What Are The Pros of Instant Hot Water Systems?

Since the introduction of instant hot water systems, our lives have been made dramatically easier in more than one way. These systems are connected to various taps in our homes, giving us access to warm or hot water whenever we need it. Other than the fact that they are instantaneous, do these systems offer any other benefits?

The 3 Types of Hot Waters Systems and Their Benefits

Currently, there are 3 different types of instant hot water systems, each with its own benefits.

1. Storage or Tank Hot Water System

This is the most popular of the three in the market. You will require a professional plumber to install this hot water system in your household as it is connected to the mains water supply. When you turn on the faucet or shower, the tank will send the heated water.

The storage hot water system ideally comes packed with an array of useful features including an adjustable thermostat and a filter.

The best thing about this system is that you’ll never need to fill it and can produce hot water in large volumes, making it ideal for a large household.

2. Tankless Hot Water System

This is another type that has gradually gained popularity in the last several years, primarily because it is light and portable as it doesn’t use a tank. A tankless system is ideal for homes that do not have a lot of space to spare as it’s way smaller than storage or tank systems. Most people opt for this type as it doesn’t need a plumber for installation and it’s energy efficient since it only heats the water when needed.

3. Heat Pump Water System

This is the newest of the three and similar to the tankless type, it does not require a plumber for installation and does not store the water that it has heated. The heat pump hot water system is run by either a manual push down pump or a built-in electric one. It will heat water, similar to what you would do in a kettle or pot before sending it to the destination. It has an adjustable thermostat, but you’ll need to refill it as most of these systems have a capacity of just 5 litres.

The primary advantage with all these three instant hot water systems is that they negate the need for a kettle. You will be able to use the water for an array of cooking needs like 2-minute noodles, tea, hot chocolate, coffee, etc. This helps improve the speed of preparing food and beverages while helping avoid the hazards associated with kettles. We all know how severe the scalds from spills and touching the surface of a kettle can be.
