Description

Can it be used in high elevations? Yes, but for areas above 2,000 feet, suggest checking if there is a sufficient water supply PS: For every 1,000 feet in elevation, the efficiency of the water heater will decrease by 10% Can I use a 5-gallon bucket for water? Yes. But you need pressurized water. Draw water from the tank using a 12V water pump (pump kit model: JK-3206P). How long does propane last? On a standard 4 lb tank, you can run it for 3 hours nonstop camping showers depending on the heat setting. Larger 20 lb tanks last much longer. Can this get wet in the shower? Yes, occasional splashing is fine. Use it successfully for outdoor showers and bathing pets, but avoid directly spraying water over the top. What is included and what is required? Includes: 1.58 GPM portable water heater, 3.54'' S/S rain cap, 5 ft pre-installed gas regulator, 5 ft shower kit, hardware pack, user manual Needs: water inlet hose, propane gas cylinder, 2D batteries; if using water tank also need a water pump

Works Great for Camping at Elevation 7,500 ft!
Set name: 1.58 GPM
I’m happy to say that this water heater exceeded my expectations! There’s a lot I wanted to talk about in this review, so please be advise if you don’t want to read the full review of my setup, please skip to the end. Also, I apologize for not taking any photos of my setup at the campsite, for the purpose of this review. But here’s my story… This past Memorial Day weekend, my family and friends did a camping trip up near Swamp Lake, in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. If some of you are familiar with that area, you know as much as I do about how cold the water can be up there around this time of the year. The elevation is somewhere around 7,500 feet above sea level. My family and friends enjoy outdoor tent camping, with no trailers or anything of that sort, that would come with a hot water heater. For the longest time, we would get our hot water, for showering, by just boiling water taken from a nearby creek. But with some difficulties over the past couple years of having to carry 5 gallon buckets of water up the hill (Because I’m getting old, lol), I felt it would be in our best interest to invest in a portable water heater. My really biggest concern, after constant research of various types that are available in the market, was that I’m afraid it might not work in higher elevations. [Just an FYI, for those who haven’t read about it yet, some water heaters will not work at higher elevations due to the fact that the air will too thin and cannot fuel the flames]. Nonetheless, as the trip is nearing, I had to make a decision to purchase one soon, so that I can test it out on this trip. Some other important factors that I had to consider before making this purchase were: 1) How many gallons per minute flow rate is enough to enjoy a nice shower? 2) How much of an increase would there be in the water heating temperature, over the source that it’s coming from? 3) How far from the source of the water to our campsite, or showering station? 4) What if our campsite is at a much higher elevation than the water source, what size pump do I need to lift the weight of the water up to the shower location? After watching a few YouTube videos of the Camplus 1.58gpm, and conducting a few tests myself on the flow rate; the 1.58 gallons per minute, was adequate for our needs. Also the specification of the temperature rise of this product heating from cold water source, to providing hot water appeared to be within my satisfactory range. Next up, I had to find a pump that I can depend on, that can get us the water up to where we need it. I chose a diaphragm pump, that will automatically shut off when the waterline is pressurized enough, and it can lift water up to 100 feet, while sustaining a flow rate of 3 gallons per minute. I’ll provide the link to the pump below. I also decided to purchase a 120v ac plug type pump, as I felt these types of pump can provide more power for what they cost, versus the 12v dc pumps. As a power source, I used a 550 watt hour power station, and would switch over to a generator every time the power station would run out of battery(it came with an lcd screen to monitor power levels). I would recommend using both the automatic shut off pump, and a portable power station, in tandem with the water heater itself. With that set up, the hot water is now operated with just one on/off switch at the shower head. Another way to put it, is when you turn on the showerhead, it’ll trigger the water to flow, which then triggers the propane to light, which then triggers the pump to automatically turn on, which then draws power from the power station. And when you turn the shower head off, the propane tank automatically turns off, and the