Water pump1 answer
I have an old hot water on demand unit since 2015. Is the pump setup the same on the new Elite model? Old one still goes with some mods made. I made a solis 20 litre container with the right thread only silicone on, had it for 13 years like that now in some really hard areas of Tasmania camping and caravanning. Colman should made a solid water holder, those collapsible one aren't much good. I want to buy a new one and can not find anyone with one at the moment. I wife reckons it is the best thing I have ever bought. Let me know if you get too many spare as I am still trying to find one thanks from Dale
Dale Clarke - Heybridge(7 years ago)
G'day Dale,
Thanks so much for your inqury today. Unfortunately we dont have any of the Coleman H2Oasis Elite available at all anymore. I understand there may be a shortage across the board with these units. So your best bet would be to contact Coleman Australia directly. Your current set up sounds great, and I bet theres nothing finer than a hot shower in the rugged cold of Tasmania. Goodluck with sourcing an upgrade. Cheers.

Battery1 answer
Just unpacked my unit after having it in storage for a while and found i left the switch on the back on and the battery is flat. I know lithium batteries if they get fully drained and stay flat for a while are no good anymore. I am wondering if the battery has any low voltage cut off built in to save it from dying in storage if the switch is left on?
Tim - Lilydale(7 years ago)
G'day Tim,
We've double checked with Coleman and there isn't a built-in switch to stop the unit draining the battery. I would try plugging the unit in for a few hours and then see if the battery comes back up to charge again.

Hot water to Kitchen sink1 answer
Can i connect this to my caravan's water inlet and get hot water to my Kitchen sink? (I'm new to this so apologies if it's a stupid question..)
Arthur - Castle Hill(7 years ago)
G'day Arthur,
Thanks for getting in touch, the Coleman Hot Water on Demand H2Oasis Elite unit is designed to be connected to a portable water tank, or submerged into a water drum or bucket. While you could theoretically use this product to get hot water into your Caravan Sink, you would need to store and use the unit outside of the caravan as they're only designed for outdoor use. It might be a better option to have a hot water system fitted to your caravan.

Elavation requirement1 answer
Hey guys what’s the elavation requirement for these machines ? Can I connect a hose to the unit and have the hose run down a steep bank into a river? Will this affect the water flow rate?
Pauline Pockett - Boronia(7 years ago)
G'day Pauline,
The Hot Water on Demand H2Oasis Elite can either be used with the small pump designed to draw from a water tank/jerry can, or by connecting a standard garden hose and using mains pressure to push the water through the unit. If you're wanting to draw water from the river this might not be the unit for you. We do sell a unit that will do the trick though, the Joolca Hottap Outing will do that for you. There is a Q&A on that product from Colin in Mole Creek that outlines how to use it to draw water up from the river.
Leece - Snowys(7 years ago)
Hi, I just used the Elite for the first time after having a test run at home using the pump. Connected a hose from tap, pressure only enough to provide sufficient flow through heater and on turning the shower head off temporarily until I turned tap off, the silicone hose going into the shower head exploded, completely split. Ir does not look like you can cut off torn end and reconnect to shower head. Reiterate pressure was not high and only off for seconds. Surely a faulty hise/connector?1 answer
Please confirm replacement available and if covered under warranty?
Donna - Prospect Vale Tas(7 years ago)
G'day Donna,
Thanks for letting us know you've had some trouble with this unit, I'm sure we can help you out there. I'm not personally sure of the best course of action here, but if you could email this description to us along with the details of your order and we'll get our warranties team to follow this up for you. Send the email to service@snowys.com.au
Tim - Snowys(7 years ago)
what is the maximum allowable pressure on the inlet side?2 answers
Proposed situation is connecting to a pumped system rather than using the supplied pump
John - Cairns(8 years ago)
G'day John,
Coleman haven't given an exact pressure for the Coleman Hot Water On Demand H2Oasis Elite but it can be connected to mains water, avoiding the pump altogether. Given that it can withstand the pressure of mains water, I would suggest that using your own pump shouldn't give it too much pain.
Ben - Snowys(8 years ago)
G'day Robbie,
If you're having some issues with connecting your Coleman Hot Waer on Demand H2Oasis Elite to mains water, it might be best to give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 and our customer service crew can give you a hand over the phone.

pete - manly (9 years ago)
G'day Pete,
It is supposed to come with a seal! If you're missing one, shoot our Warranties Manager, Nick an email at service@snowys.com.au and he should be able to sort something out for you.

