When it comes to choosing a hot water system for your home or business, the options are endless. Different brands have unique priorities and values. Making the correct choice can be the difference between a long, trouble-free lifespan for your water heater and a path full of hassle, repairs, and premature replacement.
Today, we’re highlighting Dux, an Australian brand founded in 1915, equipped with ample experience and knowledge to provide reliable and efficient hot water for your property. While every Dux system is manufactured here in Australia, it’s backed by Noritz, a leading Japanese manufacturer and international powerhouse. This enables quality control and fast service alongside continuous research and development, which has resulted in many breakthroughs in the energy and heating world.
Its focus is on efficiency, reliability, and longevity, and when it comes to your hot water system, what more can you really ask for? In the words of Dux itself, its products are “built stronger to last longer”.
Innovative Features of Dux Hot Water Systems
The “Dux difference” ensures high-quality, made-in-Australia products developed with unrivalled technology. Its heating systems range from electric to gas and solar to heat pumps, and with varying shapes and sizes from 25L to 400L, there truly is an option for every home and business.
Proflo
If you need a replacement for your existing electric water heater, Dux’s Proflo model is an ideal solution. Suitable for homes of all sizes, the 25L and 50L Proflo models fit in even the tightest and most compact cupboards and are available as either hardwired or plug-in. The larger models (80-400L) feature durable Y-class commercial-grade enamel, a larger anode to increase tank life, and dense foam insulation for less heat loss and lower running costs.
Other standout innovative features of the Proflo Dux range include water connections on both sides of the tank, screwless tank lids for a cleaner appearance, low maintenance and outdoor or indoor installation options.
Prodigy
The Prodigy is Dux’s gas storage offering, consisting of both 4- and 5-star models for increased efficiency. Powerful burner technology means more hot water whenever you need it and faster recovery rates. It’s available in natural gas and propane models and doesn’t require a power point, meaning there is no need to worry should you lose power.
Gas continuous flow
The next brand in Dux’s family tree is the trusty gas continuous flow heater, which provides hot water that never runs out. Thanks to Noritz’s innovative technology, Dux offers both non-condensing and condensing models. Condensing heaters reduce energy use and lower the exhaust temperature to 50°C compared with 200°C in a non-condensing alternative.
Dux’s Airoheat and Ecosmart models round out the offering. Still trying to decide which type is best for your property? Contact Same Day Hot Water Service today; our expert team will gladly advise you.

Comparisons with Other Brands in the Market
So, Dux’s models are innovative, reliable, and cost-effective. But what else makes them stand out from other offerings on the market? The products are centred around the company’s mission of providing reliable hot water to households, with a focus on convenience, safety, and versatility.
The design of the Prodigy series is truly considered. It’s a reliable and easy replacement for older models, making it the go-to for many households. The 4-Star series claims to be the market leader in first-hour capacity and recovery rates, proving Dux’s commitment to customer service and providing value for money. Similarly, the 10-year warranty on the 5-star tank makes it a choice families can count on. Dux’s patented flue damper design increases efficiency, reduces heat loss and makes the unit run more effectively, leading to savings on household bills.
Depending on the model, size, and installation location, Dux water heater prices start at $1530 and go up to around $4000 for the Dux Ecosmart heat pump. These prices, particularly the lower price point, are competitive against other brands, especially for their reliable and professional service.
Why Choose Dux
Dux’s models sell themselves thanks to their innovative design and reliable functionality, but if you need even more persuading, listen to the judges.
In 2022, Dux won the award for “Most Satisfied Customers” from Canstar Blue, Australia’s largest comparison site. It received top marks for performance, value for money, ease of use, and design. Recognition continued with awards from ProductReview.com.au for the Prodigy 4 Gas Storage, Proflo Electric Storage, and Always Hot Continuous Flow water heaters.
It’s clear that customers are at the heart of Dux’s offerings, and they’re the people it considers when developing new technologies. This commitment hasn’t gone unnoticed, resulting in some glowing testimonials from former and current Dux users.
“I decided to replace my Dux Hardie 250L hot water system with a Dux Proflo 250T1 (250L) – it was still working after 27 years, with our family of 5 people (and guests) using the hot water every day during that time!” – Michael
“We had a new system installed, replacing an old system. The new system runs a lot more efficiently and hotter water. With warranty and parts available, looking forward to a long service life.” – Matthew
“Efficient, reliable, well installed, great pressure, plenty of hot water.” – Tony
“Recently installed a 250L ProFlo system in our holiday unit. We have been really impressed with how long the hot water lasts for our family of 4.” – Steve
“Fantastic hot water system. [It] heats very fast, and we always have enough hot water now. Like the rubber-coated supports on the bottom of the unit, so it sits directly on the plinth, and we don’t need the wood that was rotting away.” – James
