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 30m 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 1.8m and can push water up to 30m 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.

I have been living off grid for almost 4 years with my daughter and grandson. During this time I have acquired 3 pumps from you, this one will be my forth. The first one finally gave up after I forgot to turn it off, the next morning the pump wouldn't go and the battery that powered it was reading 10 volts.
I've been using them to provide water pressure to 2 of our cabins. One directly to the kitchen sink on one cabin and the other to a header on the other cabin. I also use them to pump water from one tank to another when one gets low.
With summer at the door step the new pump will be employed to pump water from a creek up to a drum to provide water for gardens and livestock. The creek is around 10 meters below the land that our cabins are on.

The Jooca shower system is awesome! We have rigged ours up to shower in the back of our weekender Horse Float. Great to have a hot shower when you have been trekking all day!

To be honest..... haven't actually used it but it looks great. Still trying to nut out a way of anchoring it to the shower floor (NZ regulation requirement) without actually perforating the stainless steel shower tray and also allowing it to slide forward to empty so that it doesn't have to be mounted 180 mm out from the back wall in what is a confined space.

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.

So far so good!!

I’ve only used my Joolca shower once at this stage but it has most definitely impressed me. The pressure and temperature are both better than I had expected. Great bit of kit, will hopefully last the distance

Very happy with the purchase

Everything you need for off-grid showers, all in a heavy duty storage container. It ticks every box for me.

Love it, so hot its great, easy to use

We are camping in our motorhome at our lifestyle block until our new house build is completed in July. Teamed it up with the Joolca single ensuite tent. It is amazing, So toasty warm in there each morning having a shower even though air temp one day was 2degrees. Best purchase ever. Love the dry area in there for towels while showering. Thank you Joolca for amazing products

Excited, I can't wait to open an use it.

Sorry guys I been away an haven't opened it yet nor used it as our camping plans had to be put on hold but I have no doubt it will be Awesome 👍I'd like to try it out at home so will I be able to connect the garden hose to it? Cheers Joolca

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.
