Great choice for small family
Prodigy 4 135ZB4N/135ZB4P (135L)This is the second Dux 135l prodigy 4 I have had installed, one at our home about 2 years ago,the other at our investment unit just a few days ago. Both installs were seamless and the Dux Prodigy4 at home has performed without a hitch and I expect the second one will be just as reliable delivering hot water to our tenants. I can recommend Dux gas hot water services to anyone considering a replacement install.

Didn't last Five years DON'T BUY
Prodigy 4 135ZB4N/135ZB4P (135L)This system went rusty and failed at 4 years 10months then to rub salt into the wound was without hot water for several days and had to fork out an additional $550 for installation of a warranty new cylinder which Dux don't even stand by under a new warranty but only remains of the original system, trust me you don't need to lose out this much financially but another brand these are garbage

Excellent Hot Water Unit
Prodigy 4 135ZB4N/135ZB4P (135L)The Dux Hot Water unit does what it says it does. Hot water! With a family of 5 the unit copes well, while being energy efficient. Has all the modern features with the added piece of mind of a three year warranty. Purchased at Bunnings and am extremely happy with it.

Good Performance
Prodigy 4I had used 170D5N since 2013 and just 2 days ago had leakage on the bottom of the tank.

Perfect speedy replacement after old system failed just before Christmas
Prodigy 4 135ZB4N/135ZB4P (135L)Our old unit stopped working 9 days before Christmas and we were in a panic.
Bunnings online made it very easy to get a new system.
Price was great, sales team were knowledgeable, answered all our questions and there were no hidden extras.
The Dux installer arrived on time, was polite, efficient with the installation and took the old system away.
We are extremely happy, our new Dux was installed 6 days before Christmas Day and handles the demand from two bathrooms very well.

Questions & Answers
My 2 year old Prodigy 4 is really noisy, making popping and banging noises every time hot water is run. I rang Dux up in July and they sent someone out to change the anode (I was charged $350 for this). Made no difference. My last Prodigy 3 lasted 15yrs and was silent. What can I do to fix this?
Hi Stuart,

What setting do you use on heat, 6 or7.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for your question.
We would suggest trying it at both settings and see what works the best.
Regards,
The Dux Team
I use 5.5. Thanks!
not sure what settings you are referring to, temp and flow rate are pre set and cannot be adjusted.
Have a Dux Prodigy gas Hot water service 11 yrs. old, now leaking with rusted tank. Thinking of purchasing another as the first has been very efficient til now. Does the vitreous enamel lining give a longer lifetime to the tank. My 1st hot water service lasted 18 yrs. and some reviews mention 20 yrs. Nearing retirement and want to purchase something that will last. Looking at Dux Prodigy 4 135ZB4N. Thanks
Hi Lynette,
Thanks for raising your question.
All of our tanks have had a Vitreous enamel lining on them for many, many years. Additional protection is also provided by a sacrificial rod fitted to the tank called an Anode, it's designed to dissolve in preference to the tank.
Subject to water quality, we recommend that the tank be flushed and the anode changed at a maximum of 5 years, in areas with "hard" water/aggressive water chemistry, we suggest every three years.
Please contact your local water supply authority to find out what your water is classed as.
Cheers,
The Dux Team
