How Hot Water Cylinders Work
Heated Water rises to the top of your cylinder where it is stored, and then tempered with cold water to 50 ⁰C when it is circulated around your home. Cold water is replenished and heated at the bottom of your cylinder. The temperature measurements on the live sites occur at the bottom of the cylinder where temperature fluctuates as cold water enters the cylinder - there is always plenty of hot water at the top of the cylinder for household use.
