Benefits of installing a Megaflo cylinder: what homeowners in Pulborough should know

Are you looking at installing a Megaflo cylinder in your home? Or have you been advised by a local gas engineer that you should install one, and are unsure of the benefits? This article explains what a Megaflo cylinder is, how it differs from a boiler, and the practical advantages it brings to everyday life.

What is a Megaflo cylinder?

A Megaflo cylinder is a stainless steel system that stores hot water as part of your central heating system. It is important to understand that a Megaflo cylinder is not actually a boiler, but a hot water cylinder: it does not have any role in pumping water throughout your central heating system; rather it warms it up in order for it to be pumped around.

Megaflo cylinders can be either “indirect” or “direct”:

• Direct – the water is heated using a built-in element.
• Indirect – the water is heated by a separate regular boiler or system boiler.

What are the benefits of installing a Megaflo cylinder?

Now that you understand what a Megaflo cylinder is and have a rough idea of how it works, here are the benefits homeowners typically cite when upgrading to a Megaflo unvented cylinder.

Space saving and neater plumbing

If you have a regular boiler and you live in a household with limited space, you won’t need a separate cold water tank in addition to the cylinder. You can just have the cylinder on its own, helping you free up some space.

Cleaner water quality

Water that’s sat still in a loft has more chance of being contaminated, compared to water that’s locked away in a sealed cylinder.

Stronger, more consistent water pressure

If you have reduced water pressure, you can take advantage of the fact that the cylinder uses mains pressure, meaning you can greatly improve the performance of showers, baths and more.

Flexible siting and installation

You can be completely flexible with regards to where you install your Megaflo unvented cylinder, giving you more options to fit the cylinder where it best suits the property.

Reliable parts and straightforward maintenance

Megaflo cylinders are easy to install and their parts are widely available, so if you ever need to replace or repair it, you’re covered.

Compatibility with low-carbon systems

Megaflo cylinders are compatible with Solar PV, making them a great option for homeowners looking to reduce their energy bills.
