The Rheem Hiline 52D300 Solar provides a powerful and eco-friendly hot water solution for Australian families. Rheem designed this 52D300 model specifically for warmer climates and areas with good water chemistry. Specifically, it features a 300-litre storage tank mounted directly on your roof with the solar collectors. This clever design frees up valuable space at ground level around your home. The Rheem Hiline 52D300 Solar uses natural thermosiphon principles to heat your water efficiently. Hot water rises into the tank while cooler water flows down into the collectors. Consequently, this system operates reliably without the need for complex pumps or electronic controllers.
