Maintenence?
On a tankless, surely this is a joke. Rinnai "recommends" flushing with vinegar yearly, however it's not required and they warranty without. Even if you do, it takes 15 minutes and costs a gal of vinegar. Clean the inlet screen? Takes 2 seconds and is only necessary if it's completely filled with crap from the water lines. I know of many Rinnai's that are 15-20 years old, never had maintenence and function flawlessly. Hell the one at my dads house is over 15 years old and the vent is smashed to shit from ice dams falling on it, still works fine. It's never had any work done on it ever.
