Benefits Sheet
Endless Supply of Hot Water
Never take another cold shower! With Rinnai’s patented
technology, this state-of-the-art system delivers an endless
supply of hot water 24 hours a day. Unique to the Rinnai
tankless water heater is the ability to utilize up to three
water outlets simultaneously with a constant temperature
of hot water. For example, a homeowner can run a
dishwasher, washing machine and take a shower without
running short of hot water at the desired temperature for
any outlet.
Rinnai supplies hot water at the rate of up to 8.5 gallons
per minute continuously with no time constraints! On the
other hand, a standard tank-type water heater supplies a
set amount of hot water but replaces it with cold water
when this amount is depleted. Many of today’s homes
have oversized tubs or multi-headed showers that a
standard tank cannot power without quickly draining the
hot water supply. The Rinnai tankless water heater is not
restricted by any water quantity demand and will supply an
endless amount of hot water. This means everyone gets a
hot shower or bath!
The operating process is simple: a traditional hot water
tank continually heats and reheats its water whether or not
the water is in use. Once the heated water in the tank is
emptied, via a shower for example, new, cold water comes
into the tank which must be heated consistent with the
remaining water, expending a great deal of energy and
time. Conversely, Rinnai tankless water heaters heat water
only when water is needed. When a water source is
opened, Rinnai senses the demand for hot water flow and
starts the heating process. The water flows through a heat
exchanger and is heated to the desired temperature, which
has been pre-selected and set by the user.
Tax Credit Last year, Rinnai worked hard to get tax credits for tankless
water heaters included in the energy bill and their efforts
paid off! For the first time, consumers can now not only
save money every month heating their water with a Rinnai,
but can also receive a $300 tax credit toward the full
purchase price of an energy-efficient, Rinnai tankless water
heater.
Energy Cost Savings
Unlike water tanks utilizing antiquated technology, Rinnai is
more efficient because it only spends energy to heat water
when it is needed. Rather than constantly spending energy
to needlessly heat and reheat gallons of water, energy is
used more efficiently with the Rinnai system equaling
savings on monthly utility bills.
Digital Temperature Control/
Scalding Protection
Exclusive to Rinnai tankless water heaters is a digital
control pad installed separately from the wall-mounted
heating unit. This panel allows users to control the
temperature of their water for various needs around the
house. Once the temperature is set, Rinnai constantly
delivers hot water consistent with that desired setting. This
feature has great utility in households with small children
and elderly individuals to help prevent scalding accidents.
Rinnai tankless water heaters use the feedback from a
water flow sensor to adjust the burner, giving users a
consistent water temperature for any duration. Flexibility is
a big issue in multi-person households. It is for this reason
that the Rinnai control pad is easily and quickly adjusted to
fit users’ needs. For example, a consumer might want the
hot water temperature set at 140 degrees to run the
dishwasher but only want it set for 96 degrees for a child’s
bath water. With the simple press of a button, the
temperature limit can be changed to accomplish both tasks.
The newest addition to the Rinnai tankless water heater
family is a stainless steel style control pad. This controller
executes the same temperature control features of the
standard digital control pad but expands its functions to
suit the lifestyle of the American family.
Completely shower-proof, these 7” flat screens can be wall
mounted in a bathroom, kitchen or even in the shower.
Beyond temperature control, these small units allow the
user to watch TV, listen to FM radio, auto-set favorite
channels, Auto Fill your bathtub and Auto Pre-set your
shower.
Auto Fill allows a user to pre-set an automatic fill of a
bathtub. For example, if a mom wants her child to have a
bath at 8pm with 100-degree water in a half-full tub, she
can set the Rinnai controller and these settings will be
delivered precisely as she desires. Auto Pre-set will deliver
the same features for your shower. Not only does Rinnai
execute these functions with extreme energy efficiency, but
by user-determined water limitations, it can help save
water as well.
Spillage Free
Tank leaks and ruptures are two of the major risk factors
involved with traditional hot water tanks. A leak or a “bust”
can disseminate extremely hot water throughout the
surrounding area, ruining home furnishings and carpets,
endangering persons near the accident and creating an
insurance nightmare. Because the Rinnai is tankless, there
is nothing to “bust”. The tankless water heaters hold no
water within the confines of the wall unit. Therefore, no
water storage equals no risk of spillage.
Space Saver
Take back that closet! Whereas a tank-type water heater
requires 12 - 16 sq. ft. of floor space, the Rinnai tankless
water heater is a wall-mounted unit that fits either inside or
outside the home, freeing up the use of another closet.
Rinnai’s wall mounted unit is 9” deep, 14” wide and 24”
high, much smaller than a water tank and much more
easily concealed on the exterior or interior of the home.
Units placed inside the home are typically located in a
closet with other utility items such as air conditioning/
heating units, fuse boxes, washer/dryer, etc. Units
installed on the home’s exterior are fully insulated to
withstand the warmest and coldest of temperatures and do
not detract from the aesthetic appeal of a home. They can
even be installed in recessed box, flush-mounted to the
home exterior and painted or textured to match the
exterior surface.
Warranty/ Life Expectancy
Rinnai tankless water heaters have a limited warranty on
the heat exchanger for ten (10) years and five (5) years on
the remainder of the parts, compared to a typical 6-year
warranty for hot water tanks.
The life expectancy for traditional hot water tanks is
approximately 10 years. With Rinnai’s new technology, the
life expectancy of the entire system is approximately 20
years, double that of a hot water tank. Additionally,
disposing of hot water tanks is extremely difficult and is
typically regulated by strict environmental laws. Most
landfills in the United States do not accept hot water tanks
due to environmentally hazardous materials. Conversely,
disposing of the Rinnai is much simpler; because the
product materials are built more environmentally friendly,
Rinnai is accepted by most U.S. landfills.
Distributors/ Installation
Rinnai has more than 1,500 distributors and more than
38,000 registered installers throughout the United States.
The Rinnai tankless water heater is installed by registered
Rinnai installers to ensure proper installation and service.
As a responsible manufacturer to consumers, every
prospective installer must go through an installation
training class before they are approved as a Rinnai
registered installer. In addition, every installer must comply
with state requirements for contractors.
Rinnai’s website (www.foreverhotwater.com) includes a
searchable database that will easily assist with locating the
nearest distributor to a consumer. Each distributor should
be able to refer customers to registered installers nearby.
