Pilot light Issues.....

published

Installed 2 1/2 years ago and has been great up till now. In the past week the pilot light has gone out about 3 times. It relights without a problem but then couple days later cold water again. Spoke with installer and he advised that certain units <dating back to mine, didn't have a pilot light guard fitted and it was an issue that Rheem should repair under warranty. Will contact on Monday, we'll see.

Purchased in April 2021 for $1,400.00.

Operating as expected excellent

published

following minor issues with pilot light repeatedly going out 5times in a month the unit is now performing to full satisfaction and the unit in my opinion is recommended providing it keeps performing at the same rate as of now .issue of pilot light was rectified fairly quickly within the day following my phone call to service dept.

Piece of junk - lasted 4 years - gave trouble throughout - warranty on tank only

published

Lasted for 4 years - kept going out throught - badly and cheaply made - pipe leaking water - the whole thing caught fire - not safe - warranty only covers the tank - not the shonky additions like poorly welded piping - stay away from this brand

This is what a hot shower feels like :-)

published

The water flow and heat produced by this unit is wonderful, had forgotten what a good shower feels like. I would have no hesitation in recommending this unit to my friends and family

Performance counts

published

Performing extremely well, control on temperature of the hot water is excellent. It is supplying more than enough hot water for our family. The unit is relatively quiet even at night time. Great product, Dux

Issue with system not reheating water as tank temperature drops over 12 hour period

published

Hot water supply OK for first 15 months. However of late it appears that the thermostat control is failing with the need to drop at least 20-25% of the tank capacity to give a cold water shock "before" the gas system fires up to bring the tank temperature up to operating level. Issue began April 2022. Very frustrating for a quality product.
Local Dux authorized plumber not returning phone calls, despite assurance from office to do so.

Purchased in January 2021.

Hot water is really hot

published

Our 16 year old gas storage hot water system had become unreliable. Knew that at Bunnings I could arrange next day installation. Paid the extra $50 for this and was contacted later in the day that the installation would not be done the next day but the day after that. The extra $50 was refunded. Told that plumber would be in contact which he was, on the morning of installation. Installation went smoothly although there was an additional cost. This I had been warned about. Water is very hot, perhaps too hot.

Rubbish

published

Pilot light issues - like other reviewers I put this down to stronger winter winds .. but, my bad .. any strong wind !! Interior insulation has already started to fail within unit .. I've got someone coming over later today to replace it with a proper HWS .. very disappointing to relight a pilot light at 2.30 to 3 o'clock on a wintery morning (yes - I work early) and then having to go into work without being able to shower .. grr

New unit working ok.i hope to get another 9 years with no issue

More efficient than the water heater that came with the house. Very happy with our choice

published

We have had no problems with this unit. So far we are happy with the unit we chose to replace our old one. It seems to be more efficient than our old unit and we get no overflow. We had to connect a garden hose to our old one and have it running into the garden as we always had water coming our of the overflow pipe
