Description
The Rheem® Optima 180L is a mains pressure electric hot water cylinder with a vitreous enamel-lined tank, designed for installation either indoors or outdoors. Suited to households of around 2-3 people in moderate climates (1-2 in colder regions),* it delivers reliable, full-pressure hot water from a trusted name in New Zealand water heating.
Indoor or Outdoor Installation
With a durable Colourbond finish, the Optima can be installed inside the home or outdoors — giving you and your plumber more flexibility when choosing the best location.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
The vitreous enamel lining suits a wide range of New Zealand water qualities, and a sacrificial magnesium anode provides additional corrosion protection in adverse water conditions — helping to extend the life of your cylinder.
Mains Pressure Performance
Delivers full mains pressure hot water to showers, taps and appliances throughout your home, so you can enjoy strong, consistent flow.
Single 3kW Element
A 3.0kW copper screw-in element heats the full 180 litres efficiently, making it a great fit for smaller households, units and apartments.
Energy Efficient & NZ Made
Made in New Zealand and compliant with NZ Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS). High-quality Solstice Green insulation keeps water hot for longer, saving energy and money.
Long-Term Reliability
Backed by a 12-year cylinder replacement warranty† for residential installations, plus 3 years parts & labour.
† The specified cylinder residential warranty period and the commercial warranty period are for VE products manufactured after 1 June 2018. * Household sizing is a guide only, based on 7-minute showers at 42°C mixed temperature and a 10 L/min flow rate. Conditions may vary.
