Reduce ‘dead legs’, long runs of hot water piping
Allows you to pre heat the water in the pipes before you turn on the hot tap
Simply activated by the 'preheat' button on any Rinnai water controller or a manual control switch
Saves tens of thousands of litres of water over the life of your hot water system
The Smartstart system works as follows
Before hot water is required, the user activates the Smartstart system by pressing the 'preheat' button on the water controller or by pressing the Manual Activation Switch.
This activates the Smartstart system and the integral pump is switched on. Water flows from the pump and passes through the water heater. This in turn activates the water heater burner and water in the flow and return heating loop begins to heat. When the Smartstart control module senses that the water in the full length of the flow and return heating loop has been heated, the pump and water heater stop operating. The user opens the desired hot water outlet. Preheated water will be delivered from the flow and return heating loop to the outlet.

Rinnai Infinity Smartstart Water Saver System REU-CUG1 pre heats the water in the pipe work between the water heater and the hot water outlets before any outlets are opened using the 'flow and return' pipe work principle. This results in water savings and reduced waiting time for heated water delivery from the outlet when opened. Traditional 'flow and return' systems usually keep the water in the pipe work heated continuously. The Smartstart system only heats the water before the outlet is opened which results in significant energy savings because water is not heated unnecessarily whilst retaining the benefits of traditional flow and return systems.
The Rinnai Smartstart kit comprises an enclosure containing circulating pump, water connections for cold water inlet, cold water outlet and heating loop return, control wiring and printed circuit board. It is fitted with an electric power cord with three pin plug suitable for connection to a 240V 50Hz 10Amp GPO. It is also fitted with a control lead for connection to the Rinnai water heater.
