Continuous Flow Hot Water units are one of the largest growth products within the hot water industry.
This is what some Plumbers say about Continuous Flow units:
"It's the way of the future"
"Eventually everything will be like that"
Consumers that have a Continuous Flow unit are also extremely happy with their purchase.
- 99% of Continuous Flow purchases are either extremely satisfied, very satisfied or satisfied with their decision.
- Value for money, never running out of hot water and reduced gas bills is what they mostly like.
Commonly asked Continuous Flow Questions:
 |
Can you have more then one outlet in use at one time? |
 |
Yes. These is a wide range of models available to satisfy every hot water requirement, however, like with storage tank systems, water flow can vary when more than one outlet is opened. The INFINITY 24 litre model for example, will supply 3 outlets of 8 litre capacity each. The major factors effecting water flow are ambient water temperature, outlet capacity and gas water pipe sizing. |
 |
Does a continuous Flow unit use less gas than storage tanks? |
 |
Yes. Continuous Flow unit do not store water in a tank, they simply heat water only when it is required. The average home uses hot water for a total of less than one hour per day, so gas is only used during that time. Storage tanks heat water for 24 hours, therefore often using gas even when hot water is not required. |
 |
Are Continuous Flow units like Instantaneous units? |
 |
Generally not. The basic principal of heating water when you need it it the same, but that is the only similarity.
Some of the differences are:
- Considerably more water flow
- Electronic ignition means no pilot light
- More compact because of different technology
- Electronic gas control device
- Lower maintenance
- Optional temperature control panels available
- Electronic water control valves
- Electronic thermisters to measure water temperature
- Much improved safety |
