Rheem has launched its new Metro 26 Continuous Flow water heater – and it combines a range of features and benefits that will appeal to both installers and householders.

“This sleek, unobtrusive system sets a new benchmark in continuous flow gas hot water,” says John Wilkins, Rheem Australia Product Marketing Manager. “Aesthetically it has smooth lines with concealed screws, and comes in a modern colour, which will be of interest to householders; and for installers – we’ve made this system even more flexible for ease of installation. Its compact for smaller or cramped spaces, while the standard unit is compatible with Rheem Flue diverters to ensure even greater flexibility.”

The 6 Star Rheem Metro 26 has also been created with water and energy saving at the forefront – most notably the improved hot water delivery at cold start up. “This is a marked improvement while still reinforcing the water saving benefits of the new system,” adds John.
