It is so perfectly insulated that water once heated up loses hardly any beat.. Therefore only a tiny glimmer of gas is needed to keep it steaming hot.
This new heater is automatic in action. There is not the slightest work to do. You light it and leave it to look after itself, safe and certain, day and night. It turns up the gas when water needs heating, and turns it down when the water is hot, You must learn more about this revolutionary discovery. Visit our showroom or write for further particulars.
