Cut your hot water bill by up to 30% — without replacing the tank.
Aquorix retrofits onto the water heater you already own. Learns when you actually use hot water, only heats during those windows, sends you alerts if anything leaks. Installs in about 30 minutes with a screwdriver.
A small box. Two sensors. Big change in your hydro bill.
Aquorix sits between your water heater and its power source. It learns your household's hot water patterns and only heats when you'll actually use the water — not at 3am when nobody needs it.
Install in about half an hour
Cut power to your tank. Strap the controller to the side. Clip the two temperature sensors onto the hot and cold pipes. Plug it in. Pair to wifi via the app. Done.
Aquorix learns your routine
Over the first couple of weeks the controller maps when your household actually pulls hot water. The app shows you a live tank fill graph that updates in real time.
Only heat when you'll use it
From there it's automatic. The tank stays warm for showers, dinner clean-up, laundry. It coasts the rest of the time. If you're on time-of-use rates, it heats during the cheap window.
Everything a smart water heater does. Without buying a smart water heater.
A single device that turns your existing tank into a connected, energy-aware appliance. No plumbing changes, no contractor required, no recurring fees.
Time-of-Use Optimization
Automatically heats during off-peak rate windows and coasts during peak pricing. Built-in support for major Canadian utility TOU plans.
Vacation Mode
Tap one button to pause heating while you're away. Comes back to temperature in about 20 minutes when you're home.
Live Energy Dashboard
See exactly how much energy your tank is using and when. Get savings recommendations specific to your household pattern.
Leak Detection (Included)
Optional moisture sensor ships in the box. If it detects a leak around the tank, you get an instant phone alert. One catch saves a basement flood.
Overheating Shutoff
Built-in safety: if the tank's internal thermostat fails and water starts overheating, Aquorix cuts power before things get dangerous.
Voice Control
Works with Amazon Alexa for voice commands and routines. Free Cielo Home–style app for iOS and Android. No subscription, ever.
Designed for the tank you already have.
Aquorix is built for standard storage-tank water heaters — the most common type across Canada. Check the list before ordering. If you've already upgraded to a heat pump or tankless model, you don't need this.
Check Full CompatibilityThree reasons people bolt one on their tank.
If you have a standard storage tank, here's what Aquorix actually does for you in practice. Skip it if you're already on a heat pump or tankless system.
Stop heating water at 3am for nobody.
Shift heating into your cheap-power window.
Catch a leak before the basement floods.
Frequently asked questions.
If you don't find your answer here, reach out to Aquorix support directly through their site.
Aquorix works with most standard storage-tank water heaters under 120 gallons — the type found in the vast majority of Canadian homes. It supports electric tanks fully, and most modern gas tanks with electronic ignition (both atmospheric and power-vented). It does not work with tankless, heat pump, or combi-boiler systems.
Based on internal testing and energy modeling, Aquorix saves 10–30% on water heating energy. The exact figure depends on your household routine, water heater age and efficiency, electricity or gas rate, and whether you have time-of-use pricing. Households with TOU plans tend to see the higher end of that range.
For electric water heaters, no — installation is rated for "handy DIYer" level. If you're comfortable replacing a light fixture, you can install Aquorix. For gas water heaters with older mechanical valves, professional installation is recommended. The product page has a full compatibility checker before you order.
Yes. Aquorix ships to the U.S., Canada, and Bermuda. There's a Canada-specific SKU (AQ-CA-E100 for electric, AQ-CA-G100 for gas) so you're getting a model designed for the Canadian market, not a US grey-market import.
No. One-time purchase, lifetime access to the app and cloud features. No recurring fees, no subscription tier, no premium features locked behind a paywall.
Standard manufacturer warranty plus a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you install it and it doesn't work for your setup or you don't see savings, you can return it for a full refund within 60 days.
Stop heating water at 3am for nobody.
$149, 60-day guarantee, ships within 5 business days. Pays itself off in about 14 months on the average household.
