⚠ Installer Requirement
Megaflo Eco Indirect cylinders must be installed and commissioned by a G3 competent person (or equivalent under Scottish / Northern Irish Building Regulations). All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in line with current IET Wiring Regulations. The Benchmark commissioning checklist must be completed and left with the householder.
ℹ Indirect (boiler-fed) models
These cylinders are heated primarily by your gas, oil, or heat-pump boiler via the internal coil. A single 3 kW backup immersion heater is included for off-peak electricity tariffs or when the boiler is unavailable. They are not suitable for use with solid-fuel boilers or gravity-circulation primaries unless additional safety measures are fitted. If you need electric-only heating, please see our Megaflo Eco Direct range.
KEY FEATURES
Coil-in-Coil Heat Exchanger

The Megaflo Eco Indirect's unique coil-in-coil heat exchanger maximises contact surface area between the primary circuit and stored water, delivering exceptionally fast heat-up and recovery times — as quick as 17 minutes for the 70i at 15 l/min primary flow — without the need for a high-volume boiler output.

Internal Expansion — No External Vessel

An internal floating-baffle air-gap system accommodates all domestic hot water expansion within the cylinder itself. No external expansion vessel is required for the DHW circuit, reducing pipework complexity and saving installation space — note that the primary heating circuit will still require its own expansion vessel if running a sealed system.

Duplex Stainless Steel Construction

Every Megaflo Eco Indirect is fabricated from high-grade duplex stainless steel, pressure-tested to 15 bar. The alloy combines superior corrosion resistance with a high strength-to-weight ratio — the basis for Heatrae Sadia's lifetime guarantee on the inner tank in domestic installations.

Mains-Pressure Delivery — No Pump Needed

Fed directly from the cold-water mains, the Megaflo Eco Indirect delivers up to 76 litres per minute at 3 bar and 45 litres per minute at 1 bar — providing powerful, simultaneous hot water to multiple outlets without shower pumps or loft tanks. Consistent pressure on both hot and cold services is ideal for thermostatic shower valves.

60 mm CFC/HCFC-Free Insulation

60 mm of fire-retardant polyurethane foam (zero ozone depletion, GWP = 3.1) with an insulated T&P valve delivers excellent standing heat-loss performance — from 0.91 kWh/24 h (70i) to 1.69 kWh/24 h (300i) — exceeding Building Regulations Part L requirements across the range.

Backup Immersion & Full Control Pack

A factory-fitted single 3 kW Incoloy 825 alloy-sheathed immersion heater with manual-reset thermal cut-out provides electric backup. The cylinder ships complete with an additional thermostat and thermal cut-out, 22 mm 2-port motorised valve, and wiring centre — fully pre-wired and ready for connection to a system or heat-only boiler.

Full Safety Kit Supplied as Standard

Every model includes a complete cold-water inlet control kit (3 bar PRV · 8 bar pressure relief valve · ¼-turn isolator · line strainer · non-return valve · drain cock), a factory-fitted 90 °C / 10 bar T&P relief valve, tundish, and T&P insulation kit — plus a ½" BSP secondary return tapping (125i and above) for systems requiring circulation.

