hot water units coleman V aquacuge logic updates

ps. should read Aquacube.john y

I have one (Coleman) in my shed, purchased as SWMBO had to have one to keep up with the Jones (not real name) found it 100% reliable over the last 4 years. Total use in the last 4 years is twice.

Some years after purchase I spoke to Mr Jones, he said "shame you didn't mention it before you made your purchase as you could have bought mine it's only been used 3 times"

Simple to use though, but not really as simple as the billy on the fire

We have a coleman and find it quick and easy to use.
This is our second unit as one failed whilst we were away camping in the middle of no-where (always the way). Hubby drove till he got phone reception so he could ring coleman who advised him to go into the next town and exchange the unit for a new one.
Although this was a pain, there customer service and after sales service was fantastic.

Hi John
I don't own either units but I have used both the Colman and the Aquacube. My preference would be for the Aquacube because you have the ability to turn the water on or off from the shower head and the pilot light automatically ignights as required. The Colman needs to be manually operated from the unit itself which is not easy when you are in the shower. The Aquacube also has a digital temp gauge which the Coleman does not have. The Colman has its own batery and the aqucube needs access to 12 volt power, so this may be an issue depending on your setup.
Just my two bobs worth anyway.

I bought the Coleman over the Aquacube because if its ease of use. Less buttons= less things to break. Also the Coleman had the better warranty.

G'day John,
I have the Coleman and overcame the shower problem by filling a bucket with water and heating the water by placing the suction in the bucket and circulating the water till the required temp is reached then use a battery powered shower. This way you don't have to worry about turning the heater on an off. Also stops long showers!

P.S. keep the battery regularly charged.
