Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 1000P LP AquaStar 2.6 GPM Indoor Tankless Gas Water Heater
Customer Review: Great for outdoor shower in warmer climates!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this heater to replace a small electric tank heater I use for an outdoor shower. The electric was too small and I wanted more hot water without having a large storage tank. After consulting with an electrician and finding the electric or natural gas tank would be too costly to hook up, I was happy to find the LP version. I had a plumber all set up to install this and he never showed, so after a week or so of hesitation, I installed it myself in basically a couple hours (not including trips to hardware stores). The main issue for installation (since it was outside) was getting the right hookup for the propane tank. To use the regulator included, you cannot just buy a hose at Home Depot or Lowe's. I went (with the regulator) to a propane store here in Austin, TX and was set up with a 2nd regulator (I was told one at the heater and one at the tank, even with a short 2 foot hose, is safest), compression thingys and a nice flexible metal hose. It took a few tries, but I got it going.
NOTE: when I used the hose from Home Depot with the attached regulator that was near the tank and did not use the regulator that came with the heater, the pilot would go out within minutes. When I got the double regulator hose set up, it seemed not to work at first, then I realized I had left the unit "on" and slid the knob back to the "off" position to the left and let it sit for about 5 minutes and tried again. It then worked perfectly.
Set up now, I have a splitter coming from my outdoor faucet, one to a garden hose, the other line goes to the heater ( I used flexible washer/dryer hoses to hook up the shower with brass compression things to make them fit). The shower is from Target (the wood one - not sure if they still carry it) and just has one water line, so it's only hot water coming in. I have the heater turned to it's lowest setting and last night the water was the perfect temp! So, that means if turned up, it can easily be warm/hot enough for a shower where cold water is mixed in if you are in a warm climate. This shower will only be used in warm weather, after swimming or gardening, so I will not need it to heat very cold water. I would expect it to be sufficient for heating most water in the summer for this type of use. At full heat, the water is very, very hot, so I would expect there is enough power there to heat most summer water temps for a comfortable shower.
It is installed on the outside of my house (I had to get a masonry bit and additional hardware to attach it to my rock house - this took about half of the install time) and will be pulled down in the winter and stored to prolong its life.
I worked so hard on this and had searched the internet for info on an easy outdoor shower water heater. I'm handy, but knew the build-it-yourself solar boxes were not where I wanted to go. I hoped this would work and am thrilled with the results. If you would like to contact me about how I set it up or with questions, I will try to help. doshermanasjewelry@yahoo.com . Not sure if I'm allowed to give that out, but going into this, I would have loved a reference for what I was doing or if it would work.
