Highly recommend Hydrotherm hot water system
Very efficient hot water service, economical to use, even though we chose one of the larger units. Copes well with continuous demand. Coupled with our solar power we now have free hot water as well as energy. Being made in Queensland is also a bonus knowing we are supporting local manufacturers. Very reasonable shipping fee to Victoria.

Hydrotherm heat pump HW systems - Gold Coast
The service provided by this company is first rate. We have a unit installed in Chapel Hill Brisbane Our low temp alarm failed and the company had someone out to fix it and do a full service the very next morning. The HP has been superb and enables us to maximise our solar FIT. Definitely a no brainer if you are retrofitting a house replacing a conventional HWC.

Works effectively and suites what we needed exactly
We have not run out of hot water. It runs around 58-60 degrees most of the time. Lately, it has been cloudy (6 days straight and starting to cool down), with no negative impact.

So far so good, our electricity bill has been slashed since using the hydrotherm
We have had no issues with the demand for hot water and the water is always hot even though we have it programmed to only run during the day when our solar is on.

Perfect Hot Water In Stainless
Our Hydrotherm works seamlessly behind the scene. Had the product delivered within days and installed by my local plumber. Simple instructions (with the exception of the surprise inline filter) our household was back up and running. There are four in the house, we are not big hot water users so the unit will run only when required, for us this is every second day in summer and daily in winter. The unit is quiet when in operation compared to our old heat pump. The programming instructions were clear and after some initial set up we have never run out of hot water and the unit runs in the heat of the day using less power. Top marks in our book so far.

Thanks for the heads up. Our instructions /owners manual did not contain the details of the inline filter but the unit had a sticker on the side that requested one be installed. All sorted now.

Hydrotherm Heat Pump
We have had this heat pump for 9 months and has not missed a beat. Great value, great warranty period if it is ever needed. We had the kids/partners and grandies over Christmas and New Year and it coped easily with the added hopt water required. Would recommend to anyone in the market for a new heat pump.

Very nice looking system. Modern.
The u it copes fine. We have at the moment 6 people living in the house, yet the hydrotherm hasn’t missed a beat. Always hot water. Silent heating. And a power bill $200 less than the previous bill. The sales and after installation assistance was A1. Would definitely recommend this.

We're very satisfied with our Hydrotherm heat pump
We've had our Hydrotherm heat pump now for about 6 months (since August 2018) and we're really happy with the unit. We have not had any issues getting the unit installed and it operates smoothly everyday. Thanks to the built-in timers we are able to let the unit run during the day when no one is sleeping, so the hum of the heat pump is no bother to us. The unit looks good and the purchasing process over the phone was smooth and easy - especially considering that Hydrotherm normally doesn't sell to WA - they were able to arrange transport to our...Read more
door and a week later we had the unit installed. They even gave us a better price, considering that we had to pay a little more for shipping. I can't precisely compare the cost of running the unit vs our old electric storage, since we moved into a new house, but our power bill has shrunk considerably, and I am sure switching to using a heat pump has played a big role in this reduction of cost. All in all we're stoked about our heat pump and would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable quality way to heat your water.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great so far
So far so good! Great company to deal with. Unit works as expected with no issues to date. Timer is very helpful to maximize solar usage. I have the timer set to turn on 6:30am and off at 9pm. It generally runs a couple of hours in the morning then a few hours in the evening post showers ect. The unit is loud but from what I have researched comparatively quieter than rival brands

So far so good!
System has been installed for about 6 months and seems to be working well so far. No issues with water heating up immediately. My first electricity bill was more than reasonable so that didn't seem to have had a massive impact from the solar panel system we had on our roof before. The unit, though imposing, looks pretty good in stainless steel.
Thumbs up!

Money saver
Before I installed the water heater my power bills for hot water were around $150 a quarter. Now i've installed the unit and changed to day tariff so that it only switches on after 9am and if the water is below 50 degrees. That way the power from the solar panels will heat the water after they have put several hours into the grid and only heat if necessary. I have received two power bills since the install and have a power credit which is growing. Hard for me to fully assess until 12 months has passed, but with a household of people over Ch...Read more
ristmas, hot water was in demand big time - and to receive a power bill with credit, that shows that Hydrotherm works. It is quiet, you may notice the heat pump at first but then nothing, I have installed it close to the outdoor kitchen and tables and even over the Xmas meal, no one complained of the noise, it really isn't an issue. All up it cost about $2800 purchased and installed, I estimate that it will definitely pay itself back within 5 years before warranty expires, going on current savings. Just remember to connect to the daytime power, not the overnight rate, if you have a 5kWh or more solar system.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Reliable & reduces power bills
The performance has been good right from the start with absolutely no issues with the supply of hot water.
Delivery & Installation was simple and done with very little fuss, follow up to ensure our satisfaction was also done.
More importantly it has reduced our power bill significantly since install.

