I also use so much water to set the temperature. It's so frustrating!

I'm thinking that if I ever get this shower base, I can recirculate the water I use to set the temperature, as well as the water I use to get myself wet before soaping. Use that recirculated water to rinse off the soap, then do a final rinse with clean water.

@@kellyherrin Sounds good in theory, but who is going to do all the hose switching while you are in the shower between recirculated water and fresh water unless there is some valve that can switch between the two that I am missing. The other issue I see with this system is that if you are recirculating only 5L of water, will it not keep gettign hotter and hotter? Lets say you start with water at 70°F and adjust the heater for 103°F. Once the water falls back into the tray it will no doubt be cooled down but still warmer than it's initial temperature. It will raise the temperature of the water in the tray. Hopefully you can now see that over what I would anticipate is not a very long period of time. Water heater no longer has to work as hard to raise the temperature of the water. Since there is not a thermostat, and this is a fixed amount of flame heating the water, the original 103°F that you had adjusted the heater for is now going to go higher and higher and higher. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.

​@HoustonBrownPhotography it has an automatic shut off at 50 Celsius. But will continue to pump but no longer heat until it's below that temperature. It is annoying when it doesn't maintain a steady temperature it's either hot or cools quickly.

@@kellyherrinYou would have to adjust the heat setting with the reused water because it would have already been heated and would get way too hot on its second (and subsequent trips through. It could work if you turned the heat off if the used water was already at a temperature that you liked.

We had a couple of teething issues at the start too , we realised that not enough water pressure it won't ignite or the battery were getting low that's why I changed to the 12v adapter to get rid of the batteries .

Also, you have to make sure that there is enough airflow going into the hot water heater.

seems better than a shared bathtub

Yes, but you will have to change the quick connect hose fitting attachments to fit joolca bunnings or any hardware shop should have them .

Yeah it can ..... but the joolca is set up to switch of gas at about 50c and still pump...... so if the water is already warm it switches off. Mine did this but typically it's no big deal

@@jasonrahui6788 Thanks nice to know

I wonder the same thing

Maybe flush with clean water before putting it away?

and doesnt it defeat the point of a shower if you are showering in dirty water?

Just like an Evershower..... But alot more stuff to set up!

I find that this is generally due to the where the hose connects to the quick connect and not at the quick connect fitting itself.

I agree, I had to go around and snug up most of the fittings

It's a little concerning. I am shopping for an overlander/camping shower and many of the videos for this one shows the shower head leaking. Not sure it will be bad to get wet, while taking a shower - but that's wasted water.

There bloody awesome mate .

Sounds good.cheers mate

It’s from core off road - shower ensuite bracket

Hey mate - just follow the link to all the information you need : www.joolca.com.au/CHRISPYCAMPING

exatly what i was thinking lol i dont want to be showering in used shower water

Recycling the water is optional.

I would just recycle the water I use to set the water temperature (I end up having to use a lot of water for that) and to get myself wet before using any soap. Use that water to rinse the soap off, then turn off the recirculation for a final rinse with clean water.

@@kellyherrinyeah I guess thats reasonable if you have limited water

@@chrispyscampingadventures of course, id only recycle my water if I had limited water but all the camp grounds I've gone to has free water so far
