To re-charge the air gap please use the following simple instructions:

  • Turn off the mains cold water supply to the Megaflo
  • Open the lowest hot tap in the property
  • Hold open the temperature / pressure relief valve until the gurgling noise stops and water stops running from the tap and valve
  • Close the temperature / pressure relief valve; open the mains cold water supply to the Megaflo. When water flows from the hot tap close the tap
  • If water continues to drop or flow from the overflow the Megaflo requires attention. Switch off heat soures (immersion heaters and boiler), DO NOT turn off water supply. Contact a competent install for advice. Watch a video that demonstrates who to replenish the air-gap on a Megaflo cylinder.

Yes you can providing the pipework is suitably rated to the application.

You can use a water softener with a Megaflo if you so wish but this must not be detrimental to the incoming flow rate, and the softened water must not exceed a chloride value of 250 mg/litre.

A Megaflo can be sited anywhere in your property but the installation of the discharge pipework has to be taken in to account when deciding on where to install the unit.

Yes, you can use a timer for this and it can be ordered as an accessory to the Supreme, download the Supreme brochure for more information.

No, the unit is designed to work with one tap outlet only.

This would depend on the type of application the unit is being used for.  Please contact our technical team on +44 (0)344 871 1535 for further details.

No, this would not apply to building regulations and goes against the manufacturers installation instructions which would invalidate your warranty.

We would always recommend a suitably qualified engineer carries out any necessary servicing and repairs on your unvented system. Contact us for more information.

You will need a plumber or heating installer who is fully qualified and competent to install unvented products. In England and Wales, check your installer has a G3 unvented qualification - they will have a registration card to prove they have obtained the necessary qualifications. The equivalent for Scotland is P3 and for Northern Ireland it is P5.
