Know before you buy
No, this unit is strictly designed for outdoor use. It requires proper ventilation to operate safely, so it should never be installed inside a home, garage, or enclosed camper.
This heater is designed to work with low water pressure, requiring a minimum of 2.5 PSI. This makes it compatible with most gravity-fed water systems or standard garden hose connections.
The electronic ignition is powered by two 'D' cell batteries. This allows you to use the heater completely off-grid without needing access to an electrical outlet.
Yes, you can control the water temperature by adjusting the gas and water flow knobs on the front of the unit. Keep in mind that the maximum temperature rise is 114.8°F, so the final output depends on the temperature of your incoming water source.
Yes, the heater includes the essential accessories for immediate use, including a gas regulator and hose to connect to a standard propane tank.
The unit weighs 10 pounds and features a built-in handle, making it very easy to transport. Its compact dimensions of 4.33 inches wide by 14.8 inches high allow it to fit easily in a storage bin or RV compartment.
