"The recirculating functionality (and primarily the app and interface with smart home systems) is a pretty big disappointment. "

Quick response to failed part order request and warranty coverage confirmation. Updated models include a redesign preventing bugs to clog up filter.

"Flow rate"

Anonymous Mar 15, 2021

They say the flow rate is 11 GPM. If you have a big bath tub then your only going to get 5gpm of hot water which can’t be adjusted. So if you have a hug bath tub or need a good flow rate stick to a tank water heater. That’s something they don’t tell you when they sell it to you. After 2 months of my asking why my water flow was so low they blamed it in low water pressure coming into the house. Finally a Rinnia rep was called and talked to directly and he stated, “ oh if you have a huge tub then the heater core can’t keep up so you either have to lower you water temp to below 100degrees or go back to a tank water heater because the flow rate is only 5gpm when using hot water.

This unit comes with a remote bluetooth module. Its more of an afterthought. It fails regularly and I would not recommend Rinnai to anyone. Nor will I buy any of their products again.

"Rinnai Hotwater Heater Review"

WishMaster Jul 29, 2020

I have had it for a year. It came installed in my new home. So far it works well, it’s nice to have the remotes, but even better to have the APP installed in the phone. Just a press when you get up in the morning and the water is hot for as long as you use it. The only issue would be if the city has a Natural Gas distribution problem.

The idea is great, but in 3 years, I've never gotten it to work once, and I've never been able to get in touch with anyone for help.

The Rinnai has been great except it will stop working mid shower and we lose all hot water. We have been In anew house two years.

"Highly recommend the Control-R™ module on the Rinnai Tankless Water Heater "

KC Jun 2, 2020

We didn't install this product until 3 months ago. Before that, we had to run lots of cold water until the water becomes hot. It is a super efficient product to own. Water can be heated within just one minute once you turn on the preheat. This is an energy and water saving product. Really love it.

"Instant Heat!!"

I have only had this system for a year and will never go back to the tank water heater. The ability to set when the hot water when needed is a real water saver. I feel great that I am not wasting water!
