    i purchased one of these with a small 10 gallon kiddie pool for the water. I add a 5 gallon bucket of sun warmed water and then 5 gallons of pump water in the pool then use the shower pump. i put a sock around the pump as an external filter. works fine for me Ii use an old boom microphone stand to prop the shower head on while in use. and when done it all fits inside the kiddie pool for storage.It is stashed away for hurricane season and i hope i don't have to use it this year.

    I went ahead and ordered one of these after watching a review. I then reinforced entire length of the tubing with some strips of gorilla tape starting with the sections of the tubing that were prone to thinking when it was rolled up and stowed. I then incased the tubing with some flexible wire conduit to further increase its durability. It should last a while now and it works well. Thanks for the demo!

    I came here looking for actual demo of water flow. I intend to use it to wash off my boat’s anchor after pulling it up from muddy waters. I like this model because it is all integrated. Some of the other ones have a separate power pack and an extra cord to manage. This one can easily be deployed and then coiled back up for storage in the anchor locker for next time. Thanks for the review.

    Depending on pressure and runtime, it seems handy for any place where you might want to transfer water. Food crop irrigation, flood water removal, Sawyer Squeeze filters, solution injection into water supply, ...etc. (and taking a shower even...lol) Basically an answer to the SAWC of carrying a bilge pump and 12v battery. But light weight, durable, inexpensive...pick two only. Lol.

    I have this exact model, but with different branding (even down to the little bit of thread/string attached to the plug lol). It works well enough, just put it in a big pot and mix the hot and cold water to preference, then let it go.
    One little bonus is that it has LEDs that show the charging status of the battery unit in the shower (blue = charging, red = fully charged). I've used it quite a few times now and had no issues with it.
    Dependent on how big your water vessel is, and the shape of it (narrow tall ones seem to be better than wide shallow ones), I recommend using it to rinse the body, stop it, and lather up, then power it on again to rinse off (not due to battery power, but due to the flow rate it has, it empties a big soup style pot, around 18 litres or so in minutes).
    Anyway, I previously used one of those hand powered pressurised showers (www.clasohlson.com/uk/Hozelock-Camping-Shower/40-6912) and much prefer the electrical one over this.
    I would agree with you that it needs to be ruggedised a wee bit and the switch put on the head. Other than that it seems solid enough for what I've used it for.

    Idea - take along a tough trash bag. Dig a hole in ground use trash bag as a liner. Fill hole with trash bag and water. Then use large lightweight pot to heat water using camp stove or ground fire. Repeat heating water from trash bag filled with water using water from the hole you filled. It only takes about ten minutes to heat up about 10 gallons from the hole of water. Heat water dump in hole, reheat, dump, reheat dump, get it? Then put pump in water. You will have tons of HOT water this way!

I’m gonna order it for them so at least they can wash up relaxed with this and their boiled pots of warm water 🚿.. I’ve offered them to use my shower at my place, but they are shy I guess .. lol 😆 so they’ve been using the hose outside. 😔

    @bartjuhh93 Před 5 lety +1

    Careful with reviews from CZcamsrs people. This is sponsored and the manufacturer gives a better variant to the CZcamsr. Yes, that's how scumbaggy they are. (think as in a better pump to increase flow, build 10, send to CZcamsrs and voila) There are over 20 different brands and companies who sell these showers in different colors, all from the same factory in China.
    It's not durable, as in multi season use. I've read half a dozen, non-sellout reviews like in this video, and they all said it broke/something melted within 6 months. This is dynamic though as you might get lucky, some last forever, some break first use. As always, most stuff from china is always a gamble.

    I'm not sure it would be too useful. It would take up quite a bit of space in your camping supplies and it is more of a luxury. At home the garden hose with a spray adapter works just fine so I can't see where it would be useful. I suppose if there is somewhere your hose won't reach, then this might be a plant watering option [however, a watering can works just fine].

      @@maxgoldbloom1229 The correct word to use, at least in the scenarios encountered in this video, is saw. As in... "I first saw these". It seems the majority of folks were never taught the proper usage of seen and saw.
      It's similar to people typing that they "should of" instead of "should have."
      And to take it a step further, people that type out "it was better then" as opposed to the correct "it was better than." Then and than sound similar, but are not interchangeable.
      Seen and saw is spoken and has the ability to be said and typed incorrectly, as opposed to just being incorrect in print.
      And to folks that know the correct usage of seen and saw, it is one of the most irritating things to hear being used improperly!!

      I think saying that you saw is wrong, because a saw is a tool used to cut wood

      teakertownbittersweet you notice they show the flow is down, charged it's no hour, more like 10min. Oh it might dribble for an hour. It does squirt water, I'll bet anyone who says it's great, just felt stupid buying it.
      and ha, it's not waterproof, so any moisture that gets in the charge point and it's fried. He transfers water across 2 trays, not much pressure is needed to do that. The idea of a portable pump is great, but power to do so isn't small.
      I ended up with a pressurized 'HELIO' it heats the water and is pumped with air. At $100 it's pricey but hasn't failed, it's light and well made. Stows easy. If you camp or hike, splashing or pouring water, or even a quick dip in the lake, stream or rivers happens. As for emergencies, to do what ? And to transfer gas ?
      There are also pressurized systems using long black aluminum pipes that attach to van roofs or a roof rack their a few hundred, but heat too, and the pressure is real 'hose it down' and is 10 gallons or more.
      Portable; what are your needs and for how long, and how much you can spend. And how dirty stinky do you think you're going to get, using this to wash dishes or anything else is foolish. Carrying it hiking would bring laughs. Think about what it really does. Good luck, and have a super summer.
