HIGH ELECTRICITY BILLS
With the installation of your new solar hot water system, maximum electrical energy
savings can be achieved with careful planning of hot water usage. Should you at
any time, feel your electricity account is too high, we suggest you check the
following points:
Is the relief valve running excessively?
(Refer to “Temperature and Pressure
Relief Valve Running” on page 16).
Is one outlet (especially the shower)
using more hot water than you think?
(Refer to “Not Enough Hot Water” on
page 14).
Is there a leaking hot water pipe,
dripping hot water tap, etc? Even a
small leak will waste a surprising
quantity of hot water and energy.
Replace faulty tap washers, and have
your plumber rectify any leaking pipe
work.
Are you using the booster heating unit properly? (Refer to “Manual On/Off
Switch” on page 12 and “One Shot Control Switch” on page 13)
Consider recent changes to your hot water usage pattern and check if there
has been any increase in tariffs since your previous account.
ELECTRICITY TARIFFS
The electricity tariff to which your solar water heater is connected will play an
important role in the overall effectiveness of the system. It is important you are
aware of this tariff to enable you to take full advantage of the boosting period,
i.e. Domestic/Continuous, Off-Peak, Extended Off-Peak. For types of tariffs (refer to
“How Your Water Heater Works” on page 12).
COLLECTOR GLASS
Warranty
DOES NOT
cover breakage of solar collector glass. Check your
household insurance policy covers collector glass breakage.
Warning:
Collector
glass should not be replaced whilst the solar collector is on the roof. The solar
collector must be disconnected and brought to ground level before replacing the
collector glass. Should the glass on a solar collector require replacement, contact
your nearest Rheem Service Office or Accredited Service Agent.
IF YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FOREGOING AND STILL BELIEVE YOU
NEED ASSISTANCE, CALL YOUR NEAREST RHEEM SERVICE OFFICE OR
ACCREDITED SERVICE AGENT.
