REGULAR CARE

MAJOR FIVE YEAR SERVICE

It is recommended a major five year service be conducted on the water heater.

Warning: Servicing of a water heater must only be carried out by a qualified person. Phone Rheem

Service or their nearest Accredited Service Agent.

Note: The five year service and routine replacement of any components, such as the anode and relief

valves, are not included in the Rheem warranty. A charge will be made for this work. Only genuine

replacement parts should be used on this water heater.

The major service includes the following actions:

Replace the temperature pressure relief valve.

Inspect and flush the expansion control valve (if fitted). If required, replace the valve.

Inspect and if required, replace the anode.

If the anode is not replaced, it should be replaced within three years of this service (refer to “Anode

Inspection and Replacement” on page 22).

Check and if necessary adjust the inlet gas pressure.

Check the piezo igniter, gas control and thermocouple.

Check the operation of and clean the pilot light and main burner.

Check the solar control unit for correct operation.

Check the timer and its setting(s).

Flush and bleed the solar collectors.

Clean the collector glass.

Check the insulation on the solar hot and solar cold pipes. If required, insulate exposed pipe work and

repair or replace degraded insulation.

Visually check the unit for any potential problems.

Inspect all connections.

Check the drain line from the safe tray (if one is installed) is not blocked.

Note: If the solar storage tank is drained during this service, then when refilled at the completion of the

service, it will take some time for the water to be heated by solar gain. The „MAN‟ override button on the

timer can be pressed which will lead to the activation of the main burner if faster heating is required.
