Perfect

published

My wife and I used the HOTTAP Outing last weekend. Worked well, even with poor water pressure, instant hot water, only problem was wind blowing out flame, contacted Joolca and was given friendly advice how to remedy the problem from Cameron. Highly recommend this product. Have just purchased one of the shower tents."

Perfect piece of engineering

published

Great piece of engineering, Wife extremely happy with her hot shower last weekend camping by a river.
Light weight, recommend getting the carry case keeping everything in a well made protective bag.
All the inlet hoses, gas fittings hoses and 12V pump for off grid are quality made.

Campers look no further for your hot water solution !

Great Product but have to keep out of a small breeze

published

I had no issue using the Hottap straight out of the box. It is simple to set up. Used it a few times using mains water. However took it camping to use with a pump and went through all water trying to get it to stay lit due to the breeze. So tip is make it breeze proof by taping up vents.
Good service by Joolca.

A great camp product for people and animals.

published

We purchased from Bunnings. Congrats on staff member. He knew his stuff. Awesome to connect. Very quick n easy. I have washed the sausage dogs so far and they love it. We are yet to test it in the winter camping. I think it will be perfect. Just need to remember that it is an outdoor shower, so don’t expect your normal household shower capabilities.

Great unit recommend it to anyone

Great unit recommend it to anyone
The Joolca hot water system is great easy to set up and the controls for the water flow and the heat settings are a breeze to use, the only down side is if there is a slight breeze it puts the flame out which is a a real crap when you are half way through having a shower, apart from that it is a terrific unit and I would recommend it to anyone.

Easy to use

published

Simple to set up and get going. Produced plenty of hot water. Tried it 1st in winter with the input water pretty cold so struggled to get it quite hot enough, but the instructions and help were all very clear. Great product, and would be even better if they could solve that issue. Very entertaining email reply as well.

Fabulous

published

Absolutely fantastic, great to come back to camp and have hot shower, kept up to all six of us, beats boiling the pot for showers. Wouldn’t go without it. Not to mention the joolca shower is perfect. Don’t forget to keep the filters clean at all times, this creates to hot shower being not enough water flow, we had this happen on Fraser, do to minute particles in filter, after cleaning back to being perfect. Thanks Joolca. Made for a great fishing holiday. Easy to assemble shower and hot water.

Disappointed!!!

published

Brought it because of hearing good reviews and seeing them everywhere.. to be honest it’s a price of junk.. set it up properly got 2 good showers the first night.. second night wouldn’t go above 30 degrees.. got a full gas bottle and clean water tank.. pumps already stopped working.. it’s 3 days old.. upset is an understatement compared to the wife’s thoughts!!

WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK

published

This is a complete piece of junk. I have used a 10000L gravity feed tank, buckets of water and even connected to mains water.
This thing keeps getting to hot or does not have enough pressure. It turns off completely after a minute or two even when set at the lowest or any heat setting and all different water pressures.
I HAVE rung on numerous occasions and even purchased the upgraded pump as recommend to me.
I now stand at the joolca and regulate the temperature and flow so that it does not go cold or switch off when my wife and son use it.
What a WASTE of money.
Save up and buy something decent.

Hottap outing

published

Got the outback version and super happy. Why would I waste money on cheaper versions that are unreliable and poorly rated. People complain about this price but look at the ratings and reliability and hands down a well made product. Camped the weekend down to 1 overnight and the shower was pumping out 46 degrees and turned down a little as well. No complaints with product. Just the wind blows out the flame if too windy. And easy to connect and disconnect as required. Stocked.

Excellent!! A+++

The Joolca hot water system is amazing, so happy with it, nice hot showers! At our little weekender it's set up temporarily on a stand and because it works so perfectly, it will eventually be installed in a permanent bathroom at our weekender. Definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed!!

This hot water system appeals because of warranty and support in place.

published

I have used the system prior to going camping. It does what the company states it should. And more importantly it satisfies our need for almost immediate hot showers. A very important aspect we considered before purchasing was the high reviews given and the support offered. I did have a need to access support while putting the system together and was very satisfied with the response. The only issue I had was lack of a shower stand. However I was able to purchase another shower system's stand and it works well with Joolca.

Shortly we will be using the shower system on a long trip and will be happy to report our experience.

Wish I had got one two years ago.....

published

I installed the whole kit onto the side of our rough little shower shack Sunday arvo a few weeks ago. Wow! I didn't really expect it to be as easy as it was... now wish I had done it 2 years ago! Simple and quick. Took about 10 minutes of tweaking the balance of water flow and flame to get the water temp right, but we are now enjoying steaming showers in the 1 degree nights as we get stuck into Winter. Plus I don't think we are using any more water and (big plus) gone are the days of heating water on our gas stove. Tick, tick tick, well done Joocla, we love it!

Great product

For functionality and simplicity this wins hands down. No time wasted from setting up to enjoying a cleaning and relaxing shower. Other similar products on market don't come close. Happy to say that doing a bit of research certainly paid off for this item. Well done Chris and the team at Joolca

HOTTAP OUTING

Purchased a unit late 2018 and only set it up for the 2nd time this weekend. Ist time we used it we plugged it into town water and it was terrific. This time however, we were off grid and used it out of a 20 lt jerry can. Pump working fine but unit wouldn't turn on. Gas flowing well and replaced batteries just in case. Still no hot water. It did turn on briefly first up. Any clues?

HOTTAP OUTING

We are considering purchasing one of your hot water systems primarily for winter in FNQ as we currently only have cold water at home via a gravity fed shower from our tank that we pump from the river into. I am wondering if this system will be suitable for us in that the temperatures of water coming out of our tank are quite cold even in the middle of summer and if we also would need the Blue cold water intake hose with pump or if connecting into our existing gravity fed system would be sufficient.
