Description: 

The Pundmann Therm Boiler 6L TOWER is a compact and efficient vertical water heater, designed to meet the demands of mobile installations or locations with limited space. With its “tower” (TOWER) design, it can easily fit into a narrow niche, cupboard, or technical cabinet. This product comes 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 usage.

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 sites) or for food trucks connected to a fixed power source.
   • Moderate power : 500W allows rapid 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 (wild camping, isolated sites) and use only the vehicle’s battery (however, remember to 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 preventing air bubbles in the system.
• Water inlets and outlets : Generally located on the top or side, they facilitate connection to the cold/hot water circuit. Use fittings adapted to the diameter recommended by the manufacturer to avoid leaks or pressure loss.
• Electrical safety :
  • On the 230V version, the installation must include an appropriate circuit breaker or fuse (500W) and ideally a residual current device for personal protection.
  • On 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 the water temperature as soon as it is heated, automatically regulating the resistance.
• Thermal insulation : The tank is surrounded by efficient insulation that limits heat loss and keeps the water hot longer, even if the 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 washing dishes.
• 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 supply.
• Service or special vehicles : ambulances, mobile laboratories, itinerant offices, etc.

Advantages and key points:

1. Compactness : Slim vertical format (only 22.8 cm wide) for simplified installation in tight spaces.
2. Energy flexibility : Choice between two power voltages (230V or 12V) depending on your installation and available energy source.
3. Ease of use : Integrated 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 empty the tank to avoid any damage.
• Cleaning : Use suitable descaling products, especially if the water is hard. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to preserve the coating.
• Annual check : Check the condition of the fittings, the resistance, and the insulation to maintain optimal performance.
• Winterizing : If you leave your vehicle immobilized during winter, cut the power supply and empty the tank. You can also rinse with clear water to avoid prolonged stagnation.

The Pundmann 6L Single Resistance Vertical Water Heater – TOWER stands out for its ingenious design and its ability to adapt to different environments and energy sources. Whether you have a 230V supply at a campsite or want a 12V solution for a self-sufficient converted van, this model will meet your hot water needs while occupying minimal space. Reliable, robust, and designed to make life on the move easier, it represents an excellent investment for any conversion project where compactness and efficiency are key criteria.