pump will automatically shutoff and going into standby mode, because it’s not sensing water flow anymore, and the power station will also go into standby mode to conserve battery life. And on a side note, the 350 watt peak/550watt hour power station I used was enough for twelve 10 minute shower session, without having to charge once. When it runs out of battery, I would switch to the generator while I put the power station on charge at the same time, and be used again later (I haven’t purchased a solar charger for it yet to make things a little easier. IMO, I chose to go with a power station because it’s just too costly on fuel and resources, and more work involved, to run a gas generator every time you need to shower). Don’t quote me on the exact numbers, but the pump I was using only draws around 35watts of energy, to 90watts max. So any generator and many power stations can handle the water pump easily. Anyways enough said about that… At the campsite, where I put that setup to the test, the temperature of our source of water, from the creek, was fluctuating somewhere around 36°F to 42°F. (Even in the day time, because there were some overcast clouds, and there were still patches of snow near our campsite). The distance to get the water from the creek, to the water heater at the shower station, was about 50 feet of travel, going up a sloped hill to roughly 20 feet higher than the creek. As expected, the water pump worked flawlessly, providing us with good pressure. With the water being that cold, I set the water heater temperature knob at 75% heat, and adjusted the water pressure down to 50% flow rate, and I was getting an Average of 104°F coming out of the shower head. I even tested the temperature knob set to max, and it got to 129°F, which was hot enough to burn and irritate the skin. So I am extremely satisfied in that category. And at 50% flow rate, it was just enough to keep the body soaked, and keeping me from feeling the surrounding cold ambient air temperature in the morning. Other people that went with me on this trip tested their preferences by adjusting the heater knob, and water pressure to their liking; and no matter how it was adjusted, we all got to shower with a minimum water temperature of 100°F. So all 21 people that went on this trip were extremely happy with this product and the setup we had. Every time we showered, the flames would burn with no issues at all, and not a single failure. So at 7,500 feet above sea level, there were zero issues with propane burning. As soon as you turn on the showerhead, the water was already warm enough to begin showering within 5 seconds. For 3days and 2nights, one 20-pound propane tank used for this setup, was enough fuel to provide hot 10 minute showers, for 21 people, showering twice a day. The 2D batteries that was required to ignite the propane also lasted on this trip without needing to be replaced. The only complaint I have about this water heater is that the fittings are cheap plastic. Rather than dealing with the possibility of it breaking, I decided to purchase brass fittings to replace them, and test them out, prior to going on this trip. Some parts I used were quick disconnect couplers for easier disconnecting of the hoses and pump for storage, and in case I needed to move things around. They’re more expensive, but well worth it! Here’s just to give you an idea of the cost of the water heater, with the pump I used, and upgrading to brass fitting (which I feel is a must IMO), and I also purchased 150 feet total of hoses. This will run you around $350-$380 dollars. Personally, I think if you camp often, and having hot showers is important to you, and if it’s within your budget, I say it’s worth it! Additionally, you can use it in other situations, or for other things, such as washing dishes. I DID NOT include the cost for a few things that were in my setup, because those items I personally feel are optional, or items that you probably plan on taking with you already to camp. Those items are showering tent, portable power station/generator, and propane. I also left out the cost for the additional sediment filter I purchased to put on the inlet hose, which is also optional for me (but I do somewhat recommend using it, even though the creek water was already clear). It was a 50micron sediment filter. So really I think the main important thing that you need for your water heater itself, is the water pump. I have the link to the water pump I used below. I hope this review help answer some questions you have. Enjoy and good luck on your purchase! * DC HOUSE 33-Series Black 115 Volt Water Pressure Pump 3.3GPM 45PSI with Power Plug Self Priming Water Pump Electric 115V AC for High-Flow Moderate-Pressure Booster Transfer Water Home Camping RV ... show more