240v charger sold separate 3 answers
where do i buy the charger from , very strange they dont sell the 240 powered charger with unit as you said it take 6 hours to charge
pete - manly(9 years ago)
G'day Peter,
There should be a 240v charger included with the Coleman Hot Water On Demand H2Oasis Elite unit, however, one doesn't come with the standard Coleman Hot Water On Demand H2Oasis. Can you clarify which unit you own?
We are able to order 240v charging packs as a special order for you if required.
Ben - Snowys(9 years ago)
Can I purchase a new battery pack from you for my HWOD unit?
Gene - Landisburg, PA(8 years ago)
G'day Gene,
We are able to get spare batteries in for this unit, but as there are issues shipping these kinds of products - we can't list batteries as a product online.
The easiest thing to do would be to take it into your local battery store or supplier, and they should be able to find a compatible one for you, Gene.

What temperature is the water at the lowest setting?1 answer
Hi, what temperature is the water at the lowest setting (if the starting temperature of the water is at room temperature)? I have read that in earlier models and some other brands the lowest temperature can often be too high so this renders it unpleasant to shower in, which is understandable for kids and sensitive skin.
Edwin - Sydney(9 years ago)
G'day Edwin,
We didn't have that information, so we gave Coleman a call and they've actually tested the temperature of the unit for us. It seems that the lowest temperature on the Coleman Hot Water On Demand H2Oasis Elite is approximately 22°.

Hose Connection to Inlet1 answer
Hi, do you still need an adaptor to connect a standard hose to the inlet of the pump? This would be for pumping from vehicle storage, where water is only gravity fed (no significant water pressure)? I have seen the part online...
Bryce - Echunga(9 years ago)
G'day Bryce,Â
The adaptor was for the older model of the Hot Water On Demand system, the unit that we have online is the latest version which doesn't need an adaptor.Â
There probably isn’t going to be enough water pressure from a gravity fed supply without a pump in the system, but the way around it is to use the pump and container that comes with the Hot Water On Demand system. The best way to run it is to fill the included water container from your vehicle, attach the pump to the water container, and you should be good to go from there.Â
Emily - Snowys(9 years ago)
Gas source1 answer
Hi Can the new units be connected to a 4.5kg or 9kg gas bottle or can they only run off the small canisters
Luke - ATWELL, WA(9 years ago)
Hi Luke,
The Hot Water on Demand system can be used with a 4.5/9kg size with the right hose kit. We’re out of stock of the Coleman brand kit, but Companion make one that will work exactly the same way so we’d recommend checking out the Primus Cylinder Hose Kit POL.

Using the Coleman H2Oasis Elite? 1 answer
G`day, I`ve had two of the old green Coleman units. Both have failed on me, and I`m very wary about getting ANY unit, regardless of brand. Both units failed in electrics with charging, and both units the pumps have failed, due to rusting on the impeller shaft, that wears against the water seal. So essentially seizes the pump. A poor engineering design, that seems to be inherent with all the brands. Have any of these issues been rectified, and can "this" unit be used while charging?
John - Brisbane(10 years ago)
Hi John, I'm sorry to hear of your previous troubles. There have been no changes made to the pump that we are aware of. Rust will occur if the unit is not completely dry before it's put away, to avoid rust build up you can use WD40 spray before and after each trip.
These new units can be used while charging, and this one runs on 12V or 240V. They also have a new battery lock feature which stops the unit from going flat when not in use, although it's still a good idea to charge it up every few months to prolong your battery life.
I hope this helps, if you'd like to discuss this further please give us a call on 1300 914 007.

do you need water presure to run this unit or does it pump from any sorce?2 answers
Mike - AUSTRAL EDEN, NSW(10 years ago)
Thanks for asking Mike. This unit comes with standard hose fittings and also a pump so you can use any water source. Coleman also supply a collapsible water container with this unit which you can fill and then connect your hose to and pump water for your shower or dishes etc. One thing to be aware of if you are using the hose fitting, is that there is no regulator so if you turn the tap on quite quickly the hose will just shoot off. Just turn the tap on gradually and you'll be fine.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to give us a buzz on 1300 914 007.
Lisa - Snowys(10 years ago)
Hi Mike. This unit features its own pump that can attach to a water bottle or submerged into a bucket or tub. There is no need for additional pumps to get that great hot shower on your camping trip.

