When producing a hot water, there are two main methods that the company’s product uses:
– Indirect fired: Using tank within tank design, the heating occurs at the boiler level and the water will circulate in a steel outer tank that is actually a wrap-around of an inner stainless steel tank. This way there will be an endless hot water supply keeps flowing through the pipe into the end faucet.
– Tankless heater: This unit can be used when there is not enough space allowed in the basement. A tap water will circulate through a coil which is installed in the boiler.
