How they work
With a regular combi boiler NJ there is a storage tank that holds twenty to one hundred gallons of water, which is continuously heated for use. With the tankless water heater NJ you just turn on the faucet for warm water. The water will flow through turbine senses, which will gauge the incoming water’s temperature. Then these senses will see what the temperature is set on at the thermostat. It calculates the difference between these two temperatures so you get the desired water temperature. When you turn the water off the heater will go into temporary shutdown mode until you need more hot water.
