The Heatrae Sadia Megaflo Eco Indirect range is the UK's best-selling indirectly heated unvented cylinder, available in seven sizes from 70 to 300 litres. Marketed as ECO IND (70i, 125i, 145i) and ECO2 IND (170i, 210i, 250i, 300i), all seven models share the same duplex stainless steel construction, internal expansion system, coil-in-coil heat exchanger, and lifetime inner-tank guarantee. Heated primarily by your gas, oil, or heat-pump boiler via the primary coil, with a single 3 kW titanium backup immersion heater, every model delivers mains-pressure hot water at up to 76 litres per minute — no loft tank, no pump required.
Megaflo Eco Indirect cylinders must be installed and commissioned by a G3 accredited competent person (England & Wales), under Building Warrant (Scotland), or to Building Regulation P5 (Northern Ireland). All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician. The Benchmark commissioning checklist must be completed and left with the householder.
The ECO IND designation covers the 70i, 125i, and 145i models. The ECO2 IND designation covers the 170i, 210i, 250i, and 300i, which now feature Heatrae Sadia's enhanced internal expansion mechanism and a 30-year warranty on the stainless-steel tank. Beyond this, all seven models share the same core specification, components, and performance.
These cylinders are heated primarily by a gas, oil, or heat-pump boiler via the internal coil. A single 3 kW titanium backup immersion heater is included for off-peak tariff charging or when the boiler is unavailable. Not suitable for solid-fuel boilers or gravity-circulation primaries without additional safety measures. For electric-only heating, see the Megaflo Eco Direct range.
The Megaflo Eco Indirect's unique coil-in-coil heat exchanger maximises contact area between primary and stored water, achieving full heat-up in as little as 17 minutes (70i at 15 l/min primary flow, 80 °C) and 70% draw-off recovery in 10–27 minutes across the range — outperforming most competitors at the same primary flow rate.
The patented internal floating-baffle air-gap system accommodates domestic hot water thermal expansion within the cylinder itself — no external DHW expansion vessel is required, simplifying installation and reducing pipework. Note: the primary heating circuit still requires its own expansion vessel if sealed.
Fabricated from high-grade duplex stainless steel, pressure-tested to 15 bar, with all titanium immersion elements. Heatrae Sadia back the inner vessel with a lifetime guarantee for domestic first-owner installations, transferring as a 30-year warranty. All components carry a 2-year warranty.
Fed directly from the cold-water mains at 3 bar operating pressure, the Megaflo Eco Indirect delivers up to 76 litres per minute — powerful simultaneous hot water to multiple outlets. No shower pumps, no loft tanks, and consistent balanced pressure on both hot and cold supplies.
60 mm of CFC/HCFC-free fire-retardant polyurethane foam (GWP = 3.1) delivers excellent standing heat-loss performance across the range (0.91–1.69 kWh/24 h). All models achieve ErP Energy Efficiency Class B (70i–210i) or Class C (250i–300i), complying with Building Regulations Part L.
Every model includes: single 3 kW titanium backup immersion · complete cold water inlet control kit (3 bar PRV, 8 bar pressure relief valve, ¼-turn isolator, line strainer, non-return valve, drain cock) · factory-fitted 90 °C / 10 bar T&P valve · tundish · T&P insulation kit · additional thermostat & thermal cut-out · wiring centre · 22 mm 2-port motorised valve.
