Traditional electric or gas tank water heaters ("conventional heaters") have been used in commercial and residential properties since the early twentieth century. Conventional electric heaters utilize a simple heating element to heat the water and a basic storage tank to hold the heater water until it is required. Conventional gas water heaters employ a similar system. With the exception of some fairly recent minor gains in the area of energy efficiency, they have remained virtually unchanged over the years. While the traditional process of heating is simple, it has some major drawbacks: 

 As water is demanded from a conventional tank, cold water begins to flow immediately into the tank. The cold water immediately starts to dilute the heat of the existing water in the tank, effectively reducing its capacity. As more and more water is drawn from the tank, the overall water temperature in the tank continues to drop, eventually becoming too cool to use comfortably for most applications (showering, etc.). Because of this inefficient process, if you have, for example, a 60-gallon tank, you actually only have only about 45 gallons of useable hot water. The other 15 gallons are lost as cold street water is added to the tank during the usage process. We have all experienced the icy blast when a traditional tank "runs out" of hot water.
