household does not have the appliance, the circle in the corresponding column is filled in.

For quantity, the circle corresponding to the number of appliances of the same type owned by the household is filled in. If in any case there are more than 3, the circle 3 is filled in.

Domestic appliances

H13. Household durables.
Are any of the following items owned by members of this household?

[H13] Household durables

26. The dwelling has hot water supply (hot water tank, or tank-less system):

The dwelling has hot water supply (hot water tank, or tank-less system):

Section C: Residence facilities
If your residence has several heating types or several types of hot water supply, mark all existing types.

13. Main energy source.

Only one answer for each use.

C. Hot water

Amenities

31. Other amenities (mark the corresponding boxes)

In this section, we investigate the existence and characteristics of some of the services that should be in every dwelling, such as water, drains, lighting, etc.

c) Amenities:

Other amenities:

In this section (line 31), we only want know if some amenities exist in the dwelling in addition to those already listed; among them we take into account if there is a radio, television, refrigerator, washing machine, water heater, and telephone. Contrary to the sections above, in this part you will mark as many small boxes as what corresponds to the amenities that exist, no matter how many of them there are.

Any kind of hot water supply, even a boiler used for washing-up is accepted. In case the hot water is supplied from several sources the one used for bath should be marked.

I. Dwelling data

[Questions 2 through 23 were asked of all occupied private households, seasonal and non-residential housing unit]

10. Type of water supply in the dwelling

10.1. From pipeline or from private pipeline (e.g. from well by pump) must be marked in case water supply is obtained through a tap installed inside the dwelling thus the dwelling is connected to a community water conduit or a well.

10.2. Any form of hot water supply can be marked only if dwelling is supplied with water thus from pipeline or from private pipeline (e.g. from well by pump) is marked at question 10.1. If the dwelling is supplied with hot water from more sources (e.g. from hot water pipeline and also from individual hot water reservoir) then the answer must reflect the hot water used for wash-up, bathing.

Has the household the use of hot water tap?

Q.27, Q.28, Q.29: Water supply, bath or shower and sanitary facilities
You should check that entries have been made in the appropriate spaces for these questions and that they are consistent with one another and with your own knowledge of the district. In particular, you should ensure that the questions relating to the possession of a hot water tap, the sharing of a bath or shower, the situation of the sanitary facilities and the sharing of sanitary facilities are answered.

7. How is the water for the bath or shower heated?

90. Do you have the use of the following items available to you?

2. Instructions for answering questions

g. Appliances at the household's disposal
The importance of the data on appliances which are at the disposal of the household lies in the information obtained on the standard of living of families from different localities and different types of places. This information, together with other data, is used by the Central Bureau of Statistics to determine the standard of living grades of localities or areas in the localities. This information is an important factor in the distribution of government budgets and other budgets (such as: Mifal HaPayis - the National Lottery) to the local authorities.
Question 10.70-10.210 - Now I will ask you if you have the following items:

- These questions examine the existence of these items and not necessarily their ownership. In other words, an item can be considered as available for the person's use even if he does not own it. For example: a person lives in a rented apartment where there is a washing machine that belongs to the landlord, or a person who got a cellular phone from his workplace.
- Write the respondent's answer even if he says a certain item is not at his disposal and you see the item in the apartment.
- If there are two or more households in the apartment and the appliances in the apartment are used by all the people living in it - each household should state that these items are at its disposal.
- VCR/DVD - VCR does not refer to a video camera, but to a device for recording and screening video tapes.
- Personal computer or laptop - does not refer to palm computers, but to desktop computers (PC) or laptops.
- Internet connection - only refers to internet connection from the apartment (and not general use of internet. For example: a person who has internet connection at work).
- Number of phone lines - if a household has more than nine phone lines, write 9.
- Number of cellular phones - if a household has over ten phones, write 10.
- Number of vehicles - if a household has over nine vehicles, write 9.

3 Water and sanitation systems

3.2 Is hot water available in the dwelling (in the bathroom and/or kitchen)?

3 - Water and sanitation systems

Question 3.2
Availability of hot water (for sanitary purposes in the bathroom and/or kitchen: sanitary hot water) refers only to water that is heated by a permanent system, not on the stovetop or with other systems.

Question 19

[An image displaying question 19 of the census form is omitted here.]

The question is to be asked as phrased: "Does your household have any of the following items?".

Multiple answers are allowed in this question. Whenever a respondent says "yes" to any or more of the above items mark the appropriate box. The household is considered as having the items even if it is only hired or bought on hire purchase and not fully paid for.

Take special note of the following:

18. Household equipment
In this dwelling they have a:

18. Equipment
This question looks to find out some of the installations that the dwelling has, which provide the residents with conditions of well-being and comfort, like the type of stove, if there exists tanks to store water, basic installations for personal hygiene, and electric meters.

• Wood or coal stove with chimney. This is an installation for cooking or production of heat via the use of wood or carbon that has a duct to take away the smoke that is produced by using the stove.

