Collection: Gledhill Gulfstream

If you are looking
for a water heater, you came to the right place. In this article, we will tell
you everything you need to know about the GulfStream  . This machine works as a water and room
heater, which makes it one of the most popular on the market.

Read on as we'll
tell you everything from GulfStream spare parts, to common faults, how it works,
and a brief pros and cons conclusion so you know if the GulfStream   is
truly for you.

The GulfStream  is what
is known as the "Combined Primary

Storage Unit"
(CPSU) that has the function of providing central water heating, perfect for
those homes that do not have one, or that need a spare one.

Unlike other CPSUs,
the GulfStream   runs on gas, although it is completely safe
since the GulfStream   has an internal fan that prevents the gas from
stagnating in one place or being harmful to people (we will talk about this on
the GulfStream   later).

Basically, the main
role of the GulfStream   is that your whole house has hot water from
the network and that it also flows at a stable pressure. There are some CPSU
that heat the water but doing so takes the pressure off it, fortunately, this
is not the case with the GulfStream  .

The GulfStream   system
is highly effective as it separates the boiler from the radiators and the
domestic hot water generator. In other words, it separates the heat generator
from the heat emitters, making the GulfStream   as a
whole work in a balanced way.

The GulfStream   has a
plate that works as a kind of filter, so the water can come directly from the
network and be heated by the GulfStream   without any problem. This GulfStream   filter
is fantastic, especially in areas where there is dense water.

The GulfStream   must be
installed with a backup electrical system that works in case of emergencies or
gas outages. In this way, your GulfStream   can
function as a water or space heater even without gas.

There are two main
problems that your GulfStream   can have, just like any other type of water
heater.

The first fault that
your GulfStream   can have is that there is hot water, but the
GulfStream   cannot heat the environment. Do not forget
that the double function of the GulfStream   is what
allows you to heat other spaces, so if you see that this does not happen you
should pay attention to it.

You must make sure
that the GulfStream   programmer and the thermostat are activated in
heating mode. If that mode is enabled but it still doesn't work, then call an
expert to take a look at your GulfStream  .

The second most
common failure in the GulfStream   is that it is working as a heater but there is
no hot water. Initially, it may be that the water heater is
"deactivated", in that case, you just have to put it "on".
This is a more complex problem, so you should contact a licensed professional
who works with GulfStream   to fix the problem.

Another problem that
the GulfStream   can have is that it does not heat the water
and it is not working as a heater. In that case, you should again call a
professional who works with GulfStream   as it is not common.

If it is heating but
there is not much water pressure, you should also contact a professional, since
it may be that some tube of the GulfStream   or a
pipe in your house is clogged.

The GulfStream   is a
machine that will rarely fail. It is one of the most chosen on the market for a
reason: it is reliable, and even if it has a fault, it will be very easy for
you to help it.

The great advantage
of the GulfStream   is that it shares spare parts with other
similar machines, even those that are not of the same brand as the GulfStream  . So in case you have a problem, it will not
be difficult to get a spare part (in other cases it may be a headache).

One downside to the
GulfStream   is the fact that unless you turn it on to run
on electricity alone, it's a pretty gas-guzzling heater. In addition, you must
take extra precautions, as with any other gas-powered appliance.

Even with that con,
the GulfStream   remains a true fan-favourite, with years on
the market and hundreds of thousands of loyal customers choosing it since it
heats water like no other.
