1000 gallon savings based on study done by Consol Engineering resulting from optimal central location of a Rinnai TWH-1000 gallon savings based on study done by Consol Engineering resulting from optimal central location of a Rinnai TWH.

- Recycle-ability: the materials of a Rinnai are up to 95% recyclable, meaning nearly zero impact on landfills.

- Benefits are scalable; this was data prepared for a community showing dramatic effects for just 50,000 new or existing homes.

- Easy to see the dramatic impact this can have at a national level, given 60million tanks in service and 10million new sold yearly.
