The Hydrotherm DYNAMIC’s larger tank provides additional hot water capacity, making it the preferred choice of heat pump for families with high hot water usage. CDL recommend this model as the perfect replacement for electric hot water systems with a tank capacity of 315L to 400L. The DYNAMIC is also a great option if you are looking for a heat pump to run exclusively off the solar power you produce.

Choosing a high-efficiency hot water system, such as the Hydrotherm, is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce household energy bills.
Our Running Cost Estimator allows you to accurately compare the Hydrotherm against other hot water systems based on your usage patterns and current power and gas prices.
The Hydrotherm’s average savings will depend on some key factors, including your current hot water usage rate, the type of hot water system you have and what tariff that system is connected to. The Hydrotherm DYNAMIC/X8 can save between 60-80% of your hot water energy usage, which can account for hundreds of dollars a year.
Hydrotherm's comprehensive 6-year warranty covers all system parts and tank in full, including any labour charges. Have peace of mind that you'll be covered.
