Default Bowling Alley in the Basement

I did a draw inspection on a 7000 sq.ft.+ home that had a bowling alley in the basement among other amenities. (sauna, theater, elevator)

I recognize the Buderus boiler but what's in the large white "plastic" systems? Are they gas boilers?

On Demand water heaters. The blue Buderus (2 of them) appeared to be water treatment units.

The only Buderus equipment I have seen around here has been boilers with integral indirectly heated domestic hot water tanks.

Just checked their website......must be a boiler or a remote indirect heated water tank.

In addition to its state-of the-art training and distribution center in New Hampshire, the company has a large network of business partners to meet the growing demand for the company’s products throughout North America.