ErP-Rated & Regulation-Compliant

The Megaflo Eco Indirect range achieves an ErP Energy Efficiency Class B (70i–210i) or Class C (250i–300i), complies with Building Regulations Parts G and L, and holds Kiwa certification No. 1608707.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between the Megaflo Eco Indirect and the Megaflo Eco Direct?
The Indirect models (70i–300i) are heated primarily by a boiler via an internal coil, with a single 3 kW backup immersion heater. They are the right choice if you have a gas, oil, or heat-pump boiler and want to benefit from faster recovery times and lower running costs. The Direct models (70D–300DD) rely exclusively on electric immersion heaters (up to 2 × 3 kW) and suit all-electric homes or properties without a boiler.
Is a separate expansion vessel needed for the DHW circuit?
No — the Megaflo Eco Indirect's internal floating-baffle air-gap system accommodates domestic hot water expansion within the cylinder, so no external DHW expansion vessel is required. However, if you are running a sealed primary heating circuit, you must fit a separate primary-circuit expansion vessel — this is not accommodated within the cylinder and is a separate installation requirement governed by your boiler manufacturer's instructions.
Is the Megaflo Eco Indirect compatible with a heat pump?
The Megaflo Eco Indirect can be connected to a heat pump as the primary heat source, though the coil recovery performance is specified at 15 l/min primary flow at 80 °C — typical of gas and oil boilers. Heat pumps typically operate at lower flow temperatures (35–55 °C) and higher flow rates. For dedicated heat-pump applications, Heatrae Sadia recommend evaluating their larger-coil models or heat-pump-specific cylinders to ensure adequate energy transfer. Contact us for specification advice.
What boilers is the Megaflo Eco Indirect compatible with?
The Megaflo Eco Indirect is designed for use with heat-only (regular) boilers and system boilers — i.e. boilers whose output is fully under thermostatic control. It is not suitable for use with solid-fuel boilers or any boiler without effective thermostatic energy-input control, or with gravity-circulation primaries, unless additional safety measures are installed. It is also incompatible with combination (combi) boilers, which have no cylinder flow.
Who must install a Megaflo Eco Indirect, and what regulations apply?
Installation must be carried out by a G3 Competent Person (England & Wales), under Building Warrant (Scotland), or to Building Regulation P5 (Northern Ireland). Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician to IET Wiring Regulations. The installer must complete the Benchmark commissioning checklist and leave the product guide with the householder. Compliance with Building Regulations Parts G and L, and the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations is mandatory.
What is the guarantee on the Megaflo Eco Indirect?
Heatrae Sadia provide a lifetime guarantee on the inner duplex stainless steel tank for domestic first-owner installations (transferring to a 30-year warranty for subsequent owners). All other components — immersion heater, valves, motorised valve, wiring centre — carry a 2-year warranty. Warranty validity requires correct installation, annual servicing, and a completed Benchmark checklist.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between the Megaflo Eco Indirect and the Megaflo Eco Direct?
The Indirect models (70i–300i) are heated primarily by a boiler via an internal coil, with a single 3 kW backup immersion heater. They are the right choice if you have a gas, oil, or heat-pump boiler and want to benefit from faster recovery times and lower running costs. The Direct models (70D–300DD) rely exclusively on electric immersion heaters (up to 2 × 3 kW) and suit all-electric homes or properties without a boiler.
Is a separate expansion vessel needed for the DHW circuit?
No — the Megaflo Eco Indirect's internal floating-baffle air-gap system accommodates domestic hot water expansion within the cylinder, so no external DHW expansion vessel is required. However, if you are running a sealed primary heating circuit, you must fit a separate primary-circuit expansion vessel — this is not accommodated within the cylinder and is a separate installation requirement governed by your boiler manufacturer's instructions.
Is the Megaflo Eco Indirect compatible with a heat pump?
The Megaflo Eco Indirect can be connected to a heat pump as the primary heat source, though the coil recovery performance is specified at 15 l/min primary flow at 80 °C — typical of gas and oil boilers. Heat pumps typically operate at lower flow temperatures (35–55 °C) and higher flow rates. For dedicated heat-pump applications, Heatrae Sadia recommend evaluating their larger-coil models or heat-pump-specific cylinders to ensure adequate energy transfer. Contact us for specification advice.
What boilers is the Megaflo Eco Indirect compatible with?
The Megaflo Eco Indirect is designed for use with heat-only (regular) boilers and system boilers — i.e. boilers whose output is fully under thermostatic control. It is not suitable for use with solid-fuel boilers or any boiler without effective thermostatic energy-input control, or with gravity-circulation primaries, unless additional safety measures are installed. It is also incompatible with combination (combi) boilers, which have no cylinder flow.
Who must install a Megaflo Eco Indirect, and what regulations apply?
Installation must be carried out by a G3 Competent Person (England & Wales), under Building Warrant (Scotland), or to Building Regulation P5 (Northern Ireland). Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician to IET Wiring Regulations. The installer must complete the Benchmark commissioning checklist and leave the product guide with the householder. Compliance with Building Regulations Parts G and L, and the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations is mandatory.
What is the guarantee on the Megaflo Eco Indirect?
Heatrae Sadia provide a lifetime guarantee on the inner duplex stainless steel tank for domestic first-owner installations (transferring to a 30-year warranty for subsequent owners). All other components — immersion heater, valves, motorised valve, wiring centre — carry a 2-year warranty. Warranty validity requires correct installation, annual servicing, and a completed Benchmark checklist.