This bad boy is a life saver!
Set name: 1.58 GPM
OK Amazon, I don't know why your asking me to rate this item's "thickness" and "sheerness" but I rated them both 5 stars because that's how amazing this thing is. I had a situation where I was going to have to live in my house without a gas water heater for about 2 month do to ongoing construction. All during the dead of winter. I run daily so I need to shower daily. For a couple of days I heated water in my crawfish boiler to take baths, but bringing two pots to boil takes about 45 minutes. Then I decided I would get free 1-day passes to local gyms to shower, but that's really annoying to have to leave the house, not to mention covid running around all over the place. So I thought I'll have to get some kind of temporary electric water heater, not so fast, those have to be hard wired and they cost $$$$. With all the internet searches I was doing it didn't take Google long to figure out what I was up to and an ad for this thing started popping up on social media. Fine, I'll bite. It looked like it might work for what I needed. But would it really consistently deliver water hot enough for a shower when the incoming water is 50°? Would 1.6 GPM be enough pressure for a decent shower? YES YES YES! Plenty of pressure. easily adjustable temperature. It seems to maintain the exact temperature throughout my shower. I've got this unit and my propane take bungied to a dolly and sitting outside my bathroom window, hooked up to a garden hose. I attached a hose shut off valve at the water input. All I do when I need to use it is reach out my window, turn on the propane tank and open the water inlet valve. BAM! INSTANT hot water. Five minute shower? Ten minute shower? FILL THE TUB? No problem. It just keeps delivering hot water. I did have to connect an extra shower head hose to make the hose long enough to reach. That's easy to do with a 1/2" threaded connector. Or you can just buy a longer hose if you want. The unit shuts off when there is no water and automatically turns on when it detects water flow, so you need to use the shower head provided as it has a shut off switch. Because the unit shuts off when there is no water you don't NEED to turn off your propane tank, but I do anyway, since those things leak half the time. Water temp is based on the temp of the inlet water. I think I read it can maintain a 35° temp increase at max water output. It does better than that. The incoming water was 50° or lower and the shower was hot, not warm, not lukewarm, HOT. So probably 95-100°. I've been using this for about six weeks without any problems. Once construction is complete and I don't need to use it for showing at home I plan to take camping and to my cabin. I don't have running water there so I will have to rig up something. Maybe I will update this review once I do that. Probably not. Pros: Instant hot water (WAY faster than my normal house water) Consistent water temp Automatic on/off Barely uses any propane Plenty of water pressure (and I have thick shoulder length hair) Has water flow control (I leave it on full) Has gas flow control (I DO NOT leave it on full) Cons: The plastic lock on the battery compartment is sensitive. Its popped open when I bumped it once. Unit will not work without the batteries installed. On "high" the water temp increase is probably 45°, which means if the ambient temps are 70 or above this will scald you for sure. Now that the temps are nearing 80 I have it set to the lowest setting and it's almost too hot. Water leaks a little from the output connection when in use. Since I have it outside I am not concerned. I'm sure I could use teflon tape and fix the leak if I wanted to. ... show more

Continuous Long HOT showers - after troubleshooting -- Works Great!
Set name: 1.58 GPM
We gave 4-stars based on the difficulty we had setting up the unit out of the box. We followed the instructions and troubleshooting but could not get the unit to work properly. We made several calls to excellent customer service and tech support who helped us go step by step through troubleshooting and propane tanks and back flushing lines, etc... It was confusing, but over the course of two weeks we finally got the unit to fire up as expected. We have the water flow dial set at its lowest setting and the flame on the lowest setting (completely opposite to the installation instructions) it only works on the lowest settings....But it works! The water is super hot, continuous flow and provides long hot showers with great water pressure. We have it hooked up to replace our 10-gallon water heater tank in our vacation home (44ft park model). We have two sinks, and one shower/tub and it supplies plenty of hot water for our needs (dishes, 2-showers per day).... if anything, the water is too hot, even turned down to its lowest settings.......... we can add more cold at our faucets and the showers are long and HOT! We would recommend this item to others with the caveat that you may need to fiddle with the installation dependent on your end use. We based this purchase on other reviews we read on this platform for ease of installation and continuous hot water. It was easy to physically hook-up/set-up and in the end (after fiddling the adjustments and troubleshooting with tech support) it does provide continuous hot water as advertised. ... show more

