Gravity Fed Hot Water Systems
Despite being one of the most reliable hot water systems they are FAST becoming obselete. Gravity Fed Hot Water Systems are most commonly found in the ceiling of older homes or businesses and the water is heated by electricity. They rely on gravity to deliver the hot water which is usually at a much lower pressure and flow rate to the cold water. They are mostly replaced when they start to fail or as people renovate as modern tapware and water saving devices are largely incompatible with gravity fed units.
