You'll get the best advice on what will work in your situation - based on how many people are using hot water in your home, what kind of tapware you're using and the kind of performance you expect from your hot water system.
Size makes the Difference
Rheem offers such a wide variety of Water Heaters, it's important to choose the right one for your needs.
Answer these simple questions then consult your nearest Hot Water Specialist about the most appropriate system for your home and family needs.
- How many people in your household?
- Do they prefer baths or showers? A bath may use twice as much water as an average shower.
- Do you have or are you using a spa bath? These use generous amounts of hot water and a mains pressure water heater is recommended to ensure rapid filling.
- Are there teenagers in your household? If there are you may need to install a larger model. Remember small children grow into teenagers.
- Is your household likely to grow? More people need more hot water.
- Is your dishwasher or washing machine connected to the hot water? Add one extra person for each appliance if this is the case.
Remember, no one ever complains about having too much hot water!

Vulcan Freeloader is made to last. The exterior cabinet is made of BHP steel, coated in beige enamel with jade trim. The storage cylinder is made of heavy gague steel with a thick coat of bonded ceramic and a single anode for electrolytic protection.
Freeloader Five Year Warranty
The Freeloader range is backed by a 5 year warranty on the storage cylinder and has a 12 month warranty on all parts and labour.
Vulcan Technology
Freeloader's unique jet tube burner and up/down heat exchanger use less gas to heat more water. The balanced flue, thicker fibreglass insulation and large heat exchanger all help to increase Freeloader's ability to deliver more hot water for less money.
Installation made easy
The Freeloader is designed to be easily and economically installed outside. Its smooth base allows for installations on a concrete block by an exterior wall or mounted into a wall cavity in the case of new home construction. The low level balanced flue outlet allows greater flexibility in positioning the unit, providing immediate clearance from eaves, overhangs and high windows. The cold water connection point has been moved to the side of the unit to make installation easier.