Battery Run Time & LPG/Cartridge Gas consumption1 answer
Hi there, 1. Competitor HWOD systems state how many 5 min showers one could expect from a single (full) charge of the onboard lithium battery. (eg. the Aquacube states 1 charge = 8 x 5 Min showers). Can you confirm how many 5 min showers the Coleman H20asis Elite is capable of? 2. in terms of gas, using the 468g cartridge on the medium heat setting for an average shower how many 5 min showers could one expect - and if connecting an LPG bottle (eg. 1kg) with these settings how many showers?
scott - CAIRNS, QLD(10 years ago)
I'll work this out as best I can with the figures i have Scott, but it is all approximate as are the Aquacube specs. The new Hot Water On Demand series has an 80 minute run-time, so you'll get approximately 16 x 5 minute showers from a full charge. As for gas consumption, I found out that one 468g canister will heat up to 150 litres of water on high, so you can expect this to be more on a lower setting. A 1kg bottle would be upward of 250 litres. At a flow rate of 2.3L/minute, you can expect to use a total of 184 litres (2.3L x 80 minutes) of water from one charge, which will require one and a bit canisters or a 1kg bottle with some spare gas once the battery runs out. I hope this helps, remember to keep in mind that this is all approximate, factors such as external temperature need to be taken into account.

Dimensions 1 answer
Specs say the dimensions are 42 by 25 by 53 cm. But seeing the pictures with a propane cylinder it seems maybe the dimensions are smaller? Propane bottles are 10 cm, and is doesn't seem like the width is 2.5 times the width of the propane bottle on the picture. I was wondering if I could get the dimensions of just the unit (or really confirm it is 25, 42, and 53cm? Also, wondering the length of the unit, not inuding the regulator and its protector number? Thanks!
Lindaleehunter@me.com - Santee(10 years ago)
Hi Linda, thanks for picking this up, we have taken dimensions from Coleman but it turns out they are vastly smaller. I have updated out website to reflect the outermost dimensions of the whole unit, being 47L x 17W x 36H cm, this includes the bars and dial. The dimensions of the unit without the protector bar, regulator or shower rail are 30.5L x 17W x 36H cm. Sorry for the confusion, I hope this is all the information you need.

Water storage bag included?1 answer
Does the h2oasis elite come with a collaspable water storage container. And if so, does the pump diction end attach to the water bag?
Linda - Santee(10 years ago)
It is included Linda, we overlooked this detail in our product description sorry. It's a 5 gallon or approximately 19 litre collapsible container that is compatible with the water pump of both Hot Water On Demand Oasis units, meaning you simply attach it to the outlet of the container rather than submerging it in a water vessel.
Ben - Snowys(10 years ago)
Can you stop and start water flow from the shower head?1 answer
I've read that if you stop the water flow from the shower head, the unit has to be restarted to start flow again. Apparently some sort of safety feature. Is this true? Also can you please advise how long it takes to recharge the battery back to full?
Travis - Townsville(10 years ago)
You're right Travis, I found an explanation on page 8 of the User Manual which you can download from our website (under the product description). It indicates that if the shower head is set to "OFF", a low water flow warning is triggered and the unit will shut off for safety reasons (overheating). The shower head needs to be set to open before restarting. As for battery charge time, it needs 6 hours of charge for the first time, subsequent charges will be of a similar time-frame.
Ben - Snowys(10 years ago)
What is the flow rate in litres per minute? Is it adjustable down to circa 2 litres?2 answers
John - Sydney(10 years ago)
I'm not sure sorry John, this detail is not provided anywhere on the product. I'll put an enquiry in with Coleman, but it is unlikely I will get a response at this time on a Friday. I'll make a note to follow it up with them on Monday and get back to you.
Ben - Snowys(10 years ago)
Hi John, Coleman have come up with the goods quickly this-morning. Flow rate for these is 2.3L per minute. The outgoing pressure is improved and the shower head manages this pressure better, so the unit uses less water with better pressure.
