Then, how do electric water boilers work?

An electric water heater works essentially the same way as a gas water heater. It brings cold water in through the dip tube (1) and heats it using the electric heating elements (2) inside of the tank. The hot water rises in the tank and is moved throughout the home through the heat-out pipe (3).

Additionally, how do electric kettles work so fast? An electric kettle can boil water in just a couple of minutes because it can add heat energy to the water much more quickly and efficiently than an open fire (which allows heat to escape in all directions). So the answer to how an electric kettle works so quickly is by using a relatively large electric current.

Simply so, do you need a water tank with an electric combi boiler?

Electric combi heaters are easy to install and require less maintenance than gas or oil boilers. Subsequently, they are a less expensive option. Although electric combi boilers come in a variety of sizes, they are typically single units and do not require heating tanks, cylinders or a flue like other types of boiler.

What happens if you wire a water heater backwards?

If it is piped backwards, the dip tube will take the water from the bottom of the tank. This will be hot to begin with and then it will be cool as soon as the cooler heavier water coming into the top of the tank to replace the hot water gets a chance to descend to the bottom.
