Very disappointed with this unit

published

Very disappointed with this unit. Purchased it and pump direct from Joolca 18/01/17. Used it twice on a camping trip 26/01/17. Shower rose broke so replaced it with after market metal one. Next time I tried to use the unit it would not ignite. Sent back to Joolca on 16/02/18 for repairs. It worked maybe twice again then sat in the camper as dead weight. Tried again recently and again would not ignite. (Joolca suggests maybe a pressure switch). As unit is now out of warranty Joolca no longer back the product. Having used it only about 10 times in 3 years it still looks brand new. I will be cutting my losses, trash the unit and buy a different brand.

Purchased in January 2021 at Joolca.

We are very pleased with the Joolca, easy to set up & use works great.

published

Everything works as described, we had a minor issue that was quickly sorted out by the Customer Service department. There was a very slight leak where the shower head screwed on, this was replaced quickly at no charge. The customer service was fantastic, a rare thing these days! They also followed up later to make sure we were satisfied.

Purchased in January 2021 at Anaconda Physical store for $499.00.

With Joolca camping is fantastic!

published

I've only used it once but it works well. It wont get super hot like a house hot water system but then again this is not a shower you stand under for half an hour. The on off switch on the shower head is a great feature and being able to have a proper shower when camping is fantastic.

Best Shower Ever

published

I purchased a Joolca Hottap Outing for a recent camping trip to Wunglebung in NSW. I was surprised to discover that they already had these HWS in place set up in a horse float bathroom of all things......so I used theirs!!!
Outside temp was -3 Celsius. Water temp was consistent every time. The shower was amazing. Go Joolca!!!

So good!!

published

The Hottap is great for our situation! We live off the grid and only need hot water for a few months each year. It is set up in our open-air bathroom and is working a treat. So good to have instant hot water without having to light the old donkey!

Great product!

Great product. We have a regular hottap also, but all the extra bits that come with the outing are incredible, the pump alone is worth more than the price difference. Company support is fabulous. Highly recommend this company and their products.

Joolca HOTTAP essential piece of equipment

I have used the Joolca HOTTAP regularly for the last 3 mths and cannot fault it. After a few adjustments during the setup, I have found it does everything that is required. I confidently recommend this Joolca Hottap as an essential piece of equipment

Brilliant Bit of Aussie Ingenuity!

published

What a great piece of kit this product is! Quality fittings with a rugged construction. Once water pressure and gas flow was sorted we were enjoying warm showers. The only thing that could be improved is having to lower the flow rate to get a higher temperature, but honestly, this is truly a minor inconvenience, and only an issue in really cold weather.

Joolca Hot Tap

published

The Joolca HotTap is a remarkable unit, I purchased it in 2015 and is still going strong in 2022. I cannot fault it at all. Water temp stays at the settings I set and the unit will cut off if the pressure gets too low. Fail safe work well.

The Greatest Travel Companion

published

I am very impressed with the shower. I have caravanned and camped since the early 60's with many combinations of rigs and I must admit that this is possibly the greatest. We have it set up to operate in an ensuite Annexe on a small van and it has operated and performed wonderfully. It's the wife's favourite piece of equipment.The product is simple to install and operate and appears to be well constructed. Couldn't recommend it better.

Great Product, a must have for us.

published

What a great quality product, easy to put together straight out of the box, easy to use out camping and everyone was happy to have hot running water from showers to washing up, thanks guys great product. We have used this unit only a couple of times, once it ran for 3 people having showers straight after each other and worked perfectly, a small adjustment was needed at the start but then it just kept the temps perfect.

Hi Doug you won't get a reading on the unit untill it actually fires up now I know this might sound like silly question but have you put the batteries in correct and made sure the battery holder has actually clicked into place if you have then I would give the staff at joolca a call or flick them an email. I have found they are very help full and quick to respond.

Have Joolca changed shower heads in recently? I have had my original shower head replaced under warranty this year due to a leak and now the replacement shower head is leaking. Leak is directly from the shower rose while in the off position.
