Dometic’s GO collection,in 2022, includes the Hydration Water Faucet, which stands out in the car camping-oriented ensemble. It promised to bring home-like water delivery in a simple, compact, and aesthetically pleasing package.
The modern-looking, electronically actuated faucet pairs with the equally svelte 11L Dometic GO Hydration Water Jug. I hauled the GO Hydration Faucet and Water Jug inside a 50L Dometic GO Hard Storage box in the back of my Subaru Outback for over a year.
The faucet filled cycling and climbing water bottles and hydration bladders. I used it to rinse off after dirty mountain bike rides or wash my hands off after messy hot wings at local pubs. It also served running water during car camping outings with my dog, daughter, and climbing partners.
In short: The Dometic GO Hydration Water Faucet delivered water reliably, conveniently, and, I might say, luxuriously. It brought a convenience from home to the back of my car. The electric faucet also brought running water to front-country campsites, making tasks much easier by freeing up a hand. The Dometic GO Hydration Water Faucet earned a permanent spot in my daily driver, which has limited storage space. It has proven its usefulness in my active lifestyle.

Dometic GO Hydration Water Faucet Review
Physical Details
The Dometic GO Hydration Water Faucet looked elegant enough for a modern hotel bathroom but also rugged enough to be on the dirty rear bumper of my car. The 6.7 x 6.1 x 2.7-inch hard plastic faucet head has a magnetic base, so it conveniently stuck to my car’s steel body panels. Dometic includes two thin adhesive metal plates for mounting the faucet elsewhere. I put one on my rear bumper and one on the top of the Hydration Water Jug.
One 23-inch long silicone rubber hose attaches with a quick CPC connector to the Dometic Hydration Water Jug while a touch sensor on top of the faucet body turns the water on and off. To prevent accidents, turning on the water requires a double tap. The faucet also automatically shuts off after 1 minute or 1 L of water delivery.
The faucet has an LED light to illuminate the area underneath the water outlet for low-light or nighttime use.
The Dometic GO Hydration Water Faucet weighs 12.6 ounces and recharges via a micro-USB cable.
It’s one thing for a product to look good enough for a three-star hotel; it has to work well to earn a spot in the cramped confines of my daily driver. I used the GO faucet for a year to gain a solid opinion on its usability and durability.
