A TOUCH OF GENIUS
FROM RINNAI
Rinnai has just
introduced a unit
incorporating
innovative fingertip
wireless temperature
control technology –
the Rinnai Infinity 26
Touch.
Featuring a
showerproof, wireless
controller and pre-
connected transceiver,
Rinnai claims it has
now made temperature
control easier than
ever before.
Installers only need to mount the weather-
proof ‘quick connect’ transceiver under or
near the unit during installation (it requires no
electrical certification) and hand the controller
to the end user – it’s that simple.
The new 6-star energy efficient Infinity 26 Touch
comes packed with features that both plumbers and
customers will love!
Wireless control technology and components are
supplied with the unit, which also features inbuilt
Puretemp temperature stability technology and
a status operation monitor. High quality internal
components are built by Rinnai, and backed by a leading
12-year heat exchanger warranty.
Customers will appreciate the wireless temperature
control as technology in the home continues to become
more automated. Imagine no longer needing to mess
around mixing hot and cold water to set the perfect
temperature.
Being able to accurately set hot water temperature
helps reduce wastage and save on energy costs, as well
as set safe temperatures for children. One controller is
supplied with the unit and additional controllers can be
purchased for added convenience.

system and how it’s changing everything they thought
about temperature controlled hot water; visit the Rinnai
Institute of Comfort at its website.
OPTIMUM FLOW
Bosch has released the latest addition to its gas
powered continuous flow product range, the Bosch
4000S. The range includes three internal room-sealed
appliances (12L, 16L and 20L). This capacity range
is unique within the AU/NZ market, and is ideal for
the rapidly growing medium and high density building
sectors. The range also includes one external model
(12L). This unit shares common plumbing connections
to the Bosch Pilot and Hydropower continuous flow
water heaters, and is therefore an ideal replacement
alternative when changing to an electric ignition model.
Each model is available in Natural and LP gas models,
and 50C temperature locked models are also available.
The internal appliances have a built-in temperature
controller. An additional main (kitchen) controller
can be purchased separately and can be attached to
both the internal and external models. The controllers
allow accurate temperature selection and will allow
consumers to preset their most commonly used
temperature. The controllers also serve as a diagnostic
tool for the servicing plumber.
The 4000S appliances have the Bosch OptiFlow
system fitted as standard. OptiFlow is a patented
algorithm built into the appliance to adjust the fan speed
during operation to ensure optimum performance. This
means no adjustment to the fan speed is required at
installation, and any change of airflow to the appliance
can be offset automatically by the OptiFlow system.
Bosch supply the proprietary coaxial flue system for
the internal appliances. To make ordering the flue system
easy, each flue application is supplied in kit form. Adaptors
to the appliance, fixings, and terminals, are supplied as
part of these kits, and additional flue extensions and
bends are available as separate part numbers.
