CAMPLUX Tankless Water Heater Outdoor, 1.32 GPM Portable Propane Camping Water Heater, 5L, AY132, White

Great, functional product perfect for camping or off grid cabins, etc. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN TIGHTENING THE FITTING FOR HOT WATER OUT. You need to be extremely careful and delicate or you can break the unit. It’s meant for camping and garden hoses. If you are doing a permanent installation with something like pex and brass fittings, be very careful and gentle. MAKE SURE AND DRAIN THE UNIT DURING FREEZING TEMPS. This is super easy and takes five seconds. I’ve lost 3 of these to freeze damage. For any kind of permanent installation, YOU NEED A PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE IN THE HOT WATER LINE OUT JUST A FEW INCHES OUTSIDE OF THE UNIT. This will keep your pipe from exploding in the event that the heat exchanger gets clogged from degree in the water supply and hot water pressure builds up inside the unit. If you have a shower that automatically mixes hot and cold water (one handle) it’s possible that you may only get warm water if your water source is very cold. The best kind of faucets (sink and shower) for this water heater is the kind that has a separate handle for hot and cold. This allows you to get only hot water. Some faucets that have only one handle will mix hot and cold water even when the handle is turned all the way to hot. This is only a concern when temps are below 40 degrees.

This Company is top notch in my opinion, I have purchased several products from them and they never disappoint. This water heater is OUTSTANDING. I have also purchased there two burner propane cook top, it works like a charm. You cannot go wrong with these products and most definitely this Company. I will also add, there Customer Support, is absolutely the BEST! Thank you Camplux!!

I mounted mine in a Pelican-like case which holds the Tankless Water Heater, hoses, electric pump etc. We have a teardrop trailer, so the above modular kit makes it easy to set up. Just hang the kit on hook or tree limb, drop the water intake hose into a 5 Gal. Jerrycan, connect the pump to 12V power source, connect gas hose to the propane tank and enjoy a nice, hot shower. Our trailer has a water tank but no hot water, so the kit also doubles as hot water source for cleaning dishes, dogs, whatever. The Camplux works great, setting the temperature is a bit touchy but after using it a few times you'll get used to adjusting the water pressure and/ or temperature knob to have a nice comfy shower. You can also just cycle the hot water back into the water can to warm the source up for a nice consistent tenp. This setup makes us Happy Campers and was worth the cost and effort.

I have always been one to try and give credit where credit is due. I got off to a rocky start with the Camplux portable water heater, and still don't know why the unit failed. I guess I'll keep it for spare parts. However, Camplux support got involved and were responsive to my issues. Unable to solve my problem over the phone with tech support, they sent me a new heater. So far so good. When these heaters work, they work well. I hope to enjoy this one a little longer. I will add that one needs to be really careful when the temperatures start to dip down towards freezing. Per the owner's manual, I drained the heater as instructed by unscrewing the drain plug. It turns out that was not nearly enough. I got up to a shattered shower head and broken water line on the side of the heating element. Fortunately, I had another shower head and was able to solder the break without too much effort. Now that fall is here at 7,000', I not only drain the unit, but remove the water source, disconnect the hot water outlet to the shower head, and run the unit out of water till it is drawing air and no longer discharging water. And for good measure remove the shower head as I had a second one break even with the hot water hose disconnected and drained. As I said, so far so good. It's nice to have a functioning (and our only) shower again. So, Kudos to Camplux support staff for standing behind their product. I would give them four stars for their support and ultimately resolving the problem. Thanks. So, I purchased two of these units for a four-day outdoor wedding on our property in CO. I installed one in a shower I built, and the other in a makeshift kitchen. We were feeding (and washing dishes for) approximately 35 guests for the weekend. The unit I installed in the kitchen worked briefly then failed right in the middle of the party-No clicking sound, no hot water. To say this was a major inconvenience would be an understatement. The other one in the shower is now failing: the hot water hose that came with the unit for the shower head is about to explode in multiple places and the unit no longer produces hot water. It clicks, fires up, the water flows, but even on the maximum gas setting the water is warm at best. Yes, there is adequate propane to both units, they both new batteries, and adequate water pressure via RV water pumps. I am using the shower heads provided. I have been trying to work with the support folks at Camplux and though they seem willing to trouble shoot, I still have two of these heaters and neither one works properly. They were going to send me a new micro switch, but tracking says the switch hasn't even been shipped yet. The wedding was on August 26, 2023. I have been disappointed with these heaters and will be looking for an alternative as I still need two more for our winter residence south of the border. I would suggest doing your own research and looking into possible alternatives.

Small, easy to set up. Works in freezing temps. Can get super hot!

Easy installation and quick heat, good flow.

Like how easy to install

Product arrived in a damaged box which I suspect was a used unit that Amazon shipped and not working properly but the seller immediately replaced it.
