Saxon-Solar Hot Water
without Solar Panels™
| The Saxon SolarStar Heat Pump is one of the cheapest and most energy efficient water heating systems. The efficient design of the Saxon SolarStar Heat Pump does not rely on direct sunlight for its operation. Heat energy is drawn from the air and this allows hot water to be produced both day and night in all seasons of the year. The Saxon SolarStar Heat Pump is an ideal choice for solar water heating. |
 |
- Slash your hot water energy use.
- Solar heating without the need for solar panels i.e. refrigerant gas collects heat from the surrounding air heated by the sun
- Operates in all weather conditions - Rain, Hail or Sunshine
- Saves 3,000 litres of water by not discharging water to drain from expansion relief valves
- Long Life Recyclable Copper Tank
- Less Maintenance with fewer valves and no anodes
- Quieter by design because noise is dispersed at ground level compared to heat pumps that radiate noise above ground level.
- Split system allows for a more flexible installation. Heat Pump and Water Heater Cylinder can be installed inside or outside, or any combination for both components.
- Saxon SolarStar Heat Pumps can be installed internally in an area equivalent to a double garage. Cold air is blown from the heat pump fan.
- Safer by design – the tank is not pressurised
How it works
Refrigerant runs through a fan coil (the evaporator) and because the refrigerant is colder than air, it collects heat energy from the air, which vaporizes the refrigerant. This vapor is then compressed, raising its pressure and temperature. The high temperature vapor is passed through coils of copper tube immersed in the water heater tank. As the refrigerant vapor condenses back into its liquid form, it gives off its heat to the stored water.
It's not complex
The Saxon SolarStar Heat Pump is easy to install, similar to a conventional electric water heater. The unit has the same components and works much in the same way as a normal household reverse cycle air conditioner. The only difference is that the heat pump produces heat rather than cold. Unlike a conventional solar water heater it can produce hot water both day and night, as well as cloudy days when the sun doesn't shine. Your Saxon dealer will also help you claim RECS and Government rebates applicable to your energy efficient water heater.
What size
There are two models of Saxon SolarStar Heat Pumps - 270 litres and 400 litres. Please refer to the Saxon SolarStar Heat Pump Product Brochure to help you choose the model that best suits your needs.
Choosing a Saxon SolarStar Heat Pump can save you up to a massive 70% off your hot water energy usage as well as significantly reducing greenhouse emissions.

Superflow Heat Pump
Saxon Superflow Water Heaters are lower cost, energy efficient, environmentally friendly heating systems.
Cleverly using hot gases and air-conditioning principles, heat energy is captured from the surrounding air allowing the production of hot water during the day and night in all seasons and weather conditions.
Separate mounting of tank & compressor unit makes the Saxon Water Heater quiet in operation,
easy to install and service and suitable for installations in more locations with less effort.
An ideal energy efficient alternative to electric water heaters and installation of solar water heaters with roof panels.
The Superflow Heat Pump is one of the most cost effective and long life water heaters for today’s Australian household environments.
Beat rising electricity costs, the Superflow Heat Pump is ideal for large families, supplying hot water from multiple taps assisting in reducing your hot water energy use.
The Superflow has proven performance and is in many Australian homes and on average is 3 times more efficient than electric water heaters.
For better performance the Superflow Heat Pump is insulated with CFC Free insulation for maximum thermal efficiency.
The Superflow Heat Pump is safe for our environment and greatly reduces global warming potential impacts and carbon footprint.
The Superflow Heat Pump construction is such that it is easier to transport, install & maintain, a big bonus is there is no electric boost element Saxon the manufacturers of The Superflow Heat Pump have been creating and producing water heaters for over 80 years.
