Christopherasked
Hi
Can the filter on these units be replaced ?
1 answer
Rinnai A.Rinnai
Hi Christopher,
Thank you for the question.
I have checked with the technical help desk team and they have confirmed the filters can still be purchased through Tradelink or Reece stores.
I have also checked the manual and it states, filters should be cleaned every week during the winter season.
Thanks

Traceyasked
Hi I have a Rinnai 556FM Heater what does it mean when the on light flashes Red after it tries to start?
1 answer
Rinnai A.Rinnai
Hi Tracey,
The ON indicator will change colour from red to green when the heater reaches the pre-set temperature and stops running. If the heater does not ignite then the pre-set temperature may not be set to a setting which is higher than the room temperature.
Thanks

Kent B.asked
Ive just noticed a small amount of water on the floor behind the my heater 556FTR (rear right side viewed from front). Its not a large amount which leads me to think it may just be condensation. All functions otherwise appear normal. No smells or other issues. Should I be concerned?
2 answers
Rinnai A.Rinnai
Hi Kent, thanks for the question, we would recommend a service call for the unit to be sure there is no underlying cause for the water which may lead to issues. You can book online here:

My Rinnai 557FTR won't heat over around 16 at night when its freezing outside. It seems OK during the day but can't handle the real cold nights like it used to. Does it need some sort of service or what?
