Megaflo Eco 170 Litre Slimline Direct Unvented Hot Water Cylinder
Megaflo Eco Slimline is a compact version of the Megaflo Eco, designed for homes where space for a hot water storage cylinder is limited and where standard size cylinders are unlikely to fit. By being taller and slimmer, the Megaflo Eco Slimline stores the same amount of hot water as an equivalent capacity cylinder and still provides exceptionally high levels of comfort and hot water performance.
Negating the need for an expansion vessel, the unit fits in the tightest of situations, allowing for fast, tidy and compact installations that can be fitted almost anywhere.
Package includes:
- Cylinder incorporating 2 x factory fitted immersion heaters and thermal controls
- factory fitted temperature and pressure relief valve `
- Instructions (Inc benchmark commissioning checklist & service record)
- Cold water control pack `
- Combination valve (Inc pressure reducing valve, pressure relief valve, check valve and isolating valve)

Delivery
All our Cylinders are for delivery by customer offload. This entails the customer to acquire the right manpower and/or machinery to help unload the tank/s from the delivery vehicle.
If you require assistance with offloading, we may be able to offer a tail lift (lowers the tank to the ground) or HIAB (lorry with a mounted crane to winch the tank off the delivery vehicle). Please contact us if this is required for delivery.

Direct is where the heat comes from an electric immersion heater whereas the Indirect heat source uses the heat from a boiler.

Looking to avoid shipping charges?
All our tanks are available for collection ex works. Our suppliers are based all over the UK — please call if you wish to collect.
Overseas orders
International orders are welcome. Payment is by IBAN / SWIFT / BIC, MoneyGram and letters of credit. We regret that credit cards are not accepted for international orders.
A purchase order is required; we will then create a pro-forma invoice, and tanks are ordered on clearance of funds.
If you require additional export documentation — for example a Certificate of Origin, or commercial invoices certified by the Chamber of Commerce — you must notify us before completion of your order, as we will have to invoice cost and admin charges to the order.

Unless a HIAB delivery has been booked at additional cost, it is the customer’s responsibility to offload with suitable equipment on the day of delivery. A failed delivery may result in additional charges.
We recommend that installers, plant hire and installation materials — excavators, aggregates and so on — are not booked until you are in receipt of the goods. Tanks Direct cannot be held responsible for costs incurred due to unforeseen delays; please see our terms for more details.
