🚿 Mr. Heater F235300 Basecamp BOSS-XB13 Multi-Purpose Battery Operated Shower System Review

I bought one of these heaters. The pump worked fine but I couldn't do anything to get the heater working. Tried new batteries to make sure they were consistent, incoming water was cold. everything they tell you I decided it was a bad pad so I sent it back and ordered another one. Three days before I left to fish, the thing I needed to replace it arrived. Exactly the same problem! I tried calling customer service (which according to the newspaper was during office hours) and I kept getting the…

Bought as a temporary solution while I am doing a complete renovation of a 100 year old house I bought. I was hoping it would take 3-6 months but actually I used it as my main shower for almost two years. Mister. The Heater Boss-XB13 has never given me any problems. I live in Massachusetts, and even in the dead of winter when the house was a bit chilly (before the permanent heater was installed) this thing was never set above average or I would have burned out. Until I bought D size batteries I

Water is heated. However, this is very fickle! The batteries have to be fresh, the screen on the bottom of the pump has to be cleaned and then it pretty much dies. In addition, we could not use it in the shower position, we had to sit so as not to raise the atomizer too high, otherwise it would switch off. If it weren't so difficult to keep the heater from turning off all the time, we could have it running more often. Also, you really need to control the temperature better as it can get hot…

This shower works well and is easy to use. I really like how the flame spontaneously ignites when water flows. This makes it easier to save water. Just press the pump button to turn off the water until you need it, and boom, the heater turns back on. Wonderful. However, there are some areas that could be improved. 1) Temperature control. It can be difficult to reach the ideal temperature. 2) Weak pump. If you simply turn the shower handle upside down so that the jet is directed upwards (e.g…

Used this a few times from hunting camp this fall. Although the water pressure is good, the water only heats up to lukewarm water and is quite uncomfortable when showering, especially in cold weather. I ended up adding a return line from the shower head line using flexible hoses and ball valves. The water is circulated until warm enough, which takes less than 30 seconds, and then diverted to the showerhead. Another option is to heat the water with a camping stove. Is this the ideal solution…

Haven't used it for camping yet but I've done some testing and it's true to increase the water temperature by 35°C and keep a constant temperature setting. I will use it in the salon next summer. With spring water at 60 °, I immersed the shower head in the bucket for about a minute and stirred, after which the temperature of the water immediately rose to a hot shower. Yes, it works on D batteries, but we knew there was a desire to save $50 or more by not buying an upgraded model. Seriously…

Works very well. I didn't set it above average in 40 degree weather because it heats the water well. I also have an enclosed shower where one side is for the shower and the other side is for the camping toilet. The pump works well but don't expect house pressure. However, this is enough to get the job done. I've also tried hanging a shower head on the roof of my shower, I don't recommend this because it kind of disables the pilot and the water gets cold due to the back pressure. You can connect
