Electric Hot Water System

Electric storage tanks are the most commonly used hot water systems usually found in residential homes.

All standard electric storage tanks offer a 5 year warranty on the tank and 12 months on parts.
Dux and Rheem offer the option of a 10 year warranty on their 250 litre, 315 litre and 400 litre size storage tanks.

To maximise the life of your tank it is recommended most valves are replaced every 5 years, and simply by replacing the sacrificial anode you could double the life of your storage tank

Storage tanks range in capacity from 50 litres up to 400 litres. Use this handy guide to work out which size is right for you.

Capacity	Tariff 33	Tariff 31
	Off peak / Day Rate	Off Peak 1 / Night Rate
50 Litre	Not Suitable	Not Suitable
