We installed one of these in our vintage Shasta refurb. Works great! One caveat is that it requires a minimum flow rate to kick on and stay running. If you have a limited water supply and try to conserve, you may not get enough flow to keep it running.
I have one of these that I've been using for a couple of years. It's been great to have a hot shower setup for under $250! Mine isn't this identical model, but very similar, purchased in fall 2022 and I've had no problems with it. Highly recommend it.
We bought one for an outdoor shower and it is excellent!👍 We turned a 3 × 5 metal garden shed into a shower shed...works great! But we won't be using it in the winter because the water heater is hooked up to a garden hose.
Same living in my camper no shower or sink this and a shower tent attachment maybe or tub. Arizona desert winds destroy tents easy so tents are questionable 🤔
I have a joolca hot tap water heater & 12v dc electric pump. Had it 2 years, use it once per week average & still going. Use plastic barrels of clean city water/ not lakes or streams. If water entering system is very cold it doesn't heat up water to desired temperature. If u run it through heater from container #1 to container #2, it'll be hot running from container #2 for shower, clean pot pans etc. Wondering if anyone else experiencing same w/ different make of instant hot water heater.
@@DonTerhune since we will be living in our RV while we build an earthship I decided to go with a solar hot water (panels) and hot water heater to "pre-heat"... it will off set the inlet temperatures in the winter with our off grid electric system and wind turbines.
Yes, it’d be better to get a 12v or 120v pump so it has a consistent pressure like 330GPH or whatever the water heater requires. Some of the kits come with the water pump.
@@Ginger-B153 Got one hooked up to my gravity fed system. Works for cold showers but I rigged up an inline pump so it kicks on. I’ll have to build a tower for the supply tank for more pressure and it should work without the pump when that’s done. Thanks!
I've still been trying to save to afford one of those and a backup generator because mine does not want to work and I don't know why it only been used a few times it's damn near brand new. My generator shouldn't be acting like it's got dirty gas in it when I don't put dirt gas in it.
I want one so bad, but its crazy how much water they use even in just 30 seconds. Van life or car life, it would be hard having room for enough water just to shower fully.
You can run a hose from the house to it for unlimited water supply. Or if offgrid you can buy a 12v pump and plug it into your car. It can suck out of a bucket or lake if your close enough to feed the water heater for a shower. Really a slick setup and it gets super hot if needed.

I took one to a weekend music festival and had people lining up to shower. (just hung it on a tree) Some quick math said I should get around 600 showers at 3 minutes each, from a BBQ bottle of propane.
@@Lovelace069 ... the actual source was a well but knowing the lay out ahead of time I also packed about 500 ft of garden hose to tap into the farmer's poly pipe he had to the back of his field. Due to the heater having rather small passages internally I added some of those hose washers with the fine mesh screen to filter any odd sediment. BTW, the shower head has a restrictor so only flows about 1.5 gallons per minute. Not perfect, but more than adequate for the purpose.... and sure beats a solar shower bag.
@@rupe53 thank you kindly....so eye take it the pump aspect was internal? You mind if eye ask for a link to your unit? My residential water has a leak somewhere that the landlord does not want to pay for. The bill was 300$+ for a month and a half of previous. Had to shut her down. They've supposedly repaired but that scared me. Made me want an sustainable alternative. A controlled solution if you will. Saw a hack of turning a large trash bin into rain catchment system with a regular brita filter refill inverted in the center of the inverted trash can lid. Lol sorry long winded
@@Lovelace069 ... sorry, my unit has no internal pump and must be fed with a minimum of 20 PSI from an outside source. I do not recall the brand at the moment.
Looking for options for off grid living. This is awesome

Thank you so much for sharing..looks like something i need and definitely can use.....

This is what I've been trying to save up for because this is a dire need of what I need right now

@@neoskater420what did you end up going with. Please share
exactly what I was looking for thks for the link
Thinking of using one of these in an RV instead of the Dometic 10 gallon electric/propane that we have... how to vent it is the question.
most of these are not rated to be left outside in the rain, but you could use it outside and bring it in during bad weather.
fogatti has a vented model and they are awesome,fits right in the hole .its on demand and i love it..
@@danparker1976 can I have the link?

Is this never ending hot water as long as the batteries are charged?
Had a bunch of these, they last a few months to a year.
Can this be used with a gravity fed water system?

I would have to add a oversized shower head and the hand sprayer.
Could gravity-fed rainwater have enough pressure to make it work?
I want one so bad, but its crazy how much water they use even in just 30 seconds. Van life or car life, it would be hard having room for enough water just to shower fully.
He forgot to explain what it’s hooked up to like can you use this outside in the wilderness or do you have to be connected to a house?
You can run a hose from the house to it for unlimited water supply. Or if offgrid you can buy a 12v pump and plug it into your car. It can suck out of a bucket or lake if your close enough to feed the water heater for a shower. Really a slick setup and it gets super hot if needed.
Your video is great! Can I share it on my RUclips and FB, INS?
Is any tank less using 120 v just to plug in on the wall.. Like any other appliances?
Would it be ok to use inside an rv...inthe shower
I need that
How long will the propane last ???
Will this work if it's gravity fed?
" e " batteries do you have a link?
How safe is this system in relation to electricity shocks. There are reported cases of death as a result of faulty tank system
No chance of getting shocked the ignition is from D size batteries
Can you mount these flat or on floor horizontal?? Thanks
No has to be vertical mounted
Hi how can eye make this portable? No garden hose
use the version with a water pump and pump water from a bucket
@@KYLE-zo4bm thanks a plenty

@@KYLE-zo4bm awesome...an thx again.
Does this require a separate pump for water from a bucket?
What do you use when youre out in the middle of nowhere and dont have AC power for a pump?
solar generator and solar panel
a jackery works just fine
@@FilmJunkieOutdoors is a jackery a hand pump? Never heard that term before.
@@Tyani-sz6cgjackery is a solar generator they are pretty dope
@@backintogear9071 How big of a panel do you need to power the DC motor?
How long of a shower can you take with this
Can you run antifreeze thru this water heater installed in a camper
