so efficient, both high flow rates and
high pressures are available to give the
best performance for both baths and
showers.
Water tanks in the loft are required
principally for the traditional domestic
hot water system to give a better ‘head’
of water - which is basically determined
by the height of the cistern above the
tap being used. In most cases, the higher
the cistern, the greater the pressure.
Because the Gledhill system uses the
pressure from your cold water mains,
these cisterns are not required.
This removes any worries about freezing
or contamination of the cold water
system from insects, dust, birds etc and
leaves more space for storage should
you decide to use it.
Why Are There No Water Cisterns In
The Loft?
Should I turn my unit off when the
property is empty?
We advise that if you are away from the
property for less than 2-3 weeks, then
leave all power switches on.
Inside your appliance a store of water
is held within a stainless steel cylinder,
which will cool if the appliance is
switched off. If the water held in the
stainless steel cylinder is allowed to
remain cool for a prolonged period of
time, corrosion of the stainless steel
cylinder can occur and the lifetime of
your appliance can be significantly
reduced.
