So Far, So Good

Only had about 1 month, and all's well. Likely better to be asked for a review after 12 months or more after any possible problems could be expected to be revealed. Installation service was seamless and efficient.

Handles our hot water needs with no issue. No issues with temp or heating. This 30 word minimum is likely to result in me never ever bothering to write another review for anything.

Timing was amazing. It works fine.

My last one had problems after 17 years. I replace by the same, and the most interesting is the agility in facilitating the renewal. I have been using for a month now without any issues.

Product Assessment

published

The Dux unit that was replaced lasted 20 years, so I was happy to go with the Dux Proflo, which has a 10 year cylinder warranty. A new external valve was also fitted with the installation. The flow of hot water increased, as did its temperature, and my electricity consumption dropped by round 3 kw per day, whilst water consumption rose by around 15 to 20 litres per day.

Purchased in November 2020 at Bunnings Warehouse Retail Stores for $850.

Installers were polite and efficient.

published

The unit was installed the day after I phoned & was reasonably priced and the installers were polite and efficient. It looks well-made & works well so far, but I can't say more than this 'til I've had it a while. I'm hoping it will last considerably longer than the 3-year extended warranty on parts and labor which I was offered for writing this review.

Like for like replacement fee doesn't include cost of some extras.

published

Purchased thru Bunnings. I saw a lower price on-line elsewhere but when I checked again with Bunnings, they had already beaten the other price!
Like-for-like replacement installation advertised at $299 which looked good, particularly as the old and new units were identical.
HOWEVER, I had to pay extra for 3 replacement valves which was unexpected, totalling approx. $320.
The installation was very quick, on-time and no mess left, excepting that I had to dispose of the old Hot Water unit and the new one's carton myself.

Purchased in September 2022 for $790.

Top Shelf Service

Early days yet for accurate appraisal but after a few weeks everything points to an excellent product. Installation was on time and we received a great talk through from the installer on completion. Process from enquiry at Bunnings to installation was simple and very timely. Price more than competitive with other brands.

Purchased in July 2022 at Bunnings Warehouse for $1,528.

Early appraisal

published

It is really too early - one week old - to make a definitive appraisal but we are happy to have hot water again. Although the installers were most obliging and efficient, an error was made in the electrical connection. We were without hot water for three more days before an electrician rectified things.

Purchased in July 2022.

Questions & Answers

Tristan P.
Tristan P.asked
Proflo 250T1 (250L)

I have recently moved into a one storey apartment we purchased of which a new duxflo tank was installed less than 12mths ago by the previous owner.

Firstly, it seems odd that hot water is taking at least 30s to reach the outlets considering the tank is within the apartment. This can happen any time during the day.
Secondly, the pressure is very small compared to just running the cold water. About half the pressure I would say.
Thirdly, having even upped the temperature to 70ºC I still require full hot water when washing up and only need to add a tiny bit of cold for showers. Initially the temperature was set to 60ºC and I did not have to add cold to the shower at all.

I have lived in a number of houses and apartments s with electric hot water tanks of which I've never had an issue with any of the above.

Keen to know the reasons why and if there are workarounds to improve the issues.

Cheers,
Tristan

Hi. They are steel. Not copper. The description states: "Steel tanks feature long life enamel from A. O. Smith and a thicker anode to maximise tank durability"

Hope this helps.
