- In this video I will show you a really nice hot water heater. This uses propane and it makes the water very hot. You can use this hot water to shower, wash dishes, make hot cocoa, etc. The possibilities are endless. I will show you everything you need to know about this water heater. Note I have had 2 of these so far, and I like them.
Here is a nicer version amzn.to/3wsQ6fA

Here’s a video on taking a heater into the middle of nowhere and having a shower and all of a sudden there’s a beautiful hose hooked up to it but nobody talks about where the water comes from. You need a pressurized water source that’s from 12 V pump and that 12 V pump requires power to run it i.e. solar panels and Inverter, etc. So where does the water come from from? Maybe you should do a video on that
THIS!!! Even Camplux claims they work for “tent camping” but I can’t find anyone talking about how they’re connecting water source.
Even if we figured out how to connect it to the large farm tank in back of truck it would still required a pump + power source ☹️
It runs off batteries and propane.
@@Freddyfasb The heater itself yes…but they require a pump in order to regulate water pressure going into the unit. No one talks about how they are powering the pump or accessing a water source with proper flow.
@@Snail_Nailz You plug the pump power cord into your cigarette plug in in your truck.
@@FreddyfasbThat does not cover PUMPING the water IN.
This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).
Thank for this video! I got everything out of the box, scratched my head, and then came to your video for help. 👍
used mine for the first time yesterday...i'm in heaven :-)
Great video! I just bought 1 to use at my cabin. I will be using creek water to supply mine. Thanks for making this video for us.
soooo, do you bring your garden hose from home and screw it onto the faucet where you're camping in the woods ???
It's so great to shower in the camp. I also will set one up as an emergency backup.
Cool,great for an off grid cottage too…🎉
thank you for saving me 159$ for a new tank. when i seen you take the batteries out i knew my grandma told me look into it before i buy tomorrow.
You never mentioned where the water comes from. Magically appears?
It does require a pressurised water supply...which is not available outdoors in most cases...so, it's not usable anywhere...only where water tap is available...that is a deal breaker...manufacturers must been added built in water pump.
I run mine with a water pump connected to a solar panel but it's not a Camplux its an Ecotemp but the temperature control doesn't seem to work so its way too hot! Same with the last one?
They sell them with water pumps, visit (revere overlanding) UA-cam video and he'll show you how to make it portable without pressurized water, just a pump and jerry can.
12v water pump, or if you have one of those black PVC tubes for water you can pressurize.
Jesus Christ…be resourceful. Get a power source, a pump, and a water source…can you figure out the rest???
Just bought one, love it
Excellent!
We love ours!!!
Very helpful video thank you, do you happen to know how you would connect the water to a 5 gallon bucket if you don't have a garden hose with water supply handy ?
Here wondering the same.
There is a hose in the kit for CAMPLUX brands.
Didn't show hose hookup and that's where I had an issue with the unit as my hose would need to be detached and reattached which was a pain!
Hi, great video, could you provide model# as I couldn't find in your link. Also can this be adjusted to do a quick 2 to 3 minute shower using limited water. Enough to wet you
down in and out quick, I pack in my water and it's a long way to replenish. thanks.
It would be useful to know where the water is coming from? I guess it's pumped?
from a hose, you need running water for this
@@TheInternetSorcerer thanks for this mate no good then for camping near a river or using buckets of water. has to have hose connected to tap?
Well duh! from a hose or some kind of water source. Works with as low as 2.5 pounds of pressure
@@SooSmokie they also have a water pump version so it’s actually a smart question. No need for hate.
@@talea5604 Water pump version? No they don't. all of these on demand water heaters need water from a hose and running water. So no it's not a smart question.
great products reviews. Thank you for sharing.
Great video for beginners perfectly described in great detail thank you so much
Cool a GLORY HOLE with a shower addition.
Can you run soapy water through it? my kids would love that!
Great gadget!!
