Excellent Supply and Install of DUX Prodigy 4.

published

Our old DUX 135 litre hws finally decided to spring a leak after 20 years of service. Replaced with the same brand and size as its performance is ideal for our 3 bedroom townhouse even when guests arrive.
Perfect install by Same Day Hot Water Service with everything taken away on the same day. $ 1130 total for supply and install.

Purchased in January 2021 at Same Day Hot Water Service Retail for $1,130.00.

All too easy!

An easy transfer over from the old system. Installed in half an hour and notified by the plumber of the time of arrival. This is the second unit we have had for two properties and highly recommend the Prodigy 4.

Three weeks in.. is this a record !

published

Why would you ask for a review this early, apart from evaluating the installers. How hard can this be ?
I'll let you know when it fails, in or out of warranty. You will hear from me !!

A success from go to whoa.

published

Installed on the date and time as promised. It replaced a DUX MARATHON which had been giving sterling service for what must be a near record of 18 years. It was still working ok but we felt that it must soon fail so, rather than have it do so on a weekend, which is usually the way, we decided to replace it. The new unit is neater and more compact and the installation, plumbing wise, is a work of art. The water temp. is constant and the flow is excellent. Congratulations to all concerned.

Great unit installed by Bunnings

published

I ordered this unit by phone from Bunnings on a Public Holiday Monday and it was installed Wednesday morning by an extremely efficient and tidy Fitter. i had been 3 days with no hot water and was absolutely thrilled with the temperature and flow of the hot water. Its been running no for 6 weeks and I have no complaints. I would definitely recommend using Bunnings and this system to anyone

No problems with this unit. It was purchased through Bunnings, ordered one day and installed the next. Would recommend purchasing through Bunnings as they arranged installation the next day as well.

After our twenty year old water heater dramatically died, we had this new water system installed. It was chosen on our behalf by the rescuer...the plumber. It provides Instant heat. Big unit to service our big home. Very pleased.

Installed 2 days after order & works fine

We ordered this through Bunnings who arranged the installation. 2 days later it was installed. It's been running well, plenty of hot water - as good as the Rheem it replaced, when it was its prime.

It is an economical unit to cope with low demand

published

I am satisfied with the flow of water. Earlier I had a similar unit and it was satisfactory. The only concern is when the fault was in the PTC valve, and when I contacted service personnel they were not keen on replacing the faulty items and recommended it to e replaced with a new unit.

Excellent unit for me and the three kids.

Hassle-free- hot water when I need it for me and my 3 kids. They have baths every night. I haven't experienced any hot water shortage. Temperature seems to be perfect, even after a big wash.

This hot water system suits my needs perfectly

published

I purchased my hot water system thru Bunnings. This system has not only proven to be cost efficient it has been carefree.My previous system was also Dux and only died due to it being over 18 years old.
So I would gladly recommend these water systems to anyone who wants good value for their money.

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
