Saxon, if you are a Queenslander, you know what it is. A word that just says hot water. Saxon hot water and formally Peter Sachs Industries were a formidable force in Queensland hot water for over 100 years until their eventual down fall in 2011 becoming an unused name owned by Rheem.
Saxon hot water produced a wide range of systems to suit every household from 90 to 400l in the CopperFlow and TrueFlow electric ranges, the Saxon Super Flow Heat Pump and Saxon SolarStar solar. Saxon was famous for their simple setup. Big jug of water, heat supply and a coil sending water through the unit. Connections were a breeze for plumbers with minimal plumbing required and a 30minute installation. That design due to new efficiency regulations did not lend itself well to meeting legal requirements and did help bring an end to Saxon hot water systems.
The Saxon CopperFlow 140L was a staple in three-bedroom homes across Southeast Queensland suitable for 3 to 4-people on an off-peak tariff due to the high running temperature and low outlet flow rate. See our range of most popular replacement options right here and our full range of systems can also be adapted to suit when an upgrade is required.
