There has been a lot of talk about tankless water heaters and how they add value to your household. The Eccotemp L5 takes it to another level and lets you use hot water on the go where ever you want.
The portability of this tankless unit enables you to use it for an outdoor shower, camping activities, pets’ bathing, and more.
This Eccotemp water heater works perfectly when the air is still. In extreme weather or even a breeze, the flame may turn off. So, keep this in mind whenever you are taking it to an outdoor spot.
This Eccotemp tankless water heater provides you water in the temperature range of 50 – 140°F. The device lets you control the water temperature with a turn of a dial. Just turn the dial to the needed temperature and the unit will deliver the hot water on demand.
It’s powered by a 20-pound tank of liquid propane, a more efficient fuel than natural gas, which ignites the flame whenever water enters, conserving energy and making it economical in the long run.
It has an electronic flame and is powered by 2 D cell batteries. With the EccoFlo 12v water pump, you can virtually use it in any remote location.
The unit won’t work below freezing temperatures as the heating coils are thin and can’t take extreme temperatures. You get a relief valve with the kit for draining out the water so that it won’t freeze and damage the unit in sub-freezing temperatures.
Children should be supervised carefully as the water can get scalding hot. A good idea would be to use it on a low setting for safety. Don’t get under the water immediately, first check the temperature. Also, the shower hose is a little small, a longer one would have given you more flexibility in use.

This Eccotemp propane tankless water heater instantly delivers hot water in your taps without a limit. It is an on-demand tankless water heater, so it won’t use the fuel unless you open up a tap, which makes it energy-efficient. This makes it economical in the long run as minimum energy is lost.
Its flame ignites quickly after the sensor senses water. The unit as a whole runs very quietly, which makes it suitable for indoor installation. Install as close to your taps as possible as it would accelerate the hot water inlet.
The energy consumption is fairly low; a 20-gallon propane tank will last a long time. So you can have unlimited hot water during winter without worrying about the fuel running out.
However, the unit is not suitable for freezing weather. And as there is no safety cut off for temperature and pressure, it could become dangerous. Make sure you install a drain valve and drain the water to prevent it from turning into ice.
It’s lightweight and small in size, giving you the flexibility and installation spot options.
Also, you need to increase the knob slowly as the water can get hot pretty quickly. It’s rated at 3.6-GPM and equipped with power ventilation.
The unit doesn’t make much noise and occupies minimal space, so it wouldn’t be invasive at all. With manual water-temperature control, you can adjust the temperature of the water. However, it doesn’t seem to work perfectly; you may encounter temperature fluctuations.

In addition, there is a raincap for weather protection which can be removed when not needed. The ignition is battery-powered, which makes it reliable and adds to its ease of use and portability.

It works great outside, but the downside we think is the inability of the flame to resist wind. It’s not very stable when there is a breeze around, so you would have to take precautions for that.

It’s a very efficient heater; propane burns only when needed, resulting in minimum energy wastage and economical long term use.
Another impressive thing about it is that it’s simple and quick to install. And you can set it up anywhere, allowing you to have hot showers in the wilderness as well.