Can you explain how I can blend the hot and cold coming from the hot by splitting from the hot? Ty
Why did you not show the quick connect for the cold water? That was the only question I had
What button did you press? Never get to see how the propane turns on. 😢
Thanks for the education
how quickly does the water heat up? I wouldn't want to go through much water waiting for it to heat up if I had limited water
Well it heats up pretty quickly as it is "on demand". I've only connected this to an "endless water supply" but it does heat up very quickly, super fast. There are different models too. The one in the description is good(the link is there), and there are others I think that are better but cost more. Good luck.
What a great video. Outstanding.
Thank you....
So does this suck up the water or does the water need to be pumped in?
Great video thanks for sharing
Hi I enjoyed your video. So my problem is my campflux is to hot. I have a 12 volt pump connected to it because I am off grid. I have the water on min along with the gas on min but the water is hot. Any hacks or suggestions to get my water not as hot? I will say I enjoy my camplux. Alicia
It would take a slight knowledge of plumbing, but if you install a "Tee" in supply cold line and a "Tee" in the output hot line and connect the 2 with a shutoff valve, you can then turn the valve on a little bit which will mix in some cold water. If it's a permanent install, you could use a shower valve, connecting the hot to the hot side of the shower valve and Tee into the cold line to supply cold water to the shower valve, and then it would work like a regular shower.
Sorry, I see what you are saying now. I have a generator with 12 V car charger. The new campflux has a port for a car charger.
The most important The most important information about the operation method is missing due to the photographer moving between the two rooms
looks awesome. might get one
These are good but the shower head broke quickly. After 2 seasons, ours stopped working and leaks from the inside even though we drained it.
how long will the tank last
Can the tank be in the laid down position while in use?
Can you use the small tanks with this?
I've seen people use 1lb tanks for 3 hour showers
Where is your water pressure coming from?
Really informative, thanks.
Thank you for your video great information was just wondering what you would think about I've seen some people do this I have a portable hot tub and I was going to put one of these units on the side of my house to heat my hot tub during the colder winter months maybe leave it on low when I'm not using it and then turn the temperature up when we want to get in even through the snowing months would you have any advice on that and thank you so much
does it suck out of a bucket?
I like warm showers though. 🚿 not cold or hot just warm. At what setting would I have to put it on or is it just hot water with the propane tank?
🤦♂️
Just attempted setting up . Literally caught on fire. Camplux customer service is so unhelpful and unconcerned to a point that is honestly shocking. They have no intention of rectifying or elucidating the issue. Truly dangerous and negligent
Does it have to be fed from a hose? Will it pull water from a tank?
I have see many videos that do this and it seems to work fine
Good evening would this work with the gas canister Coleman c500s gas bottles thanks
Also how long have you found the batteries to last in how many showers before dead
How many showers per tank?
Per propane tank? A lot!! I don’t even know because it’s so many. One regular size tank should last you a long time. I’m trying to remember but k think at least a few months.
Thanks. Has anyone ever used this to hook up to an outside sink?
Oh my gosh girl, get to the operation of the thing!
And then you didn't even show how to start it...
I own 2, sold one to a friend... But she's not familiar so it would have been a great thing to show how to hook it to the water & propane tank.
LOL! I hear ya, and she barely knew how to connect and explain the first half of it, "this is really easy" but has multiple problems, ha. hard to trust this person. Anyways, how long does one of these run for on a normal sized propane grill tank?
Anybody ever had a crack in the copper pipes on the inside? How did you fix?
Sauder that pipe
Anybody replace the red and blue fittings with something better? With what?
What model is this?
Would’ve been helpful to show how you ignite it
Where is water coming from?
you connect a hose to it
So if you are camping and you don't have access to running water, then one of those solar bladders is your best bet. You can hang it from a tree, it heats up, and then you can use that water to shower. You still have to have a water source though like a river or a lake or something though.
