RHEEM AND RINNAI GAS INSTANTANEOUS

The Shoalhaven is primarily LPG with only a small portion of Nowra, Bomaderry and North Nowra with natural gas. If using LPG there is only one choice, that is instantaneous or constant flow units - these units heat the water only when required. Advantages include:

• less gas consumption and economical to run.
• no permanent pilot.
• no pilot outage problems in windy conditions
• no standby loss (not keeping a full cylinder hot).
• you can't run out of hot water.
• an average family will use one bottle of LPG every 6 - 8 weeks.
• full temperature control if required.
