ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER 
 
MODEL TYPE 
Congratulations for choosing a Rheem electric water heater and a Rheem solar 
conversion kit. The Rheem solar conversion kit converts your Rheem electric water 
heater into a Rheem solar Loline water heater. Your Rheem solar 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 either 
outdoor or indoor installation. The system is suitable for installation, and offers 
protection against freeze damage, in areas up to 800 metres altitude. The system is 
not covered for freeze damage above 800 metres altitude (refer to “Warranty” on 
page 40). 
 
The model you have chosen will be either a Rheemglas or an Optima model. The 
Optima model has a temperature adjusting knob on the lower front of the water 
heater. Both the Rheemglas and Optima models are available with either a single 
element or with twin elements (refer to “Single Element Models” on page 11 and 
“Twin Element Models” on page 11). 
 
 
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 electric booster heating unit. 
This may be operated manually or 
automatically depending on how it is 
wired. Refer to pages 12 and 13 or check 
with your electrician. 
 
The Optima model features a user 
adjustable thermostat, which allows you to 
choose the most suitable boost 
temperature for your hot water needs. The 
Rheemglas model features a 
tradesperson adjustable thermostat. This 
requires a licensed tradesperson to make 
any temperature adjustments. The 
temperature is adjustable within the range 
shown in the diagram opposite.

For reasons of safety and economy we advise you adjust the thermostat to the 
lowest setting which meets your needs, especially if there are young children or 
elderly people in the home.
