*Heaters furnished with standard 240 volt AC, single phase non-simultaneous wiring and 4500 watt heating element.

If heating elements of different wattages than those shown are demanded by zone requirements, they must be specifically requested. To prevent corrosion, proper pH levels in transfer fluid must be maintained. Solaraide models meet all current state requirements for solar storage tanks. The tanks are Rheemglas lined and are designed to operate up to 150 PSI.

In keeping with its policy of continuous progress and product improvement, Rheem reserves the right to make changes without notice.
