Today's fitness industry with its growing number of sports complexes and stand-alone gyms absolutely requires their hot water heating system to cope with peak demand usage and stay current with changing regulatory requirements.
There are many examples where owners are singularly unimpressed by the performance of their old or traditional cylinder stored hot water systems – these are wasteful of energy, leaking expensive heat in times of less demand - for example, the middle of the day. They are also proven to struggle when dealing with peak hour demands of hot water supply - as when the water runs out, no water is available until the recovery time is complete. There is also the ever-present risk that if the system fails there is no back up to provide hot water when it is needed most.
The cost involved in storing large amounts of hot water ‘just in case’ is prohibitive in today’s world of escalating energy costs and Rinnai’s continuous flow hot water solution is so much more efficient as it only heats as much water as necessary and only when the tap is turned on.
Rinnai’s range of continuous flow gas fired water heaters, especially the N Series for sites such as these, are engineered specifically to guarantee the highest efficiencies and the lowest running costs of any commercial water heating system.
Recently one club decided to rip out the wasteful stored hot water system and replace it with Rinnai continuous flow units. They are accurately sized and installed on a return system which will provide more than enough resource to ensure the club will never runs out of hot water, regardless how many members might decide to shower at the same time. The three units happily provide for 12 showers and 7 wash hand basins as well as a kitchen sink at the club.
Rinnai’s wall hung interior or exterior units effectively replaces the need for big bulky cylinders of stored hot water which take up valuable space and have high ongoing running costs while having standing losses.
Rinnai units offer the following cost cutting solutions - offers

The four models in the Rinnai N Series range:
N1600i giving 954 litres per hour;
N1600e (external) also giving 954 litres per hour (at 50 degrees);
N1300i giving 775 litres per hour;
N1300e also giving 775 litres per hours of temperature controlled at 50 degrees.
The two 1600s have load profiles of XXL and are water efficiency class A rated, while the 1300s are load profile XL and are also water efficiency class A rated.

The N Series is the most competitively priced product currently available in the UK sector. In addition, the Sensei N Series range offers a market leading 12-year extended warranty.
All designs in this range are low-NOx. The N Series utilises Rinnai’s patented advanced burner technology with a 13-1 turn down ratio – the largest on the market – including extremely quiet operation. Integral controls on the units enable the water heater to achieve high efficiencies due to advanced burner control and high modulation ranges.
Advanced burner controls with the N Series models ensure all appliances are well ahead of the NOx requirements set within ErP. The current level of permissible NOx set by ErP is 56 mg/Kwh. The Sensei N Series is third-party tested at 28 mg/Kwh making them one of the greenest water heating appliances available.
Rinnai’s continuous flow heater systems are proven to be more energy efficient than conventional storage systems and are increasingly the experts’ preferred method of hot water provision. Rinnai units easily cater for any size projects that demand high volumes of water at intermittent times of day.
