Rheem Loline® 250L Vitreous Enamel Solar Ready Hot Water System

Rheem’s electric Solar Ready water heater is designed for your regular and emergency water replacement needs. This electric water heater has solar water connections which are connected when upgraded to a solar water heater. The addition of a unique electronic solar controller and the solar collectors then upgrades the water heater from electric to solar hot water system. This future proofs your investment.

Simple upgrade to solar by installing slimline collectors to the roof and unique smart connect solar controller on the tank. Easy connections to the solar fittings provided.

Enhanced frost protection – recirculating freeze protection utilising an electronically controlled back-up frost element for very frosty weather conditions. Gas boost option available.

  • Suitable for standard or emergency replacement of your old electric water heater
  • Fast, easy like-for-like replacement of an equivalent size electric water heater
  • Enhanced frost protection – recirculating freeze protection utilising an electronically controlled back-up frost element for cold weather conditions
  • Thicker anode for added protection
  • Can be installed up to 600 metres altitude
  • Designed to operate as a single element (3.6 kW) electric water heater
  • Upgrade to solar hot water system by adding solar collectors and solar controller – when you are ready
  • Range of collector options to suit different climate zones. High performance selective surface collectors available in Zones 3 and 4
  • Energy Efficient - may save up to 65% in hot water heating energy consumption as compared to electric water heater
  • Booster – choice of electric element or 6-Star gas boost for back up to provide hot water in any weather conditions
  • Eligible for STCs
  • Developed and manufactured by Rheem Australia
  1. Energy savings are based on Australian Government Approved TRNSYS simulation modelling of the 51M315S/2NPT and 51M315S/2CS07 systems and using a medium load in Zone 3 and apply when replacing an electric water heater.
  2. Any energy and financial savings will vary depending upon type of Rheem solar system installed, orientation and inclination of the solar collectors, type of water heater being replaced, hot water consumption and fuel tariff. Maximum financial savings off your hot water bill are achievable when replacing an electric water heater on continuous tariff.
  3. Electric boost models only.
  4. STC Eligibility criteria applies. The STC calculator for your system can be found on: www.rec-registry.gov.au/rec-registry/app/calculators/swh-stc-calculator
