Rheem Water Heater - Manual (Page 4)

ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
MODEL TYPE
Congratulations for choosing a Rheem
® water heater. Your Rheem solar
Premier Loline water heater is designed for the solar collectors to be roof
mounted and the solar storage tank to be installed at ground or floor level. The
solar storage tank is suitable for installation either outdoor or indoor and with
either Rheem S 200 or T 200 solar collectors. The system is suitable for
installation in areas subject to frost or freeze conditions. Freeze conditions
occur below 6
°C.
HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?
The solar control unit will circulate the
closed circuit fluid through the solar
collectors until a temperature of
approximately 75
°C is reached in the
solar storage tank.

During periods of low solar energy gain,
the water temperature can be boosted
by the thermostatically controlled electric
booster heating unit. This may be
operated manually or automatically
depending on how it is wired.

To meet the requirements of the
National Plumbing Standard the
temperature of the stored water must
not be below 60

Rheem recommends the thermostat is
set at 60°C to maximise solar
contribution.
HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY
This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding.
Check the water temperature before use, such as when entering a shower or
filling a bath or basin, to ensure it is suitable for the application and will not
cause scald injury.
We recommend and it may also be required by regulations that an approved
temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water pipe work to the
bathroom and ensuite when this water heater is installed. This will keep the
water temperature below 50
°C at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of scald
injury will be reduced and still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry.
