Instant v stoarge Howt water service

[Tubby2]

We have just moved into our new home (2 weeks ago) and I'm ready to rip the bloddy thing off the wall (Rinnai Infinity 26). The water pressure is useless. I ripped the water restrictors off the taps to increase the flow from a tricle (you couldnt even rinse you hair of shampoo) but its still crap. The actual water presure of the cold water is great but I'm assuming the Instantaneous system needed to reduce the pressure in order to heat it properly. I'm not one for water saving or more efficient HWS just gimme a decent shower!

End of Rant!


I will be talking to a plumber to see what can be done about is as we installed 2 shower heads in one shower so we could both have a shower at the same time. It turns out it was a waste because of the water pressure only one tap can be going at any one time.

just on the heat pump type mcblurter there is a brand on the market call Quantam Hot Water check em www.quantumenergy.com.au out I think from memory they have an excellent operational ranges they are expensive but from what I understand they are the most energy efficient on the market

Tubby2, how did you go regarding this, I am currently investigating instant gas hot water, and this is one of the ones I was looking at getting
