I have a megaflow thats suppose to create 200 liters of hot water but i only get 110 liters from it before it goes cold would this be because the air bubble needs resetting cheers Ian.
 
You get the bubble full as extra if it's full of water!

How are you measuring the 110 litres?
 
I timed how long to fill 5 liters and then how long until water went cold and had 110 liters of hot water from the megaflow and it says on the tank 200 liters the reason it came to light we used to be able to get about 20 mins of shower time now we only get about 10 - 12 mins and then cold water cheers Ian.

Not a valid deduction. You should have to mix the water to shower temperature at about 40 degC. The storage should be set at 60 degC. The old system may have stored the water at a higher temperature, so would have used less hot and more cold per minute. Is the water at atap at about the same temperature?


The water in the storage cylinder also stratifies, so the top will be hotter and the bottom colder.
