Default Hyco water heaters a bit crap?

During house renovations (sigh) we have and will not have CH for a good
while.

I've been using a Hyco 9.5kW inline multipoint heater to run 2 sinks and a
bath - which is OK in itself.

However, they just don't last. First one blew one of its 2 elements just
after a year and the 2nd one is going dicky - throwing the overheat cutout
on a daily basis. I suspect the flow switch is getting sticky and not
shutting it off cleanly.

OK - they are only £100 quid, but before I nip down to QVS and put yet
anotherone in that will last slightly longer than the guarantee period, are
there any 9.5-10kW units that are not crap?

These are inline, no water storage, really simple - not undersink types.

Cheers,

Tim
