INSTALLATION – SOLAR STORAGE TANK
BOOSTER HEATING UNIT
The booster heating unit is for heating the water at times of low solar energy gain, such as during very cloudy
"Connections – Electrical"
or rainy weather, or during the colder months. Refer to
on page 50 for electrical
connection requirements and control options of the booster heating unit.
If this water heater is installed with an in-series booster, then the electric booster heating unit in the solar
storage tank will not need to be connected to a power supply.
ANODE
The vitreous enamel lined cylinder of the water heater is only covered by the Rheem warranty when the total
dissolved solids (TDS) content in the water is less than 2500 mg/L and when the correct colour coded anode
is used. If an incorrect colour coded anode is used in the water heater, any resultant faults will not be covered
by the Rheem warranty. In addition, the use of an incorrect colour coded anode may shorten the life of the
water heater cylinder.
The correct colour coded anode for the water supply being used must be selected and fitted to the water heater
"Water Supplies"
for the Rheem warranty to apply to the water heater cylinder. Refer to
on page 16 and the
Anode Selection table
on page 16. The black anode is typically fitted as standard.
If an incorrect anode is used, there is also the possibility the anode may become overactive and hydrogen gas
could accumulate in the top of the water heater during long periods of no use. In areas where this is likely to
"Caution"
occur, the installer should instruct the householder on how to dissipate the gas safely. Refer to
on
page 17.
SADDLING - PIPE WORK
To prevent damage to the cylinder when attaching pipe clips or saddles to the solar storage tank jacket, we
recommend the use of self-drilling screws with a maximum length of 13 mm. Should pre-drilling be required,
extreme caution must be observed when penetrating the jacket of the solar storage tank.
Note: If the cylinder is damaged as a result of attaching pipe clips or saddles to the jacket, any resultant
faults will not be covered by the Rheem warranty.
TANK REPLACEMENT
If replacing a tank, the replacement tank must be fitted with a new temperature pressure relief valve and
expansion control valve. These valves are not supplied with the tank.
