The available context does not provide specific reasons why hot water might not be coming from the MEGAFLO DD. However, it suggests consulting a competent installer or the Megaflo eco Service Department if issues persist.
Common potential causes might include issues with the immersion heater, thermostat, or water supply, but further details are not provided in the context.
For troubleshooting, follow the manual's guidance or seek professional assistance.

Regulation Part L. The Megaflo eco unvented water heater can be fed directly from the cold water mains supply to the property without the need for separate feed cisterns or vent pipes. It is supplied complete with all its necessary inlet and safety controls, electric immersion heater(s) and, for indirect units, a cylinder thermostat, thermal cut-out, 2-port motorised valve and wiring centre.
Storage and Handling Please take care when handling a packaged Megaflo eco. The unit is heavy and must only be moved manually within safe working practices. If the unit is to be stored before installation, it must be placed on a secure, level surface and in a dry, frost free environment.
Cold Water Combination Valve (See figures 7 page 14). Branches to cold drinking outlets should be taken before the valve. outlets situated higher than the Megaflo eco unit will give outlet pressures lower than that at the heater, a 10m height difference will result in a 0.1 Mpa (1 bar) pressure reduction at the outlet fitting.

Valve is installed with the direction of flow arrows (stamped on the side of the brass body) pointing towards the Megaflo eco heater. If a balanced pressure cold water supply is required to a thermostatic shower mixer valve this may be teed off the supply to the Megaflo eco immediately after the 3 Bar Pressure Reducing Valve (See figure 7, page 14).
Page 13
8 Bar Pressure Relief Valve (See Figure 5) This should be installed between the 3 bar Pressure Reducing Valve and the Megaflo eco cylinder. Should a balanced pressure cold water draw off supply be required for the cold water outlets, this should be taken off between the 3 bar Pressure Reducing Valve and 8 bar Pressure Relief Valve (see figure 7, page 14).

Drain Tap a drain tap is supplied and should be installed in the cold water supply to the Megaflo eco unit between the 8 Bar Pressure Relief Valve and the heater at as low a level as possible (see figure 1, page 5). It is recommended that the outlet point of the drain pipe work be at least 1 metre below the level of the heater (this can be achieved by attaching a hose pipe to the drain tap outlet spigot).
Page 16
T&P Relief Valve Insulation a set of insulating components is supplied with the Megaflo eco water heater and should be installed to gain maximum heat and energy saving benefits. See figure 9 (below), for installation instructions. Warnings i) Under no circumstances should the factory fitted Temperature /Pressure Relief Valve be removed other than by authorised Heatrae Sadia personnel.

The following extract is taken from the latest G3 Regulations Discharge pipes from safety devices Discharge pipe D1 3.50 Safety devices such as temperature relief valves or combined temperature and pressure and pressure relief valves (see paragraphs 3.13 or 3.18) should discharge either directly or by way of a manifold via a short length of metal pipe (D1) to a tundish. 3.51 The diameter of discharge pipe (D1) should be not less than the nominal outlet size of the temperature relief valve.
Page 18
Discharge Pipework It is a requirement of Building Regulations that any discharge from an unvented system is conveyed to where it is visible, but will not cause danger to persons in or about the building. The tundish and discharge pipes should be fitted in accordance with the requirements and guidance notes of Building Regulations.
Boiler Selection The Megaflo eco Indirect (CL) models are suitable for use with most gas or oil fired boilers compatible with unvented systems i.e. fitted with a temperature control thermostat and thermal cut-out. If in doubt consult the boiler manufacturer. Solid fuel boilers or any other boiler in which the energy input is not under effective thermostatic control, unless additional and appropriate safety measures are installed, SHOULD NOT be used.
Page 20
The Megaflo eco indirect units (CL models) are supplied with an immersion heater which can be used as an alternative heat source should the boiler supply need to be isolated from the Megaflo eco unit. The immersion heater is located within the controls housing. Refer to Secion 2, page 22 “Wiring and operation”...

DIRECT MODEL Immersion Heater(s) The Megaflo eco is supplied with either one (D model), two (DD models), three (DDD models) or four (DDDDmodels) factory fitted immersion heaters. Each immersion heater is rated 3kW at 240V. To remove the immersion heater: open the cover to the upper immersion heater.

When the primary circuit is full return the lever to the AUTO position. Vent any trapped air by opening the air bleed. Switch on the boiler, ensure the programmer is set to Domestic Hot Water. allow the Megaflo eco unit to heat up and check that the indirect thermostat and 2-port motorised valve operate correctly.

Switch off the electrical supply to the immersion heater(s) and shut down the boiler on indirect units. Turn off the mains water supply to the Megaflo eco unit. attach a hosepipe to the drain cock having sufficient length to take water to a suitable discharge point below the level of the unit, at least one metre below the unit is recommended.
The fault finding chart (Table 6) will enable operational faults to be identified and their possible causes rectified. any work carried out on the Megaflo eco unvented water heater and its associated controls MUST be carried out by a competent installer for unvented water heating systems.
