Range Overview - Hot Water

Correct Sizing

Number of occupants

The number of users in any installation is extremely important as it directly aects 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

• Insucient 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 aects 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 ecient 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 ecient 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 ecient 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.
