Everything You Need To Know About Instantaneous Gas

Hot water installerInstantaneous, or continual flow, gas refers to a hot water system that only heats up as much water as you require. The gas starts to heat the water when the hot water tap is turned on by initiating the gas burner and heating the water as it runs through a coiled pipe. Rather than heating a full tank of still water, the unit only heats the water that is needed, shutting off the heating process when the hot water tap is turned off.

Benefits to installing an instantaneous gas hot water system include:

  • Save money
  • Less Water Wastage
  • Better For The Environment
  • Safe For Your Family

Save money

Rennai instantaneous gas hot water systems also come with a 6 star efficiency rating, so you are assured you are getting exceptional quality and saving money.

Less Water Wastage

The ‘instant’ effect of an instantaneous gas hot water system also ensures you wait less time for your water to get hot, so less water wasted. The instantaneous gas hot water system can also be connected to bottled or underground gas lines.

Gas heating is widely used in Australia. We heat, cook and refrigerate with it. With gas we are enjoying the conveniences more and more with the supply of natural gas plus technological advances in gas products. However, it is essential to recognise the safety risks associated with not properly maintaining your gas appliances to prevent damage to the unit, explosion or fire in the home or even carbon monoxide poisoning.

Damage to The Unit

Reading and adhering to safety and operating instructions for all gas appliances is essential for efficient running of the unit and to prevent damage to the structure itself and surrounding areas. Incorrect use of the product will more than likely void a warranty and leave you with a costly repair bill (and a cold house!).

What to do with a noisy tap?

Do you have a noisy tap, that is driving everyone crazy?

Tap Problems Call Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water & Gas

Possible causes for a noisy tap

Sometimes this is also referred to as water hammer. It is when a shock wave of high water pressure in the pipes is caused by the sudden closing of a valve. Want to know what could be causing your tap to scream and make those unbearable noises? It could be any of the following reasons:

  • Faults in your plumbing design
  • Mineral deposits on the aerator
  • Faulty tap washers
  • Wrong size of tape or pipe
  • A buildup of scale
  • Solenoid valves on appliances
  • High water pressure

Why is my tap constantly dripping?

Firstly, check your water meter when no water is being used to see if it is still ticking over. If so, the leak will be either through your pipes or from your tap washers. You will be pleased to know that this is a quick fix. However, if there is a leaking pipe – you may need to search for damp patches in either your garden or your lawn. These are sometimes a little trickier to locate.
