Hello,
I'm wondering if anybody has any info on a Junkers Model 125 tankless water heater. This appears to be original equipment on my '61 TravelEze trailer. I'll get a picture up as soon as I figure out how to ad one here.
Thanks,
Phil

It's a very cool old heater, similar to the Vaillant. I have the Vaillant brochure if you think it would help. PM me. Never heard of a Junkers...

So far all I've been able to find is that Bosch bought this part of the Junkers business around 1935, and continued to use the Junkers name on products up through the 1970's at least. I've contacted Bosch asking for info, should be interesting to see what I can find.

I work for Bosch. I don't even have any info about Bosch products. The company is just too large, across too many continents.

I figured it was a stretch, thought they might have some archived stuff they could access. Like they said, it's 59 years ago this thing was made. I got the plunger on the safety valve un-stuck, so when I finish the re-pipe work I'll see if it works.
Thanks, Phil

I finished the re-plumbing of the trailer. Originally there was a steel tank, air compressor for pressure, and copper tubing throughout, now its a plastic tank, on-demand electric pump, and pex all around. Turns out there was a soldered connection on the back side of the water heater that had completely come apart. (In my humble opinion, this all would have been easier if a previous owner would have drained the system for winter.) I repaired the bad connection, and the heater is now leak free, except for a tiny drip from around what I believe is the flow control shaft. In my dreams, this will heal itself. Gonna have to shelve this project for a while, but I'll get back to it.
