Dux Storage Unit to Rheem Metro 26

Tankless Gas

Rheem Metro

The customer on this job was complaining of unreliable hot water temperature delivery and they also ran out of hot water on a regular basis.  The Dux unit is a reliable and durable unit, this one was just at the end of its useable life.

The decision was made to install a Rheem Metro 26 50 Deg C unit.  The gas meter was close by so this option was an affordable choice and installation only required a minor gas pipe upgrade. 

These jobs are more affordable than you may think, in fact sometimes on a par, cost wise with putting in a good quality storage tank.

This unit is factory set to 50 Deg C so the customer now has a constant and continuous supply of hot water.  The Rheem Metro is a quality unit made in Japan.  It has a 10 year warranty on the heat exchanger.  The Rheem unit also comes complete with status monitor on the front cover so the customer always know what the unit is doing at a glance.  

Tankless Hot Water

The above job is a perfect example of a tankless installation.  In this example we went from gas storage hot water to gas continuous flow or tankless.  Tankless hot water is a popular choice for providing hot water.  There is no large bulky tank which may take up valuable space in your back yard.  They do not have pilot lights that blow out in strong winds.  Perfect for holiday homes as you only use gas when the hot tap is turned on.

You do not run out of hot water as hot water delivery is continuous.
