The Reclaim 160L Glass-Lined Heat Pump Hot Water System (REHP-CO2-160GL) combines a separate air-source heat pump, 163-litre glass-lined storage tank and intelligent controller.
Its split-system design provides flexible equipment placement, while natural CO₂ refrigerant, quiet operation and solar PV-compatible controls support energy-efficient hot water for suitable Australian homes.
The heat pump uses carbon dioxide as its refrigerant. Reclaim specifies a global warming potential rating of 1 for the CO₂ refrigerant used by the system.
The split heat pump returns heated water to the top of the storage tank, helping create a usable supply of hot water as the tank reheats.
A manufacturer-specified operating sound level of 37dB supports residential installation when the heat pump is positioned appropriately.
The glass-lined tank measures 528mm in diameter, making it a compact option where available installation width is limited.
The Reclaim split system uses its outdoor heat pump unit to collect heat energy from the surrounding air. That energy is transferred into the water before the heated water is circulated to the separate storage tank.
This process uses electricity to move and concentrate available heat rather than relying on a conventional electric-resistance element as the primary heat source. Reclaim specifies that the system can produce water at approximately 63°C without requiring an electrical backup element.
Actual energy use and recovery performance depend on ambient temperature, incoming water temperature, controller settings, installation conditions and household hot water demand.

Specifications are based on the supplied Reclaim Energy documentation. Heat pump and controller specifications can vary between system generations and configurations. Confirm the exact supplied heat pump, controller and current specifications before installation.
The compatible Reclaim controller coordinates operation between the heat pump and tank temperature sensor. It provides multiple timer and temperature options to help match water heating with household routines, electricity tariffs and available solar generation.
When the system is supplied with the compatible Wi-Fi controller, supported monitoring and control functions can also be accessed through the Reclaim Energy app.
Allows temperature-controlled operation throughout the day so the system can respond when the tank temperature reaches its programmed start point.
Preset overnight operating periods can help coordinate heating with an appropriate off-peak or time-of-use electricity plan.
A preset daytime heating window can help households schedule water heating during typical solar-generation hours.
The Boost function temporarily enables a heating cycle when additional hot water recovery is required, subject to the controller’s programmed limits.
The Reclaim controller includes operating schedules designed to support homes with solar PV. A daytime timer can be used to run the heat pump during selected solar-generation hours.
Compatible controller configurations can also receive a signal from a supported solar inverter, home energy management system or dry-contact device. This signal can activate a controlled heating or one-shot Boost cycle.
Solar integration depends on the controller supplied, compatible external equipment, correct wiring and system programming. The system does not automatically detect unused solar generation unless the appropriate control arrangement is installed.
Manufacturer documentation specifies operation within conditions from -10°C to 43°C, subject to correct installation and operating requirements.
The separate tank and heat pump allow more flexibility when planning equipment positions around the property.
The tank can be installed indoors or outdoors, with up to 10m horizontal or 5m vertical separation from the heat pump where installation requirements are satisfied.
The 163-litre tank uses a glass-lined construction and an 850kPa pressure-temperature relief valve specification.
Reclaim’s current residential warranty schedule provides up to 10 years parts coverage for qualifying Reclaim glass-lined tanks.
The current residential warranty schedule provides up to five years labour coverage for the qualifying glass-lined tank.
Heat pump and controller warranty periods depend on the exact models supplied. Current Wi-Fi configurations may include longer coverage than earlier non-Wi-Fi systems.
Reclaim Energy provides Australian product support. Keep the purchase invoice, installation records and system serial numbers for warranty enquiries.
Warranty coverage is subject to Reclaim Energy’s current warranty terms, exact system model, installation date, water quality, correct system sizing, installation requirements and other conditions. Confirm the warranty schedule for the supplied heat pump and controller before purchase.

The REHP-CO2-160GL is a 160L-class system. Its glass-lined RE160AGLH storage tank has a manufacturer-specified total physical volume of 163 litres.
Pricing depends on the heat pump and controller configuration, installation location, existing hot water system, plumbing, electrical work, access and any applicable incentives. Request a property-specific quote from GoGetaHeatPump.
Suitability depends on the number of occupants, shower habits, daily hot water demand, climate and preferred heating schedule. A site and usage assessment should confirm whether the 163-litre tank is appropriately sized.
Yes. The heat pump and glass-lined storage tank are separate components connected by insulated water pipework and controlled by an external Reclaim controller.
The system uses carbon dioxide, commonly known as CO₂, as its refrigerant. Reclaim specifies a global warming potential rating of 1 for this refrigerant.
The manufacturer specifies an operating sound level of approximately 37dB. Actual sound experienced at the property depends on the installation position, distance and surrounding surfaces.
Yes. The controller includes daytime scheduling for solar PV use, and compatible configurations can accept signals from supported solar inverters or home energy management equipment. Correct wiring and programming are required.
Wi-Fi control depends on the controller and heat pump configuration supplied. Compatible Wi-Fi systems support app-based monitoring and control through the Reclaim Energy app.
The RE160AGLH tank is approximately 528mm in diameter and 1317mm high. The empty tank weighs approximately 58kg.
The manufacturer’s tank specification allows indoor or outdoor tank installation. The separate heat pump requires an appropriate outdoor location with suitable airflow, drainage and servicing access.
The supplied tank specifications state a maximum separation of 10m horizontally or 5m vertically. Final pipe routing must comply with the manufacturer’s installation requirements.
It may be suitable for replacing an existing electric or gas system, subject to correct sizing and a site assessment covering tank space, heat pump placement, plumbing, electrical supply and installation access.
Reclaim’s current residential warranty schedule provides up to 10 years parts coverage and five years labour coverage for qualifying glass-lined tanks. Heat pump and controller coverage depends on the exact component models supplied. Warranty terms and conditions apply.
The system may qualify for available incentives depending on the exact approved model, installation address, existing hot water system and current program requirements. Eligibility and incentive values must be confirmed before installation.
