ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

MODEL TYPE

Congratulations for choosing a Rheem
Loline™ water heater is designed for the solar collectors to be roof mounted
and the solar storage tank to be installed at ground level. The solar storage
tank is suitable for outdoor installation only and can be installed with Rheem
NPT 200 solar collectors. The system is not suitable for installation above
400 metres altitude.
The system when installed in areas subject to freeze conditions must be
installed with the solar hot and solar cold pipes fully insulated with closed cell
polymer insulation (minimum thickness 13 mm) to offer protection against
freeze damage. Freeze conditions occur below 6°C. The system has NO
WARRANTY for freeze damage when installed above 400 metres altitude or if
the solar hot and solar cold pipes are uninsulated (refer to
Exclusions" on page 59 and to

HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?

The solar control unit will circulate
water through the solar collectors until
a temperature of approximately 75°C is
reached. During periods of low solar
energy gain, the water temperature can
be boosted by the thermostatically
controlled gas burner. The boosting is
controlled by both the timer unit and the
gas control thermostat.
The water heater features a user
adjustable thermostat, which allows you
to personally choose the most suitable
boosting temperature for your hot water
needs. Refer
