Black Smart Hot Water System 6Lpm

G'day Peter,

There are regulations for portable gas hot water systems that mean they can't be permanently mounted to a fixed object (e.g. a house). Smarttek do make a Draw Bar Mount should you want to fix the unit to your camper Trailer/Caravan with a Quick Release Mounting Bracket, however it's not able to be mounted to a wall.

G'day Michael,

I've checked the box and it says 1 x 2m Hose included, however, on the other side it lists a 5m hose as an accessory available to purchase separately.

G'day Ann, 

You can use the Smarttek T-Piece to achieve this, Ann - https://www.snowys.com.au/dual-shower-hose-t-piece. You can leave your unit attached to both a shower and sink so you can draw hot water to either, but you won't be able to run hot water to both at the same time.

I hope that makes sense.

G'day Sarah,

What a great idea! The Smarttek Hot Water System can draw water from a large tank or tub, or you can use hose fittings to connect it to an outside tap. The pump is really only designed to draw water through it, so maybe dog shampoo and tick rinse might need to be applied separately direct onto the dogs. As long as the unit is protected from the weather, which sounds like it would be, then it should be ok to leave set up and ready to use.

G'day Naomi,

Thanks for the question! Your Smarttek Black Hot Water System is going to be more than fine for use in alpine conditions, however there are a few considerations.

1. The unit can heat water to 40*c above ambient temperatures.  If using the Hot Water System in temp below 5 or 10*c it wont ever reach its max 55*c output.

2. Make sure to drain the system of water completely over night. If theres any water left in the system, and it freezes, it will damage the unit.

3. Being a portable/camping hot water system, it is not designed to be permanently mounted outside and exposed to the elements. It will need to be stored approriately between trips.
