By utilising the natural thermosiphon principle, it provides efficient hot water without the need for pumps, sensors, or complex electronics.

Simplicity Meets Performance

The Rheem Hiline® works on a simple scientific fact: hot water rises. As the sun heats the water in the solar collectors, it naturally rises into the storage tank, displacing cooler water back into the panels to be heated. This elegant, “passive” design means there are fewer moving parts to maintain, making it one of the most reliable solar hot water systems available.

Conveniently located entirely on your roof, the 52D Series features a proven glass enamel-lined tank and high-performance collectors to ensure your family enjoys steaming hot water while your energy bills stay low.
