How a Continuous Flow Unit Works
A continuous flow unit has no tank at all. It fires only while water is moving through it, so the supply never runs out no matter how long the showers run. Here is what that means in practice:
- A gas model passes water through a heat exchanger over a burner, and it needs an adequate gas supply and pipe size to fire at full output.
- An electric model needs a large dedicated power supply, which is wiring work for an electrician before we touch the plumbing.
- Because there is no stored water, there is nothing to run dry, though the flow rate decides how many outlets run at once.
- Storage water is kept at 60°C to stop Legionella, and a tempering valve keeps bathroom water to a 50°C maximum.
How We Fit Your Unit
Local Cashmere Hot Water sizes every continuous flow install from your actual household rather than a rule of thumb. The job runs in four steps:
- 1
Size it properly
We count your bathrooms and outlets and pick a flow rate that holds up when everything runs together.
- 2
Set the spot
The unit goes on a wall close to the wet areas, with the clearances and flue arrangement a gas model needs.
- 3
Connect and commission
We isolate the water, mount the unit, sort the gas connection or the electrical arrangement, and check the tempering valve.
- 4
Commission and hand over
Every tap gets run, the temperature settings are confirmed, and we show you how the controls work.

Pricing an Instant Hot Water Job
What sets the figure on an instant hot water job, all set out before you commit:
- Gas or electric, since the two connect very differently.
- Whether the gas supply line needs upsizing to feed the burner properly.
- Where the unit mounts and what it takes to get to that spot.
- Any valve work, such as a tempering valve, that the setup needs.
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.
Instant Units on These Acreage Blocks
New builds are still landing
Approval figures put 308 new dwellings across the suburb in the last five years, and a fresh build with no old tank to match is a natural fit for a flow unit sized from the floor plan.
The lots give you options
On rural-residential blocks there is room to mount the unit near the bathrooms rather than where an old tank happened to stand, which trims the wait for hot water at the far end of the house.
A suburb of standalone homes
At the last census the suburb counted 1,508 dwellings, almost all of them separate houses, so there are no shared plant rooms or body-corporate rules to work around when Local Cashmere Hot Water fits a flow unit.
If an old tank is coming out to make way for one of these units, the replacement page explains how the new system is chosen, and a unit for a brand new build is covered on the installation page.
When We're Not the Right Call
The power feed behind an instant electric model is heavy, and running that circuit is a licensed electrician's job, so the wiring gets sorted first and we handle the water side once it exists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1856Does an instant gas unit need a bigger gas line?
Yes, a continuous flow burner draws hard while it is heating, so we check the supply pipe and the meter capacity and upsize the gas line where the demand calls for it.
Will an instant electric unit run on an Energex off-peak tariff?
No, an instant electric unit needs full power the moment a tap opens, so it cannot run on an Energex off-peak supply, and a dedicated circuit from a licensed electrician comes first.
Can a continuous flow unit mount on an outside wall at a Cashmere acreage home?
It can, and mounting the unit on the wall nearest your bathrooms keeps the hot pipe run short, so the first shower warms quickly even on a cold winter morning.
Does Unitywater need to know before a continuous flow unit is fitted?
No notification to Unitywater is needed when a unit swaps over at the same spot, and we isolate and reconnect the supply at the valve as part of the job.
Do continuous flow units cope with several showers at once?
They do within the flow rate, so we match the unit to how many showers and taps your household runs, because a big acreage family can easily have two showers going plus the dishwasher.
