Details You'll Love
Recirculating Heat System
HOTTAP Go preheats the entire tank before use, so every drop comes out at the temperature you set, up to 60°C (140°F).
Proper Shower Feel
The adjustable showerhead delivers a full, even spray, with flow control that lets you stretch your water or open it up for more pressure.
Dial It In at the Handle
Turn the water on, turn it off, and adjust the flow directly from the shower handle, without heading back to the unit.
One-Touch Operation
Set your temperature, press heat, and let HOTTAP Go bring the water up to temperature in just a few minutes.
Camp Cleanup Made Easy
At up to 60°C (140°F), HOTTAP Go is just as useful for dishes, muddy gear, bikes, boots, and pets as it is for showers.
Everything Packs Inside
The 12L tank doubles as the carry case, with the hose, showerhead, and gas hose packing neatly inside when you’re done.
