AquaMAX Hot Water Systems for Brisbane, Gold Coast & Major Australian Metros
AquaMAX hot water systems are Australian-made storage water heaters designed for straightforward residential hot-water replacement and everyday household use.
The current Installed Today AquaMAX range consists of electric storage systems from 125L to 315L, covering smaller households, compact replacement applications and larger family-size hot-water demand.
Installed Today supplies AquaMAX systems across supported mainland Australian markets, with supplied and installed options available in eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.

Who Makes AquaMAX Hot Water Systems?
AquaMAX is part of the Rheem family of hot-water brands.
AquaMAX states that its products are manufactured by Rheem in Rheem-owned and operated factories, with the current Installed Today AquaMAX range also listed as manufactured by Rheem.
The AquaMAX name remains its own hot-water brand, with its own product range and model selection.
125L vs 160L vs 250L vs 315L AquaMAX
| AquaMAX Size | Current Household Starting Point | Best Fit | Main Question |
|---|---|---|---|
| 125L | Around 2 occupants | Units, couples, small homes and lower demand | Will 125L comfortably cover peak use? |
| 160L | Around 3 occupants | Small households and everyday residential use | Standard or squat format? |
| 250L | Around 5 occupants | Standard family-size electric storage | Does the household need more than 250L? |
| 315L | Around 6 occupants | Larger families and higher stored demand | Is the additional capacity genuinely required? |
Occupant figures are a starting point only. Shower habits, bathrooms, bath use, electrical tariff and recovery all affect suitable sizing.
AquaMAX 125L Electric Hot Water System
The AquaMAX 125L is the smallest system in the current Installed Today AquaMAX range.
It is positioned for smaller households, units, couples and properties where hot-water demand is significantly lower than a normal family-sized home.
It can also be a practical like-for-like replacement where an existing 125L system has historically supplied enough hot water.
AquaMAX 160L Electric Hot Water System
AquaMAX currently offers two 160L configurations through Installed Today: a standard upright system and a Squat 160L model.
The standard 160L is currently positioned around three occupants and provides a useful step above the 125L model for small households.
A 160L system can suit townhouses, smaller rentals and residential properties where a 250L family-size cylinder would be unnecessary.
AquaMAX Squat 160L for Height-Restricted Installations
The AquaMAX Squat 160L provides the same broad storage-capacity class as the standard 160L system in a different physical format.
A squat cylinder can be useful where the installation area has more width available but limited vertical clearance.
Always compare the exact height, width, connection locations and access requirements before selecting the squat model purely because the existing system is 160L.
AquaMAX 250L Electric Hot Water for Family Homes
The AquaMAX 250L is the main standard family-size model in the current range.
Installed Today currently positions it around five occupants, making it relevant to family homes, rentals and replacement jobs where moderate-to-strong stored hot-water capacity is required.
The current model is approximately 1395mm high and 640mm wide, so installation space and access should be checked before replacement.
AquaMAX 315L Electric Hot Water for Larger Families
The AquaMAX 315L is the largest system in the current Installed Today AquaMAX range.
It is currently positioned around six occupants and suits larger households with stronger stored hot-water demand.
The live model measures approximately 1640mm high by 640mm wide, making physical clearance, access and replacement pathway important when upgrading from a smaller tank.
Standard AquaMAX 160L vs Squat 160L
Standard 160L
Narrower, taller cylinder format suited to installations where vertical clearance is available.
Squat 160L
Shorter physical format that can suit selected installations where available height is more restricted.
Same Capacity, Different Fit
Choose by installation dimensions, access and connection layout rather than assuming either format provides more stored water.
Current AquaMAX Electric Systems Use Enamel-Lined Steel Cylinders
All five AquaMAX products currently listed by Installed Today use enamel-lined steel cylinders.
Cylinder construction is only one part of hot-water-system selection. Household sizing, warranty, water quality, servicing, installation conditions and the electrical setup also matter.
Do not assume one cylinder material automatically guarantees longer life in every installation.
Current AquaMAX Range Is Made in Australia
Every AquaMAX product currently listed in the Installed Today collection is marked as Made in Australia.
