    #### Continuous Flow Hot Water

    ##### Range at a glance

    Rinnai has the largest range of Continuous Flow water heaters in Australia today. As the company that developed the Continuous Flow market, we now have 5 dedicated ranges designed for specific applications.

    The table below highlights the basic differences between the ranges as a general guide:

    |Range|Rinnai Envirosmart|Rinnai INFINITY|Rinnai V-Series|Rinnai Heavy Duty (HD-Series)|Rinnai S-Series| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Range|![image 21](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile21.png)|![image 22](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile22.png)|![image 23](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile23.png)|![image 24](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile24.png)|![image 25](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile25.png)| |External Models|1|5|2|2|2| |Internal Model|-|1|-|1|-| |Efficiency|6 Star|5+ Star|5+ Star|5+ Star|N/A| |Primary Use|Domestic|Domestic|Builders & Projects|Commercial|Solar Boost Only| |Water Controller|Compatible|Compatible|Compatible|Compatible|Not Compatible| |Status Monitor|No|26Plus Only|No|Yes|No| |Colour|Euro White|Euro White|Dune|Titanium|Dune|

    #### Selection Guide & Sizing

    To ensure that the best Continuous Flow unit is installed in any application, we recommend breaking it down to 6 basic considerations:

    Page 6

    ####### 1. How many Showers are there?

    A single bathroom home with a single shower outlet will operate using the smaller 16 or 20 litre model, whereas with multiple bathrooms or showers with 2 roses, then you may need to factor in the likelihood of simultaneous demand. In this case the larger 26 or 32 litre unit would be required.

    ######## 2. What is the Geographical location?Ambient water temperatures vary immensely throughout Australia. Please refer to the below map and table as a guideline only:

    |Climate|Number of Bathrooms

    The number of shower oulets the unit can

    supply is dependant on water pressure, ambient water pressure and outlet water flow capacity. (Based on 3 Star, 9L/min)|Number of Bathrooms

    The number of shower oulets the unit can

    supply is dependant on water pressure, ambient water pressure and outlet water flow capacity. (Based on 3 Star, 9L/min)|Number of Bathrooms

    The number of shower oulets the unit can

    supply is dependant on water pressure, ambient water pressure and outlet water flow capacity. (Based on 3 Star, 9L/min)| |---|---|---|---| |Climate|1|2|3| |Warm|16 to 20 Litre|16 to 26 Litres|26 to 32 Litre| |Cool|16 to 20 Litre|20 to 26 Litres|26 to 32 Litre|

    ![image 26](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile26.png)

    ####### 3. The type of shower roses installed?

    Most States and Territories have legislation where new homes must have a minimum of 3 Star rated (9 litre/min) shower roses installed. Many older homes however, still have higher flow rated showers.

    |We recommend to replace shower roses with low flow rated (WELs approved) fixtures to assist with water conservation. Rinnai Continuous Flow models are more suited to lower flow rates than any other units on the market.| |---|

    HANDY HINT

    ####### 4. Is there a large bath or spa?

    If there is a large bath or spa that needs filling, then regardless of the number of bathrooms or showers, we’d recommend the larger 26 or 32 litre.

    ####### 5. Design of the house? (The distance to the furthest tap)

    Where are the bathrooms and other ‘wet areas’ in relation to the hot water system? The further away the shower, the longer it takes to get the hot water. Typically if the distance to an outlet is 15m or greater you could be looking at a time delay for the hot water of approximately 10-15 seconds.

    As a general rule, Rinnai recommend:

  • • Units are best installed closest to the Kitchen – but with consideration to Bathroom locations
  • • New homes could consider two smaller units if hot water is required at opposite ends of home
  • • For long hot water runs, install a Rinnai Smartstart pre-heat flow and return system
  • ####### 6. Is it an Internal or External Installation?

    Most installations are external. This is by far the least expensive alternative with the unit readily accessible for servicing. Alternatively Rinnai have internal units which can be placed inside the house, in a cupboard or even in the ceiling cavity. All Rinnai internal units require a flue to be installed to atmosphere. For further details of the flueing requirements, please refer to pages 9 to 11.

