Update on the Vulcanus MK4 Microwave Water Heater
In the original post about the Vulcanus MK4 microwave based water heater, the Pulsar Advanced Technologies website found in the Globe and Mail article turned out to be a work in progress. It looks as though the Pulsar Advanced Technologies people have another website, found here. Website number two has some actual information on the Vulcanus MK4, including a FAQ and a tiny picture, seen here. Apparently PAT, as I call them, are developing two models: To begin with, we have two models whose function is to deliver two temperatures to several points of use. The first model has the capabilities to go from 35F-140F within seconds and supply multiple outlets concurrently. That is to say that this base model can service a bath/shower, and all other household faucets endlessly. The second model is equally fluid, but through a secondary thermostat control will deliver water at a higher temperature to service dishwashers and washing machines along with the various bathroom and kitchen amenities.
Stay tuned...

unfortunately I still cannot get on to Pulsar's website #1 or #2. Dose anybody have a phone # to contact the company ? Thank you.

Kieran, I can get to the site ok now. The site is done entirely in flash, so that might be the issue if you're ending up at a blank page perhaps...
Anyway, the number on their site is 514-931-4745. Maybe they'll provide you with more info than I got when I emailed them, which netted a useless "Thanks for your interest..." response.

I called the number and didn't get an answer (it was a Sunday however, so I wasn't expecting an answer as much as a voicemail/machine, which I didn't get). Strange.

Any updates as to when this will hit the market? I get no response to e-mails. Have not tried to call.

ok.... so I should stop dreaming of instant hotwater. I spoke with my plumber and he said, "check it out because they seem to be trying to address the extreme cold ground water here in Northwestern Ontario." Is this Valcanus MK4 for real or do I stop dreaming and put my walls and floors back together. Any input about hot water on demand would be most appreciated.

Hi Sandra. I'd also like to know more about this product but I'm starting to get a little skeptical myself. I emailed for more information last year and got a friendly response. About a month or two ago I emailed Pulsar again looking for an update and have yet to receive a reply. Their website hasn't had any news and has been looking pretty static for quite some time; maybe going on a year now.

HI, I live in mtl, where pulsar is, after a few months I manage to get an answer, they will not sale the product this year (2007) as promised. There were financial or dont remember what problem, so the hope is dead. Maybe in a year.. dunno!
Ciao.

Thanks Stephane, I'm sure a lot of people will be interested to read this news, as disappointing as it may be...

I have been trying for a while to get up to date info on this product. ANY NEWS?
