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?

Most 'portable' tankless heaters are propane, and can turn COLD creek water into hot shower water
Portable camping water heaters are NOT electric
i don't see why what the OP asked will not work
use a barbecue LP tank the portable heater connected to the outside water tap
and fill his tub/sauna/whatever for a hot soak on the patio
The LP models state a 30 to 35 degree temp raise from inlet water temp. So, COLD creek water(lets be generous at 60 degrees) would be 90 to 95 degrees output. THAT is NOT hot water. Now, they are designed for quick showers at Campsites. NOT designed to fill mini-bathtub to soak in. Once you start attempting to fill a Bathtub the water will quickly cool down(not much) but enough to nullify the type temps you want to soak in. Now the Larger L10 model may be large enough to do the job but it is not as portable as the L5. Doug
