I hang it on a support post on my deck next to my grill. Very easy to unhook the grill propane tank and hook up the water heater. It is not permanently attached so that I can put it away. Easy to use, the propane only burns when you are actually running water, otherwise it shuts off so no waste of propane. Yesterday we washed four different dogs (they all were covered in mud!) and it was great having warm water instead of cold straight out of the hose. All in all-so far, a pretty good deal
