  • High-Performance & Hassle-free - Rinnai RU199iN Delivers!
Style: Natural Gas, Indoor Installation Size: 11 GPM
October 2023 - The takeaway is that anyone who complains about these not working well did not install it correctly (and won't admit it). I am shocked at how well this thing works. I am still amazed how quiet it is. No further occurrences of errors. Works fine with furnace running even supplied through a 1/2in tee from a 1 in main supply to the basement. Sep 2023 Brief update: I had one occurrence of error 12 - flame out. But it hasn't happened again. I hope it was a fluke caused by our gas supply and nothing else. If not, I'll investigate and update my review afterward. Original review Aug 2023: My recent experience with the Rinnai RU199iN tankless hot water heater has, in a single word, been excellent! It's like the ninja of water heaters - quiet and incredibly efficient in performance. Getting it up and running was straightforward, similar to the typical expectations of setting up the necessary plumbing, gas, venting, and electrical work. However, it's important to note that this isn't like replacing a conventional tank where everything falls into place easily. Rather, it is like a fitting jigsaw puzzle into place, not easy per se, but not too daunting either. The most fun was renting a rotary hammer from Home Depot to bore the vent holes though brick. For anyone worried about gas lines like me, you may appreciate this little surprise. The unit appears to have an internal gas booster pump. Ingenious, right? I chose to run it off of an existing gas line which was originally fed from a 1-inch line from the meter, with a brief downgrade to a 1/2 inch, before returning to a 3/4 inch. Despite my initial concern, it seems to function flawlessly under these conditions. But I am not complacent, and plan to eventually test all my gas appliances together in full throttle, just to be certain that the supply line capacity holds up. One of the most commendable features of the Rinnai RU199iN? Stable hot water output. Not once did I experience any hot water fluctuations during use. An absolute win! However, I did notice a slightly longer delay to get hot water on a cold startup, taking approximately 10 to 15 seconds longer compared to traditional heaters. But once it gets going, it provides steady, continuous hot water supply. Oh, and I must add - I did the installation myself. So, for all the DIY enthusiasts out there, this little project is quite manageable and rewarding. In conclusion, the Rinnai RU199iN tankless hot water heater has proven to be a stellar addition to my home. It delivers consistent performance, minimal noise, and solid dependability. If what you're after is a top-notch appliance that couples functionality with ease of use, then the Rinnai RU199iN certainly fits the bill. Five stars for this one, without a second thought! ... show more

  • ru199en
I installed this ru199en myself. I got it up and running around the 1st of April 2024. it's great! endless hot water. I can run the hot water from every source in my home and never have a break in hot water. my wife is thrilled, despite the price of it. this heater is replacing a less than 3 gpm electric tankless water heater that still works and is still connected, as a backup. as far as the ease of installation, it may be easier for some, depending your current setup and the location. I had to drill thru brick and crawl under my house, countless times to run the water and gas lines. it's very dirty under there. i also added a water filter to the inlet side because the county regularly has to repair water lines, in my neighborhood and a lot of dirt gets into the lines. now that it's done, I'm very satisfied. as for now, I highly recommend this water heater. I will update this review if needed. oh, one more thing. I did a lot of research before buying, including watching several youtube videos on the installation. i also have some maintenance background since I went to school for industrial maintenance and have been doing my own home repairs for 32 years. if you plan to do it yourself, do the research and be safe. ... show more

  • First Impressions
Style: Natural Gas, Indoor Installation Size: 11 GPM
I installed the unit at the end of April after concluding that the RU199iN was my best option based on a lot of research. These are my first impressions. On arrival, I was very impressed by the packaging. The unit is double-boxed with heavy foam isolation between the boxes. Unpacking was a breeze. I looked inside the unit to check for transit damage—no issues—and the build quality looked excellent. I installed the unit, which proved to be quite easy for a person with moderate plumbing skills. The instructions were excellent, and there are many YouTube videos that provide useful tips. Operational experience: The unit provides an excellent continuous source of hot water. No problem filling the jacuzzi while having a shower and using the dishwasher. In my opinion, you need a circulating pump to get fast hot water. We already had one with our tank unit because it took a long time for hot water to reach the most distant bathroom. So, I reused the circulating pump, which is controlled by our home automation system based on motion sensors in the bathrooms. This works great with this heater. So far, I only have two cons: The front cover screws are all covered by plastic snap-in strips, which I removed to inspect the internals. Once removed, they fit back quite loosely and don't seem to snap back in. The pressure release valve is shipped already attached to its union. The resulting assembly causes the outlet tube to be skewed, which looks unprofessional. I can easily fix it, but it would be better if the parts were shipped separately. That's it for now. I'll update the review when I've got some mileage and economy data. UPDATE 7/1/23. Ok we now have before and after gas bills without the variability due to using the gas furnace for home heating. Basically we are using 50% of the gas we used last year for water heating under similar use conditions. If anything we filled the big whirlpool tub more often this year. ... show more
