Q7. How do I regenerate the airgap on my Megaflo?

To re-charge the airgap please use the following simple instructions:

1. Turn off the mains cold water supply to the Megaflo
2. Open the lowest hot tap in the property
3. Hold open the temperature / pressure relief valve until the gurgling noise stops and water stops running from the tap and valve
4. Close the temperature / pressure relief valve; open the mains cold water supply to the Megaflo.  When water flows from the hot tap close the tap
5. If water continues to drip or flow from the overflow the Megaflo requires attention. Switch off heat sources (immersion heaters and boiler), DO NOT turn off water supply. Contact a competent installer for advice.
