How to Choose The Right Water System For Your Home
by Boris Dzhingarov on Jan 12, 2017
Choosing the right water system for the home requires some careful thought. There are several different types of hot water systems to choose from, which need to be studied before the buyer makes their final purchase. The water heater will be a vital component of the house for years to come, so it is important that the right decision is made. Read this helpful guide in order to learn more.
Solar Powered Tanks
The first type of tanks to consider are powered by the rays of the sun, which makes them extremely eco-friendly. This is an important consideration, especially as global warming and energy conservation are becoming increasingly mainstream concerns. The rays of the sun heat up liquid in the solar panels that have been fixed firmly onto the roof. The energy from the heated liquid is transferred into the water heater by a copper conductor that will heat the water.
Solar panels can be expensive to install, but they are a wise investment, especially in a country that gets as much sun as Australia does. Research different companies before making a final decision on which company to use. The best is to find one that provides an extensive range of plumbing services as well as supplying solar powered heaters.
Conventional Tank
The conventional tank works by storing constantly heated water which can be sent to different appliances when it is needed. These tanks are useful for households which use large amounts of water on a daily basis and are ideal for people with large families.
The conventional tank can run on a variety of different substances. Some will be powered by gas, whilst others will use electricity. There are several advantages and disadvantages to the different types of conventional tanks.
Firstly, a gas tank will be slightly more economical than an electrical tank, and the gas tank should last slightly longer than its electrical counterpart. However, this type of tank runs the risk of leaks occurring, which can lead to poisoning or explosions to occur, and may need to be fixed by a plumbing firm.
Conventional tanks can last for anything up to 20 years before they have to be fully serviced or replaced. This means that homeowners won't have to spend lots of money on costly repairs.The tank can then be replaced with a new model. This will ensure that the boiler system continues to work efficiently, and the homeowners won’t have to worry about the rising cost of utility bills.
Conventional tanks can hold between 75L and 300L of water at any one time, depending on the size of the tank.
Hybrid Tanks
The hybrid tank works by heating cold water inside the tank with heat from outside using a pump. The water is then sent to different parts of the house through the network of utility pipes. This method is used to try and ensure that as little heat as possible is wasted during the whole process.
There are several types of a water heater. People should read this guide before they make the final choice on what type to buy.