    Page 7

    #### Hot Water Delivery Temperature

    AS/NZS3500 regulates that the temperature allowed in areas used primarily for personal hygiene (Bathrooms, Ensuites and Powder Rooms) must be limited to a maximum of 50°C in domestic installations. There are 2 ways to achieve this with Rinnai Continuous Flow appliances:

  • 1. Preset 55°C Appliances – The installing plumber supply’s and installs an approved Tempering Valve on the hot water branch line to the bathrooms etc set at a maximum of 50°C. This then allows for the hotter 55°C water to be supplied to the kitchen & laundry which is best for cutting greases and rinsing. Whilst this requires the additional expense of a Tempering Valve, it is Rinnai’s preferred method of installation as it gives the end-user the best hot water solution.
  • 2. Preset 50°C Appliances – This is where the unit is factory set to 50°C and the entire house is supplied at this temperature. This is adequate in most domestic situations, but any temperature losses in the pipe work due to poor or old insulation can result in lower temperatures being delivered at the outlet. This is usually noticeable in the kitchen when trying to wash dishes with (say) 46 or 47oC. Previously there was no way of overcoming this other than re-insulating supply lines.
  • Hot Water Delivery Temperature

    ##### Rinnai Preset 50oC – Now adjustable to give 50oC at the outlet

    Recent amendments to AS3498 allows for the introduction of adjustable 50oC Preset appliances. Similar to Tempering Valves, the installing plumber can now measure the temperature at the outlet with a thermometer and if necessary, adjust the Rinnai Continuous Flow unit. This can be done in increments of 1oC to a maximum of 4oC. At the time of printing the majority of Rinnai Preset 50 appliances already have this feature.

    ![image 27](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile27.png)

    If unsure whether a particular appliance is adjustable, please call the Rinnai HelpLine on 1300 555 545 quoting the serial number of the appliance.

    Water Controllers

    ![image 28](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile28.png)

    #### Water Controllers

    ##### Why install Water Controllers?

    Rinnai strongly recommend installing Controllers to allow you to take full advantage of all the benefits available. Water Controllers depending on the model selected, enable the following additional benefits with any Continuous Flow model with the exception of Solar Boost units:

    ##### All Controllers:

    ![image 29](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile29.png)

    #### Internal Flueing

    Rinnai offer the only 26 litre internal units available on the market. The Rinnai INFINITY 26i domestic unit and the HD200i commercial model. Ideal for replacement of existing internal hot water systems or simply used when limited space is available externally in applications such as apartments and townhouses. It is a room sealed appliance, drawing combustion air from the outside.

    There are 4 flueing options that enable the installation of an internal Continuous Flow model virtually anywhere:

  • 1. Vertical Direct Flueing - Straight up through the ceiling and penetrating the roofline
  • 2. Horizontal Direct Flueing - 90º bend off top of unit, backwards through the wall
  • 3. Horizontal Extended Flueing - Identical to horizontal flueing but with additional components to extend the length of the flue
  • 4. Combination Flueing - Mixture of both horizontal and vertical flues
  • Flue Components All Rinnai Internal Flue systems are made up from individual components. All components must be ordered separately.

    ##### Combination Flueing (Vertical and Horizontal)

    (Multiple bends with a vertical or horizontal flue termination)

    The flexibility of the various Rinnai flueing components enables our Continuous Flow internal models to be installed virtually anywhere, using a roof or wall terminal, extension pieces (mounted vertically and horizontally), bends, adaptors and condensate traps as required.

    ##### Vertical Direct Flueing

    This is the most common system sold with flueing directly above the unit penetrating the roof line in a single storey home.

    The following components will be required in these combination:

  • • Vertical Flue Terminal with roof cowl
  • • Additional Flue lengths (if required)
  • • Ceiling/Wall Ring (Cover plate)
  • Note: For vertical installations over 1.5m a condensate drain trap is also required.

    ![image 35](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile35.png)

    Horizontal Direct Flueing The second most common system where the Continuous Flow model is flued directly out through a back or side wall. For this installation you will require the following components:

  • • 90° Bend & Starter
  • • Horizontal Flue Terminal (in desired lengths)
  • • External Wall plate
  • • Ceiling/Wall Ring (Cover plate
  • ##### Horizontal Extension Flueing

    This option is used when the water heater is mounted against an internal wall and flueing needs to extend horizontally to exit an external wall. Rinnai flueing components must be used together with extension pieces and bends as required.

