The Aquamax hot water range in general terms

Aquamax is best known for continuous flow gas hot water units, which heat water on demand rather than storing it in a tank, and we see them fitted on the outside wall of homes right across the Redlands.

Continuous flow suits households wanting an ongoing supply of hot water without the risk of running out, and it takes up far less space than a storage tank, which matters on smaller blocks and townhouse developments. Aquamax also offers storage electric and gas units for homes where continuous flow is not the right fit, whether because of gas supply, budget, or the layout of the property.

As with any brand we work on, we are not going to claim Aquamax is the best choice on the market — the right unit comes down to your household's hot water use and how the home is set up, not brand loyalty.

Common faults we see on Aquamax units

The most frequent call we get on Aquamax units is no hot water, which on a continuous flow system can point to an ignition fault, a problem with gas supply to the unit, or an issue with the flow sensor that tells the unit water is being drawn.

Ignition and pilot issues are common after a gas bottle swap or a power interruption, since continuous flow units rely on both gas and electricity to fire correctly. Continuous flow units display an error code when something is wrong, and the exact meaning varies by model and firmware version, so we always read the code on the unit itself rather than diagnosing over the phone.

On the smaller number of Aquamax storage tanks we service, we see the usual TPR valve leaks and, on older steel tanks near the water in Wellington Point and Ormiston, corrosion brought on by salt air. Blocked or corroded external flues on wall-mounted units are also worth checking, particularly on homes that back onto trees or dense gardens.

Aquamax hot water repairs and installs across the Redlands

Whether we repair or recommend replacing an Aquamax unit depends on the fault, the age of the unit and whether parts are readily available for the model. We confirm the number with you before any work begins.

We also install and service other brands

Aquamax is one of six brands we work on across the Redlands and bayside. DK Plumbing also repairs, services and installs Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Vulcan and Bosch hot water systems, so if you are weighing up a replacement, we can talk through what suits your home rather than assuming a like-for-like swap is best.
