Where a Continuous Flow Unit Suits
A flow unit heats water only as it passes through the heat exchanger, which changes the trade-offs against a tank. Four points tell you whether it suits:
Endless supply
The last shower of the morning is as warm as the first, because there is no cylinder being drawn down.
No tank to leak
A cylinder that lets go indoors soaks the cupboard and the floor beside it. A wall unit holds almost nothing between uses.
Made for gas
A gas model reaches full output quickly and suits bigger households; an instant electric model is a different animal, as the electrician note below explains.
Space saved
The box is slim enough to sit on an outdoor wall where no cylinder would ever have fitted, and hot water installation covers a first-time fit.
Fitting a Continuous Flow Unit
Four steps cover a standard fit:
- 1
Confirm the gas supply
The meter and the line need enough capacity for the model's burn rate, and if the run falls short, a bigger pipe goes in before the unit does.
- 2
Hang the unit
We bracket it to the wall with the maker's clearances from windows, doors and openings, close to the existing services where the building allows.
- 3
Connect the water and gas
Isolation valves go on both sides, and the tempering valve keeps bathroom water to 50°C.
- 4
Commission and explain
We clear air from the lines, test ignition, confirm the hot outlet reads right at the tap, then run you through the controls.

Price Drivers for a Flow Unit
Taigum Same Day Hot Water prices the whole job from the site visit, so the figure on paper covers everything below:
Gas supply capacity
A bigger flow rate wants a bigger line from the meter, and upgrading that pipe is part of some quotes.
Model output
Covering two bathrooms and a laundry costs more than a unit sized for one bathroom.
Position and access
A unit hard to reach behind fences or down a narrow passage takes more handling time than one on an open wall.
Valves and fittings
Tempering valves, isolation valves and any old connections due to be replaced come into the quoted figure.
We price your hot water job up front as one fixed figure, and you decide whether we go ahead. There are no hidden fees with our flat-rate pricing, no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays, and the option to fix now, pay later.
Continuous Flow Units on Tighter Blocks
Slim units suit slim blocks
Census figures put the suburb at 3,055 dwellings, with separate houses just under half and townhouse complexes holding much of the remainder. A flow unit hangs on a wall, so a laundry or courtyard that never had cylinder space can still carry one.
The tank stock here is getting on
The street grid mostly filled in through the eighties and nineties, so many tanks have already been swapped once and those swaps are ageing too. A wall unit sidesteps the question of where a fresh cylinder hides.
Shared walls mean shared mornings
Neighbours behind one fence run their bathrooms in the same window after breakfast, so sizing is about flow rate rather than tank litres, and Taigum Same Day Hot Water matches the model to the taps you expect to run together. If a dead cylinder started the search, hot water replacement covers the swap.
When We're Not the Right Call
An instant electric model draws more power than an ordinary outlet supplies, so a dedicated circuit falls to an electrician, and Taigum Same Day Hot Water would rather point you to the right trade than promise work we cannot lawfully do. Gas flow units sit squarely in our lane.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3524 7164Does a continuous flow unit need natural gas or will LPG do?
Either works, because these units run on mains gas or bottled LPG, and we check the gas supply and pipe size at your place before quoting, since an undersized line starves the burner.
How small a wall does an instant gas unit need in a Taigum townhouse?
The unit is a slim wall box, and townhouse courtyards in Taigum are tight, so we measure side passages and clearances in person before promising a position during the site visit.
Will a continuous flow unit run two showers at once?
It can, as long as the model's flow rate covers the outlets running together, which is exactly how we match a unit to your household's real usage during the quote.
Does Urban Utilities water quality affect a continuous flow unit here?
Mains supply is fine for these units, and Urban Utilities water runs through a heat exchanger that we flush when servicing the system, a job that keeps the exchanger clear.
Can an instant unit take the place of a leaking storage tank in Taigum?
Usually yes, and swapping a failed cylinder for a continuous flow unit also frees the floor space a full tank was occupying, subject to the gas and water checks we do first.
