Adjustable Temperature Showering

When it comes to showering after a day of outdoor activities, riding the open road, or enjoying the simplicity of a back-to-basics lifestyle, the last thing you'd want to experience is a blast of cold water. Fortunately, there is a way to have convenient, instant access to warm water wherever you go. You can set it to your comfort level, and easily adjust the temperature for different scenarios:

  • Rinsing off the sand and surf after a day at the beach
  • Washing the mud off your rambunctious, puddle-hopping kids
  • Removing that post-fishing funk
  • Hosing off the corrosive grime from your boat, car, RV, or motor sport vehicles
  • Bathing your beautiful show horse or dog far from home

Each Eccotemp L5 and Luxe model portable propane water heater comes equipped with a shower head for easy setup.You can quickly access on-demand heated water after hooking the portable water system up to a 20-pound propane tank and water hose and attaching it to your structure or vehicle's exterior or to a nearby post.

How it works

Unlike a traditional tank style water heater, a tankless water heater only heats water that is passing through it. When the flow of water stops, the heater shuts off. That way, you only heat the water when needed. A portable water heater takes that concept a step further, heating water where you need it.


Here are a few more benefits of Eccotemp's portable tankless water heaters:


No Venting: L5, Luxé, and L10 models are made for temporary outdoor installation and don't require venting.


No Electricity: These water heaters run on regular household batteries you can find at any store ("D" cell or "AA" depending on the model) and standard 20-pound propane tanks. No hard-to-find or proprietary batteries.


Easy Carry Convenience: They are lightweight and easy to transport wherever you go. The L5 and Luxé models even come with carrying handles.


User Controlled Temperature: With a simple twist of the dials, you can set the temperature anywhere from 50 to 120- or 140 degrees Fahrenheit.


No Faucet? No Problem: If you're setting up camp in an area that doesn't have access to a water spigot, you can even pump from a nearby body of water like a lake or stream or a portable water source to your portable water heater using the EccoFlo 12v Water Pump and Strainer.


And Best of All, Your Water Heater Is Completely Portable: It's not permanently attached to one location. No complicated installation or permanent modification of your property or vehicle.
