Electric & Gas Boosted Sunpro Systems

Whereas the electric boosted model relies on electricity as it is back up source of hot water, the 2nd model combines a tank with a continuous Gas Dux Endurance system, providing a cheap form of continuous gas boosted back up (should the sun not be available to provide its solar energy).

These models are available in a range of tank sizes and panel configurations to suit every home. The Dux Sunpro Gas boosted model is suitable for (and comes in) both LPG and natural gas. It is more environmentally friendly than its electric counterpart, having as its advantage its ability to heat water only when needed, therefore saving the householder on energy bills.
