Superseded by the Rinnai Low-Medium Pressure Stainless Steel cylinders.
A fantastic replacement low pressure hot water cylinder, these cylinders cover your needs from low-medium pressure. Connect to a hot water heat pump or solar system using extra eco inlet connection (excl. the 135 L) either now or in the future.
Convenience
A range of hot water cylinders (135-250 L) that can be used at low and medium pressure. The 250 L cylinder has the option of a second element for faster recovery making it less likely you'll run out of hot water during high demand periods.
The range of hot water cylinders has triple entry making installation easy.
Suitable for
Not suitable as a pool or spa heater.
Water quality
HJ Cooper water heaters are manufactured to suit most New Zealand council water supplies. However some water supplies can have a detrimental effect on the water heater, its operation and life expectancy.
Water supplies with a high level of calcium carbonate (hard water) can cause scaling on hot surfaces. We recommend a water temperature of no more than 65 °C to minimise scale build-up. Scale reducing or water softening devices should be considered in hard water areas. The unit is not guaranteed against damage due to scaling.
