This is so easy to set up and use! Works great. Lots of safty features so i didnt feel like i might blow up the propane tank. Love having this in my yard this summer. I added an extra shower head and curtain feels like the spa
This outdoor shower is fantastic, I like it better than my indoor shower! Only critisism is the instruction manual has NOTHING on the set up and mounting.
I bought this item for a camp shower in a remote location in northern Minnesota. It was easy to install and provides continuous hot water, working much better than I had anticipated. The heater shuts off when the shower head Is shut off and reignites when the water is turned back on, so I plan to install a valve and water line to an outdoor sink as well. It came with all the fittings needed to use it right away.
Was looking for an easy way to get hot water to an outdoor shower. In a nutshell, the Camp Chef Triton 10L has been spectacular! What a great find. Only complaint is the plastic battery cover is kind of cheesy and doesn't close firmly. Other than that, it fires up immediately and heats the water within seconds. Don't think twice. Buy it!
I purchased this item to replace a 40 gallon tank water heater at our cabin, remotely located on an island in northwestern Ontario. Since our sole source of electricity is via solar and none of the vendors of tankless water heaters I questioned could provide details regarding peak or continuous amperage draw, I quickly ruled those out. Too little draw will damage the inverter. Too much will quickly deplete the battery bank. Being that this unit does not require an AC connection, it looked perfect. Installation is simple and straightforward. After hooking it up, the burner would intermittently shutoff and not re-ignite unless whatever outlet was drawing water was toggled off then on or the water flow dial was tinkered with. After double checking the inlet water pressure and flow rate, the problem had to lie elsewhere. Just as a test, I removed the front panel from the unit and started it. With the front panel off, it ran flawlessly. As soon as the cover was put back on, it became intermittent again. Since Camp Chef's offices are closed on the weekends, we made do by removing the front panel when we needed continuous hot water and putting it back on when not in use. After speaking with a customer support representative the problem was quickly fixed: The thermocouple had popped slightly loose during transit. 2 phillips screws and a simple re-mounting of the thermocouple and we were back in business. Or so I thought. After about 20 minutes of continuous operation, outlet pressure noticeably dropped and the burners shutoff again. This time it wasn't a problem with the unit itself but with too much debris coming from the inlet line, plugging the inlet screen (water pulled straight from the lake). Removed screen, cleaned it, and all was well. Lesson learned: Install a better sediment filter ahead of the unit because the one on the foot valve in the lake is insufficient. The unit delivers plenty of hot water through a 1/2" line for ther 2 sinks, 1 washing machine, and 1 shower at the cabin. My only complaints are: 1.) The troubleshooting section of the operator's manual is woefully inadequate. 2.) No parts diagram supplied with the unit. 3.) On the Parts Finder page of Camp Chef's site, nothing is listed for the Triton 10l, not even a downloadable operator's manual. 4.) Documentation inconsistencies. Camp Chef's site states that 25 psi inlet pressure is required. The manual states a minimum of 35 psi plus a minimum flow rate (which I cannot remember at this moment). The site makes no mention of the required flow rate. 5.) Customer support is not available on weekends. Overall I'm quite happy with the unit. It efficiently handles the task I need it to.
FINALLY!!!!! A hot shower in the wilderness. Just remember, you've got to have at least 25 PSI for this heater to start. I use a water holding tank and a small utility pump to generate the PSI. Love, love, love it!!
Took this on a 3 day camp trip with a family of 4.Everything worked great easy set up and plenty of hot water. Just to see if it could keep up the first trail was to turn it on high and leave it on for 45min non stop. It performed very well 2.5 gpm was like being at home.Water heats up with a 3-4 second delay awesome product.
The product delivers as advertised; however, I spent way too much time trying to get it to work. I performed all the troubleshooting possible including contact with customer service. Upon taking off the front cover to follow troubleshooting instructions I noted a button on the bottom (which no one mentioned) and upon switching that I was able to ignite. The instructions were hard to follow.
Did not have enough water pressure to operate this so I called them and they said to buy a small RV water pump, they also told me what brand works good with it. I called that company and they told me witch 2 models would work. I bought the one that is powered by 110 volts. Had a few trips to the hardware store for pluming fittings but now it Works GREAT...
It's tricky to start at first and doesn't always restart if it goes out. The "hot" water is not "HOT" and no one will get scalded in the winter. It does provide warm to almost hot water and is a lot better than a cold shower. It may work better in the summer when the tap water is a little warmer.
