If you’re chasing your tail with all this jargon about gas continuous flow and gas storage systems, we don’t blame you! The difference is, a gas continuous flow system will heat the water as you need it, so you won’t have a water storage tank. The water is heated by a gas burner as it flows through a coiled pipe whenever you turn on the hot tap. That means there is no heat loss from a storage tank and as a result, you’ll also reduce your energy costs.
We recommend gas continuous flow systems for smaller households or those with lower hot water requirements to ensure you don’t exceed your system’s heating capacity. The only downside is that the water runs through the system slower to give it enough time to heat, so you may notice a lower pressure than water storage options.
