Centre tap of the rinnai will turn off hot water supply only.
Easiest way is to turn off your mains water supply. This will isolate both hot and cold, no need to turn off anything else

Since installing Rinnai RC80i tankless water heater, the performance of the dishwasher has diminished. The dishes aren't getting clean. I suspect the water temperature is not hot enough. The thermostat is...

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you
Drain a tank:
  1. Shut off power at the electrical service panel and post a sign warning others not to turn it on.
  2. Close the cold-water supply valve and open a hot-water faucet somewhere in the house (to speed draining).
  3. Attach a garden hose to the drain valve and run it outside the house.
  4. Open the drain valve and allow all water to drain out.
  5. To refill the tank, close the drain valve tightly and open the cold-water supply valve. Also open a nearby hot-water faucet. When a steady stream of water flows from that faucet, the tank is full and the faucet can be closed.
  6. Once the tank is full, turn the electrical power back on
Test and replace a heating element:
  1. Turn off power at the electrical service panel and post a sign warning others not to turn it on.
  2. Remove the access panel on the electric water heater.
  3. Disconnect one of the element wires and set a multimeter to RX1000 (resistance times 1,000). Touch one probe to an element mounting bolt and the other to each element terminal screw, in turn. If the tester displays anything but infinity ( open circuit), replace the element.
  4. If necessary, set the multimeter to RX1 and touch the probes to the terminal screws. If there is any resistance reading at all ( closed circuit), then the element is good. If not, replace it. Both upper and lower elements are tested in the same manner.
  5. To remove the element, first drain the heater.
  6. Disconnect the remaining element wire. Remove the mounting bolts holding the element in place. Remove the element.
  7. Replace the heating element with one of the same model, shape, and rating. Make sure you also replace any installation gaskets.
Test and replace a high-limit cutoff:
  1. Disconnect power to the heater at the electrical service panel and post a sign warning others not to turn it on.
  2. Remove the upper access panel and push the reset button.
  3. Replace the access panel and turn the power back on. If the water is hot, the reset was the problem. If not, you'll need to turn the power off again and reopen the access panel.
  4. Use a multimeter to test the cutoff terminals for continuity. If faulty, replace with an exact replacement part.

Low flow trough the heater

follow this steps and fix it. God bless you

  6. Once the tank is full, turn the electrical power back on.
Test and replace a relief valve:
  1. Lift the spring lever on the valve to fill a small cup. Check the cup for sediment.
  2. If no water spurts out, or if water continues to drip after the valve is released, replace the valve.
  3. Cut power at the electric panel and post a sign warning others not to turn it on. Close the cold-water supply valve.
  4. Drain a few gallons of water from the tank.
  5. Unscrew and remove the discharge pipe if used.
  6. Loosen the relief valve with a pipe wrench, then remove the valve by hand.
  7. Apply pipe tape to the threads of the replacement valve and screw it into the tank by hand. Tighten it with a pipe wrench. Screw the discharge pipe (if any) into the valve outlet.
  8. Refill the water heater and restore electrical power.

Rinnai 20 heater stopping and starting have changed regulator but still not working properly only started playing up i have been in house 2 years any more suggestions

Single-handle faucet cartridge that leaks can cause tankless not to function. Check for crossover or cross connection:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Crossover.html
Cut losses from owning tankless computer that heats water. Go to Lowes and buy new tank-type gas water heater for $390 and have hot water right quick with less maintenance and own a product that homeowner can repair themselves.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-install-gas-water-heater.html
Otherwise call service technician who is qualified to work on tankless computer.

I have a Rinnai Tankless Water Heater that will turn to cold water 10-15 minutes into a shower. The explanation has been that the water pressure on the hot water has to be so many Gallons per minute, but...

Bad PC board.
Bad sensor.
Don't buy a tankless because the problems can be endless.

Before blaming the tankless however.
Perform the yearly required maintenance on burner
Delime the unit.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Bosch_Descaling-heat-exchanger.pdf

Remove and clean aerators, replace low-flow shower heads with large water-wasting shower heads.

IMPORTANT check all your single-handle faucets for crossover.
Water getting cool after 15 minutes could be bad cartridge on another faucet.

Two Rinnai's in series, large house, using circulater with electric pump connected to 2 gallon electric water heater. Problem is the Rinnai's seem to be firing almost constantly, apparently due to some...

Your circulator provides the draw necessary to fire the heater. You are defeating the purpose of this kind of heater by circulating the water. Add a second heater to fix this engineering fault.

My Rinnai tankless water heater cycles up and down when we turn on the hot water. The water gets hot and then cold, hot and then cold. What is the problem?

You need to first make sure is the tankless who do the “up and down”! . If the problem manifest on more then one faucet then the problem is the unit. Have a thermometer (we use a infrared gun wich we train on Hot water pipe !) and see if actually the unit is the culprit.
If the problem is only on one shower It is possible also to be a “antyscalding valve” If the trigger valve on your shower is being adjusted too low then it trigger a splash of cold water now and then on regulate intervals. Try to adjust the temperature lower at the unit (say 110F ) and see if the problem change. If it does, then the problem is for sure in the faucet. If it does not change , then you have a problem with the water flow sensor . It is simply getting stuck. Bad bearing or even a piece of Teflon tape. I believe you will need a certified technician for that so no issues with your warranty will appear.

No water flow from hot water tap with a rinnai tankless water hea

Its A Possibility The Left Over Water In The Hot Is Frozen. If Your Line Is Exposed Outside Somewhere It Can Easily Freeze Up. Turn On The Hot Water Everywhere In The House And If Accessible Check The Lines To See Where The Warmth Ends. You Can Leave One Off Over Night In Hopes That It Will Eventually Defrost.
