Coleman Hot Water on Demand Vs Companion Aquacube Logic Vs Companion Aquacube Digital

There are currently three primary choices of portable hot water systems available on the market today.  They are the:

• Coleman Hot Water on Demand
• Companion Aquacube Logic
• Companion Aquacube Digital

All of these hot water systems work in the same way to produce the hot water.  They all use a small pump to pull the water through copper piping where a gas burner is heating up the water.  They are all very good, and for this reason are available from Tentworld camping stores.

This gas burner is adjustable, to allow for you to adjust the temperature to what you require.

However, there are some slight differences in them that will appeal to different people.  The advantages of each unit are:
