Storage hot water systems supply heated water to Australian homes through an insulated tank that holds water at temperature and ready on demand. The range covers gas storage and electric storage options across a variety of tank capacities, suited to households with consistent daily usage across multiple taps and bathrooms.
Both types store water at mains pressure, so flow stays consistent at the tap even when multiple outlets are in use at once. Gas systems generally recover faster after peak demand, while electric models suit properties without natural gas or those on off-peak electricity tariffs.
Storage hot water is a practical choice for households with predictable daily usage patterns and a need for dependable supply during busy periods. A storage hot water system keeps a ready supply of heated water available whenever you need it. Key advantages of storage hot water over other system types:

Yes, though it requires running a suitable electrical circuit to the unit's location. It's worth getting a proper assessment first to compare running costs and confirm the installation requirements for your property.
Most quality storage hot water tanks last between 8 and 12 years with regular maintenance. Flushing sediment from the tank annually and checking the anode rod every few years helps extend service life.
Electric systems won't heat water during a power outage, though insulated tanks hold temperature for several hours. Gas storage systems with a pilot light can continue operating during power outages since they don't rely on electricity to run the burner.