This one is good if you have water at your campsite. Works great. This is my 2nd one.
Hope this helps.
@@TheInternetSorcerer I used the 1/2 inch adapter and screwed it into a 1/2 inch water hose that I cut to length to go into my 7 gallon reliance water container/tank with a shurflow water pump, the kit I got came with a pump, but it was a 3/8 hose hookup, which was actually useless for my application, so I bought the shurflow water pump which has 1/2 inch inlets/outlets on both sides, so I put a stainless steel 1/2 inch sink hose onto the pumps inlet side that goes into the heater, and 1/2 inch water hose that goes in my 7 gallon tank, and stored it all in a big gun case that I keep in my van for portable camping, and for reference to what I'm talking about visit (revere overlanding) UA-cam video to see exactly what I'm talking about, I came to see how to control the temperature and you did a good job at showing that, thx.
how much propane for 20 showers ?
That’s a good question but a regular size tank like the ones they sell stores will last 20 showers for sure.
How do you start it?????
The button is on the shower head that ignites the propane
Could someone reach out to me about how to do the split for this for cold/hot water? I have this exact kit but curious how to do hot/cold
you need a double outlet plumbing joint, the water passes the pump, hits the double outlet, 1 stream of water going through the water heater (hot), the other direct (unheated) to the mixer tap.
The negative is the spring
How much
Placed my order on the 6th receive confirmation number. A week later receive an email stating they are out of stock and won't know when they will have a unit available for 5 weeks. So my only option are to cancel my order or wait for 5 weeks for news when they will be available. Even right now on this website it shows they have units available for sale and have a delivery date for a week and half. Very disappointed and I will be telling everyone to avoid this company. I put a one star review on their website and It never registered my review it appears they only put 5 and 4 stars on their website. Be careful with this company.
came here to know about the heater not a how to assemble.. cool vid tho
thank you:)
wheres the water
You never show up how to start
misleading as it needs a water pump also
Come on for real they had to tell you you needed to put the o- rings in!!!! Common sense.
"THIS IS KINDA A LITTLE VALVE PIECE, I don't know what it's for" You might want to put a bit more effort into a review, especially one that involves flammable gases. Reminds of a kid doing a book report with no effort or research.
Who are you? the review police?
Who are you the review police?
All I wanted was a review!!!! It's crazy that some people don't have enough common sense to do this without help!!!! We need to leave them alone that way only the people that have sense will survive!!!! That's what's wrong today we want to save everyone but that goes against natural selection!!! Let them go that's what's going on with our gene pool to many weak links!!!!
Who hurt you? Get some therapy.
I have one and tried to use it today, but the water was extremely hot, and I wanted to know how to control the temperature, and after watching this video I now have tried this method and it worked, she did a wonderful job doing this tutorial for many who was pretty confused about certain aspects of this product, because the instructions are useless.
@@StacyForest738 lmao spot on 😆😆😆
You act like this is rocket science!!!! If you don't have enough sense to put it together you don't need to be wasting air!!!!!
you are out of line - if you don't like the video don't watch it. gfy
Dude! Have you ever watched a college student or know-it-all millennial assemble anything? They can't read or understand the simplest diagram or instructions.
THIS IS FOR THEM.
@@imdeplorable2241 Don't lump us all into one group grandpa.
@@imdeplorable2241 It's cause your generation didn't teach us.
its look like you rent cernobal water heter gaz nuclear masina :)))))
How do you ignite it??
I think she said it has one on it. That's what the D batteries are for.
Yeah Roland, I just bought a used fifth wheel camper that has a digital unit, but think the built in igniter, which I believe is on a knob, or isn't working to light the pilot light, if it has one, I guess. If anyone knows how to light it, with maybe a grill lighter, I would appreciate the info.
The water will ignite the burners as soon as it feels the pressure if your batteries are good.
@@surfrat43 if it doesn't ignite probably the water is not pressurised enough so the flame will go out
