Frequently Asked Questions
-
Califonts are a space-saving and convenient system to heat your water. They offer a limitless supply of hot water, making them perfect for busy households that consume a decent quantity of hot water.
-
Gas califonts exist in a range of sizes. Although they are tankless, a larger califont permits for more water to be consumed simultaneously.
The correct size for you depends on how many fixtures you intend to use at the same time. Here’s the general rule of thumb:
3.5 GPM for 1-2 fixtures used simultaneously
5 GPM for 2-3 fixtures used simultaneously
7 GPM for 3-4 fixtures used simultaneously

Most gas califonts require your home to have the mains pressure system in place.
There are two pressure systems in New Zealand: the low pressure system (usually found in older homes) and the mains pressure system.
Here are some clues to find out which system your home relies on: with the low pressure system you may experience long wait times for hot water, struggle to get a decent pressure while showering and notice changes in flow when someone else uses water in the house.
If you’re on the mains system, you’ll experience a more consistent water flow and temperature. If your house was built after the 1990s, you likely have mains pressure.
