Dux Proflo Questions & Answers (page 3 of 7)

I am thinking of replacing a HardieDux HDE125l November 1988. I think it’s a dual element. The base is rusting badly. It is in a holiday home - indoors. I have had no problems at all but it won’t last another 30 years. I’m looking at a 250l continuous tariff as there are more people at peak times. The property is on an island so I’d use a local plumber. I turn the heater off if we are away a few weeks. Is this a good idea? Can I get a 250 dual element?

Hello. My hot water system keeps tripping the safety switch on my meter box could this be the thermostat? Should I contact a plumber or a sparky? Cheers

Hi.
My proflo 50l is brand new snd keeps activating circuit breaker in main meterbox. I pushed the reset switch the first time this happened but now its bypassing the the unit and settling off house breaker in meterbox. In fact this happens as soon as you plug the unit into the PowerPoint.
Could this be fried thermostat or possibly dodgey element?
PowerPoint has been checked and no fault there. Any suggestions for a remedy to this problem would be appreciated?
Thanx

I'm trying to set a timer on my 50w1 to utilise my solar panels . It is currently set from 4am to 9am and 4pm to 9pm and there is plenty of hot water. But from 4am to 6am there is no sun and 7pm to 9pm there is no sun so these 4hours are on grid 3.6 kwh x 28 cents per day. I'm thinking of changing it to 5am to 9am dropping 1 on grid hour and 2pm to 9pm gaining 2 solar hours. How long should the water stay hot if not used?

What is the internal layout of the 250S136 look like?

I am going overseas for 3 months on a business trip. I was wondering what is the best way for me to turn off the outdoor dux water tank? Do I turn off the circuit on the switch outside first and than release the water? Would that cause any problems when I come back?

hi I have a dux proflo hot water cylinder( unsure of what model). im having problems with water pressure which sometimes only trickles when using washing machine or having other taps on at the same time and the hot water takes along time to run hot. I must add that I have a two and a half storey house and the upstairs bathroom shower is affected a lot. I have been reading a lot of the comments and just wondering whether it may need a new thermostat or element. I do on regular basis check the release valve which is working perfectly.i have had the HWS for nearly 15 years and apart from the lack of hot water and lack of water pressure it is working great. can you advise my options. thanks

Hi i have a dux flo 259l hot water system and we ran out of water the other day.which we didnt realise so i turned the hws off at the power source in the meter box and when the water come back i turned the system back on again now there is no noise or no hot water at all. Help me.

Hi there,
My Dux 25W124P keep dripping quite alot more than usual from the valve. What should I do now?

I have a Dux Prodigy 4 natural gas HWS (model 170ZN). Over the last few weeks hot water from any tap in the house is not as hot as usual. However, hot water from the pressure valve on the HWS is normal and there's no evidence of leaking around the tank. Any advice?
Regards
