Provide instant, uninterrupted boiling water access with the Birko Econoboil 5L Commercial Wall Mounted Instant Boiling Water Unit (Model 405042). Engineered for medium to high-traffic commercial staffrooms, office kitchens, school canteens, sports clubhouses, and catering venues, this wall mounted unit delivers hot water on demand without waiting for traditional kettles.
Featuring a generous 5-litre nominal capacity, the 405042 provides an immediate discharge of up to 30 boiling cups at once and a rapid recovery rate of 150 cups per hour. Built with patented steam-heat-boost™ twin-chamber technology, it recycles heat energy from internal steam to pre-heat incoming cold water, significantly lowering electricity costs. Housed in a white Colorbond® casing wrapped in high-performance insulation panels, it combines robust commercial durability with thermal efficiency.
