Check out the Black Smart Hot Water System from Smarttek here:

You can get dependable and portable hot water when you’re away from the grid, with the clever and efficient Smarttek Black Hot Water System.
In this video, the Snowys crew headed down to the Brownhill Creek Tourist Park to set up the Smarttek Black Hot Water System right beside the creek. Ben starts off by showing you exactly what you get in the box, what replacements are available, shows you where all the attachments go, and gives you an overview of the specs.
He then sets it up on the separately available Smarttek tripod, attaches the gas bottle, tells you how to test it for leaks, connects the shower rose, inserts the batteries, attaches the pump, and connects it with the water source.
Then Ben gives you some advice on what settings to use in different conditions, the safety features that the unit has, and turns it on so you can see it in action - so watch above for all the details.

The frustrating thing for me as a consumer is that all the good "necessary" components are all additional purchases. Eg the 6lpm pump to use the unit at capacity , extra. A longer hose delivery hose, extra. Quick attach fittings, extra. Just make a kit with all the good stuff in it, including a T so that we can use as a kitchen hot water without hassle. Quick connect fittings. And put it all in a durable box that fits everything in. People will pay for easy, so make it easy, not a basic kit that needs add on after add on to make it more functional.

I guess that at the end of the day Smarttek are a business just trying to make money, and value add items are a good way to do this. On the flipside to your position some consumers won't want all the extras, having them as optional extras allows users to built up the unit as they want or need. ~ Ben

Hi there, you talk about mains pressure but what about flowi would like to use with a shurflow pump delivering 11 l per minute. Would this unit still work on that flow rate. Thanks

@SnowysOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure what sort of water pressure a 11lpm pump would deliver sorry, Maureen, but the Smarttek unit is designed to work with water pressures from 25 to 750 KPa. You may need to consult the details of the specific pump you are referring to. ~ Ben

Quick question on the power source for the pump - can this be connected to a power point rather than a battery?
@SnowysOutdoors
@SnowysOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын
G'day A B, the input for the pump is 12V DC. The Black Smart Hot Water System pump is supplied with a cable that will connect using alligator clips, so if you wanted to connect it using a cig plug then you'll need to grab a Multi Cable Pack, which includes a cigarette plug, Anderson, alligator plugs and a 2.5m cable with switch - www.snowys.com.au/multi-cable-pack I hope this helps! Cheers, Sonia

@@Sandy-sc9vy Hi Sandy, I'm not with Snowy's or Smarttec, When you say power point I assume you mean a house power point - that being 240 volt, the pump is 12volt so the answer is no. However a suitable 240/12v battery charger would do the job. If your at a house with adequate water supply & pressure, there is no need for the pump, just connect to the tap. Hope this is of use.

Sure can, Michael, Smartek sell a 6 lpm pump separately (www.snowys.com.au/6-lpm-pump-pack), or they currently have kits available with either 4.3 lpm or 6 lpm pumps. ~ Ben

Can you just connect to a tap water supply, without using the pump , also the water temp was going up and down and not staying hot , I think pilot light kept going out cheers 😀
@SnowysOutdoors
@SnowysOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын
Yep, you can connect a hose directly to the input, Kenneth. Mains water is usually around 750 kPa I believe, and the unit can handle water form 25 - 1500 kPa. As for the temperature, it goes up and down a little during use but only by a few degrees. The pilot light will cut out if required for safety reasons but if you set it up and use the unit correctly then you should get a relatively even temp. ~ Ben

@@Sandy-sc9vy you can just use a regular garden hose connection to attach mains water to the unit, the fitting is the same as what is found on most household taps, so your hose at home should fit. You'll only need to be concerned about water pressure if you are using water that is delivered in a different manner to the mains system i.e. a pump from a tank or water reservoir. If you are just using regular mains water, then you can connect directly from the tap. ~ Ben

@SnowysOutdoors 2 жыл бұрын
The gas bottle in the video didn't have a connector sorry @BURKESDALE, its just the inline gas regulator thats on the hot water systems hose. If your appliance requires a regulator it will generally be provided with the hose. If an appliance has a hose without a regulator, its because it needs unregulated supply. Hope that helps. ~ Lauren

At 3:11 The gas bottle has a 3/8" BSP outlet. The hose is using POL So you need a POL female to 3/8" BSP Female adapter, unless your gas bottle already has the POL female outlet, then you don't need anything.

We had the Joolca units at Snowys many years ago and at that time I would say that both Joolca and Smarttek were pretty comparable. I am not familiar with the newer Joolca units so I can't make a confident statement on whether one is better than the other sorry. As far as I know the Joolca units are great but unfortunately through powers we have no control over we can't stock them anymore. ~ Ben

Given it's a portable unit it would need to run on 12V, and a 12V heating element would chew through a lot of power. I guess it would work it you had 240V, but this somewhat defeats the purpose of a portable shower. ~ Ben