AquaMAX has supplied hot-water systems in Australia since 1988 and is now part of Rheem's family of hot-water brands.
For customers specifically wanting an Australian-made electric storage option, AquaMAX therefore provides a straightforward range to compare.
AquaMAX for Electric Hot Water Replacement
AquaMAX electric storage is particularly suited to customers wanting a familiar like-for-like replacement rather than changing hot-water technology.
If the existing electric storage system has always supplied enough hot water, its capacity provides a useful sizing reference.
The replacement still needs to be checked against the current household, available installation space and electrical setup.
What to Check Before Replacing an AquaMAX
- Existing model and tank size
- Current number of occupants
- Whether the old tank ran out
- Element rating
- Electrical circuit
- Off-peak or continuous tariff
- Tank dimensions
- Connection positions
- Existing valve condition
- Base condition
- Drainage
- Removal and delivery access
AquaMAX Electric Element and Circuit Requirements
AquaMAX models are available with different electrical element configurations depending on the exact product.
For example, the current 160L product is offered with multiple compatible element options, while larger 250L and 315L systems are commonly shown with higher-powered configurations.
The replacement element should suit the existing circuit or any electrical upgrade completed by an appropriately licensed electrician.
AquaMAX Electric Storage and Off-Peak Tariffs
Electric storage systems are commonly used with controlled-load or off-peak arrangements where the property's electrical setup supports them.
Larger tanks can store water heated during the available heating period for use later in the day.
Tariff arrangements vary between properties, so confirm the actual circuit and electricity supply rather than assuming every AquaMAX replacement operates on off-peak power.
AquaMAX 125L vs 160L
The 125L is better aligned with lower-demand households, while the 160L provides additional storage for smaller families or stronger everyday hot-water use.
If the existing 125L tank frequently runs out, stepping up to 160L may be worth considering where the installation space and electrical setup allow.
If the existing 125L system has always provided enough hot water, increasing tank size may provide little practical benefit.
AquaMAX 160L vs 250L
Moving from 160L to 250L is a substantial increase in stored hot-water capacity.
The larger tank is more relevant where household occupancy, shower demand or bathroom use has grown beyond the practical capability of the smaller system.
Check available floor space, tank height, electrical recovery and household demand before automatically upsizing.
AquaMAX 250L vs 315L
The 250L model is positioned as the standard family-size option in the current range, while the 315L provides additional storage for larger households.
Choose 315L when the additional stored capacity provides a real benefit during peak household demand.
Do not select the larger tank purely because more litres appear better. Larger cylinders take more space and can add cost where that extra capacity is unnecessary.
AquaMAX Electric Hot Water for Rental Properties
AquaMAX electric storage can provide a straightforward replacement path for rental properties already using conventional electric hot water.
Property owners can choose from smaller 125L and 160L systems through to family-size 250L and 315L tanks depending on expected occupancy.
Rental sizing should allow for realistic tenant use while avoiding an unnecessarily oversized system.
AquaMAX Electric Storage vs Heat Pump Hot Water
AquaMAX Electric Storage
Familiar conventional storage technology and often the simpler pathway for an existing electric-storage replacement.
Heat Pump
Uses electricity to transfer heat from surrounding air into stored water and can reduce hot-water electricity consumption in suitable applications.
The Decision
Compare upfront cost, electrical use, installation space, airflow, drainage, noise and expected ownership period before changing technology.
Comparing AquaMAX with Other Electric Hot Water Brands
AquaMAX competes directly with other conventional electric-storage systems from brands such as Rheem, Rinnai, Dux and Vulcan.
Compare the individual models on tank size, dimensions, element configuration, connection locations, warranty and replacement suitability rather than choosing solely from the badge on the tank.
AquaMAX Warranty
All five AquaMAX products currently listed by Installed Today show a maximum warranty period of 10 years.
Warranty coverage can differ between the cylinder and other components and can be subject to installation, water quality, servicing and other manufacturer conditions.
Check the exact model's current warranty documentation before purchase rather than assuming every component carries the maximum period.
Check Dimensions Before Choosing an AquaMAX
AquaMAX sizes vary significantly in physical shape.
