    DHW SETTINGS on Gas Boiler

    Why are there options for setting time periods for DHW? If set for 24hours, ie 24/7 won’t the boiler simply turn on .. on demand?…no need for time periods! What am I not seeing?

    Gas Boiler DHW demand

    Why is there a choice in choosing time periods for DHW on gas boilers?….Why not having DHW ‘on’ 24hours/day. Isn’t the boiler switched on only on DHW demand ?…hence no need for setting time intervals for DHW.
