Product Information

Full details

The Hyco Speedflow 15L unvented water heater is an ideal solution for offices, shops, and kitchenettes that lack a central hot water supply. It provides mains-pressure hot water for handwashing and light cleaning tasks through a compact, under-sink design. While it is highly efficient and user-friendly, users should note that the 15-litre capacity is best suited for point-of-use applications rather than high-demand commercial laundry or bathroom setups.

FAQs

Does this unit require a dedicated electrical circuit?

Yes, as it is a 1.2kW appliance, it should be connected in accordance with local electrical regulations, often via a fused spur.

Can I use this with any tap?

Yes, it is compatible with standard taps as well as mixer taps.

What is the purpose of the frost protection setting?

It prevents the water inside the tank from freezing if the ambient temperature drops significantly, protecting the tank from damage.

How long does it take to heat up?

Heat-up time depends on the incoming cold water temperature and the desired output temperature setting.

Is this suitable for a shower?

No, a 15-litre unit does not have the capacity to sustain a shower; it is intended for handwashing and light utility cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Water is not heating up

Verify the unit is receiving power and ensure the thermostat is not set too low or in frost protection mode.

Low water flow rate

Check the inlet valve to ensure it is fully open and inspect the tap aerator for mineral buildup.

Leaking from the relief valve

This is often normal during heating cycles as water expands. If it leaks constantly, contact a technician to inspect the expansion relief.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SF1512SS should be handled by a qualified professional to ensure compliance with local plumbing and electrical regulations. The unit is designed for under-sink mounting; ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the weight of the tank when fully filled with water.

Compatibility Requirements:

  • Compatible with most standard tapware and mixer taps.
  • Must be connected to a cold mains supply.
  • Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and service access.

Care Instructions:
