Description:

The Pundmann Therm Boiler 6L TOWER is a compact and efficient vertical water heater, designed to meet the requirements of mobile installations or locations with limited space. With its “tower” design (TOWER), it can easily fit into a narrow niche, a closet, or a technical cabinet. This product is available in two versions to cover different energy needs: 230V/500W or 12V/200W.

Optimized vertical design:

• “TOWER” format : Its tall and narrow shape (228 x 200 x 370 mm) allows installation in places usually hard to access, such as column furniture, small storage compartments, or under a worktop in tight spaces.
• Space saving : Compared to a classic horizontal water heater, this vertical model optimizes the use of available height, limiting floor space occupation.

Technical specifications:

Two electric versions available:

1. 230V / 500W version
   • Heating time : about 70 minutes to bring the water to temperature.
   • Recommended use : installation in vehicles equipped with a 230V connection (camping areas, ports, or serviced areas) or for food trucks connected to a fixed power source.
   • Moderate power : 500W allows quick heating while avoiding overloading the onboard electrical network.
2. 12V / 200W version
   • Heating time : about 130 minutes, suitable for systems without 230V, such as some vans or off-road vehicles.
   • Autonomous solution : perfect for those who want to stay off-grid (camping, isolated sites) and use only the vehicle battery (however, check the condition and capacity of your battery).
   • Low consumption : 200W limits battery discharge and allows longer operation in autonomous mode.

Installation and connections:

• Vertical mounting : The water heater is designed to be fixed in an upright position, ensuring optimal operation and avoiding air bubbles in the system.
• Water inlets and outlets : Usually located on the top or side, they facilitate connection of the cold/hot water circuit. Use fittings adapted to the diameter recommended by the manufacturer to avoid leaks or pressure loss.
• Electrical safety :
  • For the 230V version, installation must include an appropriate circuit breaker or fuse (500W) and ideally a residual current device for personal protection.
  • For the 12V version, check the polarity and fuse rating (200W) to secure the installation against overcurrents.
• Tank material : Although not detailed here, Pundmann water heaters are generally equipped with a corrosion-resistant tank (stainless steel or specific coating). Check maintenance and winterizing instructions (complete draining in case of freezing).

Heating performance:

• Fast heating :
  • 230V/500W → ~70 min
  • 12V/200W → ~130 min
• Built-in thermostat : The water heater maintains water temperature once heated by automatically regulating the resistance.
• Thermal insulation : The tank is surrounded by effective insulation that limits heat loss and keeps water hot longer, even if electrical supply is interrupted.

Multiple applications:

The Pundmann Therm Boiler 6L TOWER adapts to various types of vehicles and uses:

• Motorhomes and caravans : for a quick shower or dishwashing.
• Boats and yachts : ideal for enjoying a hot water point on board, especially during extended navigation.
• Food trucks : compliance with hygiene standards (hand washing, equipment rinsing) by having a hot water reserve.
• Service or special vehicles : ambulances, mobile laboratories, mobile offices, etc.

Advantages and strengths:

1. Compactness : Slim vertical format (only 22.8 cm wide) for simplified mounting in tight spaces.
2. Energy flexibility : Choice between two power supply voltages (230V or 12V) depending on your installation and available energy source.
3. Ease of use : Built-in thermostat, single heating point, and intuitive start-up.
4. Reliability and robustness : Pundmann brand recognized for the quality of its resistances and heating envelope, designed for intensive use in mobile environments.

Maintenance tips:

• Regular draining : In case of prolonged non-use or risk of freezing, completely drain the tank to avoid damage.
• Cleaning : Use suitable descaling products, especially if water is hard. Follow manufacturer instructions to preserve the coating.
• Annual check : Check the condition of fittings, resistance, and insulation to maintain optimal performance.
• Winterizing : If you leave your vehicle immobilized during winter, cut off electrical supply and drain the tank. You can also rinse with clear water to avoid prolonged stagnation.

The Vertical water heater with single resistance Pundmann 6L – TOWER stands out for its ingenious design and ability to adapt to different environments and energies. Whether you have a 230V source at a campsite or want a 12V solution for a fully autonomous converted van, this model will meet your hot water needs while occupying minimal space. Reliable, robust, and designed to make life easier on the move, it represents an excellent investment for any layout project where compactness and efficiency are major criteria.
