Screwed again!
My Dux Radiant 250L, has begun leaking badly just over 5 years after installation. It's installed in a holiday home and has been quietly leaking like a sieve for quite sometime apparently, causing the heater to run continuously. So I now have the triple hit of a new HW service required plus larger water and electricity bills, not even sure for how long. It's only a couple of months out of warranty!!! Replacement cost including installation, over $4000. Thankyou very much. Yes Dux Sux. :(

Update on my situation. After reviewing here, Dux contacted me. I gave them the information and they were very prompt in following up. Because the unit is just out of warranty they have offered to rep... Read more
lace it, so I only need to pay for the installation. I am very impressed with their customer service. Thankyou Dux, very much appreciated. Still not sure about the product, with it failing after such a short life but at least they have accepted some responsibility, which is more than I expected would happen.Next update 5 September 2017. The new unit failed causing a $900 electricity bill. The failed part was replaced under warranty but I still had to pay for the electricity!!!!

Dux Airoheat Always Going Cold And Not Very Cost Effective
I have a 250 Ltr unit installed which has never performed. It consistently gets cold by the third shower and sometimes randomly for no reason. It seems also expensive to run even though it is touted as efficient. Annual running cost is in vicinity of $800 which for only 2 people doesn't seem to add up. Only response I have had from Dux is to get a technician look at it, but nothing found. I am now looking at other options as am over trying to solve. Dux will not be on my next shopping list.

Dux Products sucks
Within 7 years I have spent $960 for the repair of the water heater for a defective "Logic". The company refuses to comply with the competition and consumers guarantee. I cannot wait to get rid of that product which is of unacceptable quality and take them to court. I would not recommend this product to anyone who thinks that buying "local" is supporting our manufacturers.

DON`T. You will be on 1st name terms with the repairman
We are now on our 2nd system in under 4 years and the current one has failed again. The 1st one froze and we had I think 2 service calls before it rusted out all within 2 years. Replaced with a new one manufactured in Nov 2013. It to froze and required a service call now it has frozen again July 2015. Dux plumbers stated parts had failed and this necessitated us outlaying $550+ to have it repaired. All on a system that is only 20 months' old from manufacture.
Warranty. would you believe Dux`s comment our warranty only covers from the f...Read more
irst purchase date basically meaning there is now warranty on the replacement unit. Dux should be aware that purchaser's tell one person about a good item but at least ten when you are sold a lemon If Dux would like to comment on this review the serial number of the unit is 13112250029H1 comment
I must now add a further comment that through some negotiating Dux has agreed to reimburse us the repair costs. however they are not anywhere close to being as efficient as they are made out to be

Ripped off. Poor quality and design
After just 2.5yrs in our brand new home our Dux hot water systems "hot logic" controller has partially died. The external fan motor gets hot but will not start. I have to manually "flick" the fan to get it to run otherwise no hot water. Surprise surprise. .... Dux tell me it's not covered under warranty. Replacement part will cost over $300.... & all that has failed is a capacitor worth a few $'s. Previous models had the capacitor mounted externally - cheap fix! Now I'm expected to pay premium $ to repair. I am getting quotes to replace the hot water system with other reliable brands. Sad to see a once quality company drop their game to this level.

never never buy dux
After having the unit replaced 4 times, again I have no hot water. I bought this Australian
product when they first came out for thousands of dollars and have had nothing but problems and shocking customer service since. All I want is a hot water device that will last more than a few years. Why is it with all this new technology nothing lasts like it used to. Australian manufacturers wonder why their businesses are going broke!!

Noisy
Recently had a leaking unit replaced under warranty. New unit had a faulty fan. Dux replaced the newly installed unit with another unit. Fan working in current unit however the hot water system is so noisy when heating. It can be heard from all rooms in the house. We were told by Dux this system is noisier than other hot water systems on the market. Not wrong. Find it hard to sleep at night as system is behind our bedroom window. Seems to be heating most of the day.

Is it normal for the unit to ice up during warmer weather? If so how long does the de-icing program run for. It has been going at least 12 hours now. The water being supplied from the unit is much hotter than normal.

Hi,
Do you have any instructions on how to replace the anodes in an D2FHG4HW0C?
I'm trying to determine if I need a plumber to do this or it's a DIY task.
Thanks.

Get onto your local Dux dealer, especially if you are still within their warranty period. They have an owner's manual which you should have got when it was installed. It will tell you more in that manual. If you didn't get one, ask Dux for a copy or download from their website. They now warranty their enamelled steel tanks for 10 years so it is reasonable to expect to get 10 years before any leaks. We had our first leak before 2 years and the replacement just over 5 years.
Do not bother - just go back to electric system
I have hydrotherm system also and it has been working a treat for almost 5 years.
My plumber totally advised against heat pumps but had not heard of hydrotherm which might be a good sign and I also have had fantastic experience with that brand.
Big NO to dux and rheem ! Problems from the very beginning!
