Nice video!

I am confused between rheem 180L ambi power and istore 180l. Rheem is 600$ more than istore .Please advise. thanks.

Thanks for the well considered presentation. 👍

Useless

Hey guys, just stumbled across this. Great info. We're in Nth QLD and tossing up between instantaneous electric or stored. Can a single phase instantaneous be fitted outside? Or in a meter box as weather protection?

Very helpful however my lcd display doesn’t display anything when dip switch 3 is in the ‘on’ position. I increased the temp regardless (assuming it was on 48) and it seems to have worked.

When i lived in the US i had to change the anode on my tank. I've never done that in Australia. Is that normal? Do people do that here? Or do you guys do that?

First video I've come across on the topic from an Australian company which explains the pros and cons so well. I'm on a 27c per kWh tariff so it costs the same to heat hot water regardless of the time of day but I don't have 3 phase power in my apartment and for me (I'm also in Blacktown), it gets to around 20 degrees in the winter time in the apartment. Is that cold enough to require 3 phase power?

All these systems are BS. Best hot water is a Rinnai gas instant unit. No tank small size and they work great.

frikking good information here. too good. Thanks for this

Gday, which Brands and models do you think will be most easily repaired/serviced in future? Availability of parts long term would also be a big issue I imagine.

Best price in Australia $2300 heat pump & installed same day in WA you can’t go wrong 👍

thanks for the details. Do you see a problem fitting a split system to a second story balcony of a flat?

A perfect step by step if you have the B26. Thanks guys!

Why don't you you turn the F#@king music up a bit louder so people can't hear you at all!

my tankless continuous flow gas water heater keeps cutting off and needs restarting. its only been 6 years, and my plumber says I have to buy a new Rinnai B26 one for $2000, the old one they said they don't know how to maintain so it has to be replaced. sounds expensive. my cylinder in my other house is still going strong with zero maintanace for 16 years.

unfortunately nobody talks about how loud these are outside of a bedroom, always consider where you install them. also the water is not instant with one of these, yes it is instant in the eyes of the maker, but in the hands of a user - takes a long time for the water to flow, then the gas to start up the pilot light to light the gas, and then, as for any system, for that water to flow to the tap in the kitchen. its about 3 times slower than regular hot water cylinders. same goes when you wait for your shower to be ready to hop in using these 'instantaneous' gas systems, that are not instantaneous at the tap for the consumer, when compared to a regular cylinder.

This looks great. Thanks to your videos I've jotted you down to install one of these when my house is built in Campbelltown. We had to go with gas, but I put in a dedicated circuit and junction point for hotwater in the future so I would like to migrate over to one of these. My only concern is while all reviews are great, the one complaint is they often ship damaged units which affect aesthetics and possibly could performance. People say reclaim hasn't been that helpful to deal with either. What is your take on this? Are the new units free of dents etc.

Is this the same for the 20L thanks

Carbon footprint is rubbish. It's about money and also being efficient so it can be run off grid to avoid relying on the government and bullshit retailers

Excellent review and advise

Another great post! Is there a minimum distance for the outdoor condenser to the storage tank?

Thanks so much for posting this, very useful and informative!

Legend, thank you very much

Ive just done this and the water at the tap is definitely hotter, but the universal controller still wont go above 50. Can anyone give more information on how to get the controller to match? Thanks

It looks like the daikin altherma system with the cylinder has the refrigerant lines going into the cylinder. That one looks interesting!

I am a single mum new house and sick of not having water hot enough, even i could follow these instructions. Thanks heaps

Cheers, even a layman can sort this!

I have a rinnai enviroflo 315. How do you adjust the heating time? Currently it starts midnight till 5 am which is not ideal… rather during the day off peak. Any advise appreciated

Great info mate. Appreciate the video

Great Video, super informative Tye!

i have a 390 and it's been nothing but trouble i wish i knew about this before i purchased this stupid unit. firstly, the unit delivers only just hot water, and the pressure relief valve has been replaced 3 times. After you have done a hot load of washing the pressure relief valve starts pouring out water at full force. If i turn off the intake water faucet it stops coming out of the relief valve. such a stupid unit get a 340

Thank you so informative ❤

Is it safe to adjust while the power is on?

Works on the rinnai 26 infinity Touch.. water was only 46°, now its coming out almost 54°.. why aren't these instructions in the booklets :/ my plumber didn't test water temp at taps or anything, the controller still won't let me select 55°(controller flashes and goes back to 50) but the system sends 54° water ...

No one ever talks about how very loud these constant hot water systems are?

No one ever talks about how very loud these constant hot water systems are?

How regularly do the Reclaim units need service, and whats the average cost per service?

Hi, mine one is using a lot of gas and then stops working even though gas is still left in the tank. Is there a gas pressure adjustment that may have been set too high thus when the bottle gets low the pressure is reduced and no hot water. But can still cook on the stove.....

Can this be installed inside a house?

Thanks, very helpful info :)

Awesome video. I'm concerned about all the brands that use gas r134a which has a global warming rating of 1400+. Compare this to the brands that use propane (r290) which has a global warming rating of 3, or CO2, which has a rating of 1 (such as Rheem, Aquatech, Sanden and Reclaim). Would love to hear of any others brands that use these better gasses.

Thanks mate... Very helpful

I got a 390 and I am having to change the mixing valve now because it broke. Yes, 340 is the way to go.

Not sure if Rheem is available in Australia, that's the brand I'm looking at.
