The storage cylinder is made from high strength steel tough enough to withstand varying water and heating cycle pressures. Special thermostat keeps water at a temperature of 73°C meaning you use less hot water for the same length shower you’re used to enjoying with a 4 star energy efficiency. The balanced flue and steel jackets make gas models easy to install and easy to live with. They can be installed on an approved base against a wall or recessed into a wall cavity. If you need a spare part it’s good to know they are readily available across the country and can be serviced by most plumbers or electricians.

Same as 20 year old replaced unit. Easy installation

My unit has been installed for 2 weeks, and performing quite well. I had to install the temp control that regulates the water to a maximum of 50 C. This is a requirement by law as advised by my good friend Pete the plumber. I think when the cold weather hits us again, I will not be using any cold water. lol
