Harlequin HeatStream 150L Direct Electric Thermal Store

Harlequin HeatStream 150L Direct Electric Thermal Store

The Harlequin HeatStream 150 Direct (model HS150E) is a 150-litre open-vented thermal store designed to deliver mains-pressurised hot water in flats, apartments and electrically heated properties — without the complexity or regulatory burden of a traditional unvented cylinder. Because it operates on the open-vented thermal store principle, it is not subject to Part G of the Building Regulations in the UK and requires no G3 qualification for installation. With an ErP 'B' energy rating and a compact 520 mm × 520 mm square footprint, it is the ideal upgrade for modern airing cupboards and new-build apartments alike.

Open-Vented Design — No Part G Compliance Required: Unlike traditional unvented hot water cylinders, the HeatStream 150 Direct is open-vented. This means there is no requirement for an expansion vessel, T&P relief valve or mandatory annual safety inspection — dramatically simplifying installation and ongoing ownership.
Key Features
🔵 No Part G / No G3 Qualification

Open-vented operation means the unit bypasses Part G of the Building Regulations. Any competent heating engineer can install it — no G3 qualification, no expansion vessel, no T&P relief valve needed.

⚡ Dual Immersion Heater — Fast Boost

Supplied with a 3 kW + 3 kW dual-element immersion heater. The short boost element delivers 50 litres of hot water in just 20 minutes, perfect for morning demand peaks or off-peak tariff charging strategies.

☀️ Solar PV & Off-Peak Tariff Ready

Designed to maximise off-peak electricity tariffs and solar PV surplus energy. The large thermal mass stores cheap-rate energy efficiently, reducing running costs over time.

📐 Compact 520 × 520 mm Footprint

The square 520 × 520 mm base fits through a standard doorway and sits comfortably in a small airing cupboard. At 1,315 mm tall, it stores significantly more hot water within a smaller footprint than equivalent cylinders.

🛡️ Durable Non-Corrosive Construction

Outer shell in tough polyethylene resists transport damage; the inner tank is non-corrosive polypropylene, making it suitable even in hard or poor-quality water areas. Stainless steel corrugated coils deliver fast heat transfer.

🔧 Minimal Maintenance

Maintenance consists of a 6-monthly water top-up via the filling loop — no annual safety inspection is required. All connections are on top of the unit, simplifying installation and any future servicing visits.

🦠 Reduced Legionella Risk

The thermostatic mixing valve (supplied) is set nominally to 45°C for safe delivery, while the long immersion heater can raise store temperatures to pasteurise against Legionella risk when required.

🏗️ Ideal for New Builds & Flats

Specifically engineered for apartments, flats, houses and bungalows. The simple overfill pipe can run externally or to an internal low-temperature waste — no specialist discharge arrangement required.

Installation Note: The HeatStream 150 Direct requires an overfill connection — either to an external pipe or to a low-temperature internal waste pipe. Models with an internal overfill (SOJ variants) require no external connection. A minimum mains supply of 12 l/min at 1 bar dynamic pressure is recommended for optimum performance. Incoming supply pressure must not exceed 3 bar without a pressure reducing valve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the HeatStream 150 Direct require a G3-qualified installer?
No. Because the HeatStream 150 Direct is an open-vented thermal store rather than a traditional unvented cylinder, it does not require a G3-qualified engineer and is exempt from the unvented discharge requirements of Part G of the Building Regulations. Any competent heating technician can install it.
How much hot water can the HS150E deliver before it needs to reheat?
At a draw-off rate of 15 l/min with a store temperature of 60°C, the HS150E delivers 113 litres of usable hot water without reheating. At 70°C store temperature this rises to 180 litres. The boost immersion element can provide an additional 50 litres within 20 minutes.
Can the HeatStream 150 Direct use solar PV or an off-peak electricity tariff?
Yes — this is one of its key strengths. The large thermal mass is ideal for storing energy from solar PV surplus or overnight off-peak electricity tariffs (such as Agile or Economy 7), reducing the cost of heating hot water significantly over time.
What maintenance does the HeatStream 150 require?
Maintenance is minimal: the internal water level should be topped up via the filling loop every 6 months. No annual safety inspection is required. There are very few spare parts and no expansion vessel or T&P valve to service.
Will the HeatStream 150 Direct fit in a standard airing cupboard?
Yes. The 520 × 520 mm square footprint is specifically designed to fit through a standard door opening and into the smaller airing cupboards common in new-build flats and apartments. At 1,315 mm tall, it is a practical choice where ceiling height is not restricted.
Is the HeatStream 150 Direct suitable for hard water areas?
Yes. The non-corrosive polypropylene inner tank and stainless steel coils are well-suited to challenging water quality. The installation manual specifies a maximum total hardness of 200 mg/litre and chloride content below 300 mg/litre; where water exceeds this, appropriate treatment should be installed upstream.
