Are you enjoying the luxury of gas or electric continuous flow hot water heating? Well done! You also get some eco-warrior points for saving water as you don’t waste water whilst waiting for hot water to arrive at the tap! It also saves electricity due to demand-only heating or by using gas.
Some people call this system an ‘infinity system’. Not paying to keep 180L to 250L of water heated up, again and again, all day long makes so much sense! Saving your pocket and saving our planet is an extremely attractive proposition.
Add to that the luxury of not “running out” of hot water and you’re smiling for years.
To some, homes and business space is at a premium. As continuous flow hot water systems are tankless, there is an enormous saving of space. They can be installed outside, in a cupboard, or in the garage. Gas tanks will need to be installed in a vented location. There are multiple sizes, heating 1.5 litres up to 37 litres every minute!
To keep your system safe and to extend its lifespan, it is recommended that you have it serviced every two years. Of course, if there seems to be a niggling problem with the system then give us a call for a quick checkup and solution.
If your area is subject to hard water supply, then the manufacturers refer to special attention being given to the heat exchangers. These components, in hard water areas, are susceptible to lime build-up. Your qualified, licensed, insured plumber can prevent this when you schedule an appointment. They will flush the unit with solutions as part of regular maintenance and servicing. Minor lime build-up can be reversed, but if your system is not service and significant build-up damage is caused, manufacturers’ warranties do not cover this.
These trusty workhorses do well with a good clean once a month minimum. This will prevent rusting of the casing or rusting of the flue. If your plumber spots a little bit of rust during the scheduled service, they can gently sand it and apply a metal primer. This primer will stabilise the surface, deactivate oxidisation, protect the area and stop more rust from occurring.
If you are lucky enough to live near the sea, you should be strict about your outdoor unit’s regular monthly cleaning because that aromatic, salty air will be sticking to it daily. If rust is found and sanded, then two coats of primer will do well in protecting it.
If your system has extensive rust, then we can supply you with replacement components.
