Cheaper way to provide a new hot water
supply
Rinnai UK, suppliers of continuous flow water heaters introduce the Infinity 16i and 16e models, specifically designed for the domestic market.
It's commonplace when homeowners are planning the construction of an en-suite bathroom to consider the installation of an independently powered shower This is often a simpler alternative to extending the supply from the existing hot water network

It also avoids the provision and cost of that additional booster pump and thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) that will probably be needed.
And to use the existing hot water supply can mean possible hot water shortages, as a system designed for one bathroom finds itself having to serve two.
To overcome problems like these, people are likely to be thinking of having an electric shower fitted, although this obviously limits the look of the finished en-suite, not permitting the use of today's fashionable showerheads and fittings.
And in any event, the basin, bidet and maybe a bath will still need to rely on the old system.
But here is an interesting and energy saving alternative to consider.
Rinnai UK have been supplying continuous flow water heaters to the commercial market for many years, but until now there has not been a product specifically designed for the domestic market.
All this has changed with the introduction of the Infinity 16i and 16e models.
The 16i has a built in controller maintaining the temperature of the water within +/-1C even if, for example, a tap is turned on or a toilet is flushed in another part of the house; it's a bit like having a built in hi-tec TMV.
And the Infinity 16e is designed to be mounted on the outside of a building, thereby removing the need for the provision of a flue and in the process requiring no internal space to be set aside for it at all.
Both hot water heaters are intended for domestic use and are capable of providing enough hot water at near mains pressure for up to two standard showerheads simultaneously! With running costs up to 30% less than a conventional stored hot water system, and even greater savings when compared to an electric shower, these units will soon pay for themselves, and are a simple space saving and convenient installation alternative.
And of course, accurate water temperature control, with the increased capacity available from a Rinnai Infinity water heater, means there would be sufficient safe hot water for a complete bathroom, not just an extra shower.
