So I live in northern Europe in an apartment and I’ve never had a problem or even head of people in my country having the hot water run out, so how does it do that? I guess in a house you have a water heater but doesn’t it just automatically heat up more water.
I hear this in a lot of tv shows and movies that’s now found out about this phenomenon
know it sounds stupid lol but I cant stop thinking about this
In: Technology
There are two ways of heating hot water for showers and such.
One system has a boiler that heats the water as it is being used. It runs through the boiler and is heated right then and there.
However in many places, instead there is a big water tank that is always kept heated. Those boilers don’t need to be as powerful as they can heat the water up slowly, but this also means that if you use a lot of hot water in one go, that tank can run out of hot water. Then you need to wait for a while until you have hot water again.
