so till today I didn't know what a camping instant hotwater heater was, I googled and at least I've seen pictures.
What I don't understand is how does the camping instant hotwater generate CO2? will love to understand some of the tech behind it...
Has anyone of you growers tried this stuff?

what does the comment mean by "just plug ur co2 controller in2 a pump"? which type of pump? is it in the waterheater or must be bought..
As you can see i'm really lost...so help me out :)

I imagine it kicks on when it senses water flowing through it, so instead of plugging power into your co2 regulator or co2 generator from your controller you have the water pump plugged into the controller (have the pump in a bucket and recirc from bucket through camping heater and back into bucket maybe?). And obviously you have your propane tank plugged into the portable camping heater as well at all times. Its cheaper but imo I would rather spend a little more and get a generator than deal with water hoses, pumps, buckets of water etc lol.

One advantage would be the heat is at least partially transferred into the water, that could be useful in controlling temperature.

it is an 18+gl resevoir
a water pump
a prtable water heater
a propane source
and a controller

the co2 comes from combustion
fire creates water and co2 as byproducts
