Easy as that.

Fast setup

Quick-connect gas, water in and water out.
Done.

Full control

Choose your exact temperature with simple adjustments.

One touch operation

Simply flick the switch and hot water will start flowing.

Dishwashing

A proper home-like sink & faucet. Dishwashing duty never looked so good.

Magnet Mount

Stick the shower head to any metal surface, or hang it from a hook. It’s got all the options.

Tent Integration

Separate the hose from the handle for a ceiling-mounted shower with a convenient wall switch.

Rich Spray

The shower hose has been designed to provide a rich spray at all flow rates and angles.

Taps into any water source

Use your HOTTAP with a jerry can or throw the sturdy two-stage water filter into the nearest creek or lake and pump water up to 100ft to your campsite.

Two-Stage Water Filter

The water intake features a two-stage filter that will remove everything but the very finest sediments, and it’s sturdy enough to be thrown into shallow rivers and creeks.

What’s more, it’s easy to clean. No tools required, simply untwist the cover and pull apart, then flush out with water before putting back together.

Long Distance Feeds

The powerful pump self-primes to 6ft and can push water up to 100ft up an incline. Now you will finally be able to truly connect to nature.

The pump is rated to IPX3, so you can leave it out in the rain, hail and shine. And don’t worry if there’s a limited water supply – the pump won’t be damaged by running dry.

We’ll even throw in the kitchen sink.

Unpack a proper kitchen sink, complete with a pivoting and tilting faucet, drain and dish racks solid enough to support cast-iron pots.

Sounds like a crap load of stuff to carry? The sink doubles as a handy storage container for the lot.

Build your outdoor bathroom

Joolca gear is built with modularity in mind. Like building blocks, it’s easy to build your perfect bathroom in the bush.

My wife and I practice setting it a few times in preparation of the up coming moose hunt. Set up and take down was very easy as stated in the video. Quality of this shower tent is also very good.

Haven't used it yet but will be using it this weekend.
I did test it after it arrived and it worked perfectly. The water was nice and hot, even coming from a very cold creek in the Rocky Mountains(9300ft elv).However, the display doesn't work the way it should. Some of the LEDs don't light up as bright as the others. Can't tell from the picture but the temp is hard to read when in use. And, it looks like a rubber band is in the display at the bottom. Still giving it 5 stars because this thing awesome!!! I got the nomad kit

What do other people have to say?

I brought the Hottap Essential,it has blowen my mind for it's easy to operate,affordable quality equipment.

Amazing bit of kit.

Wife loves it, therefore I love it. Easy to use. As hot as you want. My wife laughed when there was steam coming out of the en-suite tent on the third day of camping. Highly recommend.

It's so awesome

Easy to use and great to have after riding all day dirt bike in socal desert it's so nice to take a hot shower.I hope it will lost for some timesIt looks nice itemI wish they will supply extra o riñg for the quick release adapter you never know if it will start leaking on a trip.At first I purchase only the shower because I thought my other shower system I have will work with the water pump but it was weak and will not make the heater to come on so make sure you get the shower and their water pump so it will work perfectly. Also if you go to home Depot and pick adapter for garden hose you will have another option for taking shower at the campgrounds or whatever you have running water available.I definitely recommend this shower system.

I finally got it and it’s awesome!

Not their fault but definitely worth the wait. Just received it and had to try it out...made hot water instantly. The temperature outside was 38F.

Frequently asked questions

How to power your HOTTAP

HOTTAP runs on two D-cell batteries. The batteries supply power to the ignition and LED monitor, and will last 3-6 months (depending on use).

Click here to learn more about HOTTAP power FAQs.

How to power your Joolca pump

The Joolca pump runs on 12.0V power and can draw up to 5.8A per hour. Use the included cigarette socket cable, you can plug your Joolca pump directly into the cigarette socket port inside your car, or into the cigarette socket port of your portable power station.

Click here to learn more about powering your Joolca pump.

Gas requirements for HOTTAP

HOTTAP uses gas to heat up water and can run off 9kg (20lb) BBQ gas bottles for 15 hours of continuous use.

Click here to learn about region-specific gas information.

Does HOTTAP draw water by itself?

HOTTAP does not draw water by itself as it does not have a built-in pump. You will need a pressurised water source to feed water into the HOTTAP. Consider our 12V pump, which is included with the HOTTAP Outing and HOTTAP Nomad.

Click here to learn more about pump requirements for HOTTAP.

Do I have to protect HOTTAP from the elements?

HOTTAP was designed for portable outdoor use. Your HOTTAP is splash-proof and can manage a little drizzle, however, prolonged exposure to rain/water will damage the internal components. We recommend using and storing your HOTTAP in a dry place.

How much water do I need for a shower?

HOTTAP has an adjustable water flow rate between 2.5-6 LPM (0.6-1.6 GPM). So, if you want a 5-minute shower, you will use between 12.5-30 litres (3.3-8 gallons) of water.
