Brand Battle: A Comprehensive Comparison of Hot Water Systems


Anyone who has ever stepped into the shower expecting steaming hot water – and got an ice-cold shock instead – will tell you that old-fashioned hot water cylinders are not the best choice. Running out of hot water is never a good experience. Fortunately, it’s also one you don’t have to have.

The solution (and one that more Australian homes are choosing every day) are continuous flow hot water systems. Let’s take a closer look at what they are, how they work, and how you can choose the best one for your home.

Who Is Rinnai?

If you’re searching for continuous hot water systems in Australia, you’ve probably already seen the name Rinnai.

Rinnai is the global leader in continuous hot water systems. The brand is headquartered in Japan, but Rinnai Australia Pty. Ltd. is a proudly local subsidiary of the original Japanese company, which means we create hot water system solutions that match our Australian customers' needs exactly, because we know exactly what those needs are.

What Are Continuous Flow Hot Water Systems?

Continuous-flow hot water systems are a clever alternative to traditional hot water cylinders. Instead of heating water and storing it (and costing you a fortune to keep it warm until you want to use it) continuous-flow hot water systems heat water on demand.

That means that you only ever heat the water you actually need, but also that you will never run out of hot water.

How Continuous Flow Hot Water Systems Work, and the Pros and Cons

Continuous hot water systems, like the ones made by Rinnai, are on-demand water heaters that work with LPG or natural gas. You can use them either with a gas line plumbed into your home or LPG tanks.

Water flows through the system, is heated as it does, and then flows directly to your bathroom or kitchen.

The biggest pros of a continuous hot water system are that they take up much less space than traditional hot water cylinders, they never run out of hot water, and you only pay to heat water when you need it.

The downside to continuous hot water systems is that if you don’t have LPG or you forget to pay the gas bill, you won’t have hot water until you do!

Why Choose Rinnai

Rinnai has been making continuous hot water systems for over 50 years. The technology built into these hot water systems is industry leading and made to the highest possible standards. More importantly, Rinnai also makes a huge variety of water heaters in the Infinity range, and that means there’s always one that’s the perfect size for your needs. You can choose from a total of 10 models, including:

  • - Two models of Infinity 32

  • - Four models of Infinity 26

  • - Two models of Infinity 16

  • - Infinity 12

  • - Infinity 20

Several of these Infinity models are also Enviro options, which offer more efficient, environmentally friendly hot water production.
