Product Information

Full details

The Hyco Speedflow 10L is an ideal hot water solution for offices, shops, and homes that lack access to a central hot water system. It provides reliable, mains-pressure hot water for hand basins and light utility tasks, though users should be aware that it is not intended for high-demand commercial environments like hair salons and may require specific pressure-regulating accessories for optimal installation.

FAQs

Can I use this heater for a hair salon basin?

No, this unit is not suitable for hair wash basins in commercial salons due to the high volume of water required.

Does this unit require a pressure-reducing valve?

It may require one if your mains water pressure is higher than 4.2 bar or lower than 0.5 bar.

What is the frost protection setting?

The frost protection setting keeps the water temperature just above freezing to prevent the unit from icing up in cold environments.

Is this heater suitable for an outdoor sink?

The unit is designed for indoor use. It must be protected from the elements and kept in an environment that meets the operating requirements.

How long does the water take to heat up?

Thanks to the 2kW element, the water heats up quickly, though the exact time depends on the incoming cold water temperature.

Troubleshooting

Water is not heating up

Check that the unit is powered on and the temperature dial is set to a level above the frost protection setting.

Low water flow from the tap

Check for obstructions in the aerator of the tap or verify that the inlet pressure meets the minimum 0.5 bar requirement.

Unit is leaking near connections

Ensure all pipe connections are tightened properly and confirm the mains pressure is not exceeding the 4.2 bar limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Hyco Speedflow must be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations. The unit operates between 0.5 bar and 4.2 bar; if your local water pressure exceeds this range, a pressure-reducing valve is mandatory to prevent damage to the unit.

Always ensure there is adequate ventilation in the cupboard where the heater is mounted. For maintenance, periodically check the unit for any signs of weeping at the connections. While the device is generally low-maintenance, keeping the exterior clean with a damp cloth and ensuring the area around the unit remains dry will prolong its service life. Always consult the included installation manual for specific plumbing requirements regarding the inlet and outlet pipework.
