Wetback systems are very common in NZ. I built a home recently and decided not to go with a wetback system because I decided there would be little overlap between times when I use hot water and times when I would use the fireplace. Now since covid I am working from home permanently I kind of regret that choice.
- abraae 6y agoSame. We Built a new house a few years ago and I really wanted a wetback, having had one in a previous house I was talked out of it by the fireplace guys and the plumbing guys. Now I regret it every time I light the fire. The main problem is that wetbacks fall into a gray area, they are mainly plumbing, but plumbers are more used to dealing with standard components and materials. Architects are usually not familiar with them so don't push for them.
