HOT WATER Upgrade For Our Outdoor Shower

I finally added HOT WATER to our Outdoor Shower and turned it into a year-round spa retreat in our backyard! And it was so easy! No plumbing and instant hot water with a Camplux on demand hot water heater. Here's how.

10:21 Me smiling from ear to ear for you when you said "HOT WATER"! congrats!

[Braddy_Daddy]

Can’t believe this came out right when we’re thinking about building an outdoor shower. Love your setup, thanks for showing the process!

[kady]

I was amazed at how simple the whole process was to get hot water outside. Great job!

[kristenmilton]

Yes! I do want to see how you could use that to heat your stock tank pool! We installed our stock tank pool this summer (using your video. Thank you for that!). Ours is in the shade 100% of the time and it stayed chilly through the entire North Texas summer.

12/30/2024 I just found you by Luck! I am looking at going Tiny OR going to RV life for at least a year before going tiny. I keep forgetting to learn about instant water heaters. . .and WaLa, you showed me!! And I watched the total privacy fence video. You are a good teacher!!

[KhiavDim]

Please do a video on heating the stock tank pool!

[marksmadhousemetaphysicalm]

Looks pretty easy to connect to the cowboy pool too….just pass the filtered water into the inlet side of hot water circuit and push it through the heater and out of the outlet side, of course the BTUs of the heater matters depending on the size of the pool you want to heat and how hot.

Another great video!! I would really like to see how I could use the setup to heat up my above-ground pool. Please make a video on this.

turn the stock tank pool into a hot tub with jets please!

[reforzar]

I might want one of these for the backyard 😂 preshower before coming in.

[bmitchell]

This is so awesome. Do you have a video on how you use it to heat your stock tank? I would love to see it if so. A fan in the PNW.

[soldierchristsoldierchri]

Wondering how the pool chemicals would affect the interior components of the heater over time.

[gringotrew]

Do have to turn the propane off every time or can you leave it on and it just uses the gas as you use the water?

[kalika]

Nice outdoor shower! I live in south Texas and need the same thing, could you please let me know where you got the rain shower head from. Thanks

[feltsmartin]

If your water is already hot then why are you heating it? One thing I did not see was how you installed the wiresless camera in the shower for the patreon only group? Just kidding! I have been a handy man DIY person for many years and you are definitely a craftsman/craftswoman, excellent video quality!

i have to have the bathroom heated before i can undress, i hate being cold while wet it chills me to bone but in TX for the heated summers it would be ok except for i have wasps, bees, yellow jackets, hornets, centepeds, spiders, & bugs that i dont know the name’s of that love my water sources bc im close to lake & it’s woodsy even though i spray yard, i would be showering & swatting bugs, not to mention mosquitoes really bad in East TX (seriously bugs everywhere)! i cant even put out a hummingbird feeder w/o bees & they even eat the outdoor cat’s food-☹️

[touchaknobmakeasoundwithbo]

Hi can you use a better shower wand like one I can buy from Home Depot or even better a shower panel so it can be more like a spa?

[CasaLunaCanines]

Curious, now that it's winter, how much propane do you use for your showers? We're considering this set up for an outdoor bathroom we use as a rental so I don't want to limit people's showers, but also, I want to let them know what to expect. I can get a larger propane tank, just wondering how much you go through? AND...are the controls "fairly" easy to understand? Short term renters have short term brains at times.

Saludos a todos desde Mendoza Argentina 🍷🧉😊

I was just about to ask how do you hook up for hot water from the last video when you first built it and then I saw this link. Thanks!
