Coleman HWS feedback

Ours is about 12 months old and have not had a problem with it.

Anaconda has them on special at the moment.

The older one had I think a 10 year warranty and the new one has 12 months.

Yeah all good from our point of view.

All good here too.
$298.00 at KMart at the moment.

Great minds think alike....but in our case....crazy minds think alike!

We're looking at one too, but the way bills are going at the mo I might be owing you the rums ! N O T ! !

I think these go for pretty cheap, I think!

let me know how you go and Ill figure us out....

Kev,

I got a cheaper version of the Coleman from repco or supacrap or something like that for 80 bucks and I reckon it works a treat. I have had a shower under a coleman and this "Black Ridge" works equally as good in my opinion. (Still not as good as my Glind though). There is one difference between the two gas showers and that is the "Black Ridge" is best used to heat water then use it only as a pump and shower to shower under cause if you stop the water flow, the gas cuts out and you are back to pumping source water temps, if this is cold then so is your shower....so heat source water then jump in for a shower and all is good.

Cheers, trevor.

Hi Kev

Ours is great.

I replaced the cap that goes on the pump that goes on the collapsable bottle with a cap from a 20L Jerry through which I drilled a hole and put a new washer inside. This way I just put it on a Jerry that lies on its side with the pourer down. No waste.

For "non-potable" water (I assume you mean dirty but not toxic) I put a stocking over the pump before putting it into the water. No problems with Murray water. If the water's too rank you wouldn't want to use it for a shower anyway. No taint afterwards with drinking water but you need to flush with clean water out of a bucket so that dirty water doesn't flow back out of the hose into a jerry can.

Only use it when we take the Trak Shak as it's a bit bulky otherwise. Great for a quick wash and saves a lot of gas by pre-heating cooking water for pasta etc. Get a MacCoupler to refill the "disposable" gas canisters.

I replaced that bleep ty black sprayless shower head with one from bunnings and it feels like the one at home !

Wack it over a branch,Nude Up and Sing ,Oh when the Saints come marching in !

we have a Primus , (new version ) and like it - the only thing i would change is maybe bumping up the water rate ( LPM ) apart from that you can feed it with very cold water and it heats it easily first go

we use a Garbage bin to hold the water - which we get from the river where we camp. also have the colman tent :)

kids love it -- misses loves it --- now going away for a week away from civilization and hot showers is no longer an issue :)

Pity you are in the wrong state. I have one i am going to sell complete with bag, shower attachment, gas hose and a maccoupler to refill the bottles.
