INSTALLATION
TANK WATER SUPPLY
If the water heater is supplied with water from a tank supply and a minimum
water supply pressure of 200 kPa at the water heater cannot be achieved, then
a pressure pump system must be installed to allow the heat pump circulator to
operate and avoid air locks in the circuit. Care must be taken to avoid air locks.
The cold water line from the supply tank should be adequately sized and fitted
with a full flow gate valve or ball valve.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
A drain line should be fitted to the heat pump module‟s condensate drain to
carry the discharge clear of the water heater. The drain line can be extended
using 12 mm rigid poly hose or conduit. The pipe work from the condensate
drain should be as short as possible and fall all the way from the water heater
with no restrictions. It should have no more than three right angle bends in it.
The outlet of the drain line must be in such a position that flow out of the pipe
can be easily seen - but arranged so water discharge will not cause damage or
nuisance.
The condensate drain line must not be connected to the relief valves
drain lines but may discharge at the same point.
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 electrical power for operation of the control
systems and the electrically operated components. The removal of the access
cover(s) will expose 240 volt wiring. They must only be removed by a qualified
person.
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 Rheem Service or their nearest
Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.
