Hot Water Only When You Need It
A storage system keeps a tank hot around the clock whether anyone uses it or not. A continuous flow unit sits idle until a tap opens, then a flow sensor fires the burner and heats the water as it passes through the heat exchanger. When the tap closes the burner shuts down. That is where the running cost saving comes from.
Efficiency and Frost Protection
The M26 runs a high efficiency heat exchanger with a low emission burner and electronic ignition, giving 86.6% thermal efficiency and a 6.5 star rating. An overheat sensor protects the heat exchanger, and temperature sensing frost protection circulates small amounts of warmed water to stop the unit freezing in cold conditions.
