Frequently Asked Questions - TP180REL HAIER

How do I install the Haier TP180REL water heater?

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. Ensure the heater is placed on a solid floor, connected to a 240V supply with proper grounding, and fitted with a pressure relief valve as per local codes.

What is the recommended temperature setting?

For optimal balance of energy efficiency and safety, set the thermostat to 60°C (140°F). This reduces legionella bacteria growth while minimizing heat loss.

How often should I descale the tank?

Descaling is recommended every 12 months in areas with hard water. Use a descaling solution and follow the manual's instructions. Regular descaling extends the heating element lifespan.

How do I replace the anode rod?

The sacrificial anode rod should be checked annually and replaced if more than 70% corroded. Turn off power and water, drain the tank, remove the old rod, and install a new one with Teflon tape.

Why is my water heater making a rumbling noise?

Rumbling often indicates sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. Flush the tank to remove sediment. If noise persists, the heating element may need cleaning or replacement.

How do I reset the thermostat?

Locate the reset button on the thermostat (usually under a cover panel). Press it firmly. If it trips again, there may be a fault. Contact a professional.

What is the purpose of the pressure relief valve?

The pressure relief valve releases excess pressure to prevent tank explosion. Test it annually by lifting the lever; water should flow freely. If not, replace it immediately.

How can I save energy with this heater?

Use the eco mode if available, lower the thermostat to 55°C, insulate hot water pipes, and reduce heat loss by installing a timer to heat only during off-peak hours.

Can I install the TP180REL outdoors?

This model is designed for indoor installation only. Outdoor use may void the warranty and cause damage due to weather exposure. Install in a dry, frost-free location.

What should I do if there is no hot water?

First, check the circuit breaker and reset if tripped. Verify the thermostat setting and ensure the power is on. If still no hot water, the heating element may be faulty and needs testing/replacement.

3. The circulation pipe shall be installed in a nice and neat way.
4. If insulation is required, the full length of the solar hot and solar cold pipes MUST BE insulated. The insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant.

Filling the Heat Exchange Jacket(For Indirect System)

1. Remove the 0.3MPa safety valve from the water tank. This is the fill level for the heat transfer fluid and will allow air to escape during filling.
2. With the aid of a funnel and hose connected to the open service valve, pour water into the funnel until water flows from the vent of the 0.3MPa safety valve.
3. Close the service valve tap and assembly the 0.3MPa safety valve.
4. Check for leaks at all connections.
5. If no leaks are evident, open the service valve tap, remove the 0.3MPa safety valve and add in the supplied heat transfer fluid through the funnel. Water will be displaced as the heat transfer fluid is added. Add a further 500ml of water to flush the heat transfer fluid through the hose and into the collector.
6. Close the service valve tap, refit the 0.3MPa safety valve and ensure no leaks are present, then move the hose.
7. The heat transfer fluid lever is to be checked every three(3) years by a competent technician.

Installation Introduction

Note:

1. The heat transfer fluid is a food grade propylene glycol and is not toxic. However, care must be taken when handling not to spill or accidentally consume.
2. It is normal that some heat transfer fluid may flow out from the safety valve as the heat transfer fluid is expanded due to the high solar energy collected.
3. The safety valve should be left open to the atmosphere and its outlet should not be blocked. The solar storage tank be filled with water before charging the heat transfer fluid with the closed circuit fluid.
4. The service valve, hose and the funnel are not supplied.

■ Connection of Valves and Pipe Fittings

Please refer to the following sketch map to connect the valves and pipe fittings.

1. Install the temperature and pressure valve(T/P valve) to the T/P valve joint of the water tank.

Note:

A T/P valve shall be installed to the tank. It is normal that some water drops may flow out from the pressure relief hole as the water is expanded with heat while the water temperature in the heater gets higher.

Continuous leakage of water from the valve and its drain line may indicate a problem with the water heater. Failure to operate the T/P valve easing gear at least once every six months may result in the water heater exploding. The T/P valve should be replaced at intervals not exceeding 5 years, or more frequently in areas where there is a high incidence of water deposits.

1. Install the cold water line, non-return valve and the stop valve to the cold water inlet of the tank.
