You may also find that due to heavy hot water usage the water temperature
may be lower than normally expected, due to insufficient heating time being
allowed. You will need to carefully plan your use of the hot water on such
occasions.

WATER TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
A RheemPlus water heater is fitted with a temperature limiting valve set so the
water temperature from the fixtures used primarily for personal hygiene does not
exceed 50°C. If water is being delivered from a fixture used primarily for personal
hygiene at a temperature exceeding 50°C, phone Rheem Service or their nearest
Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection. Care must be taken by all
householders when using hot water until the valve is serviced or replaced.
WATER HEATER APPEARS TO BE LEAKING
When the water heater is first lit, or after
a
large
usage
condensation may form on the burner
and grille at the front of the water
heater. This is quite normal, especially
in winter months and will dry off as the
water is heated.
The plastic drain near the bottom left-
hand side of the water heater will drip
water during the heating cycle. It is
possible for several litres a day of
condensation to discharge from the
drain especially in cool conditions. This
water is not from the mains supply but
is condensation from the atmosphere
caused by the efficient operation of the
water heater.
Note: During the heating cycle it is not unusual to see water vapour clouds
steaming from the flue terminal. This is normal operation of the water heater.
