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.

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.

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.

Sure, no problem

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...

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.

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...

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...

Getting very excited to have my onboard hot/cold water system with a quick deploying shower enclosure finished up this week.
