What it is
Hot water at mains pressure.
A Megaflo is an unvented hot-water cylinder. It heats, stores and delivers water at mains pressure, so more than one shower, bath or tap can run at the same time. It replaces the old-style hot-water tank with one floor-standing unit that can go in a variety of places around the home.
Why people choose one
What a Megaflo cylinder offers.
As described by Megaflo, the manufacturer.
Strong showers, no pump
Hot water performance without shower pumps or tanks, even at low pressures.
Stainless steel
Made from high-grade duplex stainless steel, which resists corrosion.
Holds its heat
60mm of injected foam insulation, for heat retention and energy efficiency.
Quick to reheat
Indirect models use a coil-in-coil heat exchanger for fast recovery times.
Tidy to fit
An internal expansion system saves space, with pre-plumbed and pre-wired options.
Annual service
A Megaflo needs a service every 12 months.
An unvented cylinder stores water in a sealed vessel under pressure and at high temperature, so it needs a service every year, just like your gas boiler. Among other things, the service tests the safety valves that operate if there is a fault.
- Peace of mind that the cylinder is safe
- Keeps it working efficiently and less likely to break down
- May reduce the energy it uses
- Keeps the manufacturer’s warranty valid
Who can fit one
Unvented cylinders must be fitted by someone with the G3 unvented hot water qualification. A qualified installer holds a BPEC Unvented G3 certificate: ask to see it.
