SAFETY FEATURES
This appliance is equipped with the following
safety features:
Over temperature sensor – The appliance will
not allow the burner to remain in operation
once the outlet water temperature reaches
50°C. To relight the burner you will need to
turn the water flow off and back on.
Water flow sensor – Water must be flowing
through the system to allow the burner to
ignite. In the case that the water supply is
restricted or ceases, for example if you close
the water flow at the shower nozzle, the burner
will be extinguished and will not relight until
the water flow recommences.
HANGING THE APLIANCE
Outdoor use only - The appliance must be
used outdoors only and is to be operated no
closer than 500mm from the sides and
1000mm from above to all combustible
surfaces, fabrics, flammable materials and
people.
The appliance is designed to be hug upright
against a non-combustible vertical surface. Do
not operate from a non-upright position doing
so can be dangerous and will damage the
appliance.
During operation ensure that both air inlets
and the top exhaust are kept free from
obstructions and closure.

one of the washers (contained in the pack) into one end
of the threaded fitting of the hose. Apply Teflon tape to
avoid leaks and attach the nozzle.
4. Attach the shower hose to the ‘red’ quick connect fitting
(water output).
5. Go over and tighten all hose fittings and connections to
ensure water tightness.

This appliance can be used with a water input source that
provides at least 45kPa of pressure. This guide will use a mains
pressure (i.e. garden tap) as the water input source.
For use with water input sources, such as the FLOTAP low
voltage pump, please consult the pump instruction manual or
call customer service on 1300 669 500.
1. Find a suitable, sturdy, non-combustible vertical surface
to hang the appliance on via the mounting tabs. The
surface should be at least 500mm clear from the sides
and 1000mm from the top of all combustible surfaces,
fabrics, flammable materials and people.
2. Connect the flexible gas hose to the ‘gas inlet’. Tighten
the connection with a spanner, taking care not to over
tighten as doing so may damage the assembly.
3. Connect the gas regulator to the POL propane gas
cylinder. Hand-tighten the connection in an anti-
clockwise direction.
4. Turn the gas cylinder on, ‘Open’, in an anticlockwise
direction one full turn. Check the connection for leaks
by coating orifices with soapy water. DO NOT use a
flame. If bubbles occur or a leak is detected, turn the
cylinder valve off, ‘Close’, retighten all connections and
retest.
5. Once it has been determined that there are no leaks
present, the appliance is ready to use. Leave the gas
cylinder off.
Note:The gas cylinder must be positioned away and to
the side of the appliance. It must never be directly aside,
below or above the appliance.

1. Ensure that the flow regulation switch on the shower
nozzle handle is in the ‘Off’ position.
2. IMPORTANT! It is important that when starting the
appliance that the gas regulator is set to the ‘minimum’
position (i.e. turned completely to the left).
3. IMPORTANT! It is important that when starting the
appliance that the water regulator is set to the ‘maximum’
position (i.e. turned completely to the left).!
4. Turn the gas cylinder on, ‘Open’, in an anticlockwise
direction one full turn.
5. Open the valve for the input water source.
Note: Water should not flow out as the shower nozzle is
in the ‘Off’ position.
6. When ready, slide the flow regulation switch on the
shower nozzle to the ‘On’ position. Water will start to flow.
7. Adjust the temperature and flow rate through the
shower head by adjusting the ‘Flame’ and ‘Water Flow’
knobs.!
Note: For higher temperatures increase the ‘Flame’ regulator
control and decrease the ‘Water Flow’ regulator control.
Warning! Take care to test the temperature of the water flowing
from the shower head as it may be hot enough to cause injury.
The water flow can be stopped at any time by sliding the
regulation switch on the shower head to the ‘Off’ position. The
burner will extinguish.
To reignite the burner, slide the flow regulation switch on the
shower head to the ‘On’ position. Water flow will commence and
the burner will once again ignite.

