Thanks for the review, I'm trying to keep it simple, and not do a heater/Pelican box contraption. Also, here's a safety tip. Run a drip-loop, so if any water runs down the cord, it won't make it to the plug...just a little trick I learned with my wet-saw, lol.
@@dianeibsen5994 A drip loop is a sag in the cord so if water runs down, it won't make it to the power outlet. Google this: Tile Saw QuickTip: Drip Loop
We just bought one for our bath tub as we don't have a tank water heater or hot water on demand. Use to heat water on our wood stove. It was pain. We also have a camp shower u can put in a 5 gallon bucket and use to take showers. We make it work. Simple life I call it. Don't need all the modern things, learn to live without
Growing up poor had to improvise been knowing that hack since the late 70's. Foster care eventually stepped in and Life got better and recreational activities got learned and still applies Today. USB is so cool to have on portable devices that really work and do what they claim.
Similar ones are easy to find in Central America and the 1000 watts heat up a 5 gallons under 10 minutes. With a folding 20 liters bucket and an battery shower pump,i have hot showers in cheap $5 hostel rooms. If I camp instead,i have the watercell x and the sun heats up the water...
I have the KickAss propane hot water system mounted on my CTC, I also have a 250w fishtank heater similar to what you have and it works great as a back up. Took about an hr and our water was at 86F.
Thx for making this video. I'm waiting for one to be delivered. I ordered the exact same one you have but I accidentally ordered one with a European voltage 2 prong ac. Not an electrician but I'm pretty sure I need a step up transformer not just an adapter. Oh well at least I got the digital thermometer with it. The second one I ordered was only 8 bucks. Anyone need a free euplug immersion heater?
I am not positive I ever did that, I don’t think so because it is made for the water, but it might say in the listing on Amazon, maybe in the questions and answers section.
Not from the few times I have used this. People comment that “You need electricity for this”, and yeah, you would need a campground with electricity or at least a generator. There might be a more expensive option for instant hot water, but this has worked just fine for me. Sure, you have to wait a little bit, but so what? Do something camping related while you are waiting. Or, this could be used at home if for some reason your hot water heater went out or something.
@@CampItClub I am SUV camping with a power generator and i kept trying to come around to using the aquarium style heaters and today found out about this one and other bucket/pool heaters, it's ingenious and again think all people should use this in relation to bath and showering because even a car battery while running and then recharged would have no issues having a 20 min 1500 or 2000 watt inverter and a submerged water heater Period
Thank you. Our hot water tank is leaking, having just replaced HVAC we're deep in 9k hole, spending 1500-2k to replace the hot water isn't feasible. Looking into our options
I read in the comments those might be 1000 watts. I'd like to see a test on how much of my Jackert power it uses. Doing vanlife and my power is precious when remote docking. I know anything with a heating element drains power quick. I'm slowly learning how much everything uses, time limits and more efficient ways to do EVERYTHING. I wonder, is there a usb powered immersion heater?
Hey Bro,can i quote your video to Amazon and let more customer have a better ubnderstanding of the product which be really appreciated .As soon the spring is coming which is great for camping .And many customer they have asked me how to use while camping your video really helped a lot .So i am wondering if this is ok ,Look forward for your reply with many thanks.

@@joshn2342323 I take morning showers. I produce a lot of scalp grease so its best to wash that off right before going into work. Otherwise, I think you have the better idea.
Can you tell me what containers that have an actual spigot. Can handle hot, water hot temperatures. Looking for a gallon gallon and a half size with a spigot that "lifts up" Also, are these safe is there any chance for electric shock?
You might be able to find a gallon jug at the grocery store, not sure about getting those too warm. Also, yeah, electricity and water shouldn’t go together, so I suppose there is always a chance of shock. Just use as directed.
I did submerge the whole thing. It has been a while, but I am pretty sure some of the cord was in the water too. I don’t think I was paying attention to be careful not getting the cord wet. You could probably attach some sort of drip loop to it, so water would run back down that and not get to the plug.
If it stops warming up how do you fix it wouldn't it be because the coil is burnt I had mine not that long ago and it just stopped working I can plug it in the light opens up but the coil does not heat up so how do you fix it how do you get it out of that so you can pull it out and fix it
I don’t know how you would fix it, especially since it might be the heating element. If you are able to contact the company, or where you ordered it from, you might be able to get it replaced.
Can you plug that nro a cigarette lighter in a vehicle? Or to a cordless battery generator ? I don't have access to electric but car camp and need something without power from a standard outlet. And hat do you use to spray or apply the water to you as you shower from the 7 gallon container?
Hi, good question about if you could plug it into a cigarette lighter. Maybe, if you had an adapter. I bet you could plug it into a battery generator, like a mid sized Jackery. But, not entirely sure. If you try, let me know how it works. I did a video where I use this in my camp shower setup, and show the sprayer I use. I also have a link to it in the description of that video. You can view the video here: ua-cam.com/video/FJrulPv5dik/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching.
