Hot water running out?

617 views

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

So it depends on your heating system. For older water heaters they basically had a tank of water that is pre heated. As it drains new water flows into it at the same rate and that is constantly heated. The issue is that it can drain faster than it is heated. In some modern heaters it doesn’t have a tank and is just heated really fast as the water passes through.
