Our solar hot water systems are designed to work with both gas and electric boosters.

They do not have inbuilt electric boosters as we found these very inefficient and expensive to run.

The most cost effective boosters in areas with mains gas are continuous gas hot water systems like the ‘Rinnai Infinity’ .

Gas Boost

What is the Booster?

The booster is simply a backstop to make sure you always have hot water available, such as during cloudy or rainy weather or during the winter months. It also operates should you exhaust the stored water on those occasions when an extra family stays for a weekend!

• The in-line gas booster detects the temperature of the solar pre-heated water from the cylinder. Gas boosting automatically operates, only when necessary to maintain full delivery temperature

• Regardless of whether your hot water is used in the mornings or evenings, gas boosting is the most efficient, convenient and cost effective boost option Gas boosters operate only on demand and have the additional benefit of never running out of hot water

LPG versions of these style of units are also exceptional as our SHWS need very little boosting.

You can also run our units in sets of two or three for more hot water and less boosting. These style of configurations are ideal for commercial purposes like restaurants, caravan parks and laundromats which use most of its hot water during the day.

And yes, we have provided commercial businesses including restaurants, caravan parks and laundromats with their Solar Hot Water Systems around Australia.
