Tankless water heating step by step

  1. Your water heater detects that a hot water tap has been opened in the house.
  2. Its flow sensor determines how much hot water the tap requires.
  3. The igniter activates, and a gas control valve opens up to supply the necessary propane.
  4. The fan and venturi activate to provide the correct amount of gas and fuel.
  5. The premix burner ignites. This produces a flame to heat water.
  6. In the secondary heat exchanger, the unit preheats cold water. This preheated water passes from the secondary to the primary heat exchanger.
  7. The water heater determines outgoing set temperatures. It adjusts its flame accordingly.
  8. The heated water moves to the buffer tank, then to the faucet.
  9. When the tap is closed, the water heater switches off.