Initial Impressions Are Great
Set name: 1.58 GPM with Rain Cap
I'm still skeptical on the reliability or longevity of this unit, but after receiving it today and setting it up I am impressed. We are about to demo and remodel our only bathroom and shower, so I need an alternative until work is complete. Set up was a breeze, hooked right up to my garden hose, and ignited immediately. At full water pressure (about 100 PSI) it can't quite keep up, only gets to about 90 F. But if I adjust the water flow the temperature quickly climbs to where I like it, about 104 F. Water pressure is still adequate at that setting. I'd honestly be pumped if this thing worked for even a few months. I'll report back if anything changes. UPDATE: After using this every day for a few weeks, I am still impressed. Two things I have noticed though: The shower head does leak. I think this is problem for some people because the shower head has a water on/off switch, which controls the igniter for the water heater. If the shower head didn't leak, you could easily turn the water on and off from the shower head and leave it off without a considerable amount of water leaking in the area. Otherwise you have to worry about turning it off at the hose bib. I added a leak free valve where the garden hose connects to the water heater to solve that problem. The second thing I noticed was that using this in windy conditions, wind will extinguish the flame through the intake slots, and you will get a cold flow of water. Fortunately, this is easily and quickly fixed by turning off the flow of water at the shower head, and then turning back on. The water heater will automatically re-ignite and water will be hot again. We had a pretty windy day and I had to repeat this 3 times in about 10 minutes. ... show more

Does not work properly
Set name: 1.58 GPM with Pump
Honestly, I thought the portable tankless water heater would work great although it does heat up the water at a high temperature. It does not regulate water at a lower temperature. Definitely it runs the battery off sooner than I expected although it has good pressure the fact that it does not regulate water accurately makes it hard to use it. I will definitely not recommend to buy this product, I wish I could return it by my window of return has closed. Not sure if the product is effective, but the knobs are regulate. Don’t seem to do anything other than give you sculpting hot water. Honestly, it’s not even worth taking a picture or a short video of the product since every time I use it it just disappoints me. ... show more

A Good Daily Hot Shower

I have used this for my daily showers in hot or cold weather for the last 18 months. The good: - Good and hot showers down to just above freezing temperatures - Has proven reliable - D Cell batteries have only needed replacement once - Easy to install - 20 lb tank lasts about 2 months even with multiple people taking hot showers daily Could be better: - Fahrenheit temperature indication would be nice for us Americans. But hey I never had any shower temperature indication ever before in my life. - Due to constant exposure to steam and moisture (in a contained shower) the lower surface and lower mount points are beginning to rust. - A seasonal temperature adjustment switch would be nice to allow for a lower heat setting. I have found that summer showering can result in either too cold showers with the heater completely off or too hot of a shower with the heater at lowest setting. Tips to the user: - Flush the unit with vinegar periodically in order to avoid scale buildup. I had to do so just after a year of multiple daily showers. Water flow became erratic and temperature would climb due to restricted water flow. I performed my flushing with a diaphragm style water pump. - Install an inline filter (SHURFLO 255-313) - I would recommend installing a waterproof switch to disable the water heater if needed - I would use silicone sealant to seal the battery compartment (I have had a few instances of the device not turning on due to corroded batteries). - Drain the water heater by disconnected inlet and outlet hoses during freezing weather. ... show more

I bought a CAMPLUX water heater / shower on Amazon. I returned it because the shower head leaked. A brand new item, $250 of my hard earned money, I am entitled to a perfect unit. I bought a replacement and identical CAMPLUX water heater shower on Amazon and EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM! In fact this second shower head is leakier than the first! Two out of two with exactly the same problem I think that CAMPLUX needs to go back to the design board and make some minor adjustments. A thicker washer is ALL that is needed. I would return this second unit but what a waste of effort, waste of money, more of a carbon footprint, blah blah blah but most importantly I leave for vacation in two days so don't have that luxury. I'll have to go out of my way to go to a hardware store and find a washer that will work which is not really a big deal in the great scheme of things but it's just silly. On the positive side the unit is well made, the water is nice and hot, it's a reasonably priced unit and other than a leaky shower hose/head the rest is water tight. I'd give it a four but because of repeated problems you get a three. SHOULD get a 4.5. Gets a 3 (I am not going to be a troll and give it 1 or 2 stars). ... show more
