The Rheem 52L HiLine Solar
The Rheem 52L HiLine is a roof-mounted thermosiphon solar hot water system that heats your water directly from the sun. Water circulates naturally through the rooftop collectors during sunny periods and returns to the storage tank — with no pump required — giving you a steady supply of hot water while keeping electricity use low.
Built around a durable stainless steel tank for a long service life, the 52L series comes in 180-litre and 300-litre capacities to suit different household sizes. It's ideal for temperate and tropical Queensland homes in low-frost areas with good quality water.

FAQs
Rheem 52L Solar Hot Water System — FAQs
What is the Rheem 52L Solar Hot Water System?
It's a roof-mounted thermosiphon solar hot water system from Rheem's HiLine range. Water circulates naturally through the rooftop collectors as they heat in the sun and returns to a stainless steel storage tank on the roof — no pump required — giving you a steady supply of hot water while keeping electricity use low.
What sizes does the Rheem 52L come in?
The 52L series comes in 180-litre and 300-litre tank capacities. The right size depends on how many people are in your home and your hot water use — we'll help you choose when we quote your job.
How does a thermosiphon solar system work?
Thermosiphon uses natural circulation: as the sun heats water in the roof collectors, that warm water rises into the tank while cooler water flows down to be heated. Because it doesn't rely on a pump, it's simple and reliable, with fewer parts that can fail.
What happens on cloudy days?
The system includes an electric booster that automatically tops up the water temperature when there hasn't been enough sun, so you always have reliable hot water no matter the weather.
Is the Rheem 52L right for my area?
It's designed for temperate and tropical Australian homes in low-frost areas with good quality water, and it needs a roof with decent sun. Our team will assess your roof, orientation and water before recommending it — we cover Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Bribie Island and Gympie.
