RV FEATURE
All you then need to do is adjust the gas control knob to reach the desired water temperature . The water flows at a rate of 2-2.5L per minute . It can be stopped at any time by sliding the flow switch to the ‘ off ’ position on the showerhead . This causes the burner to turn off while the pump continues to operate .
Water flow can be started again by simply sliding the flow switch to the ‘ on ’ position . This in turn will reignite the burner and warm water flows . When you no longer need any water , just press the ‘ power ’ button , which will stop the pump and any water flowing , and switch the unit off .
HOW IT WENT
We found the unit was quite intuitive to use , taking just a couple of minutes to set-up . As far as gas usage goes , we found a gas canister generally lasted the two of us for several showers . We ’ re not the types to have lengthy showers anyway , especially when travelling remote and water is hard to come by .

The inlet hose has a submersible pump attached .
So , when we found the shower head wasn ’ t a pressure washer , that suited us to a tee . The head is designed with ‘ soft flow ’ capabilities , and that allows us to have a good shower while helping conserve water .
For peace of mind , we also like the inbuilt tilt switch and fuse protection features , which ensure the unit cuts out when conditions aren ’ t right for the unit . When it came to storing it in our setup , we found the Aquaheat ’ s size and weight weren ’ t over the top , so we could comfortably accommodate this new addition to our vehicle .
