I keep seeing houses advertised with a fire and a wetback?
What does this mean. Is it that the fire heats the water???:confused:

Thanks

Yes, the fire does heat the water. There's generally an immersion heater too for when you don't have the fire lit.

From a sparkies perspective:- If you go into a wholesaler and ask for an immersion heater element you'll wait a long time. If you ask for an element for a domestic water heater, you'll get served. Just another example of language difficulties here in NZ!