Current models range from narrower 125L and 160L formats through to wider 250L and 315L family cylinders, while the Squat 160L offers a different height-to-width layout.
Always measure the installation location, access route and service clearance before ordering.

AquaMAX Is Primarily a Straightforward Electric Storage Choice
The current Installed Today AquaMAX range is especially easy to understand: conventional Australian-made electric storage from compact 125L through to larger 315L family capacity.
Compare occupants, bathrooms, shower habits, tank capacity, tariff, element rating, dimensions, warranty, electrical supply, drainage and replacement compatibility before ordering.
If the existing electric-storage system has worked well, matching or carefully adjusting the current capacity usually provides the simplest starting point.
Aquamax Hot Water System FAQs
Straight answers about Aquamax electric hot water system sizes, household suitability, installation and choosing the right model.
What are the most popular Aquamax hot water systems?
Popular Aquamax electric hot water sizes include the Aquamax 315L , Aquamax 250L and Aquamax 125L . The 315L is commonly chosen for larger families, the 250L for family households, and the 125L for smaller homes and lower hot water demand. Aquamax 160L models are also available between these sizes.
What size Aquamax hot water system do I need?
As a practical starting point, Installed Today currently recommends the Aquamax 125L for around 2 people, the standard 160L for around 3 people, the 250L for around 5 people and the 315L for around 6 people. Actual sizing depends on shower length, shower flow rate, bath use, number of bathrooms, tariff, recovery time and when household members use hot water.
Is the Aquamax 125L suitable for 1 or 2 people?
Yes. The Aquamax 125L Electric Hot Water System is one of the smaller Aquamax storage options and is generally best suited to around 1 to 2 people with moderate hot water use. It can be a practical choice for units, townhouses, smaller homes and straightforward replacements where a compact electric storage system already meets household demand.
Is the Aquamax 160L suitable for a small household?
Yes. The Aquamax 160L Electric Hot Water System is commonly suited to a small household of around 2 to 3 people. It provides more stored hot water than a 125L system without moving to the larger 250L family-size tank, making it useful for small homes, townhouses and rental properties with moderate daily demand.
Is the Aquamax 250L a good size for a family?
Yes. The Aquamax 250L Electric Hot Water System is a popular family-size option and is currently recommended by Installed Today for around 5 people. It provides 250 litres of stored hot water and can suit family homes using hot water across showers, kitchens and laundries. Higher-use households may be better suited to the Aquamax 315L.
Is the Aquamax 315L suitable for a large family?
Yes. The Aquamax 315L Electric Hot Water System is the largest Aquamax electric model currently listed by Installed Today and is recommended for around 6 people. Its 315-litre capacity makes it a practical choice for larger families and homes with heavier morning or evening hot water demand.
What is the difference between the Aquamax 160L and Aquamax 160L Squat?
Both store approximately 160 litres, but the tank shape is different. The standard Aquamax 160L is a taller, narrower cylinder at approximately 1610mm high and 480mm wide. The Aquamax 160L Squat is approximately 965mm high and 640mm wide, making it useful where installation height is limited. The squat model is particularly useful for under-house areas, low-clearance locations and replacement spaces that cannot accommodate a tall cylinder.
Can I buy an Aquamax hot water system supply only?
Yes. Every current Aquamax model on this collection can be purchased supply only. Supply only means you are purchasing the hot water system without an Installed Today installation package. Installation labour, valves, disposal, additional plumbing, electrical alterations, drainage work and other site-specific work are not included unless purchased separately.
Can I buy an Aquamax hot water system supplied and installed?
Yes. Supplied and installed Aquamax options are available in eligible installation areas. The Basic Install is designed for a compliant external, ground-level electric storage replacement in the existing location. The product page installation checker should be completed before ordering, because new valves, electrical changes, extra pipework, disposal, restricted access, relocation or compliance work can increase the final installation price.
Are Aquamax electric hot water systems made in Australia and what warranty do they have?
The current Aquamax electric hot water systems listed by Installed Today are made in Australia. Current Aquamax product specifications list a maximum 10-year cylinder warranty, with warranty coverage subject to the applicable Aquamax warranty terms and conditions. Individual product pages should be checked for the exact warranty applying to the selected model.
