Can a plumber install a MEGAFLO hot water system?
This means that your average plumber/heating engineer will not actually be allowed to install one in your home. The other issue – and this is not just Megaflo, but all unvented systems – is the high pressures involved.
What is the expansion vessel for a Megaflo hot water system?
What is the expansion vessel for? When water contained within an unvented cylinder is heated, its volume will increase, thereby causing an increase in system pressure. An expansion relief valve can relieve this pressure by automatically opening at a pre-set rating, allowing water to escape, and the pressure to reduce.
How much does it cost to get a Megaflo system?
If the rate of water coming into your home is not particularly high then unfortunately you will get the situation you are experiencing. You can get the water company to increase the rate at which water enters the home though – it normally costs about £3k to get this done, but this should solve the issue. We have a Megaflo system.
Why does my Megaflo Unvented hot water system drip?
Either method allows the incompressible water to expand and compress the air until an equalisation of pressure occurs. If water regularly drips through the tundish whilst the water is being heated, this may indicate faulty or undersized expansion volume. (top) 8. Does my Megaflo unvented System need to be serviced?

If you need more help choosing or want us to install your Megaflow system or Combi boiler, then contact us. We cover locations in and around Watford, London, Middlesex and Hertfordshire.
Where is the pressure relief valve on a MEGAFLO hot water system?
This valve is often combined with the Pressure Reducing Valve to form a single inlet control device. A Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve, fitted near the top of the cylinder, is required to allow water to be discharged when store temperatures or pressures start approaching unsafe levels.
How does a megaflow water tank heat water?
It’s a water tank or cylinder made of stainless steel that heats water. Water from the mains feeds into the cylinder and is kept at mains pressure. This is why it’s called ‘unvented’. The result is you get a high pressure supply of hot water. The Megaflow heats the water within it. There’s two ways it can heat the water:
