Questions & Answers

What power system can I use to power/heat it? 12 volt or DC? Is propane sufficient, or do I need to use a different fuel?

The propane is used in this unit to heat the coils that heat the water, which is why it is classified as a propane heater. It is necessary to use the propane to heat the water in the unit and to start it so that it will work. As this is not a conventional electric water heater, turning it on with electricity will not start any mechanisms to heat water.

What is the maximum volume of water that it can ?

There is no way to fill it with There is a separate container for water. The buckets we use are 5 gallon plastic buckets.

Propane heaters, typically 6500 feet or less above sea level, tend to have an altitude restriction. Can you tell me what the manual says about altitude?

I'm not sure how the manual describes it, but we used it in the Sierras last summer at 7,388 feet of altitude with at least two to five showers per day for all of our 12 days on vacation.

Can you tell me how much it weighs?

A fuel tank will add approximately 30 pounds to the overall weight. It also comes with a storage bag, so you can stow accoutrements and a fuel bottle in an organized fashion.

There is a possibility that this will not be the case
3/5

My mother in law and I spent days browsing through the propane instant hot showers that are available on Amazon, looking for such a unit for her. Several shower heads could not be turned off at the shower head, whereas some seamed to be the best, based on the reviews and function. I was able to use this one. As a result, there is little physical pressure, so that should be taken into account. One of the problems we had with the one we received was that it only reached temperatures in the 90s and sometimes 104s. At one point, it may have hit 110. I would read the ad a little more closely to see which part goes to 125, and which part never did. It is never my intention to break a promise. During a week or so we played with it multiple times, turning it off and on, starting over, turning the plug down, starting it, turning the dial up, starting it, turning it completely off, restarting it, and at no time did it reach higher than When there is still cold water in the hose between the shower head and temperature 104, it is barely warm enough to use. If it had been that hot for me, I might have been fine, but I would think most people would prefer a shower around 115 degrees. I apologize for telling you that the microwave didn't get hot. It's difficult to see how we could have done anything wrong to prevent the temperature from rising. Besides the two buttons to turn it on and off, and to turn the propane on or off, the only dial for setting the temperature is one that goes from low to high. It is bundled with a nice carry bag as well as a DC and AC adapter in case you have to use it on 12v from your car. For it to work, it needs electricity to be plugged in. It only heats the water with propane. This device comes with a pump that will need to be plugged into your water supply.

The new solar shower is far superior to the old one! At our cabin off the grid, we use this
5/5

During the first use, I had to restart the server several times because of We positioned the next shower so that the wind was no longer blowing directly through the vents, and it didn't cause any issues There was no problem getting the water scorching hot, or dialing in the perfect 105 degree shower temperature. It will be incorporated into a permanent enclosure for outdoor showers in the future. I was able to get all of the shampoo out of my long hair with the pump's water pressure -- This makes me super happy! The pump is powered by a 240-watt Jackery, and we go through about 1% of the battery with a 5 gallon shower.

It was defective and the customer support was poor
4/5

It was sold by a great seller, however. Feature of the product is great when it works. I received an error code when the propane didn't ignite. So I called Hike Support. It was a dead end. After the initial problem, everything went well the following day. We had a second issue, but it solved itself. The third issue came when there was no way to adjust the temperature of the water. The temperature is too high. I called them and they did not answer I sent repeated emails to manufacturer support. We did not receive any After calling the seller DBroth and ordering a new one, I had my order shipped again. We do not charge for this. Returned the old unit and did not have to return it. Thank you so much for your.

The size is okay, but the heat is not worth it
3/5

My favorite thing about this heater was its size and everything else Out of the box it did not heat the water quite as quickly as it should have. that even when the water was being heated and flowing slowly, the water would still rise only about 20 cm The time through the process is 30 degrees. Therefore, despite 60 degrees of incoming water, I still ended up with 80 degrees of lukewarm water. It was hard to like as it just didn't work well enough for me.

It is not good to receive no assistance with a faulty product
3/5

In my experience, the unit I received will not ignite, when I call the 1-800 number They wanted my creditcard # and charged me for trouble shooting,,, I believe this is a horrible business practice,,,I understand products being faulty and am okay with that but thinking that I should have to pay for their faulty products upsets me greatly. I am just looking for a return on this and I am willing to.

I am extremely pleased with the portable shower
5/5

It works as described and does just as needed. At first I kinda doubted the quality, the performance, and the use of propane, but I have since become a fan. . It heats up quickly and stays hot until you are finished. . One thing that could do with a revamp is the length of both inlet hose and hose to wand. . Not a disappointment, just wish they were longer. However, the unit works great.

hot water for a You can store this on a boat and use it when staying overnight
4/5

Over the course of one summer, I used it a handful of times. Depending on your preference, you can set the temperature of the water. With the lowest setting, it is still nice and warm, so I can still sleep comfortably. In a bucket, 2 gallons of water or so is enough for me to take a full shower. This member likes Warm and hot water are provided in the I like)
• Carry case keeps everything easy to store and organized.

Mistakes *Before and after installation there is a fair amount of set up time and breakdown time. It might have been better if it had been more self-centered This is what is contained within the cords and hoses. The whole system can be hooked up instead. In my opinion, the swing out faucet looks like it's a prime spot for a leak. As for mine, it is not broken yet. Whenever I handle it, I am very careful. • Make a plan for your future An alternative to electrical power that can be contained and used at any time. I am lucky enough to have a 12v power port nearby so I use it, but you weren't sure if you could always do that.

This device provides easy and reliable showering
5/5

Take a shower in a bucket from a 5 gallon bucket with this compact lightweight device!
We stayed at the campsite for 12 days and took showers up to 5 times per day. Even long hair worked well with this hair dryer, since it heats quickly. Having a spare 5-gallon bucket by will allow you to extend your shower. Just drop the pump into the bucket and you will have a longer bath. A zip file was used to store the data A tree had been climbed to hang a portable shower enclosure. The warmth of the water is wonderful.
