Improve your water heater's efficiency by insulating the pipes, using an insulating blanket, lowering the water heater temperature to 60ºC or installing a high-efficiency water heater. For even bigger energy savings, install solar hot water heating.Becca@Electricians In Sydneyhttp://electriciansinsydney.net.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-62381986579460769292012-10-25T02:25:41.915+10:302012-10-25T02:25:41.915+10:30It certainly is an old water heater but not the ol...It certainly is an old water heater but not the oldest I have seen.

There are individual meters along the pipes supplying each flat, so the reading indicates how much water we've used and we pay accordingly. <br /><br />Andrew; water pressure is what I'm pretty sure the pump provides. We are billed directly for our used water. I love those instantaneous water heaters! I even know how to restart the pilot light when/if it blows out. I've used them in many of my homes. <br /><br />Happy Elf Mom; the pump is more likely to provide constant pressure through the pipes. <br /><br />Kath Lockett; Heat-o-Rama.
