Flow rate of hot water is lower than a storage system, consequently filling a bath will take longer; flow rate may not be adequate for washing machines/dishwashers that require a hot feed; hot water temperature may fluctuate unpredictably. When hot water is being used no heating is available (although this would only be significant if the radiators are not already hot when hot water is required). Pressure variations within a sealed system are quite high, which can encourage leaks from radiator valves, etc
