Title: A quickie for the hot water gurus
Post by: Nick_Thompson on February 04, 2015, 08:46:41 pm: Is there a problem with leaving the hot water heater and the gas turned off and just having the cold water running through it all the time?

Our Newcastle arm uses an immersion heater for a few hours and the water stays at a nice temperature all day, no gas (just plenty of KWs!!)

No mate.
I had mine connected up for about 3 years and only really used the heater in winter

Stop it clicking trying to ignite the pilot light
