Continuous Flow (Instantaneous Hot Water)
We are starting to see a shift in demand, with continuous hot water systems becoming more popular in Australia. Continuous / instantaneous hot water systems, as the name suggests, produce an instant and endless hot water supply, without using a tank.
How does Continuous Hot Water work?
Continuous flow is hot water whenever you turn the tap on, the water is heated as it flows through the system so it is essentially never-ending hot water, unlike a storage tank where hot water is heated and stored. The temperature is set at 50 degrees on continuous flow systems rather than 60 degrees which is required as a minimum for other storage tanks to minimise bacterial growth. Continuous flow systems do not accumulate bacteria and the lower temperature makes it safer for families with small children.
They are generally cheaper to run than electrical or gas hot water systems but more expensive than solar and heat pump systems. They have less greenhouse emissions and are cheaper to install.

- An instant and endless supply of hot water