Operation

JOOLCA HOTTAP – MODEL JCA11001 USER GUIDE

With the appliance operating, turn the gas cylinder off, ‘Close’. The
burner will continue to operate until all gas has been bled from
the gas hose and regulator assembly.
1. Turn off the water supply at the tap (mains) and disconnect
from the ‘Water Input’. Disconnect the shower hose from
the ‘Water Output’. Allow all water to drain out from hosing
before rolling up and storing away.
2. Disconnect the gas regulator and hose assembly from the appliance and gas cylinder and store
away. To do this, first:
2.1 Check that the appliance is fully extinguished; the gas cylinder control valve is in
the fully off, ‘Close’, position and all surfaces are cool.
2.2 Loosen the connection to the gas cylinder in a clockwise direction and remove.
2.3 Using a spanner, loosen the connection to the gas inlet in an anti-clockwise
direction and remove.
3. Disconnect the quick connect adaptors from the ‘Water Input’ and ‘Water Output’.
4. To ensure that the water has completely drained from the appliance, open the drain valve
(ribbed cylindrical stem next to the ‘Water Input’). Make sure to close the drain valve once
water has been drained.
Using warm, soapy water and a mild detergent wipe down all
surfaces and areas of the appliance. Take care not to allow water
to enter the top vent.!
Before each use, check that the screen filter on the ‘Water Input’
pipe is in place and cleaned of any particles.
DO NOT submerge the appliance in a sink or bowl.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or bleach.

This guide should be followed in case of failure of the appliance to operate correctly. If symptoms
persist contact Customer Service on 1300 669 500.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR MODIFY THE APPLIANCE.
PROBLEM
CAUSE
The appliance
will not ignite at
all.
Ensure new batteries are installed in the correct polarity (+/-). Check the cap of the
battery case for instructions on how they should be installed.
Check for sufficient water flow and pressure. The unit must have a minimum of
45kPa of sustained water pressure and at least 4LPM to activate the burners.
There is the possibility of finding some kind of epoxy or debris within the water
regulator. Check that the water inlet filter screen is clean. To flush the system,
connect the input water source to the ‘Water Outlet’ and turn on. Once complete,
reconnect the appliance as per instructions.
If you can hear ‘clicking’, but no ignition, air may have contaminated the gas inlet.
Unscrew the inlet gas connection a few turns until you can hear gas seeping from
between the thread. Let it purge for a few seconds and re-tighten.
NOTE: Gas hose must be attached to the inlet thread while purging.
NOTE: Gas cylinder must be on, ‘Open’.!
Check that the shower flow water regulator is in the ‘Open’ position.
Troubleshooting

JOOLCA HOTTAP – MODEL JCA11001 USER GUIDE
11
The unit starts
for a short
amount of time
and then shuts
off.
Check for sufficient water flow and pressure. The unit must have a minimum of
45kPa of sustained water pressure and at least 4LPM to activate the burners.
Do not expose the water heater to strong winds as this may cause the flame to
blow out.
Water is not hot
enough.
Adjust the gas regulator and water regulator to meet your desired temperature. To
increase temperature; turn the gas regulator control from minimum to maximum
and turn the water regulator control from maximum to minimum.
Check source water temperature. If the source water temperature is too cold then
you may need to ‘cycle’ the water through the system back into the source reservoir
then through the appliance again to meet your desired temperature.
Check if there is a blue flame in the ‘viewing window’. If you see a yellow flame it
could mean a breakdown in the gas regulator - immediately shut down the unit.
Please call Joolca Customer Service directly if this happens, DO NOT attempt to use
the appliance.

Water flows
through the unit,
but it is not hot.
Ensure new batteries are installed in the correct polarity (+/-). Check the cap of
the battery case for instructions on how they should be installed.
Check for sufficient water flow and pressure. The unit must have a minimum of
45kPa of sustained water pressure and at least 4LPM to activate the burners.
Ensure that the Liquid Propane regulator is correctly threaded to the unit and
that there is an adequate amount of gas in the Propane bottle.
Verify that the incoming and outgoing water supply is connected correctly. The
shower hose should be attached to the ‘Water Outlet’ (located at the center)
and the incoming water should be connected to the ‘Water Inlet’ (located at the
far right).
