Full terms are on the shipping and return policy page.
An electric storage unit has an element, a thermostat and a sacrificial anode. There is no flue, so care is about the valves and the anode that protect the tank.
- Lift the temperature-and-pressure relief (TPR) valve lever every six months and check it reseats without dripping.
- Have the anode checked within the warranty period to keep the tank protected, especially on hard water.
- Keep the unit accessible so the element and thermostat can be serviced if needed.
- Book a service if the water is slow to heat, runs out quickly, or the circuit keeps tripping.

How it works
From first call to hot water back on
The same four steps apply whether you are replacing a failed unit or planning an upgrade.
Tell us what is happening
Call or order online with your suburb and the system you have now. Photos of the unit and its data plate help a great deal.
We scope and quote
We confirm the model, the installation and any extras the site needs, then come back to you before anything is booked.
We supply and install
We bring the unit, disconnect the old system, install and commission the new one, and check the valves are working as they should.
We clear the site
The old unit is taken away where you have asked us to, the work is tested in front of you, and you get the paperwork and warranty details.

Common questions
Rheem 50L questions
Rheem electric storage units carry a manufacturer's warranty — commonly up to 7–10 years on the cylinder, with shorter terms on the element, parts and labour. We confirm the exact warranty for this model in writing before you order, and we handle any warranty claim for a system we installed.
This is a point-of-use unit — sized for a single area such as a kitchen, laundry, bar or granny flat where hot water is needed close to the tap, not to run a whole family's bathrooms.
We supply and install as one job. Installation is included on every system here, so the electrical and valve work is done to code by a licensed team. If you have your own electrician and want supply only, ask us and we will sort that out.
Some models come as a plug-in (GPO) unit and others hard-wire to a circuit, depending on the size and element. Tell us what's at the location and we'll confirm which applies and whether the point is already there.
This unit is for internal use only — typically under a bench or in a cupboard. If the only practical position is outside, we will confirm an external-rated model instead.
A tempering valve is mandatory on storage type systems, so it applies here. The rest depend on the site: removal of the old unit, an isolation valve, or a pressure limiting valve where mains pressure runs high. We confirm the final list with you before any work is booked.

Questions about this Rheem system?
Tell us where the unit would go and what it needs to serve, and we will confirm whether this size suits it and what the installation involves before you order. If your hot water is out right now, calling is faster.
A straight answer on fit
We will say if a different system suits your property better, rather than selling you this one.