• Cistern or underground water tank [aljibe]. These are containers constructed or prefabricated to store large volumes of water.

[Figures are omitted]

Use the following definitions to explain to the respondents in case of doubt:

• A raised water tank is a container of large water storage capacity; it can be made of plastic or asbestos. Usually, it is located on the roofs of dwellings, although it can be located at the ground level. Sometimes people call it Rotoplas, because it is the name of the most publicized water tanks brand.
• A cistern or reservoir is a large water container built underground or at ground level; sometimes it can be a buried water tank. The important point is that people can store water in considerable quantities.
• In some places, the informant can respond they have a sink or basin where they collect water. If this basin is a big concave structure made of stone or concrete and it is used to store water, record that this dwelling has cistern or water tank.
• A water pump is a device which has a motor that serves to drive the circulation of the water. It is mainly used to raise water from one level to another, e.g., to a water tank that is located in a high place, or to suck water from a well.
• Note that the cistern or reservoir and the raised water tank can supply water to more than one dwelling and can use the same pump, e.g. in an apartment building or duplex, triple, or quadruple houses, record that each of those dwellings has this equipment.
• A boiler or water heater is a device that serves to raise the water temperature. It can run on gas, electricity, or wood; regardless of the type, record this device in this option.
• A solar water heater, as the boiler, rises the water temperature, but it does through solar cells that capture the sun's energy.
• An air conditioning is a device used to cool closed spaces (e.g., bedrooms). They are common in places very hot.
• An electrical solar panel is a device that captures sunlight to generate electricity. A dwelling can have solar panel regardless it has electricity supplied by the CFE or other source. An electrical solar panel is also known as a photovoltaic module.

15. Equipment
These questions identify whether the housing unit has equipment or facilities that allow for greater functionality and comfort in the daily activities of the residents.

Read the question mentioning each equipment, listen to the answers, and select the code that corresponds in each case.

Use the following definitions to explain to respondents in case of doubt:

The tinaco is a large capacity container to store water that can be made of plastic or asbestos. It is usually located on the roofs of houses, although it can also be found at ground level. Sometimes, the population calls it Rotoplas, as it is the most publicized brand of water tanks.

[Figure omitted: image with text]

[p. 246]

The cistern or reservoir is a large water tank that is built subway or at ground level; sometimes, it can be a buried water tank. The important thing is that the population can store water in considerable quantities.

[Figure omitted: image with text]

Note that the cistern or reservoir and the water tank may store water for more than one housing unit and may use the same water pump, for example, in an apartment building or in duplex houses; in these cases, consider that each of the housing units does have such equipment if the respondent declares it.

In some places, the respondent may respond that they have a basin where they collect water. If the pool you are referring to is a large stone or concrete construction used to store water, consider that it does have a cistern or water cistern. Plastic drums are not considered.

[Images omitted]

The water pump is a motor-driven device used to drive the circulation of water. It is mainly used to raise water from one level to another, for example, to an elevated water tank, or to suck water from a well.

[p. 247]

The sprinkler is a device that once installed to a water supply, falls in the form of rain and allows it to wash the body in an agile and comfortable way.

The boiler or water heater is a device that has the function of raising the water temperature. It can run on gas, electricity, or wood; regardless of the fuel you use, consider it in this option.

[Images omitted]

The solar water heater, like the boiler, raises the temperature of the water, but it does so by means of solar cells that capture the sun energy.

An air conditioner is an appliance used to cool closed environments, for example, rooms in the housing unit. They are frequent in very hot places.

The solar panel for electricity is a device that captures the sun's radiation to generate electricity. A solar panel can be installed in the house regardless of whether it is supplied with electricity from the CFE or another source. It is also known as a photovoltaic module.

Hot water heater (tank)

Question 22: In this household they have?

-This refers to whether the household has, or not, the electro domestic appliances and/or vehicles that appear on the list. In each option, you should necessarily mark one answer.

22. In this household they have: Yes / No

17. Does this household have a...

Question 17: Does this household have ...

You should not assume the answer through simple observation of the conditions of the enumerated household since it could be that you are looking at a television that does not work.

9. Hot running water in dwelling

16. Technical appliances in the dwelling (Questions 6-10) [p.19]
Both working and broken technical appliances should be indicated. What is more, all appliances, which are in possession of inhabitants, but haven't been plugged in yet, should also be indicated (for example in a newly constructed building). However, appliances which are broken for longer than a year shouldn't be registered at all. For informational purposes -- piped water and flush toilet should be taken into consideration as plugged in and local appliances.

Question 6. Is there piped water in this dwelling? [p. 55-56]

Part 6b- fill in only in case when in part 6a the given answer is: 1. Yes, both hot and cold water:

H6. Is there a flush toilet in this structure?

H7. There a bathtub or shower in this structure?

[For a vacant unit, also fill D, E, A, H2 to H7, and H9 to H11]

8. Does this house, apartment, or mobile home have:

8a. Mark "Yes" to "hot and cold running water" even if the unit has hot water only part of the time.

