At the start, water heaters used combustion gas in a burner. But, during the process, the steam mixed with the water and dirty water came out. This was followed by more innovative creations that resolved this issue so the hot water came out clean for the consumer.<\/p>\n<p>More types of heater were created until they managed to isolate the water circuit from the gas by using a coil. Since then, a large amount of water heaters have been cylindrical and located in the bathroom, very close to the bath. The cold water enters at the top and, while it is going down the coil, it is heated by the heat produced from the gas combustion in the burner located at the bottom.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Despite the general trend, rectangular-shaped heaters were also sold because it enabled them to be installed on a wall or in the corner of a house.
