Rinnai Launches New Tankless Water Heater

Rinnai America Corporation launches the RE Series Tankless Water Heater, a non-condensing unit with a built-in pump, featuring Smart-Circ Intelligent Recirculation.

Assembled in the company’s recently opened manufacturing facility in Griffin, Georgia, the RE Series is the first Rinnai product manufactured in the U.S.

The newly designed series makes tankless water heaters even smarter to install with the addition of:

• A clean internal layout with a wiring harness and fewer fasteners to make it easy to see and access different components.
• A safety handle and seating bracket for the heat exchanger and combustion system to protect different components.
• A LED screen to set maintenance and service reminders, as well as provide error codes and alerts for when a lime scale flush is required.
• A sliding wall bracket allows a single installer to handle and slide the unit horizontally to align with venting before securing the unit to the drywall.
• The Smart-Circ technology makes installation easier, as external controllers are no longer needed to ensure customers have hot water when they need it.

The technology learns a user’s hot water usage patterns over seven days, then schedules the built-in pump and times recirculation patterns accordingly. Users enjoy hot water during regular demand periods while saving energy and money. It is also available with the control•r Wi-Fi module, to achieve scheduled recirculation or on-demand operations.
