Aquatech states that  "Our heat pumps are built specifically to withstand Australian conditions. The tank is made from vitreous enamel and has a current impressed electronic anode for maximum protection. All our systems come with a minimum 5 year warranty on all components. The expected lifespan of a quality heat pump is approximately 10-15 years."  

Aquatec Rapid x6 heat pumps require no ongoing maintenance or anode changes. 
Australian Watermark Standards recommend that all hot water system plumbing valves are checked/changed every five years for optimum performance.  

The systems have a built in memory to retain all the timers and settings. If power is lost due to a power failure or the shoulder tariff, the settings will be saved and no action is necessary. If the system is off for a long period of time, the clock may need to be adjusted but the settings will remain the same.  

To comply with  Government legislation and to meet Legionella requirements all models have a minimum set temperature of 60°C. This can be increased up to a maximum 70°C if running in HYBRID+ mode.  

They come equipped with an 1800W backup electric element. The element will only engage under the following conditions.

• If the ambient temperature is less then -5°C or higher then 43°C
• If Hybrid or Hybrid+ heating modes are selected. The heat pump will still do the majority of heating to 60°C with the element boosting to either 65 or 70°C
• If there is a fault with your system, you can select Element mode to provide hot water while servicing/repairs are arranged. Element mode heats 75% of the tank volume to 70°C.
