Why Go with Dux for Your Hot Water System in Sydney?
Over the course of its century-long history, Dux has constantly been at the forefront of hot water innovation developing some of the sector’s most important advances. Importantly, these include environmentally friendly solutions such as the integration of heat pump technology and the early introduction of solar-powered hot water systems. Alongside other efforts, these are bringing low and zero-carbon hot water solutions to all properties.
Developing and constructing their systems in New South Wales, Dux systems are also perfectly suited for local climates. Dux has several patents regarding its technology meaning its innovative water heating techniques cannot be found in products from other manufacturers.
Known for their precise manufacturing tolerances, quality materials, and especially high durability, Dux systems enjoy a reputation for producing robust systems that stand the test of time.

The Prodigy line comes in 4-star and 5-star energy variants, fully compatible with the footprint of older, 3-star models. Dux has therefore made it even easier to upgrade your gas hot water storage system making replacement extra easy and hassle-free.
Both variants feature a new and improved powerful burner that provides even more hot water making full use of the patented Dux flue damper system that is designed to reduce heat loss. The systems also no longer need a power point to operate, meaning even in the event of a power cut, a household will not be without hot water.

The units come in a variety of sizes with different flow rates from 17 litres a minute to as much as 32 litres a minute.
These come in both a condensing and non-condensing option with the former reusing residual exhaust heat to deliver over $1000 worth of measurable savings. Both units are highly efficient with energy-star ratings as high as 6.4 (non-condensing) and 6.7 (condensing).

Ecosmart Solar Range
Aimed at households and businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint significantly, the Ecosmart Solar range uses the free, powerful energy of the sun to provide hot water. High-performance solar collectors are installed on the roof of a property with a pump circulating the cold and hot water to and from a storage tank that is installed at the ground level.
Dux makes use of an Australian-made tank that features dense, 50mm thick polyurethane for preserving heat throughout the day ready for use. Within the tank, Dux installs multiple sensors to ensure overheating does not occur.
To ensure a steady, continuous supply of hot water, MPJ Plumbing also recommends the installation of gas or electricity-powered boosters. These boost the temperature of water heading to your outlet to ensure it has reached your desired temperature. Even with a booster installed, Dux’s solar systems enjoy 6-star energy ratings.
- 250L, 315L, and 400L storage tank options
- Class-leading energy efficiency and cost benefits
- Efficient European controller and circulator
- High-performance solar collectors
- Specially insulated tank for heat preservation
- Multiply tank sensors to prevent overheating
- 7-year tank warranty
Airoheat Heat Pump
Available as a 250L, outdoor, ground-level hot water solution, the Airoheat Heat Pump is ideal for homes where roof-mounted solar collectors are not possible or not suitable.
Offering similar energy efficiency, the Airoheat uses reverse refrigeration to extract hot air from outside and heat water with it. Dux makes use of its patented in-tank heating coil to transfer heat directly to water, losing no heat in the process, something common amongst non-Dux systems.
The system features dual anodes to prevent tank corrosion and has water connections on either side making it suitable for any property setup.
- Unified design for quick and easy installation
- Suitable for high rainfall areas
- Dual anodes for extended lifespan
- Patented in-tank heating coil for direct heat transfer and no heat loss
