GASLAND6L 1.58GPM Portable Propane Tankless Water Heater with Pump and 1/2" Twist-On Pipe Strainer

This thing is simply amazing. I bought a house gas tankless years back and it was like $1500. I could stick this in the bathroom and take showers with it and it would be the same. I bought a 20 pound tank to 1 pound tank connection so I only need 1 pound bottles for it. Keep in mind if you have the middle setting set to red which is summer it gradually heats but in blue it cranks up over 125 degrees or more instantly. Love it. I have a camp with land. Have a well so now I have hot water

Very pleased with this purchase. Also I received excellent customer service when I had a small issue that was handled quickly. Thank you

We purchased this product to use at our hunting cabin, the guys come back covered in muds and Lord knows what else, and this seemed like a good way to hose them off before they could come inside. It took us about 20 minutes to get the temperature adjustments right, and it did go from freezing to scalding hot on a regular basis, but it was adequate for our needs, it lasted about 7 weeks.Last week my husband brought it back from the cabin, he said it stopped working, he had tried everything. He wanted me to return it. I knew they would want me to contact support and follow their directions to test and check all the usual operator errors. I removed the outer shell to examine the connections and thermal couple, they appeared to be intact and placed correctly.The guys did not bring back a propane tank or the water in/out hoses. so after trying to troubleshoot with support and 20 trips to the shed looking a propane tank, hoses, nozzle adapters, I finally had to let the support employee leave our online session so i could go to the hardware store and purchase what I needed. By the time I got back, it was after 5p; they only work 8a-5p Monday-Friday, apparently having a working hot water heater after 5pm and on weekends is not included in the purchase price.Earlier tonight, I hooked everything up, (I was the one that put it together and hooked it up the 1st time). I had left the cover off and hung the heater at about 4ft high in the middle of the garage, the handle was able to slide over the water pipes that split our garage into 2 sides. I read the troubleshooting directions 20 times and took each step carefully and purposefully making sure that I was not missing anything. The 1st time I got to the step of turning on the propane, nothing happened. I turned everything off and inspected the connections, then I read the directions again. I waited about 3-5 minutes and tried the process again, my 11 y.o. son was in the garage with me (both garage doors open). It immediately ignited. See, I told him, I knew your Dad had to be doing something wrong. I took a step toward it to look a little closer at the equipment. The blue flames were all proportionate and uniform. I was reaching for the water out hose to start assessing the temperature when the flames turned yellow and seemed to be underneath the burner. I asked my son, does it always look like that? He said yes, and at that moment the flames leaped down to the connection of the propane hose to the heater. I screamed, but jumped over to the propane tank to turn it off, and then quickly disconnect the hose from it. We stood at a distance and waited for the flames in the heater to extinguish themselves, then I disconnected the propane hose from the heater.I logged onto the support page, but it was 5:53pm, they are off until Monday. Thank goodness we were not injured and I am so glad I had taken the shell off. If it was on, I would not have been able to see the flames move down the back of the heater toward the propane hose.I researched about 5 similar models form other companies before purchasing this product, the review are all pretty similar, some really good, some a little negative. I definitely did not find any reviews that were anything like my experience. I am not upset that the equipment malfunctioned, I am irritated that I am expected to take off time from work if I want to troubleshoot issues with customer support; and I am dumbfounded that Amazon does not allow you to return items from Gasland after 60 days.I am interested to hear what the company expects me to "troubleshoot" next, but it will have to wait until Monday.

