FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the SystemReady design?

The SystemReady design means the cylinder comes pre-plumbed, significantly reducing installation time and complexity for the installer.

Is this cylinder suitable for all types of boilers?

No, this indirect unvented cylinder is specifically designed for use with system boilers. It is not typically suitable for combi boilers or conventional boilers without modifications.

What is the capacity of this specific model?

This model, the 125SB, has a capacity of 125 litres.

Do I need special qualifications to install this cylinder?

Yes, installation of unvented hot water cylinders must be carried out by a qualified installer holding a recognized unvented hot water systems qualification.

How long does it take to heat the water?

Heating time depends on the primary heat source (system boiler) and the 3kW immersion heater. Consult the product manual for specific recovery times under different conditions.

What maintenance is required?

Regular visual inspections are recommended. Periodic checks of the T&P valve by a qualified professional are important. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for detailed care instructions.

Can this cylinder be used with underfloor heating?

While primarily designed for central heating systems, its compatibility with underfloor heating would depend on the specific setup and integration with the system boiler. Consult your installer for suitability.

Troubleshooting

No hot water or insufficient hot water

Check the primary circuit from the system boiler is functioning correctly. Verify the 3kW immersion heater is powered and switched on if used for supplementary heating. Ensure the thermostat is set correctly. Check for any blockages in the hot water draw-off.

Water too hot or not hot enough

Adjust the thermostat on the cylinder or the boiler's output temperature. If using an external mixing valve, check its settings. Ensure the primary flow rate from the boiler is adequate.

Leaking from connections or the unit

Immediately turn off the water supply to the cylinder and contact a qualified installer. Do not attempt to repair leaks yourself. Check that all connections are secure and that the cylinder itself is not damaged.

Strange noises (e.g., banging, whistling)

This could indicate expansion issues, high water velocity, or scale build-up. Have a qualified installer check the system for correct pipe sizing, flow rates, and potential issues with the expansion vessel or safety valves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces installation time due to pre-plumbed design.
  • Enhances the reliability and integrity of central heating systems.
  • Efficient hot water delivery for typical household use.
  • Suitable for use with system boilers.
  • High-quality construction minimizes callbacks.

Cons

  • 125-litre capacity might be too small for very large households with high simultaneous hot water demand.
  • Requires a compatible system boiler for optimal performance.
  • Installation requires an unvented hot water system qualification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Megaflo Eco SystemReady cylinder is designed for ease of installation with its pre-plumbed connections. However, installation must be carried out by a qualified installer holding an unvented hot water systems qualification. Ensure the cylinder is installed on a solid, level floor and that all pipework and electrical connections are made according to the manufacturer's instructions and local building regulations.

Compatibility: This indirect unvented cylinder is specifically designed for use with system boilers. It requires a suitable power supply for the 3kW immersion heater and must be integrated into an open-vented or sealed central heating system. Ensure your existing system can accommodate an unvented cylinder and its associated safety controls.

Care: Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. Visually inspect the unit periodically. For detailed cleaning instructions, refer to the manufacturer's manual. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Periodically check the temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve to ensure it is free from scale and operates correctly; this should be done by a qualified professional.
