At Rheem, we care about your safety. Other than a built-in system to automatically monitor and control the temperature and pressure, our storage water heaters also come with a relief valve for added safety.

Because water is heated in a storage tank, heating typically takes a longer time. As heating takes place, pressure in the storage tank will gradually rise. If the temperature gets higher beyond expected and the pressure is not released, it may even cause an explosion.

Unlike instant water heaters where water is heated instantly, a storage water heater pre-heats cold water and stores it in an insulated tank so that an accumulation of hot water can be readily available to be dispensed at a moment’s notice.

Taking a warm shower is one of life’s special little joys, and nothing kills the joy more than an unexpected rush of skin-scalding hot water. On top of enjoyment, safety is also of paramount importance when it comes to water heaters because nobody wants a freak shower accident. Let’s take a look at how Rheem’s storage water heaters are built to make sure that you and your family stay safe during shower time.

If you’ve ever wondered how a temperature and pressure relief valve looks like, it’s that little lever on the top of a storage water heater. This seemingly insignificant lever is what keeps your water heater from turning into a major safety risk. In case you’re having trouble figuring out how a temperature and pressure relief valve looks like, it looks something like this:

This is where a temperature and pressure relief valve comes in. The purpose of the valve is to allow excessive temperature and pressure inside the storage tank to be released safely. Without the valve, your water heater may run the risk of an explosion if the temperature or pressure got higher than what the tank was designed to handle. To put it simply, storage water heaters can be hazardous or even lethal if they do not come with a temperature and pressure relief valve.

The Backflow Preventer Valve acts as a barrier, preventing the reverse flow of wastewater from the public sewer into private drainage systems. This crucial functionality safeguards against potential backflow, ensuring that wastewater and contaminants are effectively contained within the designated public sewer network.
