WATER NOT HOT ENOUGH
You may find that due to heavy hot water usage or low solar energy gain the water temperature may be
lower than normally expected. Ensure the booster is being used as advised. If a timer is installed, you will
need to carefully plan your use of the booster heating unit to boost the water temperature on such occasions.
Refer to
“Booster Control” on page 7.
A lower water temperature may also be noticed in the morning when the booster heating unit has not been
energised overnight. This in particular may be experienced during periods of low solar energy gain and can
be caused by the transfer of heat energy overnight to the cold water in the lower portion of the storage tank,
or if there has been heavy hot water usage the previous night.
TEMPERATURE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE RUNNING
Normal Operation
It is normal and desirable this valve allows a small quantity of
water to escape during the heating cycle. However, if it
discharges more than a bucket full of water in 24 hours,
there may be another problem.
Continuous dribble
Try gently raising the easing lever on the relief valve for a
few seconds (refer to
“Temperature Pressure Relief Valve”
on page 11). This may dislodge a small particle of foreign
matter and clear the fault. Release the lever gently.
Steady flows for long period (often at night)
This may indicate the mains water pressure sometimes rises
above the designed pressure of the water heater. Ask your
installing plumber to fit a pressure limiting valve.
Warning: Never replace the relief valve with one of a higher pressure rating.
Heavy flows of hot water until the water heater is cold - then stops until water reheats
The water heater must be switched off at the isolating switch or switchboard. Phone Rheem Service or
their nearest Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.
EXPANSION CONTROL VALVE RUNNING
If an expansion control valve is fitted in the cold water line to the water heater (refer to page 30 ) it may
discharge a small quantity of water instead of the temperature pressure relief valve on the water heater. The
benefit is that energy is conserved as the discharged water is cooler.
COLLECTOR GLASS
The Rheem warranty DOES NOT cover breakage of solar collector glass. Check your household insurance
policy covers collector glass breakage.
Warning: No attempt should be made to remove or replace broken collector glass.
The collector glass is not offered as a replacement part. Should the solar collector require replacement,
contact Rheem Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent.
