eciencies, as well as a host of other great features.
Rinnai is committed to ongoing innovation - delivering ecient, well
designed and engineered lifestyle solutions oering a host of benets
including versatility, safety, control, water conservation as well as guaranteed
reliability. Backed with extensive warranty’s and after sales service teams,
Rinnai is proud to be the No.1 choice for Continuous Flow Hot water in
Australia. In addition, our innovative range of Solar Hot Water Systems boast
market leading eciencies that ultimately enjoy higher Government rebates.
Through innovation, we will endeavour to continue oering superior ranges
of home appliances that provide a clear insight into what the future holds for
Australian homes.
The Environment
Gas is one of the most greenhouse friendly fuel sources available. By choosing
a Rinnai Gas Hot Water System or Gas Boosted Solar System you can make a
dierence. Even Electric Boosted Solar hot water has substantial benets and
assists with the reduction of our carbon footprint.
Independent tests are used to give Energy Star Ratings to all gas Hot Water Systems
– the more stars the better. The Rinnai Continuous Flow INFINITY ranges are
highly ecient - all tested to 5+ Stars out of a maximum of 6. In addition, our
most ecient INFINITY 26 Enviro model has been awarded the equivalent of 7
Stars! Solar systems are not measured with stars but are awarded Renewable
Energy Certicates (RECs) based on measured environmental savings. Again
Rinnai systems lead the way being amongst the highest in the industry.
Water Wastage
Water conservation is top of mind in almost every city, town & community
in Australia today. Hot water and more specically showering & bathing,
contributes the highest proportion of water used in most households. Gas
Continuous Flow systems such as the popular Rinnai INFINITY have been
designed to minimise wastage with faster start-ups and the ability to operate
at lower ow rates, and are more compatible with water ecient xtures such
as shower roses and basin outlets.
The physical design of the home can also have an inuence over the type of
hot water system best for that application and where it should be installed.
The length of pipe run from the hot water system to any hot water tap
directly inuences how much water is potentially wasted prior to use. Where
possible, have your installer locate your hot water system as close as practical
to the most frequently used hot water tap – most likely the kitchen, but with
consideration to supplying the bathrooms as well.
If using a Continuous Flow System such as the Rinnai INFINITY, their small
compact size allows more exibility that traditional storage cylinders. In
addition, Rinnai have the Smartstart® pre-heat system that pre-heats the
water in the pipes before you turn on the tap, literally saving thousands of
litres of precious water. See page 8 and 16 for further details.

Range Overview - Hot Water
Correct Sizing
Number of occupants
The number of users in any installation is extremely important as it directly aects the size of unit that is required. Nobody likes a
cold shower so it is vital that any system is correctly sized for an application. Please talk to your Rinnai Hot Water Specialist about
the best model to suit your needs.
Below we have outlined some of the considerations for various Rinnai Hot Water Systems:
Gas Continuous Flow – Rinnai INFINITY
• Sizing Parameter – Number of shower outlets operating together
• Will not run out of Hot Water
• Size of the unit selected needs to consider how many showers/outlets may be operating at once
• An undersized unit may restrict the ow rate if multiple outlets are operated at once
Gas Boosted Solar – Rinnai Prestige & Rinnai Sunmaster
• Sizing Parameter – Number of Bedrooms in the home
• The storage Cylinder capacity determines the available solar heated hot water
• Gas booster is always available as a backup, therefore hot water will never run out
• Undersized system could mean the system is relying on the gas booster more often – increasing running costs
• Insucient solar panels would also reduce the solar gain causing reliance on the gas booster
Electric Boosted Solar - Rinnai Prestige & Rinnai Sunmaster
• Sizing Parameter – Number of Bedrooms in the home
• The tank size determines the amount of hot water available regardless of whether solar generated or electric boosted
• Hot water can run out if not correctly sized
• Choice of electricity tari aects availability of re-heated water:
- Normal (Peak) tari continually re-heats
- O-peak will generally not re-heat until overnight
There are many types of hot water systems available for Australian homes. Rinnai hot water systems bring you the latest advanced
technologies that provide you with choices that can meet individual needs. Whether relating to safety, convenience, available
space, environmental needs or ongoing running costs, Rinnai will have a system that suits.
Temperature Controlled Gas Continuous Flow
The Rinnai INFINITY - a unit that only heats the water when you need it. As a tap is turned on, the unit senses the ow and begins
to heat the water instantaneously. Highly ecient and compact, these units can also be temperature controlled for added safety &
convenience. In addition they are literally ‘continuous ow’ and will never run out of hot water – even if you are last in the shower!
Solar Boosted Gas Continuous Flow
These systems are designed to utilise the energy from the sun via Solar Collectors (panels) mounted on the roof. Cold water passes
through pipes and is heated by the sun and returned to a storage cylinder located either on the roof or situated on the ground.
Utilising the same technology as the Rinnai INFINITY, a Continuous Flow gas boost system is incorporated for days that have low
solar gain. Rinnai Gas Boosted Solar Systems are highly ecient with substantial Government rebates applying for most domestic
installations.
Electric Boosted Solar Mains Pressure
Similar to the gas boosted unit, an electric boosted system has an element in the cylinder to provide boosting on lower solar gain
days. Whilst not as ecient as a gas boosted system, they are still an environmentally friendly alternative to a standard electric
storage cylinder. They are often the system of choice where gas is not available. Rinnai Electric Boosted Solar Systems also enjoy
substantial Government rebates applying for most domestic installations.

