Hi Hi-ryder!
How did you go? Where did you get one from and for how much? I work at a BCF store myself, and to be honest with you, we have had a few come back. They are a fantastic unit but yes, sometimes things go wrong and they need to be repaired. Provided you HOLD ONTO YOUR RECIEPT!!!!, and return the unit to where you purchased it from, Coleman are always happy to repair the unit (provided it is in warranty.) Trying to deal with Coleman outside of a retailer is a nightmare, we in store can get onto them then and there and get your issue sorted. They will run for approx 40 mins flat out, (which is about 150L), and those little canisters last for aaaaages. The water gets hot enough for a cuppa(the companion aqua cube does not).I would definately not recommend putting the pump directly into the river, no matter how pristine it is, things get sucked up and stuck in there, buggering the pump and voiding your warranty. Use clean, fresh water only. Also, you can buy rechargeable 6V batteries from most car
places if you ever find you need to replace the battery. Often is a cheaper way to go as
well. Overall, it is a great unit, Coleman have a great warranty scheme, maybe a bit pricey, but what can you do haha.
