Product Information

Full details

The Heatrae Sadia Hotflo 10 Litre Instant Water Heater is an ideal solution for homeowners and facility managers seeking a reliable, point-of-use hot water supply in kitchens, cloakrooms, or utility areas. By providing on-demand heating in a compact footprint, it eliminates the need for long pipe runs from a main boiler; however, users should note that the 10-litre capacity is best suited for low-to-moderate demand environments rather than high-flow applications.

FAQs

Is this heater suitable for a shower?

No, this 10-litre unit is intended for point-of-use handwashing or light kitchen tasks and does not have the capacity required for a shower.

Does it need to be installed by a professional?

Yes, because this is an unvented water heater involving mains pressure, it must be installed by a qualified plumber to comply with building regulations.

Can it supply multiple taps?

It is designed as a point-of-use heater, typically intended to serve one tap or a single sink area efficiently.

What is the purpose of the Unvented Kit C?

The kit provides essential safety devices, including pressure relief valves, to safely manage the expansion of water during the heating process.

How long does it take to heat up?

The heat-up time depends on the incoming water temperature, but it is engineered for rapid recovery to ensure hot water is available when needed.

Troubleshooting

Water is not reaching temperature

Check that the electrical power supply is active and the thermostat is set to the correct operating temperature.

Low water pressure at the tap

Inspect the inlet filters for blockages and ensure the isolation valves are fully open.

Water dripping from the relief valve

This is often normal during the heat-up cycle; however, if it continues excessively, contact a professional to inspect the expansion relief valve.
