Product Information

Full details

This 10L Hyco Speedflow water heater is designed for spaces needing a localized hot water solution, such as cloakrooms and kitchens without nearby central heating. Its key benefit is providing instant hot water for up to two wash basins, ideal for light dishwashing and handwashing. A potential caveat is its 10-liter capacity, which may be insufficient for continuous high-demand use.

Troubleshooting

No hot water is being supplied.

Check the power supply to the unit. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly and not in the frost protection mode. Verify that the water supply is turned on and the unit is not empty. If the issue persists, check for tripped breakers or blown fuses.

Water is not hot enough.

Adjust the external temperature control to a higher setting. Ensure the unit has had sufficient time to heat the water, especially after initial fill or heavy use. Check for any sediment buildup that might be affecting heating efficiency.

Water flow is weak.

Check the water inlet for any blockages or kinks in the pipework. Ensure the incoming water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.5 bar). Clean any aerators or filters on the connected tap.

Unit is leaking.

Immediately turn off the water supply and power to the unit. Inspect all water connections for tightness. If the leak appears to be from the tank itself, contact a qualified professional for assessment and repair or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The SF1012SS is designed for undersink installation. It connects to the mains water supply and requires an electrical connection via its pre-wired cable. Professional installation by a qualified plumber and electrician is recommended to ensure correct connection and compliance with safety standards. Ensure the unit is installed in a frost-free environment, especially if using the frost protection feature.

Compatibility: This water heater is compatible with regular taps and mixer taps. It operates effectively with mains pressure water supply, requiring a minimum pressure of 0.5 bar and a maximum of 4.2 bar. Ensure your plumbing system meets these requirements.

Care: The exterior of the unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Regular checks of water connections and the temperature control are advisable. The stainless steel tank is durable, but it is important to maintain the correct operating temperature to prevent excessive scaling, depending on local water hardness. Ensure the external temperature control is set appropriately.
