How It Works
When you turn on the hot water tap, cold water travel through a pipe into the unit and heated either by an electric heating element or a gas burner. The hot water never runs out and you always have constant supply of hot water. Tankless water heaters typically deliver hot water at a rate of 2 – 5 gallons per minute.