    Internal Flueing

    ##### Important Flueing Rules

    ![image 36](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile36.png)

  • 1. Installations can consist of both horizontal and vertical runs to a maximum length of 9 metres
  • 2. Installations can have a maximum of three 90° bends.
  • 3. For any installation over 1.5 metres in height, a condensate drain must be installed

    #### Continuous Flow Technical Information

    ##### Flow Rate Characteristics

    In response to market trends and as part of our continuous improvement processes, Rinnai have developed new technologies and are introducing a number of modifications that allow our continuous flow models to operate over a wider range of conditions. Collectively known as “Enhanced Combustion Technology” (ECT) and in conjunction with new lower minimum gas rate and flow rates, these improvements deliver tangible benefits to our domestic continuous flow customers.

    Our core Rinnai INFINITY Continuous Flow products now have the lowest minimum gas rates on the market. This means that at our new lowest possible burner settings the following two enhanced features are realised:

  • a) They now operate at lower flow rates which makes them more compatible with 3 star (7.5-9.0 l/min) low flow water saving fixtures
  • b) They can now operate at far higher ambient incoming water temperatures. This is particularly of benefit to the northern States of Australia and some inland areas where the water temperature from the ground can be as high as 30oC
  • Many Rinnai Continuous Flow models have variable flow rates that can exceed the commonly known flow rate. i.e. a Rinnai INFINITY 20 can actually give a maximum flow rate of 24 litres per minutes with a temperature rise of only 20oC. Ambient water temperatures vary immensely throughout Australia and often higher flow rates can be achieved with our models. This is most common when in use with Water Controllers set at showering temperatures between 39 and 42oC.

    ##### Smartstart® Water Saver

    The Rinnai Smartstart® water saver has been developed to specifically reduce water wastage whenever a hot tap is turned on.

  • • Allows user to pre-heat the water in the pipes before the tap is turned on
  • • Simply activated by the ‘preheat’ button on any Rinnai Water Controller
  • • Takes a minute or two to warm up depending on the size of the installation
  • • Saves literally tens of thousands of litres of water over the life of the hot water system
  • Plumbing is designed as a ‘ring-main’ or flow and return loop around the house. In existing homes, a return line can be plumbed in from the furthest point back to the Rinnai Continuous Flow unit.

    Page 15

    ####### Operation overview

    The Smartstart® system heats the water in the pipework water connected between the water heater and the hot water outlets before any outlets are opened using the ‘flow and return’ pipework principle. This results in water savings and reduced waiting time for heated water delivery from the outlet when opened.

    Traditional ‘flow and return’ systems usually keep the water in the pipework heated continuously. The Smartstart® system however, only heats the water before the outlet is opened. This results in significant energy savings because water is not heated unnecessarily whilst retaining the benefits of traditional flow and return systems.

    The Smartstart® module is usually located below the Rinnai Continuous Flow water heater, however, it can be mounted anywhere within the return loop.

    ####### 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.

    ####### Benefits:

  • • 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

    ![image 57](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile57.png)

    ##### 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!

    ![image 58](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile58.png)

    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 efficient, convenient and cost effective boost option.

    ![image 59](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile59.png)

    Gas boosters operate only on demand and have the additional benefit of never running out of hot water

    ##### Frost Protection

    If you live in a frost prone area, it is important that you specify when ordering Frost Tolerant Collectors (FTCs). In Victoria for example, it is mandatory to install FTCs in certain areas as determined by listed post codes. For further information, please talk to your solar specialist or refer to the full warranty conditions on-line at www.rinnai.com.au

    Rinnai have two Collectors that are frost tolerant to -6ºC – the Excelsior FTC and the Equinox. Standard Collectors are not covered by warranty for any damage due to freezing or frost.

    Solar Rebates

    #### Solar Rebates

    ##### Government Rebates

    Page 19

    The Australian Greenhouse Office awards Renewable Energy Certificates (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.

    ##### Solar Zones

    The number of RECs awarded to a particular Rinnai Solar System varies according to the amount of energy saved relative to an electric water heater installed in the same location. This is influenced by the amount of local solar gain and the local operating conditions. Darwin, for example, has more solar gain than Hobart, hence a particular system installed in Darwin will be assigned a higher number of RECs than if it were installed in Hobart. For the purposes of REC assessment, Australia is divided into 4 solar zones as shown in the map.

    |To assist with understanding all the rebates available, Rinnai has introduced an on-line Solar Rebate Estimator which has the latest up to date rebates and values. See www.rinnai.com.au for details| |---|

    HANDY HINT

    ##### How to claim the RECs rebate?

    Ultimately the RECs awarded to any system are traded/sold on the open market at a price which fluctuates according to supply and demand.The simplest way is to fill out the REC rebate declaration form that is supplied with each system which transfers the RECs to Rinnai. In return we will pay you the market rate which is current at that time less a small admin fee. Alternatively, you can speculate on the market value and sell them at a later stage either to us or another authorised trader.

