I had a power outage and when I tried to manually turn the water heater on via the remote, I noticed that my remote wasn’t working, even with new batteries. Is there any way to bypass the remote to get the water heater on? We’ve had no hot water since yesterday.

This is a huge weakness with this model as I get frequent outages in my area. It requires re-pairing the RF module that connects into the bottom. There are instructions in the manual that comes with the unit.

I am considering connecting a UPS so that I don’t have to go through this procedure each time. I never change the temp, and only picked this unit because it was pretty. I should have gone for a B26 or similar in retrospect.

I am looking to install this unit. Will the wireless controller reach my ensuite bathroom which would be about 20 metres from the unit and would travel through one wall and brick exterior wall? Lyle

How do you set the auto on the feature so that after power failure the water heater turns on?

This is a huge pain in the behind for this model. It requires re-pairing the RF module after each outage.

I have a Rinnai Infinity 26. It does not have the word touch on it. It is not heating after a power outage. We have had outages before without this result

Do you have a remote control? If so - defaulting to OFF after a power outage is a "feature". (you need to turn it on again at the remote) I had the same problem and reported to Rinnai support. Maybe you could do the same?

Hi, Andrew. Thanks for the response. I don’t have a remote, but did locate a “panel” on the door frame to the bathroom. We have not been in this house for long. The power outage had the screens off. Once we pressed “On”, we were able to reset the temp, etc and away we went

When I turn the outdoor bath hot tap on fully, the water heater shuts down. When I turn tap off , it reverts to 42 deg. Too much volume / pressure to heat?

Hello, we have an Rinnai Infinity 26 Touch. We had a power outage, it is back on now but we have no display at all on our remote control. We have changed the batteries and still nothing. Help !! We have no hot water !!

Read what was has been said before. The controller is suspect when there is power outages or spikes. You really don't need it . Disconnect the the little plastic connection between the main unit and the small box. My unit automatically went to the default temp of 50 degC . Just turn on the hot water tap fully and wait the 20 sec's for it to get back to normal. I don't understand why Rinnai has not fixed this issue. It is the weak link in an otherwise very good product.

What it means C1 on display heater and wireless controllers-0

Rinnai
Rinnai   DM   

Thanks for the question Fakhri. The Infinity Touch will display the number of controllers currently linked, so the C1 indicates there is 1 controller attached.

Thanks Rinnai Australia

How do you reconnect the remote on a 26 touch? House was empty for 3 months and remote seems to be no longer paired to the unit. Just has eithe 0 or 1 on the remote screen. Comes up with C1 on the unit for just a brief period when you switch it on at the powerpoint

Our water is running much colder than our controller is saying. It is set at 45 but our water temperature is probably about 25. We are currently renovating so builders are turning electricity off and on everyday and have also turned water off and on. I have tried turning the machine off and on plus the controller but it hasn't fixed it. Any ideas?

I’ve just had the unit installed. It tested fine with the extension cord. After the electrician installed the power point outside and turn it back on the remote reads -0 and won’t sync to the unit. I haven’t even had a chance to have a shower. I hope this doesn’t happen every tine we have a power outage. Please help!

Hi Karen,

This is very much a warranty issue. They need to come back and fix it up for you ASAP.

What's the remote control distance range from the unit? taking into consideration walls and other obstacles.

Thanks for the question Johnny, it is difficult to answer this question as it will depend on the wall type and obstacles. Each installation will be different.

Megan · Infinity 26 Touch

I note there is an optional pre heat function to warm the pipes

In winter we are in an area that gets to -3 deg

I was wondering can’t this be fitted after the unit has been installed ?

Our controller has the option in it and you can press it but how do we know if the unit we have really has this option?

Grant
Grant · Infinity 26 Touch

Hi, my infinity 26 touch continues to operate after the hot water is turned off. I have had the unit for less than 3 years and it has worked well until just recently. Normally the unit will turn off within 30 seconds of closing the hot water but now it just stays on unless I turn the cold water inlet valve off, any help?

Rinnai
Rinnai   DM   

Thanks for the question Grant, it may be that there is a leak somewhere in the pipework from the unit to the outlet where you are using the hot water as the system will shut off when this outlet is closed unless there is somewhere else for the water to go. We would recommend contacting a plumber to check the pipework. If you require further clarification please call our technical help desk on 1300 555 545 option 3.

Grant
Grant  

Thank you for the response. Yes, there was a leak in the pipework from the unit as you have described. I located it yesterday and had a plumber repair the leak. The hot water system is now working normally. Cheers.

Hi just a few questions. What is the range of the remotes and how many remotes can be used on one unit? What is the temperature range?

Rinnai
Rinnai   DM   

Thanks for the question Daniel, the Infinity Touch comes with one wireless controller and you can add a further 3 controllers to the unit. When you have 2 installed your warranty is increased to 5 years.

The range of temperatures will start at 37 degrees, this is the minimum the (non adjusted) Infinity will produce. The maximum will depend on the model of unit purchased. For the 50 degree unit this will be the maximum, the 60 degree unit will allow non bathroom areas to reach 60 degrees.

if you require any further information, please refer to the Rinnai Australia website, or you can call our team on 1300 555 545.

Cm2330

Hi just want to ask what will be the difference between 50 and 60 degrees celcius? I've bought the 60 degrees and the plumber is charging me more for the installation

Rinnai
Rinnai   DM   

Thanks for the question Cm2330. The difference between the 2 units is the maximum temperature that the unit will produce. If you have a 60 degree unit installed the plumber will have to insure the water delivered to bathroom taps is tempered down to 50 degrees. This usually involves the installation of a tempering valve to the bathroom and additional pipework. This means taps in kitchen and laundry can operate at the higher temperature. The 50 degree unit does not require this extra work but the maximum temperature at the nearest bathroom and beyond will be 50 degrees and the unit cannot be adjusted up.

You can find more information about the 50 degree regulations here:

Thanks for the question Michael, the Rinnai INFINITY Touch does need power to start up but can be run from a powerbank, our technical help desk can give the most up to date advise based on the unit you have. They are available on 1300 555 545 Monday to Friday 8.00am to 5.30pm
