Millom Rugby Union Football Club situated in the scenic Cumbrian countryside, is a a multi-use facility that includes rugby pitches and a popular caravan and camping ground. The club required a reliable, energy-efficient hot water solution to replace its traditional stored hot water supply.
The system was required to meet a high and variable demand from matchday players, onsite staff, and campsite visitors who demand comfort and safety. The variable nature of demand created multiple peaks in supply throughout the day.
The site is off-grid and reliant on LPG, and initial plans to connect to mains gas were abandoned due to the prohibitive cost and limitations of the existing infrastructure – therefore Rinnai LPG to BioLPG hot water system were seen as both an economical and ecological route to lower costs and carbon.
After consultation with Rinnai engineering experts, the Club installed four N Series 1600 continuous flow water heaters all supplying instant temperature accurate hot water on demand for all players and caravan site visitors.
Originally a stored water system was proposed but Rinnai’s engineering team provided a full CAPEX, OPEX, and lifecycle cost analysis as standard. This demonstrated that a LPG and BioLPG ready continuous flow system would outperform a traditional stored hot water system in terms of:
- Energy efficiency
- Operational cost savings
- Carbon footprint reduction
- System longevity and reliability (up to 12 years warranty)

All Rinnai appliances are manufactured under strict guidelines of ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management. The commercial continuous flow water heaters are designed to provide almost limitless volumes of cost-effective and temperature controlled hot water.
Each Rinnai N Series gas fired water heater offers a more compact and enhanced combustion design that allows for convenient installation, superior operational performance, and easy accessibility when servicing is required. All additional components are designed and manufactured by Rinnai ensuring proven quality and reliability.
The Rinnai N Series is the first ever continuous flow water heater manufactured with stainless steel heat exchangers to be available in the UK - this provides an extended working life at optimum performance to each of the four models in the range.

Features include:
- Flue up to 48+ metres for concentric for flexible mounting
- Turbo Fan and longevity
- Built-in controller as standard on both internal and external models for easy set up
- Cascade Cable assembly allows up to twenty-four water heaters to be connected and function as one total and complete system. Any number of N-series Rinnai water heaters can be manifolded together enabling the largest capacities on the market.
- Frost Protection – minus 15°C on the internal versions and minus 20 °C on the external versions for flexible installation
- Temperature setting up to 85 degrees for legionella protection or high temperature projects
- Maintenance Monitor for engineers for easy system updates, diagnostics or set up.
All Rinnai products in this range are low-NOx. The N Series uses Rinnai’s patented advanced burner technology with a 13-1 turn down ratio – the largest on the market meaning the water heater is optimising gas usage at all times which equates to energy and cost savings. All Rinnai units are extremely quiet in operation. Integral controls on the units enable the water heater to achieve high efficiencies due to advanced burner control and high modulation ranges.
And one small point for history buffs: across town is the Millom Rugby League Football Club - it is the oldest amateur rugby league club in the world, having been founded in 1873.