    ##### Additional Rebates/Incentives

    From time to time both the Federal and State Governments as well as some local councils offer rebates (additional to RECs) as an incentive to install Solar Hot Water systems. These are often conditional and must always be checked before purchase.

    Conditions for additional rebates sometimes include:

  • • Conversions from Electric Systems to Solar Systems
  • • Gas Boosted systems only
  • • Regional/Rural areas only
  • • Means testing on household income
  • • Concession Card holders
  • • Minimum RECs contribution (i.e. minimum 20 RECs)
  • • Residency restrictions
  • • Domestic applications only

    RECs and Rinnai Solar Systems

    ####### How much can I get?

  • As can be seen from the above table, Rinnai Solar Systems are typically awarded between 20 to 42 RECs. Each REC has a $ value that fluctuates according to market demand, which needs to be checked at the time of purchase. If a REC was valued at (say) $40, your rebate for Rinnai systems would be anywhere between $800 and $1680.
  • At the time of printing this brochure, the Federal Government is also offering an additional $1600 to switch from an electric system to Solar. In some States there are additional rebates on top of this again!

    Sizing

    #### Correct Sizing

    Correct Sizing is vital for optimum performance Number of Occupants

    The number of users in any installation is extremely important as it directly affects 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 Solar Systems:

    ![image 70](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile70.png)

    ![image 71](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile71.png)

    ####### Gas Boosted Solar

  • • Sizing parameter – Number of bedrooms in the home
  • • The storage cylinder capacity determines the available solar heated hot water
  • • The 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
  • • Insufficient Solar Collectors would also reduce the solar gain causing reliance on the gas booster
  • ####### Electric Boosted Solar

  • • Sizing Parameter – Number of Bedrooms in the home
  • • The Storage Cylinder 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 tariff affects availability of re-heated water:
  • - Normal (peak) tariff continually re-heats
  • - Off-peak will generally not re-heat until overnight
  • Tips on selecting the best Rinnai System To correctly select a Rinnai Solar System for a home, a number of lifestyle factors need to be considered.

    ####### 1. What Solar Zone is applicable for the installation?

    This determines the amount of solar energy that will be available and can influence the number of collectors that should be installed.

    ####### 2. Is Gas available?

    Page 22

    Natural Gas boosting is the cheapest to run and the most environmentally friendly form of boosting for a Solar System. Rinnai recommends that gas boosting should always be the first choice if available. Alternatively, both LPG & Electric boosting are also economical to run with correctly sized systems.

    ####### 3. Is there limited space available?

    This can determine whether space is available at ground level for a Split System storage cylinder. If limited, then a Close Coupled roof mounted system would be the most appropriate.

    ####### 4. Is the area prone to frost or sub-zero temperatures?

    Frost protection should always be used if temperatures fall below zero. This can be achieved by using Frost Tolerant Collectors (FTCs) which must be requested at the time of ordering. FTC panels are warranted to -6ºC under certain conditions. Please ask you Rinnai Solar Specialist for further details or see on-line at www.rinnai.com.au

    ##### Solar Collector Installation

    ####### Standard “Pitch Roof” installation – Split System Collectors

    The below sketches show the standard frames supplied for a normal angled roof installation. These components are supplied with the installation kits.

    ####### Flat Roof Installations

    Page 29

    The below sketch shows the frame required for all flat roof installations. It is ordered in addition to the appropriate installation kit and vary depending on the type of system installed.

    ####### Cyclone Frame Installations

    For Cyclone prone areas it is often mandatory but in any event, it is highly recommended to use a cyclone frame. These have a different configuration to the standard frames and are made in much stronger materials.

    Solar Collectors

    ####### Reverse & Side Pitch Installations

    In addition to the above frames, you can also order Reverse & Side Pitch adaptor kits that suit both Close Coupled & Split Systems. These are ordered in addition to the applicable Flat Roof Frame.

    Electric Range at a glance

    #### Electric Hot Water Systems

    ##### Range at a glance Mains Pressure Systems

    Rinnai has two mains pressure ranges of Electric Hot Water – Centurion & HOTFLO. They are simply a storage cylinder that holds water at a pre-set temperature with the use of thermostatic control. As hot water is used, it is replaced with cold water and reheats again. Hot Water delivery is at mains pressure or the maximum allowable pressure should the home have a pressure limiting device installed.

