Aquatech DYNAMIC/X8

Extremely happy with the AquatechX8 heat pump hot water service. I recently had the Aquatech Dynamic X8 heat pump hot water service installed and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From the initial consultation through to the installation, everything was explained clearly and the process was handled professionally. Competitively… Read more

priced, The new heat pump is working beautifully, and I’m really pleased with how quiet and efficient it is. It’s great knowing I’ve made an energy-efficient choice for my home, and I’m already seeing the savings on my energy bill. The app is easy to navigate, l have it on timer so it’s on during the day to make the most of our solar, and l can easily switch from one mode to another depending on the situation. I would definitely recommend the Aquatech Dynamic X8 to anyone considering a heat pump hot water system. Excellent service from start to finish!

We had the Aquatech Dynamic /X8 installed a week ago ( Due to our 18 yrs old Dux Prodigy 3 gas hot water heater failed ).The noise of this new unit is acceptable for us ( Tips: If possible, avoid installing units near bedrooms, windows etc ). There isTime Setting to Turn the unit ON and OFF. Our plumber did the settings for us and we just leave… Read more

it. The wifi Tuya app is useful to check water temperature, other settings etc. It has 5 yrs warranty plus 2 yrs extended warranty with Product Reviews is an added bonus. We are happy and comfortable with this Aquatech Dynamic/X8 heat pump.

Installed the DYNAMIC/X8 to replace an ageing gas system for a 4-person household (1 bathroom). A few weeks in and it's performing well. Solar integration has been excellent — running it in STANDARD mode with a 09:00–15:00 timer window, and it consistently pulls zero grid power during that time, confirmed twice now via a dedicated smart meter on… Read more

the unit's own circuit. Recovery from a big draw (e.g. a long shower) to full temperature typically takes under 2.1kWh, which matches the manual's stated COP figures well.

One thing worth knowing for new owners: the tank stratifies as expected, so the display can show a much lower temperature than what's actually coming out the tap after heavy usage — not a fault, just how storage tanks work, and the tempering valve keeps delivery safe regardless.

Also used HYBRID+ mode a couple of times to top the tank up to 70°C on strong solar days — worked exactly as described, no issues, and gave useful extra buffer.

Copes well with demand so far, no temperature complaints, and being able to time it around solar generation has made a real difference to running cost.

I had my Aquatech DYNAMIC/X8 heat pump installed just over a month ago by Powrhouse who provided the best quote for me at the time. I found them on Google and was impressed with the fair reviews they have for a range of heat pump products from different brands. Also, I was very happy with how quickly they responded to my enquiries and how helpful… Read more

they were with applying for the rebate. Over the past few weeks with this Aquatech DYNAMIC/X8 heat pump, I think I made a very good choice, again, thanks to the reviews by Powrhouse. I set it in the Hybrid1 mode, which brings the water temp to 70°C. For the past month in Melbourne when the outside temp was often around 12°C, it normally took 4-6 hours to heat up to 70°C (8-10°C every hour). I program it to start at 11am and switch off when water temp is 70°C (just one cycle a day). We have a family of four and we have never run out of hot water since we had it. We used to have a gas water heater which was the only gas appliance in my house. It cost us $70-90/month for gas. Now, there is no more gas bills and the electricity bill does not seem to change much (we have free electricity 11am-2pm). So if this Aquatech DYNAMIC/X8 heat pump last more than the warranty period, I would be super happy. Just one minor think, the control app seems not to work if there are two many "scenes". Maybe they cancel each other out. So I had to keep them to the minimal.

Wasn’t sure what to expect from the heat pump but was recommended it from a friend and also the installers. Was pleasantly surprised by the result. It has been absolutely fantastic. My hot water has never been hotter, it arrives to my bathroom and kitchen quicker and has met all out hot water needs. The set up was super easy and I get to heat my water at times that suit my energy providers plan options. Show details

After looking at several different brands, I chose the Aquatech X8 because its design seemed to take in a few of the maintenance concerns I had with heat pumps. Its operation has been excellent. I really like the app that I use to program the unit’s operation to maximise efficiency and we’re enjoying the results in the shower. It’s also a good looking unit that sits easily down the side of the house and it’s reasonably quiet in its operation. Show details