8d. Mark "Yes" to "sink with a faucet" if the sink is inside the house, apartment, or mobile home and the water can be turned on and off with a faucet.

8e. Mark "Yes" to "a stove or range" if the stove or range is inside the house, apartment, or mobile home. Portable cooking equipment is not considered a stove or range.

8g. Mark "Yes" to "telephone service..." if (1) there is a telephone in working order, and someone receives service at this house, apartment, or mobile home; or (2) if someone has a cell phone from which you can both make and receive calls. If service has been discontinued because of nonpayment or any other reason, mark the "No" box.

8a. Mark "yes" to "running water" if running water is accessible inside the housing unit through pipes.

8b. Mark ''yes'' to ''water heater'' if the housing unit has a household appliance that provides a more or less constant supply of hot water for cooking, cleaning, or bathing.

6 Hot water installation

The following answers will be checked for consistency:

If in Q.6 - hot water supply installations, the answer recorded was code 1 (public network), then at Q.5 - water supply system - must also be marked code 1 (the dwelling has water supply system from public network);

If in Q.6 the answer recorded was code 2 (private supply installation), then Q.5 must be marked with code 1 or 2, as appropriate (public network or private/own system).

The box for code 3 (none) in Q.6 will be marked for dwellings without any hot water installation.

33. It is considered that the availability of hot water exists in the housing units either when the hot water is piped to the bathroom, kitchen, or other toilets group, from the public community network, or when the housing units have available own hot water supply installation.

The way of recording:

-- the mark x will be recorded on the box for the code 1 for the dwellings receiving hot piped water, within the house, from the public network scheme;
-- the mark x will be recorded on the box for the code 2 -- when within the dwelling it is available a hot water own supply installation, (steam -- generating station, boilers, electrical -- boiler, etc.) and is not

[p.28 ]

receiving any hot water from the public network scheme. There are included into this category the housing units having both to the kitchen and bathroom the geothermal water.
-- will be recorded the mark x on the box of code 3 when the hot water is available within the building but outside of the dwelling;
-- the mark x will be recorded on the box of code 4 -for dwellings without any hot water installations.

Particular situations:

15. Hot water supply system

E13-E15. Record all equipment and means of transportation and production owned by the household by entering the 1 in the appropriate boxes. Enter 0 if there is none.

E13. Household equipment

Note: For the following questions (E13 to E15), record all equipment goods, means of transportation, and production owned by the household by entering the number 1 in the appropriate boxes. Enter 0 if the household does not have one.

E13: household equipment goods
This information provides a measure of the socioeconomic status of the household. Cite each good and record code 1 if the household has this good. For a good that the household does not have, record 0.
NB: The household has equipment goods if they are functional or momentarily broken down. There are several possible answers.

Now, I am going to ask you some questions related to housing, household goods and services, crime and agricultural activities for this particular household.

Household goods

The objective of this question is to evaluate the equipment and comfort of the households.

Act with tact and discretion in the consultation. Do not assume absences of some of the elements asked about due to the external characteristics of the dwelling. You should mark "yes" or "no" for each one of the elements.

You must also consider only the goods that are in working condition, beyond simply momentary break-downs and independently of whether or not they are owned by the household.

• Water heater or boiler: Select the option "yes" if the household has

• a means to heat the water that allows its storage at a determined temperature, without mattering the type of energy used for heating the water.
• gas heater that provides hot water for heating as well as direct use, in the bathroom or the kitchen
• a system known as "centralized hot water"

• Instant water heater: a unit for heating water that is activated when it detects the circulation of water or the user connects it to initiate the heating. As opposed to the water heater or boiler, it does not store the hot water. An example are the Rialco-brand heaters or the "chuveiros" although there are other commercial brands.

• Refrigerator or freezer: This indiscriminately includes the common refrigerator, the refrigerator with freezer, or only the freezer. There are machines of this kind that function with gas or kerosene (that don't consume electrical energy). If this is the case, you must select "yes."
• Machine-operated clothes dryer: An electrical appliance that dries clothing with the circulation of hot air.
• Radio: Consider any type of radio apparatus, including battery or integrated to another apparatus (for example a MP3 with FM radio)
• Color TV, how many? Consider any type of television: common, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) or plasma. Record the quantity of the televisions (TV) that the household has and that are in working order. If the household does not have color TV mark 0. If the household has 10 or more televisions that work, record 9.

The Plan Ceibal machines are not included, since they are examined in the previous question. Note the quantity of PCs or of laptops that the household has.

• Internet access: Mark "yes" if the household has access to internet, whether via broadband (fixed or mobile) or via dial-up or Plan Ceibal. Keep in mind that the access must be achieved from the dwelling that you are interviewing. Record the option "No" if the members of the household most move to a place outside of the dwelling in order to connect to the internet. If the informant declares that he/she receives the internet signal from a neighbor (for example by capturing the Wi-Fi signal) you should select the option "Yes."
