Eccotemp L5 1.5 GPM Portable Outdoor Tankless Water Heater

I bought this water heater to replace the one in our food truck.It replaced the exact same one just a few years old.The old one actually still worked I just cracked a connection when I overtightened the nut..I bought the same one as they are superb little workhorses, I really like this little water heater, good output and hot.

Perfect for outdoor shower, hot water on demand is super quick. I have purchased 2 of these.

This is my 4th L5 in about 10 years. Always been very happy. When I first starting using this I had to turn the dial up much higher to produce heat. I live in Florida so the water doesn't get that cold. Maybe in the 60's. However, mid winter, I had it at full heat and had to decrease water flow just to stay warm. My thoughts were, it gets too hot in the summer so it maybe better then, so I kept it. Around 8 months into use, it randomly stopped igniting. I checked the batteries and changed tanks and seemed to correct the problems at first. Then started doing it again. Finally it would not ignite at all at 10 months. Contacted support and they told me to take front cover off and tap the solenoid with a screwdriver. It worked. They said they would send me the part.First of all, when did it become standard that we have to fix our item under warranty? I'm pretty good at this stuff but would be a challenge for many. I replaced the part and it worked for another 3 months and started doing again.By this time I was out of warranty and was not happy. Plus it was rusted much worse than my previous units.I contacted them again and they said "sorry, you're out of luck". I then said that I would never buy their product again and even showed past receipts of my other purchases. I had sent probably 10 emails explaining the intermittent problem, lack of heat and photos the rust. They got back to me and said if I wanted to return, (at my cost) they would fix it. So I boxed it up and returned at a cost of $23.00. A couple of weeks later I get the same rusty piece of S$&T back again. NO note inside. Had to go on line. "No repair" Worked fine.Amazing!!! Did they ever read my emails that this is intermittent. What a waste of time and money. Tech support and warranty is next to worthless. Did they ever check for heat temperature? Of course not.How hard would it be to put a new cover on it?????? Usually, rust is covered for more than one year. Why because they don't give a S#$T.They lost a loyal customer. In fact I was going to put a large unit for the entire house. Glad I saw their true worth.See photo. Old faded unit on left. Still works. New rusty unit on right. CRAP!!!!!!! Never threw away the old one because I was never happy with the new one. Old one still going.New update: I bought a Gasland outdoor shower heater about 6 months ago. About the same price with good reviews. So far very happy.It has a winter and summer mode, digital temperature display and most important it doesn’t blow out with even a strong gust. The Ecotemp would blow out even in the light wind conditions and you would have to restart constantly.

The media could not be loaded. We use this product for our outdoor shower it's very easy to hook up and troubleshoot when things aren't working properly. The price is very affordable it fits in small places and it's easy to connect it to the wall. I'd say the quality is about a three the water flow is pretty good whenever you connect a shower head to it. It gets very hot you do have to adjust it to your setting. The appearance is great easy to understand

This is a replacement order as the first had ruptured tubing due to being exposed to freezing tempertures despite being drained. I suppose some water was trapped inside. Used it extensively during a whole house remodel and showered outside everyday for almost 8 months without any problems whatsoever. I did however repair the break in the old one with some copper epoxy (also purchased on Amazon) and it is functioning fine. The other is now a backup. Highly recommended.

This is the second one I have purchased. The first one I have had for 8 years and it still works but the water didn't get as hot as I would like after this many years of use so we purchased another one and now we have very hot water again! They are very handy and easy to hook up. Great quality for the money!

After using for several months to wash our dog we've been happy with the shower. The included shower head on/off switch is awkward to use, sometimes it's difficult to move especially with soapy hands. The shower hose is a little short, a longer hose was added to make this more useful at distance. The unit must be protected from wind or it will blow out. Helpful note: when restarting from the shower head make sure to stay out of the water until the correct temperature is reached or you may get a little surprise with hot or cold, wait a few seconds and let the water flow. It was mounted to a Harbor Freight dolly and it works well set up as shown in the photo. These portable showers are a fantastic idea.

I tried every trouble shooting method I could. But the flame will not come on. This is my second L5. I have been using one for about 10 years. I wanted a second for other uses. So I know to operate them and how they work. I could not get this one to come on. Even checked for loose wires but could not find any. I felt that going any farther with it would ruin the warranty. So I opted to return it and get a different one.
