This water heater is an indirect solar hot water system with a heat exchanger in the solar storage tank.

Closed circuit water heater. Provides ample amount of hot water for households with 3 to 5 people. The typical circuit for a water heater is a 10 2 nm with ground copper cable 3 wires in all including the ground wire. The rheem performance 50 gal. To check the switch turn off the power to the water heater disconnect the wires on the air pressure switch and check for electrical continuity.

The valves that are usually found in the closed systems are the check valve pressure reducing valve mixing valve backflow preventer and other. Plus it includes a 1 year in home labor warranty in addition to a 6 year tank and parts warranty. Determine the current rating of water heater. All water heaters waste heat energy even when the burner is off and the unit is sitting idle between heating cycles.

If freeze protection is an issue than a closed system with anti freeze is a good idea. Electric water heater the rheem performance 50 gal. Due to various injuries and accidents related to water heaters over the last ten years most cities and counties have adopted either the 2006 2009 or 2012 uniform plumbing code or in the case of california the california plumbing code. A typical 240 volt electric water heater circuit.

The down side is two heat sources. The heat exchanger is filled with closed circuit fluid and is connected to the solar collectors forming a closed circuit. Check for twisted damaged or obstructed air pressure switch tubing. Electric water heater takes up less space than competing models making it the perfect for replacement of an existing water heater.

The national electrical code requires the circuit breaker to be able to withstand up to 125 per cent than the circuit it controls.

This discrepancy is supposed to allow the water heater to work continuously for three to four hours without any break. If the switch contacts show continuity or a closed circuit replace the air pressure switch. The closed circuit fluid is propylene glycol concentrate mixed with water.
