    Google is not helping me!


    Does anyone know of the pumps on the Coleman hotwater on demands are submersible?

    Looks like its a pretty closed up pump but Mia knocked the collapsible bladder off the table last camping trip and the thread on the pump and bladder are a bit chewed and it leaks.

    Can I just throw the pump itself in a water container???

    Yep agree ^^^^^ On mine you just need to make sure the "up" is facing generally "up"
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Excellent, just got this from Kmart today to use.

    Only thing I could find for the pump to fit inside, apart from a bucket.

    I normally fill the bucket with cold or water then dump the pump in and recirculated until it's the right temp and happy days mate. That bottle is just something else to pack you don't need IMO.

    We use a 15 ltr bucket , a 4kg bottle fits inside that easily and then the bucket goes in the bottle holder.

    Just put some hose on the bottom of the bottle or some rubber inside the bucket or it will wear through a hole in the bucket.

    It can just live in the camper with the Coleman. Only need to use it when the family comes along and there is ample room in the camper.

    Setting up your shower tent next to a river or creek is the best part of glamping in winter. Your only limit is the amount of gas and battery so that's why you buy the 9kg adaptor and install a socket so you can plug an adjustable 12v adaptor inline with the 6v battery. (Unit doesn't work while on charge)

    Also the pump can sometimes fail to pick up. If so, shake it back and forth in the water like your trying to revive a fish but faster.
