Willis Heating System

[JohnW2]

I just do not see it. .... Yet, as said, a lot of people in in a very small section of the world population do appear to think so. Whether that view is dependant upon their actual “average” usage pattern or just blind faith or a mixture of such then I have no idea.

Quite so. As has been discussed, several decades ago we accepted (really 'had to accept') that we had to wait fora kettle/whatever to 'boil' before we could 'do the washing up', or whatever.

However, people in the great majority of the 'developed' world have moved on from that. Th expectation now (and for a long time hitherto) is that amounts of hot water adequate for our 'needs' should always be available for immediate use - something which is achieved either with 'stored hot water' or with an adequately powerful means of true 'real-time instantaneous water heating' (a combi or an electric water heater of at least 10 kW or so).

As we have both said, there has to be some reason why "a very small section of the world population" seem not to have 'moved on' from those ancient 'expectations'. I doubt that their 'usage patterns' will differ appreciably from anyone else's so I suppose it must come down to some 'different way of thinking' ('cultural differences' or whatever) - but, like you, I don't really have much of an ideaas to 'what'!

Kind Regards, John

Have they or have they not moved on from that?

The fact that one country has always and still is using the Willis system, just as you have and still are using an immersion heater doesn't mean that country doesn't also use other forms of heating water in the same way that your country is. Unless of course the reports indicate otherwise.
