7. Tankless water heaters are less affected by calcite sediments than tank heaters. In addition, they don’t need constant maintenance servicing and replacement of parts.
8. Thermal cyclic transmitter and disconnector control temperature rise. Flow switch turns off the water heater at scarce water pressure.
9. You can regulate water heat level: from economical running to maximum rating.
10. Tankless water heater is energy saving due to the function of heater capacity varying.
11. It is provided with built-in protection from current leakages.
12. New models have touch-sensitive panel and keys to regulate not only cold water flow but also heater capacity.
