About the Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 Heat Pump

The Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 uses heat pump technology to draw heat from the surrounding air and transfer that heat into the stored water. This helps reduce reliance on direct electric heating and can lower hot water running costs compared with a traditional electric storage water heater depending on usage, tariff setup, climate and installation conditions.

The Dynamic X8 is the larger model in the Hydrotherm range and is commonly recommended as a replacement option for larger electric storage hot water systems, including selected 315L to 400L electric hot water systems, where the property and household usage suit a heat pump upgrade.

With 260L of stored hot water capacity, a maximum tank water temperature of 70°C, a 1.8kW electric element and a listed tank recovery time of around 4 hours, the Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 is built for households that want stronger storage capacity than smaller heat pump models.

R290 Heat Pump Efficiency

The Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 uses R290 refrigerant and heat pump technology to help heat water more efficiently than a standard electric storage hot water system.

Instead of relying only on direct electric element heating, the heat pump draws heat from the surrounding air and transfers that energy into the stored water. This allows the system to deliver hot water using less electrical input under suitable operating conditions.

Actual running cost savings can vary depending on the system being replaced, household usage, energy tariff, climate, installation location, timer settings and whether the home uses solar PV.

Larger Tank Capacity for Family Use

The 260L tank volume makes the Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 a practical option for homes needing more stored hot water than many smaller heat pump systems provide.

This larger storage capacity is useful for family homes, higher-use households and replacement jobs where the old system was a larger electric storage water heater.

The Dynamic X8 is commonly considered for customers replacing selected 315L to 400L electric hot water systems provided the site conditions and household demand suit a heat pump installation.

Electric Element Support

The Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 includes electric element support to help the system reach higher water temperatures and assist during periods of higher hot water demand or less favourable heat pump operating conditions.

This makes it useful for households that want heat pump efficiency most of the time, with additional heating support available when required.

Solar PV Friendly Operation

The Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 can be a strong option for homes with solar PV where the system is set up to run during daylight hours.

Because heat pump systems can store hot water after heating, customers with solar may be able to schedule hot water production during periods when solar generation is available depending on the electrical setup, tariff, timer settings and installation conditions.

This makes the Dynamic X8 a practical option for customers wanting to use more of their own solar power for hot water where suitable.

Vitreous Enamel Tank

The Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 uses a vitreous enamel tank designed for hot water storage durability.

Vitreous enamel tanks are commonly used in electric and heat pump hot water systems because they provide a protective internal lining. Correct installation, water quality, anode protection, servicing and warranty conditions still apply.

Common Uses

The Hydrotherm Dynamic X8 can be suitable for:

• electric hot water system replacement

• heat pump hot water upgrades

• family homes

• rental properties

• investment homes

• higher-use households

• homes replacing selected 315L to 400L electric systems

• homes wanting more capacity than a compact heat pump

• homes with solar PV where daytime operation can be scheduled

• customers wanting lower energy use than standard electric storage

Tempering Valve and Element Information

*Element size information:
All electric hot water units are supplied as standard with a 3.6kW element unless otherwise stated on the product page, invoice, or order confirmation.

If a different element configuration is requested, such as 1.8kW or 2.4kW, the hot water unit may still arrive with the standard 3.6kW element fitted from the manufacturer. The requested 1.8kW or 2.4kW element will be supplied separately with the order for installation by a suitably licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder.

Any element changeover, electrical connection, disconnection, wiring, testing, or modification must be carried out by a licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder. Elements must not be changed, connected, modified, or tested by an unlicensed person.

Alternative elements supplied for non-standard configurations may be generic replacement elements and may not be the same brand as the hot water unit unless specifically stated. Generic elements are supplied to suit the requested element size and electrical configuration, but final suitability must be checked by the licensed installer before installation.

1.8kW and 2.4kW elements supplied separately with a hot water unit include a 12-month supply-only parts warranty from the date of purchase, provided the element has been correctly installed by a licensed electrical contractor or licensed electrical licence holder and used under normal operating conditions.

This element warranty covers the replacement supply of the element only. It does not include labour, call-out fees, electrical work, plumbing work, fault finding, removal, reinstallation, testing, travel, downtime, damage caused by incorrect installation, or any other associated costs. Warranty may be declined where the element has been incorrectly installed, dry-fired, modified, damaged, connected to incorrect voltage or wiring, affected by power issues, used in unsuitable water conditions, or installed by an unlicensed person.

Proof of purchase, installer details, electrical licence details, photos, and/or return of the faulty element may be required before a warranty claim is approved.

**Tempering valve information:
Where a hot water system is capable of delivering water above 50°C, a compliant tempering valve must be installed to control the temperature delivered to personal hygiene fixtures such as showers, baths, basins, and bathroom outlets. This helps reduce the risk of scalding and assists with meeting plumbing compliance requirements.

A tempering valve blends hot and cold water to deliver a safer controlled outlet temperature to required fixtures. The hot water unit itself may store water at a higher temperature, but the water delivered to personal hygiene outlets must be controlled where required by plumbing regulations.

If your property already has a suitable, compliant tempering valve installed, your licensed plumber can assess whether it is appropriate for use with the new hot water system. Existing valves may not always be suitable due to age, condition, compliance requirements, valve type, location, or system compatibility.

If a compliant tempering valve is not already installed, or if the existing valve is unsuitable, one must be supplied and installed by a licensed plumber as part of the hot water installation.

Tempering valves are not automatically included with every supply-only hot water unit unless specifically selected, listed as included, or purchased as part of a suitable valve kit. If a tempering valve is required, please purchase the appropriate valve kit with your order or arrange for your licensed installer to supply and install the correct tempering valve on site.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the installation is completed by appropriately licensed trades and that all required valves, fittings, electrical work, plumbing work, and compliance requirements are allowed for as part of the installation.