Important Considerations
Household Energy Use
Hot Water systems in general are the largest users
of energy in most Australian homes, so it’s important
to consider all the factors before selecting a hot
water system. High eciency, correctly sized hot
water systems can directly lower the running costs
of a family.
The table opposite indicates where energy is
typically used in an average household. Naturally
this varies from State to State and even house to
house, but the common factoris that hot water will
nearly always be the largest consumer of energy.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Increased levels of greenhouse gases have been
identied as one of the major contributors to the
problem of global warming, so anything that can
help reduce our carbon footprint, is benecial to
the environment.
When purchasing a new hot water system, many
people simply put in what was there before without
considering the environmental impact of their
decision. The charts clearly shows that if you
make an informed decision and think about the
consequences to the environment, you in fact have
the opportunity to make a dierence. The purchase
and installation of Rinnai hot water systems and in
particular Gas Boosted Solar are a clear a step in the
right direction.
Running Costs
Running Costs for Hot Water vary depending on the
type of system installed (Continuous Flow or Storage
Cylinder) and the fuel used (Electricity, Gas or Solar).
The Table (opposite) gives an indication of the
annual running costs of various common hot
water systems used in Australia. As hot water use
varies between households and climates, this graph
will change accordingly. We have calculated these
gures using a family of four, having one ve minute
shower a day each and using cold water for clothes
washing. It is a comparative guideline only, based
on various government websites.

More Copy
Rinnai revolutionised the Australian water heating market in the early 90’s when it
launched the rst fully electronic Gas Continuous Flow Hot Water System. Appropriately
named the Rinnai INFINITY because it never ran out of hot water, today systems are even
more sophisticated – designed with the environment in mind with low emission burners,
high eciencies and low ow rates compatible with water saving (WELS) outlets and
showers.
How Continuous Flow Works
The Rinnai INFINITY heats water as it passes through the unit, which means you are only
using energy when you turn the tap on. It is an extremely energy ecient choice as
the water is only heated when required, lowering running costs and greenhouse gas
emissions substantially. Add to this the convenience of precise water and temperature
control with the installation of Water Controllers and it’s compact size, which allows it
to be installed almost anywhere, and you have the most technologically advanced hot
water system available today!

Water Controllers
Deluxe Bathroom Controller
To experience all the benets of Continuous Flow hot water systems, Rinnai strongly
recommend installing Water Controllers with all models. Rinnai’s Controllers enable
you to simply set your desired temperature, turn on the hot tap and enjoy… no more
juggling the hot and cold taps and of course this also saves water.
Temperature Fluctuations
Continuous Flow water heaters like all types of water heaters can experience
temperature uctuations when other taps are turned on. Water controllers avoid this
by maintaining an exact temperature even when other taps are used or a toilet is
ushed.
Safety
The installation of Water Controllers allow you to select the exact temperature you
need, reducing the chance of scalds. Our Deluxe Controllers have the added feature of
an automatic bath ll which stops the water ow at your desired level. This also means
that young children can no longer play with the hot tap because no water will come
from it!
Ease of Use
Simply select the temperature you want and turn on the hot tap. Not only can you
experience total control in the bathroom, but unlike other Continuous Flow hot water
systems, you can have up to four controllers… a controller for the Bathroom, Kitchen,
Ensuite and even the Laundry.
Extended Warranty
Rinnai INFINITY installations with 2 or more Water Controllers receive an extended
parts & labour warranty.
Types of Rinnai Water Controllers
From a functionality point of view, Rinnai have 2 types of Controllers
Universal Controllers
(Both Wireless & Hard-wired versions) with the following functions:
• Precise temperature control
• Room (priority) transfer
• Smartstart® preheat system functions
• Child Lock (Wireless only).
Deluxe Controllers
(Hard-wired only) with all of the functions of the Universal model with addition of:
• Master Controller usually installed in the Kitchen
• Separate Bathroom Controllers
• Automatic Bath ll function
• Shower saver feature – preset your desired litres
• Digital Clock, Speaker & Volume Controls
Wireless vs Hard-wired Controllers

