Common Rheem Solar Faults We Repair
Rheem solar systems are robust, but certain components require maintenance or replacement over time.
No Hot Water or Only Lukewarm Water
Cold or barely warm showers, or hot water runs out very quickly.
Common Causes:
- Faulty booster thermostat or element
- Failed circulation pump (on split Loline/Premier Loline)
- Airlocks in the solar loop
- Sensor faults or controller issues
- Incorrect tariff or timer settings
Our Expert Fix:
- Test element, thermostat and electrical supply
- Check pump operation, flow rates and solar loop temperature difference
- Bleed air from pipework and restore circulation
- Replace failed sensors or repair controller wiring
- Reconfigure timers/boosting so you have hot water in the mornings and evenings
Rheem Solar System Leaking (Roof or Ground Level)
Water on the roof around panels, rust stains down the wall, or puddles under the tank.
Common Causes:
- Corroded storage tank
- Cracked or split collectors
- Perished roof fittings or unions
- Poor or ageing installation joints
Our Expert Fix:
- Pressure-test the system to find the exact leak point
- Repair or replace fittings, unions and valves where viable
- Replace damaged collectors or sections of copper pipe
- If the tank is structurally failing, we’ll give options for replacement
PTR Valve Constantly Dripping
Continuous or heavy water flow from PTR drain line, or hissing/steaming near the valve.
Common Causes:
- Excess pressure inside the tank
- Faulty or worn PTR valve
- Mains pressure too high
- Overheating due to boosting or solar gain
Our Expert Fix:
- Test system pressure and temperature
- Replace the PTR valve with a compliant new valve
- Install or check pressure limiting valves where needed
- Adjust controls to stop the system overheating
Pump Not Running / Running Constantly
Cold water despite sunny days, circulation pump silent when it should be on, or pump humming/running continuously.
Common Causes:
- Burnt-out pump motor
- Failed relay or PCB in controller
- Faulty temperature sensor (incorrect readings)
- Airlock causing the pump to stall
Our Expert Fix:
- Check pump power and amperage draw
- Test controller output and sensor readings
- Replace faulty pumps, relays or sensors
- Bleed lines and restore correct flow
Booster Not Working (Electric or Gas)
Hot water okay on sunny days, cold after cloudy weather. Water only gets lukewarm at night.
Common Causes:
- Failed element or thermostat
- Tripped breaker or faulty isolator
- Tariff/timer misconfiguration
- On gas-boost: ignition or gas supply issues
Our Expert Fix:
- Test and replace elements, thermostats or fuses
- Check wiring, isolators and circuits
- Reconfigure boosting times to match your household’s usage
- For gas boosters, we repair or coordinate with licensed gasfitters as required
Error Codes, Flashing Lights or Controller Faults
Modern Rheem systems may show error codes or status lights when there’s a sensor, temperature or system fault.
Common Causes:
- Sensor failure
- Temperature fault
- System fault
- PCB connection issues
Our Expert Fix:
- Read and interpret the error codes
- Test thermistors, sensors and PCB connections
- Replace failed components with genuine parts
- Reset system and verify correct operation under load
System Noisy, “Boiling” or Overheating
Gurgling or “kettling” noises from roof panels, or steam at vent points on very hot days.
Common Causes:
- Air in solar lines
- Stagnation/overheating in collectors
- Faulty valves or circulation issues
Our Expert Fix:
- Bleed trapped air
- Verify circulation and adjust settings
- Replace non-return or tempering valves as needed
- Check that collectors and tank are correctly matched for your site
