INSTALLATION
REDUCING HEAT LOSSES
The cold water line to and the hot water line 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 pipe work between the solar storage tank and the solar collectors may be required to be insulated. Refer
to
"Warning: Plumber Be Aware"
on page 30.
SADDLING - PIPE WORK
To prevent damage to the cylinder when attaching pipe clips or saddles to the water heater 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 water heater.
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.
BOOSTER HEATING UNIT
The booster heating unit provides hot water during periods of low solar gain. This can be connected to either
a continuous, or a time of use, or an extended Off-Peak (overnight and day) or an Off-Peak (overnight)
electricity supply. Boosting can be controlled via a timer. Refer to
"Booster Control"
on page 40.
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.
