Dux electric hot water systems use electrical elements to heat and store water in an insulated tank. These systems are characterised by their reliability and suitability for homes without gas connections. They are best for households with moderate hot water needs and those in areas where electricity is more cost-effective than gas.
Dux gas hot water systems use natural gas or LPG to heat water. They are known for their quick recovery times and energy efficiency. These systems are best suited for households with high hot water demand and access to gas supply, offering lower running costs compared to electric systems in many areas.
Dux continuous flow systems, also known as instantaneous systems, heat water on demand as it flows through the unit. They are characterised by their compact size and ability to provide endless hot water. These systems are ideal for households of any size that require a constant supply of hot water without the need for a storage tank.
Dux solar hot water systems harness solar energy to heat water, typically with an electric or gas booster for cloudy days. They are known for their energy efficiency and long-term cost savings. These systems are best for environmentally conscious households in areas with good solar exposure, offering significant reductions in energy bills.
Dux heat pump systems extract heat from the surrounding air to warm water, using electricity only to run the compressor. They are characterised by their high energy efficiency and lower running costs compared to traditional electric systems. These are best suited for households looking for an energy-efficient alternative to solar, particularly in areas with mild to warm climates.
The "best" Dux hot water system depends on individual household needs, including factors such as family size, hot water usage patterns, energy costs, and environmental considerations. At Mitchell Plumbing and Gas, we consider several key factors when advising clients on the best Dux system:
1. Household size and hot water demand
2. Available energy sources (gas, electricity, solar potential)
3. Energy efficiency requirements
4. Installation space and location
5. Budget for initial purchase and ongoing running costs
6. Environmental impact preferences
On average, Dux hot water systems are known for their durability and longevity. Electric and gas storage systems typically last 8-12 years, while continuous flow systems can last up to 15-20 years. Solar systems often have a lifespan of 15-20 years for the collectors, with the storage tank lasting 8-12 years.
The longevity of Dux systems is attributed to their high-quality construction and advanced technology. Regular maintenance can further extend the lifespan of these systems.

Proper maintenance is important for the longevity and efficiency of Dux hot water heaters. Key maintenance requirements include regular inspection of the system for any signs of wear or damage, checking and cleaning of valves and anodes, flushing the system to remove sediment build-up, and ensuring all safety features are functioning correctly. For gas systems, it's important to check gas connections and burners. Solar systems require additional checks on collectors and circulation pumps. Regular professional servicing is recommended to address these maintenance needs effectively.
Dux hot water systems should typically be serviced annually. This frequency ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, and longevity of the system. Regular servicing helps identify and address potential issues before they become major problems, potentially saving on costly repairs or premature replacement.

1. Inconsistent Water Temperature: Fluctuations in water temperature or inability to maintain the set temperature.
2. Reduced Hot Water Output: Noticeable decrease in the amount of hot water available.
3. Unusual Noises: Banging, whistling, or rumbling sounds from the unit.
4. Discoloured Water: Rusty or cloudy water may indicate tank corrosion or sediment build-up.
5. Visible Leaks: Any signs of water leakage around the unit.
6. Increased Energy Bills: Unexplained increases in energy consumption.
7. Pilot Light Issues: For gas systems, frequent pilot light outages or difficulty in lighting.
8. Error Codes: Display of error codes on digital models.
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to contact professional plumbers for inspection and servicing.

1. Thermostat Failures: Leading to temperature inconsistencies.
2. Element Burnout: In electric models, causing a lack of hot water.
3. Pressure Relief Valve Issues: Resulting in leaks or pressure problems.
