This guide is for homeowners and installers seeking a reliable, high-performance hot water solution. The Heatrae Sadia Megaflo Eco 70I provides an abundant supply of hot water with superior energy efficiency thanks to its advanced insulation. A potential consideration is its 70-litre capacity, which may be insufficient for very large households or high-demand situations. This indirect unvented cylinder is designed for efficient heating and consistent hot water delivery.

An 'indirect' cylinder is heated by an external source, like a boiler, via an internal coil. 'Unvented' means it operates directly from the mains water pressure without needing a cold water feed and vent pipe from the loft, simplifying installation and improving performance.
Heatrae Sadia typically provides a standard guarantee of quality, performance, efficiency, and reliability. Specific warranty details should be confirmed at the point of purchase or via the official Heatrae Sadia documentation.
Heating time depends on the heat output of your boiler or primary heat source. A sufficiently powerful source can heat the 70-litre capacity relatively quickly, typically within an hour for a significant temperature rise.
The 70-litre capacity is generally suitable for 2-3 bedroom homes or households with moderate hot water needs. For larger families or homes with multiple bathrooms and high simultaneous demand, larger capacity models (125L+) are recommended.
No, due to the unvented nature of the system, installation must be performed by a G3-certified professional installer to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
The dimensions of the Heatrae Sadia Megaflo Eco 70I are Height 802 mm and Width 579 mm.
Check the primary heat source (e.g., boiler) is functioning correctly. Ensure the cylinder thermostat is set to the appropriate temperature. Verify that the heat exchanger or primary circuit is not blocked or malfunctioning.
Adjust the cylinder thermostat. If water is consistently too hot, the thermostat may be faulty. If too cold, ensure the heat source is adequate and the cylinder is properly insulated.
Immediately turn off the water supply and contact a qualified G3 installer. Do not attempt to repair yourself. Leaks can occur at connections or from the vessel itself.
Noises such as banging or whistling can indicate scale build-up or issues with water flow. Have the system inspected by a qualified engineer.
Setup:
Installation of the Heatrae Sadia Megaflo Eco 70I must be carried out by a qualified G3-certified installer due to its unvented nature. This involves connecting it to your central heating system (for indirect heating) and ensuring all safety devices are correctly fitted and commissioned.
Compatibility:
This indirect cylinder is compatible with various heat sources, including gas boilers, oil boilers, and system boilers. Ensure your chosen heat source has sufficient output to heat the 70-litre capacity effectively.
Care:
Regular maintenance by a qualified engineer is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Primarily, care involves checking safety valves and the overall system. Cleaning the exterior can be done with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
