The Hyco Powerflow Smart Unvented Multipoint Water Heater (PF80S) is an efficient, 80-liter, 3kW water heating solution ideal for domestic and light commercial settings requiring hot water at multiple points. Its key benefit is providing mains pressure hot water with smart energy-saving modes and a slimline design. A potential caveat is its 3kW element, which may require sufficient electrical supply for rapid heating demands. This unit features a glass-lined tank, digital controls, and patented technology to maximize hot water availability.

Yes, it can be used with regular taps, including mixer taps.
An unvented system does not require a vent pipe to the atmosphere. It operates under mains water pressure and requires specific safety devices, typically installed by a qualified professional.
These modes allow you to optimize energy usage. 'Eco' typically heats to a lower temperature (e.g., 50°C), 'Standard' heats to a set temperature, and 'Smart' may learn usage patterns to heat water efficiently.
It is not always mandatory but is highly recommended for applications where precise temperature control is needed or for safety, such as in healthcare settings or homes with young children, to prevent scalding.
The ERP rating for the 50, 80, and 100L models, including the PF80S, is B.
The unit has a 3.0 kW heating element.
Check the power supply to the unit. Ensure the thermostat is set correctly. The heating element or thermostat may require inspection by a qualified technician. Verify the patented anti-mixing technology is functioning as expected.
Adjust the external electronic temperature control. If using an optional mixing valve, ensure it is set correctly. If the issue persists, a technician should check the thermostat calibration.
Some expansion and contraction noises are normal. However, persistent loud noises could indicate scale buildup or a fault with the heating element. Professional servicing may be required.
Immediately turn off the water supply and power to the heater. Inspect all connections for tightness. If the leak is from the tank itself, contact the manufacturer or a qualified installer for repair or replacement.
Setup:
This is an unvented water heater and requires installation by a qualified professional plumber or heating engineer. The unit is designed for wall mounting with base connections. It comes pre-wired with a 1.5m cable for electrical connection. Ensure the electrical circuit can support the 3.0 kW heating element.
Compatibility:
The Powerflow Smart can be used with regular taps, including mixer taps. An unvented accessory kit is included. For applications where scald protection is critical, such as in healthcare environments or where children may use the water, an optional thermostatic mixing valve is available and recommended.
Care:
Regular maintenance by a qualified professional is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This typically includes checking the pressure relief valve, anode, and heating elements. The exterior of the unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
