FAQs
What is a vented water heater?
A vented water heater operates at low pressure and must be used with a vented (gravity fed) tap. The water is heated by the unit and then flows to the open-mouthed tap.
Can I use this with a standard mixer tap?
No, this Streamline 10 model MUST be used in conjunction with vented taps only. It is not compatible with unvented or mains pressure systems.
How long does it take to heat the water?
The time required to heat the 10-litre capacity depends on the initial temperature of the water and the 1kW element's performance. Allow sufficient time for the first heating cycle and for reheating after significant use.
What are the dimensions of the unit?
The dimensions are Height 477 mm x Width 290 mm x Depth 178 mm.
Is this suitable for a shower?
No, this unit is designed for small, localized hot water needs like handwashing in sinks. It does not have the capacity or flow rate for a shower.
What maintenance does it require?
Regular cleaning of the exterior with a damp cloth is recommended. Periodic checks of connections and professional servicing as per the manufacturer's guidelines will ensure optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
No hot water at the tap
Check the power supply to the heater. Ensure the cold water inlet valve is open. Verify that the unit has heated adequately (allow time for initial heating). Confirm the vented tap is functioning correctly.
Water is not hot enough
Allow more time for the heater to reach temperature, especially after heavy use. Check thermostat settings if adjustable (refer to manufacturer manual). Ensure the 1kW element is functioning correctly.
Leaking from the unit
Turn off the water supply and power immediately. Inspect all pipe connections for tightness. If the leak persists, contact a qualified installer for assessment.
Slow water flow
Check the cold water inlet for any blockages. Inspect the vented tap for sediment or limescale buildup.
