Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of the split system design of the Rheem Loline® 511271 Solar Water Heater?
The split system features a ground-level, vitreous enamel-lined cylinder for enhanced durability and corrosion protection. This design simplifies installation and maintenance while optimising performance.
How does the limited frost protection work in the Rheem Loline® system?
Electronically controlled water circulation offers limited frost protection, ensuring effective operation in cooler temperatures and reliable hot water year-round.
What options are available for boosting the Rheem Loline® Solar Water Heater?
Choose between an electric element or a 6-Star continuous flow gas booster (with optional tank mounting kit). These options allow for system customisation to ensure consistent hot water availability.
How does a solar hot water system work?
Roof-mounted solar collectors absorb heat from the sun and transfer it to the water in an insulated storage tank. An electric or gas booster tops up the temperature on cloudy days so you never run out of hot water.
Is there a government rebate for solar hot water systems?
Yes — eligible solar hot water systems qualify for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which reduce the upfront cost. SunCity Hot Water will confirm your eligibility and handle the paperwork.
How long do solar hot water systems last?
A well-maintained solar hot water system can last 15 years or more, with the tank and collector panels covered by manufacturer warranties.
How much do solar hot water systems cost?
Solar hot water systems cost more upfront than electric, but government STC rebates and much lower running costs offset this over time. Call SunCity Hot Water on 1300 728 122 for an all-inclusive quote on the Rheem Loline® 511271 Solar Water Heater.
What size hot water system do I need?
As a guide, 1–2 people suit 125–160L, 3–4 people (a family of four) suit 250–315L, and larger households suit 400L. Continuous-flow gas units are sized by hot water flow rate instead. SunCity will help size the right system for your household.
