ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER 

 WARNING 

This water heater is only intended to be operated by persons who have the experience or the knowledge and 
the capabilities to do so. This water heater is not intended to be operated by persons with reduced physical, 
sensory or mental capabilities i.e. the infirm, or by children. Children should be supervised to ensure they do 
not interfere with the water heater. 
 
This water heater uses 240 V AC power for the electrically operated components. The removal of the side 
cover will expose 240 V wiring. It must only be removed by a qualified person. 
 
Care should be taken not to touch the pipe work connecting the solar storage tank and the solar collectors. 
Very high temperature closed circuit fluid can be generated by the solar collectors and flow through the pipe 
work from the solar collectors to the solar storage tank. 
 
Should the water from the water heater appear blue or if blue closed circuit fluid is noticed around the base 
of the water heater or solar collectors, this indicates a leak of the closed circuit fluid from the heat exchanger 
or  the  solar  collectors.  The  closed  circuit  fluid  is  non-toxic  and  not  hazardous  to  health.  Phone  Rheem 
Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection. 
 

SAFETY 

This water heater is supplied with a thermostat, an over-temperature cut-out, and a combination temperature 
pressure relief valve. These devices must not be tampered with or removed. The water heater must not be 
operated unless each of these devices is fitted and is in working order. 
 
The operation of the over-temperature cut-out on the thermostat indicates a possibly dangerous situation. If 
the  over-temperature  cut-out  operates,  it  must  not  be  reset  and  the  water  heater  must  be  serviced  by  a 
qualified person. 
 
If  the  electrical  conduit  to the  solar storage  tank  is  damaged,  it  must  be  replaced  by  a qualified  person  in 
order to avoid a hazard. Phone Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an 
inspection. 
 

 

Warning:

  For  continued  safety  of  this  water  heater  it  must  be  installed,  operated  and  maintained  in 

accordance with the Owner‟s Guide and Installation Instructions. 
 

The Rheem warranty may not cover faults if relief valves or other safety devices are tampered with or 
if the installation is not in accordance with these instructions. 

 

TEMPERATURE RUN DOWN 

Temperature run  down  is  the  reduction  in  water  temperature  as  the  hotter  water  at  the  top  of  the  storage 
cylinder transfers some of its heat to the cooler water in the lower section of the cylinder. 
 
This effect is often perceived as heat loss, but is actually the redistribution of stored heat more evenly over 
the entire contents of the storage tank. This heat is not lost to the system. 
 
Temperature run down is more noticeable the more hot water is used the night before and particularly if the 
booster  heating  unit  and / or  timer  has  been  left  off  overnight.  If  higher  temperature  water  is  required, 
particularly in the morning, then use of the booster heating unit is necessary to raise the temperature of the 
water in the top section of the cylinder. Refer to 

“Booster Control”

 on page 7.
