Continuous flow
Continuous Flow Hot Water in Perth
Continuous flow suits households that want a compact wall-mounted unit and hot water that does not run out — provided the unit is rated for the outlets you run at once.
In short: Continuous flow systems heat water on demand as it passes through the unit, so there is no storage tank. Sizing is based on litres per minute at a given temperature rise rather than tank volume.
How flow rate sizing works
A continuous flow unit is rated in litres per minute. Two showers at once need roughly double the flow of one. Undersizing shows up as a temperature drop when a second outlet opens, which is why the rating is matched to real usage rather than the size of the house.
What the installation needs
- Adequate gas supply and correctly sized gas line
- Mains power for the unit's electronics
- A compliant flue or outdoor position with clearances
- Tempering or thermostatic control at the outlets it serves
Converting from a storage system
Moving from storage to continuous flow usually means a new position, revised gas sizing and an added power supply. It is a bigger job than a like-for-like changeover, so the quote sets out exactly what is included.
