Property experts and contractors have completed the installation of a complete new hot water delivery system at a top London Premiership football club, replacing an outdated stored cylinder configuration with a practical and economic hot water solution. The renowned club replaced their old traditional system with a specifically designed new energy-efficient Rinnai continuous flow delivery on demand water heaters that offer and are certified for Hydrogen blends of up to 20%.
Rinnai water heating systems have been installed in almost all top UK Premiership clubs. The latest installation was completed at a stadium which is less than 20 years old and was considered ‘state-of-the-art’ once completed. The club had initially utilised a traditional stored system where hot water is kept heated until required. The new system is capable of delivering over 9000 litres of temperature-controlled hot water each and every hour, non-stop.
A Premiership football club will have huge peaks of demand, and the site simply cannot afford to run out of hot water on match days. The demand is for the kitchens, the catering, the hospitality, the toilets, and the extensive wash and showering facilities, including the ablution room with its ablution sinks.
Continuous flow systems heat water upon demand, meaning that fuel is only used when the system is operational.
The installation completed at this London Premiership club included a manifolded bank of 10 Rinnai Sensei N series 1600i continuous flow water heaters together with the Nexus scale protection and a BMS Integration. All units featured Rinnai commissioning to secure long-term warranty guarantees.
“We were able to demonstrate that the Rinnai system can yield financial reductions of nearly 20% of the running cost, over 30% of the upfront cost, over 15% in carbon footprint, over 75% in space, and over 85% in weight compared to heated storage systems, creating a highly practical and economic solution for the client whilst lowering onsite carbon.”

Rinnai continuous flow water heaters are an integral part of the organisation's H1 initiative which aims to utilise natural gas, Hydrogen blends, Hydrogen, LPG, and Bio-LPG to lower onsite emissions. Rinnai continuous flow units are typically 30kg - a one-man lift, making the entire installation process far easier. Two sizes are available - 47kW and 58kW. Both produce 774 and 954 litres per hour at a 50-degree rise respectively.