Early days, but the X8 has been perfect for our needs, it will be interesting to see if there are any problems in the coming years. The X8 sits outside between our master bedroom and kitchen window, yet it is very quiet. It's very easy to set up timers on the app. We time the X8 to run during the middle of the day and there's plenty of hot water for a bath in the evening and showers in the morning. Show details

Our Aquatech Dynamic X8 was installed about 4 weeks ago, it is performing very well and keeps up to our expectations. Will recommend this unit to our friends and family. Show details

Nice unit. It's too early to see what the saving is as I haven't recieved a bill yet. Very nice installation, see photo. Show details

We have this unit installed for just over 1 week. I am very happy with the unit so far. Noise level is not an issue, I can hear it when in the yard but once inside the house, I could not really hear it. I run my during solar generation period and it does not consume a lot of energy but it does take 4-6 hours to heat up the tank depending on what… Read more

the tank temperature is at the start of the day. I am in the middle of winter at the moment, so I guess this is the worse case scenario but it's handling the cold weather just fine.

The insulation of the tank is very good, there is hardly any temperature lost due to cold ambient temperature outside.

You can control the heating schedule on the unit itself or via the Tuya app. Both are pretty easy to operate. Aquatech recommends that the scheduling should be done directly on the unit and not via the Tuya app. The Tuya App should be used for viewing purely because if the internet is down when the schedule is suppose to start or end, then this event will not triggered because the schedule is stored on the Tuya server. And you should not schedule both on the Tuya app and directly on the unit as this might conflict with each other. I hope this help as I did spend sometime exploring this.

Had the system installed less than a week ago, it is performing well so far. Nice hot water in the shower, delivered faster than the old instantaneous hot water system we had, so less waiting and wasting of water. The water reheat cycle seems fast enough, considering it is the middle of winter in Victoria. When heating, the condenser fan noise is… Read more

quiet, but there is another rattly sound which is a little unpleasant when standing very close. The wifi and mobile app are handy to keep an eye on the tank temperature, while getting used to the new system. I don't like the adverts in the mobile app though, makes it feel a bit cheap and nasty. The unit/installation looks nice and neat, better than some other brands offerings.

We had our Aquatech X8 heat pump installed by Brightworks Solar, and the entire experience was seamless, efficient, and professionally managed from start to finish. Adrian was helpful and responsive throughout the process, and the installation team, Carlos and Nathan, did an outstanding job. They arrived on time, were careful, courteous and highly… Read more

professional, cleaned up thoroughly, and, after the electricians completed their work (which was also excellent), removed all packaging and rubbish. We couldn't speak more highly of the entire team. The Aquatech X8 looks great and operates very quietly. One of the standout features is the integrated timer and app, which allows us to schedule water heating to coincide with peak solar generation. This makes excellent use of our rooftop solar and helps keep our hot water costs to a minimum. The price is very competitive and with a solid warranty was the standout choice. Overall, we're extremely happy with both the Aquatech X8 and the quality of the installation. Based on our experience, we would happily recommend both the product and Brightworks Solar.

Excellent heat pump. This is now the second heat pump I’ve purchased from AquaTech. The first one lasted 13 years and I think it honestly paid for itself twice over in electricity savings in that period compared to an electric HWS. I would highly recommend. Show details

Happy with my Dynamic X8 heat pump from Aquatech. Purchased from Liam at HiTech Hotwater who was excellent and gave a competitive price. Installers were very punctual tidy and helped me set it up to my solar. The app is a bit average and disconnected when I installed a printer on my home wifi but no huge issues. Super-efficient and looks great as matches the house paint. Show details

So far, so good. I’ve been using it for a month, and heating from 35 to 65 degrees takes about 3.5 to 4 hours. The heater noise is minimal not intrusive and tuya app is super easy to use, can schedule heat pump operation. Show details

impressive features is how energy-efficient it is. The 268-litre capacity is generous, and yet the unit heats up quite fast, recovering enough hot water even after heavy usage in a few hours. The system integrates well with solar PV, allowing me to schedule heating during times when I have excess solar output. That means I’m using more “free” energy rather than drawing from the grid.
