How Do Portable Showers Work?

 

A portable water heater is an incredibly versatile device designed to provide hot water wherever you are. Perfect for outdoor activities like camping or tailgating, or essential for remote locations without standard utilities, portable water heaters ensure that the comfort of hot water is always within reach.

Our portable tankless water heaters operate on a straightforward and efficient principle: heating water on demand without electricity. This means that the water is heated as it flows through the device, rather than storing heated water like traditional water heaters do. Here’s a step-by-step look at how these outdoor showers work:

  • Power Source: Eccotemp Portable Water Heaters feature an electronic ignition, powered by four AA or two D cell batteries (depending on the model) and a standard 20 lb. propane tank, ensuring easy startup without electrical connections.
  • Water Source Connection: Your water source can be a simple garden hose connected to an outdoor spigot or a pump system drawing water from a nearby river or reservoir. Our Eccoflo Pump and Strainer is the perfect add-on for situations where pressurized water is needed but not available. The pump allows the heater to pull water from passive sources or a storage tank, making it truly adaptable to any environment.
  • Ignition and Heating: When you turn on the device, water flows through it, triggering the ignition of internal burners. These burners heat the water quickly and efficiently as it passes through the model.
  • Temperature and Flow Control: Our portable outdoor water heaters offer a wide temperature range of 50-120 degrees Fahrenheit. Tailor both water temperature and flow rate using intuitive adjustable knobs located on the device's front panel. Models vary in capacity, efficiently delivering 1.5 to 3 gallons per minute (GPM), ensuring ample hot water for your needs. The inclusion of an LED display on our Luxé models allow for effortless monitoring and adjustment of settings to achieve your ideal heat and intensity. Our portables pack a powerful punch with 37,500 to 75,000 BTU, accommodating water pressures from 20 to 80 psi for consistent, reliable performance.
  • Safety Features: Safety is a key consideration. These water heaters are equipped with features like automatic shut-off in case of accidental tipping over enhancing their safety in various outdoor environments.

Portable water heaters represent a blend of convenience, efficiency, and innovation. They provide a critical solution for hot water needs in non-traditional settings, ensuring that comfort is never too far away, no matter where your adventures may take you. Whether you’re a camper, a traveler, or someone who works in remote areas, the portable water heater stands as a testament to human ingenuity in adapting modern conveniences to the great outdoors.

How Do I Get Pressurized Water Off-Grid?

 

Achieving pressurized water in off-grid settings is made efficient with tools like the Eccotemp Eccoflo Pump and Strainer. This system is engineered to provide consistent water pressure from unconventional sources such as rivers, streams, or barrels, enhancing your ability to shower, wash dishes, clean equipment, bathe pets, and more. Featuring a self-priming capability, the Eccoflo Pump allows for safe dry operation without risking damage. Operating on 12V, this versatile pump is ideal for remote locations and includes all necessary components for straightforward installation. Its compact, portable design makes it perfect for outdoor adventures, camping, horse shows, or emergencies where conventional plumbing is inaccessible. The Eccoflo Pump and Strainer delivers the convenience of pressurized water, wherever you are, improving comfort and expanding possibilities in remote or off-grid environments.

Here are some expert tips for maximizing the performance of your off-grid water sources with the Eccotemp Eccoflo Pump and Strainer:

  • Inspect Connections: Before each use, verify that all connections are secure and leak-free to enhance efficiency and prevent water loss.
  • Check Water Quality: Ensure your water source is clear of contaminants to protect the pump’s integrity and maintain water quality.
  • Optimal Placement: Keep the pump near your water source and ensure the intake hose is completely submerged to avoid air pockets and ensure steady water delivery.
  • Routine Maintenance: Regularly clean and inspect your pump for signs of wear and store it in a dry place when not in use to extend its lifespan and guarantee consistent performance over time.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can fully harness the capabilities of the Eccotemp Eccoflo Pump and Strainer, securing a reliable and convenient water supply for various needs in any off-grid situation.

Do Portable Water Heaters Use Electricity?

 

Eccotemp portable water heaters are engineered to function without the need for traditional electrical connections. These units typically use an electronic ignition system, which is quite efficient. For instance, the ignition in these water heaters is powered by batteries—either four AA or two D cell batteries depending on the specific model. This setup is particularly advantageous because it means you can operate the heater in locations without direct access to electrical infrastructure.

Additionally, these outdoor showers run on a standard 20 lb. propane tank, which supplies the energy needed for heating the water. This combination of battery-powered ignition and propane fuel ensures that the heater can be used in virtually any outdoor setting without relying on electricity from a grid.
