The Rheem Premier Hiline 52H180 provides an advanced and eco-friendly hot water solution for smaller Australian families. Rheem designed this 52H180 model specifically for cooler climates and frost-prone regions. Specifically, it features a 180-litre stainless steel storage tank mounted directly on your roof. This clever design frees up valuable ground space around your property. The Rheem Premier Hiline 52H180 uses a specialized heat exchange system to prevent freezing. It circulates a heat-transfer fluid through the collectors instead of potable water. Consequently, the system remains safe from damage even when temperatures drop below freezing at night.