Great system
We had an old large (30yrs) water system, so when we upgraded to solar and batteries it just made sense to fib the same thing with our hot water system. After a lot of digging around and reading other reviews we decided on the Hydrotherm unit. With the built in digital timer & temp control we’ve been able to set it during peak solar collection to heat our water. with it’s extremely low energy consumption we hardly notice it on the solar meter. Talk about a great investment. Nice 60°c hot water all the time. With 2 teenage daughters we never run out of hot water.

Good product so far but installation did not leave the unit plumb
Good unit for hot water. Power usage to date is comparable with previous Dux unit. 15 year guarantee is far beyond other unit presumed due to due to stainless steel tank. However installation was not the best and the unit left out of plumb. Had to correctct myself.
Overall I recommend this unit.

A very reliable product and excellent customer service.
I have this Hydrotherm unit installed for six years now and had been really happy with it until recently there were few minor faults occurred. I contacted Hydrotherm on the weekend and by Monday, Chris Farthing came and carried out a very professional overhaul of the unit. It is now up and running and perform much better than before.
Thanks Chris.

So far, very good
If you want to save money and not run out of hot water, it can take a little tweaking. I set mine to run during peak solar, raised the heating trigger temperature to make sure it didn't miss heating in the window allowed and I've not run out of hot water since. Definite savings on the electricity, almost halved my bill! Guess it's early days for a hot water system, but very happy so far!

So great
We have it set to run along side our solar hours, and a 2 hour buffer window at night to deal with night/morning showers and dishes. Has lived up to every expectation. You get used to the noise, just as if the air conditioner was running outside. Saved us a lot of money

Met all of my expectations
Being able to chose the 60 to 90 minutes a day it runs to supply the hot water needs of my 3 adult household and having timers on 2 freezers so they don't run at the selected timed, I am able to maximize cost saving by ensuring the solar panels I have are producing all the power needed for hot water and more to the grid.
The unit copes well with our demands which are really not high or extended.
Haven't noticed any temperature fluctuations. Water is off the roof tank with electric pump pressure.

Great product
We have had no trouble with the Hydrotherm at all. In fact we have purchased two in the last couple of years for different houses. Any questions before purchase were immediately answered by the manager/owner. The hydrotherm runs efficiently in the background without us having to do anything. The settings are easy to use, and the readings show exactly how hot the water is. It also looks great. Slight noise like A/C unit which was expected. No issues at all. Thanks team.

Hi we have Hydrotherm tank reads 60deg and reads full but no hot water is coming out, any ideas thanks in advance Derek

It will be sensor at the top of the system. When we had a system installed the sensor would fail at least once a year. If you brought the system from a plumber, my advice is if it is still under warranty I would be to get them to fix it. Don't let them palm you off onto hydrotherm. If you got system from hydrotherm you will probably have continuous trouble with sensor failure. We are getting a different system. Bill
Thanks Bill

Hi Lisa if you contact the office on 1300 769 904 we will be able to assist with diagnosis of issue.
We brought one of their systems and the first winter we had a sensor problem. If you brought it from a plumber I would suggest that you call them. It sounds like a similar problem too ours. If the plumbers try too get you to call Hydrotherm directly refuse as it is their problem. We rang plumbers and they gave us Simon's number. The plumbers then washed their hands of any responsibility. Hot Water system sensor would fail once or twice a year, mainly in the winter. Hope you have a better run than ours. We are now getting a solar system. Simon payed us out the money for the system so he did not have to deal with us any more. Good luck Bill.

Would you please ask for or enter the locality of the person reporting as this is important for how heat pump may work in different climate
Say Melbourne or Northern Vic etc
It is often listed but not always

Hi Ella, we live on the northern rivers of New South Wales and are finding the system to be an efficient water heater.
HI, I live in Salisbury Brisbane and have purchased 3 heat pumps over the past 5 years. I noticed considerable reduction in water heating costs throughout this time. Would not consider any other hot water system.
Thankyou for that
I was actually asking for that info to be stated in each person's comments but it must be optional
We do have neighbours in Melbourne with a htdrotherm and so far they are happy with it

Just a note, the inline filter has been removed as it's been made redundant due to the self cleaning design of our system. The manual has subsequently been updated to omit mentioning the inline filter. Thank you. Kind Regards, The Hydrotherm Team
