Good product with great service

published

We purchased from Bunnings couple of days before lockdown. Installation technician came on time and finished the job nice and tidy within a day. He was so helpful and patient to answer all my questions. The new unit provides hot water steady and strong. Love to see it stay as such for many years coming.

Purchased in April 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse for $1,394.00.

Perfect unit and installation to go with it

published

So the existing water heater started leaking after approx. 10 years of use and had to replace with the new DUX Prodigy 4 unit, the unit price was reasonable and the installation quote was super competitive by Same Day Hot water service and the entire experience great, with everything sorted out within 5 hrs from the first call to the hot water flowing through the tap.

Purchased in April 2021 at Same Day Hot Water Service Retail for $1,245.00.

New for Old not the same

published

This was a switch for same water heater after mine died after 20 years. However, it is clear there has been an improvement, water heats much faster and lasts longer than ever before. We've only had it one week, the test will come with the gas bill. Pretty happy so far.

This is perfect for my families demand

published

I’ve recently bought and installed a new dux system as my older dux system of 15 years was due for a change as it ended with a water leak that somewhere inside that had to replace the whole unit. So far with this new unit there has been no issues and it has coped with the demand so far. Hope it will for the same amount of time or more hopefully. The installation was very professional.

This unit was a replacement for our previous Dux prodigy. They are very good units meeting our expectations. We often have up to 5 people in the house and have never run out of hot water. We have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone.

Top vented unit

I had this unit installed by Dux to replace an old Ream unit. Slightly more pressure than the old unit means faster hot water to taps. We are very happy with the unit.

excellent service

published

I was amazed by the installation process, I ordered the unit through bunnings, all I had to do was to make a call, and the unit was installed on the second day. Their plumber even took away my old unit.
I had it for a month now, it's working great, dial knob has temprature labels makes it very easy to control the water temprature.
Highly recommended.

Installation process ran smoothly

published

There were no issues with accessing hot water and temperature of the water was just perfect for a newly installed hot water system. Highly recommended for anyone who need hot water quickly. It only took a few hours to install and there was no major issues. We had no hot water for months and it was a relief that same day installation seemed to fix our problems.

Long Weekend Without Hot Water.....Solved by Installation of Dux!!!

published

Our old hot water unit was a Vulcan, very old and showing its age.
Had recently noticed a slight water leak from the bottom of the old unit.......but put off replacement to another time (procrastination)!
Well, you guessed it! The unit ruptured on the Labour Day Week End and of course no hot water to shower and wash for 3 WHOLE DAYS!
"Same Day Hot Water Service" contacted today and installed a DUX 4 star hot water system....no problem....no hassle .....plenty of hot running water!
I'd write more but the wife has finished her shower and I'm DESPERATE to have my turn........I could be there for a while!

Long lasting, constant, no fuss heater.

This unit has never missed a beat, pilot light not gone out, lacked hot water in 17 years mostly servicing 4 adults. No fluctuations. Very quick and immediate hot water. Very impressed. Replaced with same type.

I haven't had any issues personally. Ours is normal, strong flow. We didn't even have teething issues. It was put in by a plumber and worked immediately. Sorry I can't help further.

why is brown water shown in the hot water tap?

why is brown water shown in the hot water tap

Mel

We had brown water soon after the plumber changed the unit. He left the water to run maybe for a minute until it cleared. Since then we had never had brown water.

Dux
Dux C.Dux

Hi Jaime,

Typically brown or discoloured water coming out of the hot water tap may indicate that sediment in the hot water lines is flushing through, or there has been contamination of the water supply source (particularly after heavy rain or if there's construction near by).

If the tank is old, it could be starting to rust as the enamel layer breaks down in part over time, and the exposed steel section of the inner cylinder begins to rust. This could be an indication that your tank is on the way out, and it may be time to consider replacing your current system.

If you send your contact and water heater model details through to [email protected], we can arrange for a Service Agent to visit your site and inspect the unit.

Thanks,

The Dux Team
