Heat water for cooking, to wash dishes, take showers, and make tea and coffee in just five seconds, with the Coleman Hot Water-On-Demand Portable Water Heater. Whether you're boating or camping, the Coleman Portable Water Heater will make your experience of the outdoors easier and more comfortable with on demand hot water.
With variable temperature control from scalding (hot enough for tea or coffee) to cold and anywhere in between, the Coleman Portable Water Heater provides on-demand hot water as you need it. The heater comes with a 5-gallon collapsible water container but can be adapted for use with a hose with an additional accessory (sold separately) for continuous flow water. The heater works to heat water in just five seconds with a built in propane fueled burner (propane sold separately). Unlike traditional methods of heating water in the great outdoors (think tiny camp stove and two gallon pot) the heater is equipped with a built in igniter so you can turn the water on and off as you need it. A simple turn of the heater's dial delivers the hot water in just five seconds.
The Coleman Hot Water-On-Demand Heater can heat 40 gallons of water on just one Coleman 16.4 ounce propane bottle and a single pump battery charge. Additional accessories that are sold separately include: a spray adapter for showering, a carry case, a water hose adapter for continuous water flow, and a bulk propane adapter.

About Coleman
The Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957--the birth of the modern cooler--and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.

I used this heater last summer, for washing dishes, and showers while boat camping. Heater works off a propane canister, so have extras of those. Pump depends on a small battery that has its own compartment. I carried a spare battery out of caution, but didn't need it on my longest trip of three nights with three people. I would guess 6-7 short showers were taken, along with washing dishes and hand washings during meal prep.Easy to use. Variable temp. control, from cold to scalding just like a water tap at home, (though a much lower pressure) The water gets hot very quickly.Instructions say not to use lake or stream water. I decided that applies if you are going to use the heater for cooking or drinking water. Since I use mine only for dish-washing/hand-wahing/showering, I ignored this instruction. There is an attachment for hooking to a garden hose, but I didn't get this as I don't camp where potable water is avialable. If you camp with kids, once it is used with non-potable water, I stongly recommend that you make sure they understand that they are not to drink water from the tap.I found that a large three gallon collapsable bucket was much handier than the collapable container supplied.As I remember, I purchased the shower attachment seperately. After our first camp trip with the heater, I replaced the hose on the shower attachment with a longer piece of plastic tubing bought at the hardware store, as the original tube was too short to work well. This was real easy to do and not very expensive and I would recommend it if you are more than four feet tall and want to use the heater for showers.This is unit is not for pack-backing. But it you car camp or boat camp away from hot water and like the luxury of running hot water, this is a great unit. Not that heavy and and no bigger than a small cooler.I have a Zodi which I used before I got this. The Zodi does a good job of heating water and is somewhat lighter and more compact. I like the Coleman better however. The swing-out spout on the Coleman may look like a gimmick, but if your are washing dishes over a dishpan it realy is an advantage. The instant on/off feature of the Coleman is a also great advantageespecially when showering. You can rinse off, shut off the water, soap up and turn on the water for a final rinse with just a turn of a dial. Since even three gallons of water goes fast, the ease of shutting off the unit "in between" is very handy. With the Zodi the best approach I found was to put the shower-head in the water supply "in between." This works, but it means the burner is continuing to run, using fuel, and if your are not quick, the water can get hotter than you may want. (Shuting off the Zodi means you have to get out the lighter or matches to relight, which can be a pain if you are wet and soapy.) With the Colman's built in igniter, a simple turn of the dial gets every thing going again. By the way, so far the igniter has worked as flawlessly as the one on the gas range top at home. You turn the dial, you hear a little "swoosh" as the burner comes on, and you have hot water.I also bought the carry case which I recommend.
