Bye bye hot water cylinder, hello continuous hot water!Last week we waved goodbye to our Parker gas hot water cylinder and had a Rinnai Infinity XR24 installed... for various reasons, it was time to upgrade.
We now have a biiiiig huge empty space in the airing cupboard where the cylinder used to be: hmmmm I can feel a towel and sheet reorganisation coming on!
Mr Kiwi took the cylinder apart: it's lined with a huge amount of copper, so that got sold to the scrap metal merchants and he's going to take me out for dinner with the proceeds. The outer part went into the skip with the other rubbish we cleared out last week.
Project cost: TBC
The verdict
So what's the new hot water system like? Bliss!!! The water pressure in the shower is so strong that it almost blasts you back out through the door! And we now have enough hot water to actually fill up our bath tub. Lovely!
Contractors
- The plumbing and gas fitting was done by Plumbing Magic.
- The electrical work was done by Jon King Electrical.

We actually did the same! We love the Rinnai. Continuous hot water is bliss. We converted our old hot water closet into a much needed pantry as it was in the kitchen.
