So far...so good

Initial unit had a number of water & gas leak issues but a replacement was promptly organised by Simon & Roberto @ AQUATECH SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD. New unit is running fine at this present time supplying constant hot water to a household of 4 people.

Purchased in for $2,500.

Saving heaps.

Dynamic/X8

I love the fact I can set and forget. It comes on at 10.30 am used my generated solar power and switches off when the set temp is reached. No more off peak heating bills. Great to have same temperature water each day. Love the fact I can boost the temperature to 70 degrees during the day if needed and still use solar power. Fabulous purchase.

Easy, quiet and just does what a HWS is supposed to do.

Dynamic/X8

Had one of these heat pumps installed by my local plumber. Hydrotherm were very easy to deal with and had it delivered to me.

It runs for about 2-3 hours a day and uses about 1.2KW while running. It's programmed to run when the sun is shining so I get free hot water from my solar essentially.

So happy I went with this and got my gas disconnected so I am completely off gas now!

Purchased in for $3,000.

Excellent system - really works well

Dynamic/X8

We made the decision to use the Hydrotherm Dynamic/X8 heat pump to compliment the installation of solar panels - now we have no gas bills and our first quarterly electricity bill is a credit of $98 - what could be better?

Still happy 3 months on

Dynamic/X8

Very happy with all the comms and clean install from Gavin at Melbourne heat pumps. Provided some really good advice about staying with the 280L unit which has 100% been the way to go. We don’t use huge amount of hot water as just two of us for now but it meant even on cold cloudy days in late winter the unit was only running for an hour to get back up to temp. Have found a work around app (Tuya smart) to be able to check temp etc from the phone which is probably my only gripe that hydrotherm haven’t got there own out there yet. Would recommend at this stage.

Purchased in for $2,860.

Best investment ever

Dynamic/X8

This is the best investment I've ever made. The money saved on electricity far outweighs the cost. Could be a little bet pressure but it's fine for us

Hi. Can anyone give cost savings from before/after installation? I on control load 2 hot water with solar panels but solar not connected to hot water - hence looking to change. The hot water is 50% of my monthly usage. Thank you

Ian
Ian · 

I just installed one and I was on controlled load 1 now using solar panels to heat the water. I find that the amount of electricity needed to heat the water is maybe about 1/3 of what my old heat element hot water tank used. I am estimating that I save approx. $1 per day based on previously using 5-6 kwh on off peak now about 2kwh from solar that would have been exported. Even without solar panels and heating on general use electricity it would be a saving.

Thank you Ian. Great news from my POV. Hot H2O have been good to deal with so far, and Lee was excellent during the free quote visit yesterday. I accepted the very reasonable quote today. I look forward to saying goodbye to gas, and saving dollars courtesy of our solar power system.
