Camplux 6L Outdoor Portable Tankless Propane Water Heater - 2.64 GPM

Brandon : This hot water heater works great so far!
Super easy installation. I read the instructions and did exactly what it said. It worked first try!
The only issue I had was, a normal 1/2 thread female didn't fit onto the male fitting on the heater. I had to use the fittings it came with and one is leaking so I'll have to find a female to fit this thread on the heater. But other then that it really does work good. Definitely worth the money.

Lina: I think this is such a great product, you will have continuous hot water without interruption while showering or any use that hot water is needed. So far I am pleased with this unit. We'll find out in several months from now how feel.

John Murray: Need to simplify a few things otherwise a pretty good unit.

Handy Guy: I got this to replace a unit from another company purchased last year with a one-month warranty. It worked fine last year, and again when I pulled it out of winter storage this year... but only once, then it completely quit. This one has a one-year warranty, so maybe it's better. It looks like it was made in the same factory with many of the same parts, and it mounted with exactly the same screw holes as the old one, so I'm only semi-optimistic about its longevity. At least for now it's working, and I must give it credit for producing hotter water than the old unit. That one was highly variable in the amount of heat it put out, and sometimes couldn't quite reach the temperature I like for a shower. This Camplux unit easily hits the temperature I like (115 degrees F, according to its display), and will go much hotter. The only fault I can identify so far is the sensitivity of the settings. The smallest change in the control dials will result in a big change in temperature. On the plus side, it is very repeatable from shower to shower, so doesn't require a lot of fiddling once you get it set the way you like it.
This unit comes with some adapters to...

Francesco: This heater was easy to install. At first in July 2022, the unit would automatically turn on and ignite the burner, and it worked great for the remaining of the 2022 Season (about 10 uses in total, all for a 5-minute shower).

Now: it's June 2023, so less than a year of use, while the unit had been properly drained and winterized back in October 2022, and the bloody thing will no longer start. The electronic display comes up for less than half-a-second, then will go dark and will not turn on again. Unreliable, most probably the electronics could not stand the winter season storage... Very disappointed, as this unit is somewhat expensive, at almost 400$. While awaiting a reply from the Camplux support Team, I am contemplating the option of gutting all the electronics and interlocks out of the unit and make it "handomatic" with toggle switches. I am NOT going to let my money go to waste.

UPDATE: AFTER WRITING TO THE AFTERSALES DEPRATMENT, IT NOW SEEMS THAT CAMPLUX WILL SEND ME A NEW REPLACEMENT UNIT. THEY WERE ALSO VERY WILLING TO PROVIDE ME WITH A FULL REFUND. SO YES, IT'S DISAPPOINTING TO SEE THIS WATER HEATER FAILING WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF USE,...

Erik H.: As stated below after a year of owning this water heater it stopped working. Camplux responded to this review very promptly and attempted to help me problem solve the issue. After a couple attempts without success Camplux decided the best course of action was to send me a complete new unit. I found Camplux to be very helpful and timely with their responses and assistance. The new unit arrived only 4 days after they stated they would replace it. After all this I would recommend Camplux products!! I am changing my 1 star rating to 5. I know some would only give 4 stars, I feel they went above and beyond to assist me and I really like their product! Easy to use and set up. Thank you again Camplux I appreciate your service!!

"I bought this product on May 2, 2022. It worked great all summer long. I followed the directions for storage completely as stated in the manual and stored it in my house for the winter. 2 days ago I set it all up and it didn't work. I replaced the batteries, nothing. I increased the water pressure a little and nothing!! I tried to call the customer service number of Camplux and NO answer. IF someone from Camplux is reading this, please...

M. S.: ========================================
UPDATE: Stopped working completely. RETURNED.
========================================

The overall design is pretty good for what the water heater is designed to do, the feature set is nice, the build quality appears to be reasonable, and delivery was quick. That's the good. Now the bad:

- Starting the water heater is very unreliable, and does not usually start the first try. It is supposed to be automatic - if there is gas pressure and the water starts flowing, the flame is supposed to ignite and the water heats up. I leave the unit hooked up to water and gas, but in an unpressured state - gas and water hoses are empty, with no pressure. With the hand shower valve closed, I open the propane tank valve, and the quick turn water supply value. When I open the hand shower valve, the water flows and unit should spark a few times to ignite the flame. Usually it does not. It might do it after closing and reopening the hand shower valve. I turn the gas and water supply off, purge the water pressure by opening and closing the hand shower valve, then retry the startup sequence all over again. It sometimes takes...

John Wrigley: We have a family cabin with gravity fed water, no electricity, and we carry in propane in 5 gallon cylinders. Before buying the Camplux 2.64 GPM water heater, I looked at many reviews concerning how many GPM the Camplux on demand water heater would deliver with our 15 PSI delivery pressure. I went to customer support before being and asking if they had a specification chart for GPM versus PSI. They could not produce such a thing and wrote back stating, "place a bucket of know quantity under your fixture, and with a stop watch, measure the time it takes to fill the bucket." Not helpful. So, to readers, it took 1 minute to fill my bucket to the 1.5 gallon mark. As pressure varies +/- 1 PSI and clogs happen in varying shades of grey at our cabin, your results may be different than mine. This is place to start on what to expect with flow versus water pressure for the Camplux 2.64.

There are other oddities with this unit as well which I will discuss. There are two dials on the front of the unit. One for water flow and one for gas flow. With a low pressure system like ours, we found ourselves resetting the gas flow value often. There are two different fixtures...

Sysmon: I saw a few reviews not understanding the fittings. The unit is NPT and the adapters that come with it convert it to garden hose thread so you can use the quick couplers.

Mounted mine to my truck camper. Went with NPT to PEX and plumbed it into the existing pump line. Works great! If you set it to low flow and high heat it is too hot to shower.
