    vehicle mounted heat exchanger for shower.

    Correct. There are two completely different lines running through the heat exchanger. One from the heater core line, and the second is for the fresh water.

    M maybe no more than a month. I use it a lot for washing stuff off.

    I flushed the shit out of it before I used it. Give it a shot. Use some peroxide, and flush it out another dozen times.

    vehicle mounted heat exchanger for shower.

    That makes sense. We haven’t used it for drink water though. Only washing. But I can go give it a try today and let you know. That water has been sitting in there for about a week now.

    vehicle mounted heat exchanger for shower.

    I don’t believe aluminum chloride is a problem unless you clean the tank with chloride. I researched as much as possible before I made the tank with 5052 H32 aluminum. You can clean/flush the tank with peroxide with no chemical reaction. I have only used it for washing though. There has been no...

    The heat exchanger is stainless steel, brazed with copper, so I shouldn’t have that problem.

    vehicle mounted heat exchanger for shower.

    The water gets extremely hot. Too hot actually. This is why I plumbed in an ingested water line and a mixer valve. As for pulling water from a lake, river, or bucket, I have a ball valve at the output of the water tank so I can lock it out of the system, and a hose bib with a quick connect...

    vehicle mounted heat exchanger for shower.

    It’s really hard to beat. And taking a hot shower anywhere is super hard to beat. Parent tip: 10 gal of water can give two experienced adults at least 2 to 4 showers each. But make your teenager kids go last because they will definitely use up all your water in the first go-round.

    vehicle mounted heat exchanger for shower.

    Here’s photos of mine. My 10gal tank is a drop-in I made to replace the small cubby area in the back cargo area of the JKU. I bought most of it off amazon, but made many trips to Lowe’s for fittings. Lowe’s had a much better selection of fittings then HD. I’ve got the water line tee’d right...

    vehicle mounted heat exchanger for shower.

    I just got done building a full onboard shower system for my '14 JKU. Since I have a 2 drawer galley in the rear cargo area, I could never access the small built-in storage area underneath. So I cut it out and built a 10 gal aluminum tank to drop in the big hole that was left. I mounted a 12v...
