The Rheem Premier Loline 160L provides a high-performance and eco-friendly hot water solution for Australian families. Rheem designed this 590160 model specifically for regions that experience freezing temperatures and harsh weather. Specifically, it features a ground-mounted 160-litre storage tank paired with efficient roof-mounted solar collectors. This split-system design keeps the heavy tank at ground level for easier installation. The Rheem Premier Loline 160L uses patented Drain-Back technology to provide total frost protection. This system removes the heat exchange fluid from the collectors when solar gain is low. Consequently, the unit prevents freezing and overheating during extreme weather cycles.