So let's get this out of the way for the people that are viewing this and have no idea if it may or may not work. It does work, and it works wonderfully.Specifically I went ahead and bought the model that comes with the LED temp reading which I need to emphasize is in Celsius not Fahrenheit. Not a big deal once you Google how to convert between C to F so whatever. Frankly the readout is necessary otherwise you'll be relying on feeling alone. The hot water this puts out is just jaw dropping, we set it on the "Winter" setting on the upper-middle Dial and with just halfway up the gas and the water pressure dial at full (all the way to the left) it will easily put out hot water at 44 Celsius (Roughly 111 Degrees Fahrenheit) which is my ideal temperature for taking a shower but a more consistent temperature of 42 celsius (107 Fahrenheit) seems to be the norm for this heater. It'll all depend on the temp of your incoming water and how high you have your gas dial set. Where I've set it up, I draw water from a standard Garden Hose faucet with water coming out at about 56-57 Degrees Fahrenheit and it will heat up that water immediately in about 10 seconds or so. I hang it up via the handle bar thing included on it and it seems stable so far, the mounting kit that's included is only for wood and in my case it's near a concrete wall but it'll work just fine if you use the included hardware kit. Speaking of the accessories, the hose included for the shower head is FLIMSY as all, I'm still using it but it'll break eventually especially if you move the hose around much. It's also rather short so careful where you mount the heater unit it since there isn't much length on that hose. I ordered a nice long one off of amazon here for 10 bucks or so that is much sturdier and will replace it with that once I get the chance but in my case I mounted everything close by so it works just fine for now. The shower head itself is fine, it's all plastic and the push button may be hard for some people but I have no real complaints, maybe I'll replace it with something better but I'll have to research what works with the heater. The brass adapters included seemed well made and I have no complaints on that end. And the gas line to hook up to a propane tank seems well built but the regulator itself feels plasticky. I'm using it right now since it works but I'll replace that with something sturdier down the line. The kit also comes with some wrenches and oh boy did they cheap out on that. They simply don't work, period. It seems like a 9 year old cut these out of sheet metal (and that might not be far from the truth) and they were useless. Luckily I had some adjustable wrenches otherwise I'd be out of luck.I should note that I set this up for a place in Tijuana, Mexico so if you are from there or plan to use it there it'll work just fine with some caveats so keep reading. If you are using this for USA applications everything is plug and play, sort of.So my setup:-Standard 5/8" hose from Home Depot. There's a bigger 1/2" hose adapter included but I have no idea why you would need a hose with such a huge diameter. Whatever.-Female to Female 5/8" adapter from Home Depot. This connects to the Garden Hose Faucet into the hose itself, you'll need it. It's about 3 bucks so just get it or order it from Amazon, your choice. You WILL NEED IT.-An adjustable wrench or some standard wrenches. So I'm not sure what the diameter is on the included adapters for the inlets and outlets, I just used two pairs of adjustable wrenches to tighten everything down. Use one wrench to hold on to the brass fittings itself and the other one to tighten everything down as not to damage anything. Common sense will take you a long way.-Teflon tape. The kit with the heater came with some already but An extra roll is cheap and never hurts. I ended up needing it since I suck at installing things like this. Note that teflon tape isn't sticky so you'll need a pair of steady hands.-D Cell batteries. Got these at home depot too, some standard Energizer ones for $8 bucks because I'm a genius and should have just ordered them here on Amazon. Oh well. I should note that the battery cover on the heater unit itself do in fact have the provided positive and negative indicators when you open the cover up but since they are part of the white plastic they are hard to see. I used a bright LED flashlight to take a good look, they are there.So Garden hose on the inlet with the provided 5/8" adapter for the unit itself, DO NOT FORGET TO INSTALL THE INCLUDED RUBBER GASKET or everything will leak. The gasket will go inside the adapter and that screws into the inlet on the unit itself, put teflon tape on every part that has threads, Teflon tape on the pipe on the unit itself, more Teflon tape on the threads on the adapter. Make sure whatever garden hose you use has a rubber gasket on the female ends as well to avoid leaks, if you don't have one, home depot sells a kit of gaskets for standard 5/8" hose for 5 bucks or so. The hose I bought already had one but just letting you guys know.The hose for the shower (the hot water outlet) is 1/2"? Whatever, it's small, so put Teflon tape on the threads on the unit itself and screw the included hose onto that, then take the other end with the bell cover and just gently screw it onto the shower head, I didn't use teflon tape on the plastic thread for the shower head itself and It doesn't seem to leak.The next important part is obviously the gas line and for the love of all make sure to put teflon tape on the threads for the gas line on the unit self, DO NOT FORGET this or you will leak propane everywhere. Properly tighten this down then connect the other end to the propane tank you will use. Put teflon tape on that as well because safety. Once everything is hooked up get some soapy water and put it on the gas line ends, turn on the propane and turn on your water source, and check for leaks. Google a youtube video of this if have no idea what I'm talking about or how it will look like. Or get a fancy gas leak detector just in case, up to you.Once everything is up and running just press down on the shower head and you should hear the click click sound of the heater igniter going off and it should light up the gas. There's a small grill on the side of the unit where you can inspect the flame but it's pretty obvious when it gets going.And that should be it.There are three dials on this unit, the leftmost one is for how high you want the gas to go, the middle one is a "winter" and "summer" setting, probably to adjust how much gas is introduced into the heater I just set mine to winter and call it a day since it's cold anyway. The one on the right (the blue one) is for how much water is circulating into the unit. I leave this on all the way but the way you adjust temp is to first turn up the gas and then lower the water pressure on the right if you want the water to get hotter. This will lower the pressure of the water coming from the shower head. Mess around with it until you get it to what you want.So far it's been working great, no issues, the accessories are iffy but it works. If you are thinking twice about buying it I can say this one works fine.Extra notes:-I installed this in Tijuana, Mexico and for anyone wanting to use this unit in Mexico you need to know that the gas line included with the kit only works for newer style propane tanks in the USA, Mexico is still using an older connector variant for their gas vessels and it simply will not fit. I was able to completely replace the connector on mine but I would highly recommend finding a compatible gas regulator line in a Mexican home depot if you can get one. I would suggest you take the unit with you and test out different gas hoses. Not the fault of the product since it's not being used for its intended country. IIRC, gas containers in mexico have internal threads while tanks in the USA have external threads and some safety valves and such and they aren't compatible.-We turn of the water and gas after every use because, well, safety but there is one thing you should watch out for. We had a family member who turned on the water faucet but forgot to turn on the gas line on the propane tank itself. With the water on coming out of the shower head they then went to turn on the gas on the propane tank itself and of course, the gas didn't ignite because I assume it relies on the initial burst of water pressure to turn on the gas. We caught this idiocy in time but make sure you turn on both the gast and your water source on before turning it on or you'll get a fireball. Nothing happened on our end but just something to watch out for. Not sure if it leaked propane at all but better safe than sorry.I'll include some pictures later but boy oh boy was this purchase worth it.