    ![image 82](3493b7c9f3bad63fefc706839f9f056ea2eab01c_rinnai_hot_water_specifications_images/imageFile82.png)

    ####### Rinnai Centurion

    Rinnai centurion electric tanks are made from high quality stainless steel, they have positive domes on both ends of the cylinder, for optimum capacity in a slim line water heater. All centurion water heaters come standard with a hot water return connection point, which is ideal for flow and return plumbing or solar conversions at a later date.

  • • Superior quality long life Stainless Steel tank with a 10 year warranty
  • • No requirement for a sacrificial anode – reduced maintenance
  • • Taller slimline tank. With positive domes at both ends for optimum capacity and neater appearance
  • • Solar compatible - added flexibility at a later stage
  • • Connection for pumped return line
  • • Colorbond® outer case - durable and weather resistant
  • • Flexibility - suitable for internal and external use

  • • Thermostatically controlled with safety temperature shut off for added safety and peace of mind
  • Excludes 40 litre
  • ##### Gravity Feed Systems

    Similar to normal storage cylinders the gravity feed systems again hold water at a pre-set temperature but this time not under mains pressure. Sometimes also referred to as ‘constant pressure’ systems, the Roofmaster is usually located in the roof space. Whereas mains pressure systems usually operate between 300 – 500kPa, a gravity feed system operates at the ‘head of pressure’ dependant on how high the tank is above the tap/shower. In single storey installations this is generally about 20 to 24kPa.

    ####### Rinnai Roofmaster

    The Rinnai gravity feed Roofmaster water heaters are concealed in your roof space. The storage cylinder is made from heavy duty copper which makes it extremely reliable and corrosion resistant. The lower pressure at which they operate puts much less stress on the cylinder and fittings, so everything lasts that much longer.

    #### Solar Boosted Roofmaster

    ##### Roofmaster Prestige (Solar &/or Combustion Heater)

    Page 31

    In this installation the primary heating source utilises energy from the sun via Solar Collectors and/or energy generated from a slow combustion stove with a ‘wet back’ heat exchanger.

    Electric Range Overview

    The optional Electric element (Submerged ‘Bobbin type’ ) is then used only to boost water temperature in low pressure tank and is usually set up on an Off Peak tariff.

    For Roofmaster specifications including dimensions, please refer to page 31.

    #### Selecting the correct Electric system

    ##### Step 1 - Tariff

  • • Determine which tariff that is going to be used
  • • If using both Peak & Off-peak use the sizing guide for Off-peak
  • ##### Step 2 - Climate

    • Refer to the Climate Map on page 7 to reference whether the installation is in a warm or cool climate

    ##### Step 3 - Number of persons

  • • Determine the number of persons living in the home
  • • Also consider additional demand if it is a larger home with spare bedrooms
  • |Tank Size|Peak Electric (Continuous Tariff)|Peak Electric (Continuous Tariff)|Off-peak Electric|Off-peak Electric| |---|---|---|---|---| |Tank Size|Warm Climate|Cool Climate|Warm Climate|Cool Climate| |40 Litres|1|1|Not Recommended|Not Recommended| |80 Litres|2 to 3|1 to 2|1 to 2|Not Recommended| |125 Litres|3 to 4|2 to 3|2 to 3|1 to 2| |160 Litres|4 to 5|3 to 4|3 to 4|2 to 3| |200 Litres|6 to 7|4 to 5|4 to 5|3 to 4| |250 Litres|7 to 8|5 to 6|5 to 6|4 to 5| |315 Litres|8 to 9|6 to 7|6 to 7|5 to 6| |400 Litres|10+|8 +|8+|6+|

    |Always err on the high side when sizing electric systems. Under sizing can result in a lack of hot water and very unhappy customers!| |---|

    Electric Storage Recovery Times The recovery times for all storage tanks is based on 3 factors:

  • 1. The volume of water
  • 2. The size of the electric element
  • 3. The set temperature
  • The table below shows all available Rinnai sizes and assumes that the unit is wired for immediate reheat i.e. peak tariff. For Off-peak wired units, the table can only be used as a guide for how long it will take from the point that re-heating occurs.

    ####### Element size Litres per hour heated by 50ºC

  • 1.2kW element heats 20.6 litres
  • 2.4kW element heats 41.2 litres
  • 3.6kW element heats 61.9 litres
  • 4.8kW element heats 82.5 litres