Solar Hot Water
Solar water heating aords us a clean, inexhaustible supply of energy that helps to
reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Rinnai draws from the expertise of over 70
years experience in designing and manufacturing Hot Water Systems. This allows us to
give you a rened range of the most highly ecient quality choices available.
How Solar Systems work
Solar systems are actually very simple in operation. Solar Collectors mounted on the
roof absorb the energy from the sun and heat cooler water that ows through pipes
just beneath the surface. This hot water is then transferred to a storage cylinder ready
for use. As you use the hot water, cold water is pushed back into the cylinder and then
through the Collector for heating.
To ensure that there is always hot water for those days that are cloudy or raining, the
addition of either an electric or gas booster completes the system.
Government Rebates
The Australian Greenhouse Oce awards Renewable Energy Certicates (RECs)
according to how much energy each Rinnai Solar system saves compared with a
conventional electric water heater. The Federal Government legislation states that
RECs are applicable when a solar system is installed in a new home or replaces an
existing hot water system. In addition, substantial Federal & State Government rebates
are often available for installations that upgrade from electric hot water systems to a
solar system.
How much can I get?
For the purposes of RECs assessment, Australia is divided into 4 solar zones as shown
in the map below. The actual number of RECs is dependant on many factors including
the booster type, the solar zone, the system & number of Collectors installed and in a
changeover, the type of system replaced. Rinnai Solar systems are typically awarded
between 20 to 42 RECs. Each REC has a $ value that uctuates according to market
demand, which needs to be checked at the time of purchase. If a REC was valued
at (say) $30, your rebate for Rinnai systems would be anywhere between $600 and
$1260.
At the time of printing this brochure, the Federal Government is also oering an
additional $1000 to switch from an electric system to Solar. In some States there
are additional rebates on top of this again!

Range Overview - Solar
Range Overview - Solar Hot Water
Close Coupled Systems
Where the Storage Cylinder and the Solar Collectors (panels) are coupled
together and the installation is on the roof. A choice of an electric boost
element in the cylinder or a gas booster installed usually on the side of the
house completes the system.
Benets:
• Technically very ecient, economical to install and low maintenance
• No recirculating pumps and pipe runs – reducing heat losses and
improving running eciencies
• No electricity required to operate pumps to recirculate the water
through the panels
• Space saving in that it eliminates the need for a storage tank at ground
level – ideal for courtyard homes or small blocks
• Supplied standard in NEW Titanium colour
• Wide range of Colorbond® colours available. Ask your Rinnai Solar
consultant for selection
Split Systems
Where the Storage Cylinder and the Solar Collectors are literally split and
installed separately. A choice of an electric boost element in the cylinder or
an in-line gas booster which can be installed on the side of the cylinder, or
remote mounted on a wall.
Benets:
• Easy installation on roofs
• Streamlined appearance - minimal impact on the aesthetics of your
roof line with only the Collectors visible
• Split Systems do not require reinforcement of the roof structure, as the
weight associated with water storage is at ground level
• Split System cylinder can be installed internally or externally
• Collectors and the tank do not need to be installed at the same time
– ideal during construction of new homes and major renovations
What is the Booster?
The booster is simply a backstop to make sure you always have hot water available, such as during
cloudy or rainy weather or during the winter months. It also operates should you exhaust the stored
water on those occasions when an extra family stays for a weekend!
Solar naturally heats during the day, so if the majority of hot water is used in the morning then the
water stored in the cylinder will begin re-heating via the solar collectors during that day. If you have
an electric boosted system, maximum hot water availability will not be achieved until after the sun
has had a chance to do its work, or on very low solar gain days, until the electric element begins the
heating process later that evening. With a gas boosted system, hot water is always available with the
booster only operating if the water is not already hot and even then, only if a tap is turned on.
If the majority of your hot water is used in the evening (i.e. for running baths & spas etc) then
re-heating will occur as follows depending on the type of booster:
Electric Boost – the thermostat will turn on the element overnight to bring the water back to temperature. This means that if no
hot water is used in the morning the suns energy is wasted the next day as the water is already hot.
Gas Boost – the booster will not activate until the hot water is required. If that is early morning then the gas booster will be
required, but if later in the day, some solar reheating will have occurred.
Regardless of whether your hot water is used in the mornings or evenings, gas boosting is the most ecient, convenient and cost
eective boost option.
Gas boosters operate only on demand and have the additional benet of never running out of hot water
