How do I tell the age of a Jacuzzi water heater from the serial number?
Wednesday, December 19, 2018
Jacuzzi tankless on-demand water heaters are manufactured by Rinnai and use their serial number system, with first letter of the serial number being the year and the second letter the month of manufacture.
A = 2009 or January, B = 2010 or February, C = 2011 or March
D = 2012 or April, E = 2013 or May, F = 2014 or June
G = 2015 or July, H = 2016 or August, J = 2017 or September
K = 2018 or October, L = 2019 or November, M = 2020 or December
So this data plate indicates the water heater was manufactured in March of 2014. To determine the age of another manufacturer/brand of water heater, go to How do I determine the age of my water heater?
