Abstract: The invention relates to a compensation assembly for use in a hot water device and an associated hot water device. The hot water device includes a water tank for holding water to be heated, and the compensation assembly includes a compensation vessel and a ventilation component that allows air to be exchanged between the compensation vessel and the atmosphere. The ventilation component includes a blocking element designed to prevent water from leaking from the compensation vessel via the ventilation component.

Abstract: An expansion assembly for use in a hot water device, having a water container for receiving water to be heated, includes an expansion tank with a lower expansion tank half shell and an upper expansion tank half shell. The lower expansion tank half shell has a coupling portion for coupling to the water container of the hot water device. The upper expansion tank half shell is configured to be coupled to a cold water feed line. The upper expansion tank half shell and the lower expansion tank half shell are hermetically connected at circumferential edges forming the expansion tank.
