HOW DO I KNOW IF THE WATER HEATER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY? 
Installation requirements are shown on pages 15 to 21. The water heater must 
be installed by an authorised person and the installation must comply with 
National Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS/NZS 3000 and all local codes and 
regulatory authority requirements. In New Zealand the installation must 
conform with the New Zealand Building Code. 
 
DOES THE WATER QUALITY AFFECT THE WATER HEATER? 
The water heater is suitable for most public water supplies, however some 
water qualities may have detrimental effects on the cylinder and fittings. If you 
are in a known harsh water area 

described on page 

 
HOW LONG WILL THE WATER HEATER LAST? 
There are a number of factors that will affect the length of service the water 
heater will provide. These include the water quality, the water pressure, the 
water temperature (inlet and outlet) and the water usage pattern. However, 
your Rheem water heater is supported by a comprehensive warranty 

 
ANODE PROTECTION 
The anode(s) installed in your water heater will slowly dissipate whilst 
protecting the cylinder. The life of the water heater cylinder may be extended 
by arranging for an authorised person to inspect the anode(s) and replace if 
required. 
 
The suggested time after installation when the anode(s) should be inspected is: 
 
Rheemglas 8 

years 

RheemPlus 8 

years 

Optima 10 

years 

 
For softened water supplies or in areas of poor water quality, it is 
recommended the anode(s) be inspected 3 years earlier than shown (refer to 

 on page 33).
