HIGH GAS BILLS
With the installation of your new solar hot water system, maximum gas energy
savings can be achieved with careful planning of hot water usage. Should you
at any time, feel your gas account is too high, we suggest you check the
following points:
• Is the relief valve running
excessively? (Refer to
“Temperature Pressure Relief
Valve Running” on page 23).
• Is one outlet (especially the
shower) using more hot water than
you think? (Refer to “Not Enough
Hot Water” on page 21).
• Is there a leaking hot water pipe,
dripping hot water tap, etc? Even a
small leak will waste a surprising
quantity of hot water and gas.
Replace faulty tap washers and
have your plumber rectify any
leaking pipe work.
• Are you using the gas boosting properly? (Refer to “Timer Operation” on
page 16).
• Consider recent changes to your hot water usage pattern and check if there
has been any increase in tariffs since your previous account.
IF YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FOREGOING AND STILL BELIEVE YOU
NEED ASSISTANCE, CALL YOUR NEAREST RHEEM SERVICE
DEPARTMENT OR ACCREDITED SERVICE AGENT.
