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.

GottaGo in use is brilliant . I am very impressed with everything about the portable toilet . With one exception when opening the toilet up to empty the cassettes it has a tendency to overbalance .
I have seen a hack on social media centred around a chain or cord that stops the lid flipping all the way back . This hack work very well
If this was factory fitted it would make such a difference.

What do other people have to say?

Awesome bit of kit. Really happy with all products I have brought from Joolca

So far so good, very well made product,

It’s great.

Once set up you are all ready for a steamy hot shower. Better than any caravan shower and as good as at home.

Excellent

Compact and lightweight

Terrible took rubber end caps off and water came out of the hot water connection, I was away on a trip so needed to use it connected everything together turned it on and it immediately started blowing hoses, the connectors are not strong enough to hold under pressure from the pump!
Will return as soon as I’m home

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.
