Immersion Water Heater,with 304 Stainless Steel Cover Intelligent Temperature Control and UL Certification Portable Bucket Heater Heat 5 Gallons of Water in Minutes

this worked really well when i went to live abroad where they didnt have hot water. it took abour 15-20 min to heat up a bucket of cold water to its max temp which is burning hot, u have to be careful and dilute it with cold water to achieve that perfect temp for a shower.

I bought 2 and used them to heat My Huge bathtub. In addition I bought 2 Heavy duty extension cords both long enough to put them on separate electric lines. No problems at all & long my Hot bathes again :)Great Quality and the added temperature gauge is handy to get an Idea on length of time it will take at first.

*edit from previous review. Company was excellent and reached out to me to make things better. They shipped me a brand new unit for free and I said I would honestly review them better if all was well. Sorry folks, used in the hot tub several times with no issue but left it in there overnight last week and reached in to grab my filter to change it and got a nice jolt of 120v up my arm. The new one, like the other one, apparently cannot be used at high temp (its own setting) without shorting out or losing it's seal, not sure which one but it is an open current right in the water. I had a temp monitor in there to track the temp and it reached close to 130 degrees overnight in a 5 person inflatable tub. I know, I should not have left it on overnight but if you leave your pool accessories on overnight you don't usually worry about them electrocuting you the next day when you take a dip.I do not say this lightly, do not use this with humans or animals in or in contact with the water, you can be electrocuted. May not kill you but I am not sure who wants to find out. I certainly would not want to be chest deep in the water and have it zap me.Original review below------I have been using this device for a couple weeks to enhance the temp of an outdoor inflatable hot tub. I would run this for many hours at a time. The other day when I was closing up the tub, I plugged the unit in and I was replacing the cover when I touched the water and felt a jolt. I was barefoot at the time but there should not be an open current from the unit in the tub. It was not a deadly jolt so I wanted to ensure this was what was doing it and I unplugged the unit and touched the water, no issue. I carefully plugged the unit back in and touched the water again, no doubt, there was current running though it. Not enough to kill me but not gonna experiment and find out. It is being returned and I will not get the same brand again. For anyone reading this that might use this for a tub or kiddie pool, do NOT take the chance of having your kids, pets, or livestock near the water when this is plugged in. Mine might be a single bad unit but I doubt anyone reading this wants to find out there hard way that I am not alone.

Heats up fast! Works good! I use it to warm up my daughter's kiddly pool on the cooler days and it does an excellent job. I wish I would have bought this years ago.

It warms water in no time. 5 gallon bucket recommended or put in sink and warm water in sink. Be careful with the heater. It does not take long to heat up water.

Most of the reviews about the device catching fire can be narrowed down to improper use. The heater needs to be FULLY submerged to operate. This includes the yellow cap and part of the cable (Plug stays high and dry). Will heat a 5 gallon bucket really quickly and can heat a hot tub or a kiddy pool with some time. Will not heat a pool. The thermometer is accurate, but the water can heat unevenly in a hot tub compared to a bucket so to get accurate readings, measure from many areas or mix up the hot tub. Worked fine with no over-heating from my extension cable rated for 1625W 125V 13Amp, but would still recommend connecting to a fused outlet. Do not leave unattended.

Got this heater with a battery operated pump shower system. It's a lot of power generated really quickly, typical of heating elements. The time it took to get a 5 gallon tub that came with the shower system took about 20 minutes to get from 45 degrees Fahrenheit to 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Everything about this heater made me nervous to use from the directions to the reviews. I understand directions just covering their rears with liability so with any electricity and hot objects use common sense and best practices. I plugged it into a surge protector that I have to not blow my fuse and the surge protector made a clicking noise while using so prob won't try that method again. It's an older 5 year old protector without much use. The cord did get warm to touch, not scorching or even hot but noticeably warm. Wish the cord was longer due to arrangement of outlets in bathroom. Def nowhere near the quick times that they advertised with my particular heater. It does work, much slower than advertised, and it is sketchy to use but that may be my own anxiety after reading reviews etc. Def not something to leave for any duration of time without watching while in use. Did not burn my water tubs that like rubber or the same material as rain ponchos or inflatable pools.

This product really works great!I had a problem with my watee heater abd bought this product to use temporarily until my water heater gets fix. This product heat up my 5 gallon bucket in 5mins.
