  • Works Great for Camping at Elevation 7,500 ft!
Material Type: 1.58 GPM | 41,000 BTU Style: Water Heater
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

  • A Good Daily Hot Shower
Material Type: 1.58 GPM | 41,000 BTU Style: Water Heater
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

  • Continuous Long HOT showers - after troubleshooting -- Works Great!
Material Type: 1.58 GPM | 41,000 BTU Style: Water Heater
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
