Tucker Diesel Water Heater for Water-Fed Poles

What the heater is

The Tucker Water-Fed Heater is a water heater for water-fed pole window cleaning. It is an on-demand, diesel-fired heater that warms your pure water on its way to the pole, and hot water speeds up cleaning.

Heat and fuel

Tucker rates continuous output at 120°F and 1 GPM, with a 65°F temperature rise over the incoming water. Fuel use is 0.34 gallons per hour. The heater runs on 12 VDC and draws 6.5 A from a 12V deep-cycle battery, which is not included.

Installation

An 11-gallon fuel tank and the heater come mounted together on an aluminum base for easy installation. Water inlet and outlet are 3/8" brass barbs, and the exhaust outlet takes a 1.5" pipe that ducts vertically, so plan the exhaust route when you choose a mounting spot.

Matching your system

The heater is matched to systems delivering up to 1 GPM. Above that flow rate you may not see enough heat rise, so it suits tank delivery systems such as the Fill N Go better than high-output carts. Tucker offers it together with a Fill N Go system for a hot pure-water setup. The Fill N Go delivery pumps also run from a 12V deep-cycle battery.

Lead time and warranty

The heater is currently built to order with a 4-6 week lead time, so order ahead of the cold season. Defects in materials and workmanship are handled under Tucker's warranty.

Tucker® is the water-fed pole and brush line of Reach Higher Ground (RHG), the Castle Rock, Colorado company that window cleaner Shawn Gavin founded in 2006 to build better pure-water equipment. RHG built its first spot-free system in 2007 and acquired Tucker® in 2015, and today designs, assembles and supports the whole range from its Colorado facility: RO/DI carts and tank systems, carbon fiber and hybrid poles, water-fed brushes and the accessories that tie them together.

The heater is meant for Tucker's tank delivery systems, and Tucker offers it together with a Fill N Go system. Keep flow at or below 1 GPM for full heat; high-output carts such as the Max Output (3+ GPM) run well above the heater's rating.
