Go ahead!

[@SMOKEY-JAYS-DIESEL]

Hell yeah that's awesome. I also built a outdoor shower with on demand hot water 🔥🔥

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

Awesome I love using it at night and looking up at the stars and trees

[@SMOKEY-JAYS-DIESEL]

@@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748 heck yeah nothing better 🙏🙌

[@roberto07ification]

Good setup

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

Thanks!

An ingenious idea with only requiring water source and a propane tank

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

Yes, I was glad to find out about this easy way to have a remote shower

[@Dylan_-_]

What is connected to the pipe right at the propane tank? Is that a gauge? To tell how much you have left or how much you’ve used?

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

That is a regulator that you would find on all propane appliances. But you could find a gauge at Lowe’s or an RV store if you want to monitor how much propane remains.

[@ThatAppalachian]

Would this work with a gravity fed system and RV hose? Does it need electricity? Right now we have a 55 gal drum on top of our hill and ran a garden hose to a smaller hose that runs to a small hot camp shower unit. Upgrading the system to an IBC tote “water tower” and using heated/buried RV hose, then splitting it to run to sinks in our cabin.

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

Yes, all it takes is a D battery to run the igniter I guess

[@Melissa-gz1wg]

Ok so how do you keep the temp from continuously climbing? Is there a way to regulate it??

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

The left hand knob increases the flame. The right hand knob slows the water flow. Those adjustments help regulate the temperature.

[@krich7977]

Yea until you see cost of replacements or to fix it

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

Replacement I think would be about $170. Because that’s what I paid for the first one. I think it’s very economical and well worth the money.

[@Icutmetal]

I bought one similar. If it breaks, I’ll shit can it and replace the thing. Oh darn.

[@zaappp1588]

It's nice that you can hook it directly to a portable tank. How long does a tank last?

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

I haven’t run the tank out yet. I think all total we have taken 7-8 showers. When I run out of propane, I will try to remember to tell people how many showers I was able to get out of one tank

[@Girlgetup__]

Can you connect a rainwater tank to this setup?

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

Yes, I’m sure you can as long as you’re creating some water pressure

[@lizzikane7269]

Are you using the supplied pump? If not what type I want this setup

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

It is just using the pressure from the garden hose running to it

[@vladip3391]

what about gas consumtion?

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

I’ve taken several showers and still haven’t run out of gas. When I do run out, I’ll try to give an estimate of how many showers you might get.

[@jezziwild7]

Going to purchase one was wondering the same thing

[@CatDaddyx2]

​@@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748how many did you get?

[@MattVance]

-You have this hard line PEXed in. During the winter do you ever have to drain the lines?

[@thegarnerfamilyfarmproject1748]

This will be our first winter. When we know it will be cold I’ll disconnect it and leave the valve open on the connection to the hose. The bathroom has pex, but I still run a garden hose over to it.
