ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
7
HOW LONG WILL THE WATER HEATER LAST?
Your water
heater is supported by a manufacturer’s warranty (refer to
page 72 ).
There are a number of factors that will affect the length of service the water
heater will provide. These include but are not limited to the water chemistry, the
water pressure, temperature (inlets and outlets) and the water usage pattern.
Precautions
Where damage to property can occur in the event of the water heater leaking,
the water heater must be installed in a safe tray or be suitably bunded.
Construction, installation and draining of a safe tray must comply with AS/NZS
3500.4 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements.
The water heater must
be maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Guide and
Installation Instructions. Refer to
“Regular Care”
on page 12 .
If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is
necessary for your application, or business you should ensure that you have
back up redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure the
continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater were to become
inoperable for any reason. We recommend you seek advice from your plumber
or specifier about your needs and building back up redundancy into your hot
water supply system.
ENVIRONMENT
At the end of the service life of the heat pump water heater and prior to the water
heater being disposed of, a person qualified to work with refrigerants must
recover the refrigerant from within the sealed system. The refrigerant must not
be vented to atmosphere. Phone your nearest Rheem Service Department or
Accredited Service Agent (or Service Centre in NZ) to arrange for an inspection.
