Piping Hot Water!
Bought an Aquamax after my old Saxxon hotwater unit decided to die after 12 years of service. Since Saxxon is no longer around to make me a new one, I decided to upgrade. So far, so good. This Aquamax produces hot water at 70 degrees and produces enough to shower our household of 4. The only thing I would watch out for is the warranty which they don't really explain to you until you buy a unit. The system comes with a 1 year installation warranty and a 10 year manufacturers warranty on the life of the unit. In order to keep your warranty ...Read more
valid for the full 10 years though, you have to get the system serviced before the 5 year mark of installation. The cost of the unit was a little more then what I wanted to pay. I ended up buying my Aquamax through Origin energy and paying $2040 for supply and install of the system plus an extra $100 for some extra piping that needed to be installed to accommodate the new system. These systems can be bought MUCH cheaper elsewhere however Origin was the only company offering a payment plan that suited my financial situation. Because of this, I suspect they've tacked on a bit extra to the price.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Excellent
Good value, if not going for solar.If like me the system is inside the house this uses little space.
The size is great for medium sized family-4 to 5. Have had it for almost 2 electricity accounts & kilowatt usage is down from the old smaller (140litre)system. Never has run out of hot water even with extra 2 people visiting.
Nothing really, just hope it lasts for some years.

Hi, just wondering how your running costs have gone since installing this. I have an old unit (125L?) that costs a bomb. Trying to figure out if new models really are cheaper more efficient? Cheers

Hi, has been reasonable energy efficient for a storage system. A lot better insulated than an our older model so once it heats up it holds heat. It is inside a cupboard which I use for air drying any damp clothes. Doesn't give off nearly as much heat a 2 previous systems. Of course electric storage units are not the cheapest hot water. On demand gas is probably best but I don't have gas going past & would need tanks delivered. Keeps up to our demand of 4 adults (2 being in their 20s showering twice a day). Average usage over the year is 600 KWs per quarter. Hope this helps.
