Water Heaters & Treatment

Water heaters heat and supply hot or boiling water to areas that need to have direct access to hot water such as cooking or cleaning stations. Suitable for use in both commercial and residential premises, they simply plumb straight into your cold water supply. Running on electricity, they can run separately from your existing heating system and only heats water when it is being used meaning there is no wasted hot water. Water heaters are extremely fast, convenient, and economical. Simple to install, all our products come with installation instructions, however it is recommended that you hire a professional to carry out your installation. Electric water heaters are a great alternative to gas or lpg.

Our Range

We have a variety of products for you to choose from and depending on your type of project will determine which type you should use. You’ll find that we have both instant water heaters and unvented models available. Read further to find out more about each of these models and what they are used for.

Unvented Water Heaters

An unvented water heater offers several benefits over other types of hot water heater. This includes higher pressure or higher flow rates as well as balanced hot and cold-water supplies compared to vented and point of use systems. One of the biggest advantages is that an unvented model will heat the water straight from the mains supply meaning that you won’t need to purchase and install an expansion tank. This also means that it is extremely flexible as it can be placed anywhere that has access to a cold water supply and an electric supply. These are available as both over sink or under sink varieties, giving reference to where they should be placed.

Instantaneous Water Heaters

An instantaneous water heater provides an instant & constant supply of hot water which is achieved without the use of a storage tank. When the tap is turned on at a pre-set temperature, the water is heated by an electric element as it flows through the pipes exiting the tap at the temperature that was set. When used in homes, they are ideal for use in utility areas, bathrooms, and kitchens, whereas commercially, you’ll often find them in cafes, restaurants, and bars as they are often used for hand washing stations and cleaning areas.

What Is The Difference Between A Boiler And A Water Heater?

Both a boiler and a water heater heat water, so functionally, they are very similar, however their purpose is quite different. A boiler is generally used to heat large amounts of water throughout your home for a multitude of applications. This can include but is not limited to washing, drinking, cleaning, and heating systems for central heating. Users can have it running continuously or at set times using a timer.

Whereas water heaters heat water that will simply be used for a ser task. This is usually for cooking or cleaning, but it gives the user instant access to hot or boiled water at any time of the day directly from your cold mains water supply without having to use energy to keep it hot. It only uses energy when you turn it on so if often used to save energy as you don’t have to heat huge amounts of water that may not all get used.
