Product Description

The Rinnai Hotflo Hot Water Heat Pump is designed for homeowners that want to significantly reduce running costs while minimising their carbon footprint.

Key benefits and features:

Retrofits to virtually any brand of electric hot water cylinder
Simple installation, usually takes less than one day
Carbon footprint reduction with reduced energy consumption

Suitable for
• External domestic applications
• Connection to mains pressure hot water cylinders
• NZ geographical zones 1 and 2 only, refer map below

While the Hotflo Hot Water Heat Pump will operate at temperatures ranging between -7 °C to 45 °C, output and efficiency will reduce at lower temperatures. For example:

With an outside air temperature of 20 °C, the Hotflo Hot Water Heat Pump delivers 3 kW of heat output for every 1 kW used, making it 300% efficient
With an outside air temperature of 10 °C, the Hotflo Hot Water Heat Pump delivers 2.6 kW for every 1 kW used, making it 260% efficient

Not suitable as a spa or swimming pool heater.

Water quality
Not suitable for certain water chemistries. Examples of water quality issues where the water may need to be treated prior to using a Hoflo Hot Water Heat Pump are:

• Hard water areas such as in Wanganui
• Aggressive water areas such as in Christchurch
• Bore water areas where the water may be hard and/or aggressive

Geothermal hot spots
The Rinnai Hotflo Hot Water Heat Pump is not warranted against corrosion in geothermal hotspot areas such as Rotorua, where high levels of suplhur dioxide are present in the atmosphere.
