How It Works
Rinnai tankless water heaters supply hot water at a rate of up to 8.5 gallons per minute continuously with no time constraints. No matter how many people shower back to back to back, the Rinnai can meet the demand for hot water. This means everyone gets a hot shower or bath! Then, if there is laundry or dishes, there is no waiting for the old hot water tank to reheat because the Rinnai can keep supplying hot water continuously.
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. This water must then be heated, expending a great deal of energy and time. Conversely, the Rinnai tankless water heater heats water only when water is needed. When a water source is opened, the Rinnai tankless water heater 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. Rinnai tankless water heaters use the feed back from a water flow sensor to adjust the burner, giving users a consistent water temperature for any duration.
Exclusive to Rinnai tankless water heater 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.
