INSTALLATION – SOLAR STORAGE TANK
Circulated Hot Water Flow and Return System – Solar Water Heater
REDUCING HEAT LOSSES
The cold water line to and the tempered water and hot water lines from the water heater must be insulated in
accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4. The insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant
if exposed.
The full length of the solar hot and solar cold pipes between the solar storage tank and the solar collectors
"Warning: Plumber Be Aware"
MUST BE insulated. Refer to on page 37.
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 17 and the
Anode Selection table on page 17). 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 18).
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 or other components are damaged as a result of attaching pipe clips or saddles
to the jacket, any resultant faults will not be covered by the Rheem warranty.
