Why should I choose Bobaas Donkies?

In an age where sustainability and efficiency are paramount, Bobaas Donkies Wood-Fired Water Heaters stand out as a testament to innovative thinking grounded in time-honored traditions. Combining rustic charm with modern functionality, our wood-fired water heaters offer a compelling solution for all.
Bobaas Donkies, a name synonymous with quality and ingenuity, has simply revived the art of wood-fired heating. Long before electricity and gas became the standard for home heating, wood-fired systems (donkeys) were the heart of many households. By embracing this traditional method and infusing it with contemporary design and technology, we bring a reliable and sustainable heating solution into the 21st century.

Tub Heater - R7500

Beyond functionality, Bobaas Donkies Wood-Fired Water Heaters add a rustic, aesthetic charm to any home. The sight of a wood fire and the gentle crackle of burning logs create a warm, inviting atmosphere that electric heaters simply cannot replicate. These units are thoughtfully designed to complement a variety of home styles, from traditional cottages to modern eco-homes, blending seamlessly into their surroundings while serving as a focal point of both beauty and utility.

Note that our wood-fired heaters do not come with a thermostatic control to regulate water temperature, but a 400 kPa Temperature & Safety Pressure Valve and wood-fired heaters can create high pressure due to rapid heating. It is therefore important not to overheat or over-stoke the fire. Over-stoking means adding too much wood in an attempt to make the fire burn hotter, faster and more intensely than necessary. If your TP valve has

Having said that, Bobaas Donkies is also committed to continuous improvement and innovation.

Galvanizing & Rust

We understand how important the longevity of your wood-fired water heater is, and we want to reassure you that every unit by BOBAAS DONKIES is manufactured with care and quality control. However, as per our warranty policy, we offer a 12-month warranty on workmanship only. This covers defects arising from the way the heater was built, but does not extend to factors beyond our control - such as:

The type or quality of water used (e.g. hard, corrosive, contaminated, untreated water, & water with a high pH-balance etc),
The materials (mild steel) used during fabrication, which can vary depending on supplier availability,
The galvanizing, which may be affected over time by environmental conditions and water chemistry – again, this is beyond our control.

While galvanized mild steel is highly corrosion-resistant, it is not corrosion-proof - especially in aggressive water environments or when exposed to chemicals, air and moisture cycles. As a result, we can give no guarantee whatsoever regarding the durability, or lifespan of our galvanized steel units, or any guarantees with regard to corrosion itself. Water that contains manganese and/or iron, and the heating process in steel itself, may over time cause rust.

Sustainable and Efficient

Utilizing readily available, renewable wood resources, our heaters significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Wood, when sourced responsibly, is a carbon-neutral energy source, making it an environmentally friendly alternative. our water heaters are designed to maximize fuel efficiency, ensuring that every log burns cleanly and effectively, providing ample hot water with minimal environmental impact.

In addition to their environmental perks, Bobaas Donkies Wood-Fired Water Heaters offer substantial economic benefits. Rising energy costs make conventional heating methods increasingly expensive. Wood, however, remains a cost-effective fuel source, particularly for those living in rural or wooded areas. Investing in a wood-fired water heater can lead to significant savings on energy bills over time, making it a wise long-term investment.

No electricity required

In areas prone to power outages or those living off-grid, the reliability of Bobaas Donkies Wood-Fired Water Heaters is unmatched. Unlike electric or gas water heaters, which are vulnerable to service disruptions, wood-fired systems ensure a consistent supply of hot water regardless of external conditions. This resilience makes them an ideal choice for remote cabins, farms, and anyone seeking greater energy independence.

Our wood-fired jacuzzi heater typically consists of several key components that work together to heat pool water using wood as fuel. These include:

The firebox: This is where the wood is burned to generate heat.
The water drum/ heat exchanger: The heat exchanger transfers heat from the fire to the pool water.
3 x chimney pipes: The chimney pipes direct smoke and gases from the burning wood out of the system. Our well-designed chimney system ensures proper ventilation and efficient burning, and will heat the water faster than any of the standard units in our range.
Safety valve.

All these components work together to heat the pool effectively and sustainably using wood as the primary fuel source, and while it may take a few hours to raise the water temperature, it is definitely cheaper than electricity.
