Continuous Flow Hot Water Systems: Everything You Should Know
As their name suggests, continuous flow hot water systems heat water as it flows from your pipes into the system and to your taps. This system is tankless; therefore, its capacity must be measured in terms of flow rate. A two-bathroom house will generally require a flow rate of at least 22 litres. The larger the house, the more outlets the water heater will have to supply, so the higher its required capacity.
Advantages Of Continuous Flow Hot Water Systems
Continuous flow hot water systems provide (almost) instant-hot water. Generally, the time required for your water to feel hot will depend on the length of your pipes and the consequent distance between components of your supply and heating systems. However, it shouldn’t take longer than a few seconds. Comparatively, traditional hot water tanks will need to heat several litres of water in advance, which can take up to half an hour, depending on the size of the tank and the efficiency of its energy use.
Continuous flow hot water systems also save on energy consumption, because just the amount of hot water you need will be supplied. While tank-using systems will need to heat enough water to service a couple of showers, and maintain this water’s optimal temperature until the system is switched off.
Disadvantages Of Continuous Flow Hot Water Systems
Continuous flow systems must always be running in the background to ensure your demand for hot water is immediately serviced. In some cases, this can mean higher energy spending than traditional systems, for instance, if you live alone and have limited use for hot water.
