Portable tankless water heaters....
Could I use one of these to fill a mini bathtub on my patio? I would just like to soak every so often. Many of them produce 2 gallons of hot water a minute...the question is how hot. Anyone know?

I use an Eccotemp L5 I bought about 8 - 10 years ago when tent and pop up camping. With outdoor temp in the 50's to 70's connected to the campgroung spigot with 50 feet of garden hose I can get 55 degree well water at the camp ground warm enough to wash dishes or take a warm shower. That would be burner on full and water flow throttled.
At home connected to the spigot outside and using city water in summer I had to turn the burner down and increase the water flow to keep from scalding my hand and the Chihuahua when giving her a bath.
I bought it through Sportsmans Guide. It is an outdoor model with a heat deflector to divert the exhaust when mounted to an outside wall. I mounted mine to a piece of plywood and use bungie cords to strap it to a tree.
An L7 or L10 might be better for filling an outdoor tub.
