Great option for home shower.. without hoses on the faucet - Another update almost 3 years and still going strong. No worse for wear and in great working order with use 2 to 3 times per week. Still holding a good charge too. UPDATE 1.5 years later: So, still at the house with the iron infused water. I am STILL using this same unit. I use it probably 2-3 times a week. I have to charge it maybe once a month. It is in 100% perfect condition just as I purchased the unit. I don't always use the distilled water, sometimes the water labeled "drinking water" and I have had great results and my highlighted hair stays true to color. My stylist has been amazed at how well my coloring holds up between appointments. I definitely would tell people to buy this shower set up. It would definitely last you through a weekend camping too since I only have to recharge mine about once a month.. or maybe longer. It isn't a huge rush of water, but it does the trick for washing and rinsing my hair and it would be fine for a camp shower. The only thing I could suggest be improved is the shape of the unit. I have to tip the bucket to not lose suction when it gets towards the bottom. If it were sucking from the bottom, maybe with short legs to keep it a bit above the bottom of the bucket, it would be a little easier to use, but that really isn't a huge issue for me. I would not hesitate to tell someone to buy it. I bought this unit because I have a real problem with ferrous iron in my well water. The cost of a treatment system for my water is going to run well over a thousand dollars! The problem is that I also have highlighted hair. Anyone with blond highlights and iron in their water knows the nighmare of bozo orange hair! Not only does the water leave rusty deposits on my hair that impact the color.. even the texture and strength of my hair is compromised. So, I finally decided that I could no longer wash my hair in the well water. It was just flushing money down the drain. Just deciding to not have highlights wouldn't be a good option either.. cause the tinting issue and texture would still happen... just a little less noticeable.. So, I decided to wash my hair with distilled water. The first couple of times I just used a scoop and poured it over my head while I leaned over the bath tub. Dang it was COLD and uncomfortable. Then, I decided to heat the water a little on the stove.. not as cold.. but still uncomfortable and always ended up with water in my ears that took a long time to clear. That's when I saw this. BINGO.. problem solved. I just fill a container with a gallon of warmed distilled water and put it away from the shower stream and can wash my hair. The suction cup stays up great on the shower wall and the spray is gentle but good enough to rinse my hair. I am so glad I got this! Review: INCREDIBLY AMAZING!!! - When my water heater went out 2 weeks ago, I had no choice but to heat water from my electric kettle and a bowl of water in the microwave (both going at the same time). I filled my bath tub halfway with cold water, and the other half with the manually heated water. It took an hour and a half before the tub reached a desirable temperature suitable for bathing. I was so exhausted after making several trips back and forth from the kitchen to the bathroom. I really didn't enjoy my bath because after washing my hair, I was bathing in shampoo water and it felt disgusting and like I wasn't getting myself clean and rinsed off. Well, 2 weeks of this nonsense was driving me crazy!! I thought about going to the Pilot truck stop because I heard they have clean showers set up like a hotel room and you don't have to be a truck driver to use them; you simply pay $7 per shower. But that can add up daily. The next thing that came to mind was to join a gym and just shower up there after a nice workout, but I would have to pay a $60 fee upfront and sign up for auto-payment using my checking account at $20 per month after that. Sounds like a simple solution right? Well, it is if you're not on a tight budget like I am right now. I would love to purchase a new hot water heater, but at $600 tops for the one I need (unit, delivery, installation) it is going to have to remain on my "to do" list a little bit longer. So I decided to do some internet surfing on my favorite desertcart website and searched for portable showers and came across this unit. It sounded wonderful, and I made sure I read the reviews first before purchasing. It received great reviews so I added it to my cart and even paid an extra $10 for same day delivery (to break the madness of not having a clean shower, of course). It arrived about 6 hours later and was very easy to assemble. It comes with a USB cable to charge on your computer, so I plugged it in and headed off to a birthday party. By the time I got home, it was fully charged and ready to give it a "test drive". I used a 5 gal bucket I had purchased at Wal-Mart earlier for $3. It only took me 20 min to heat the bucket compared to 1 1/2 hour. Drop the pump into the water, turn it on, and you get a nice flowing shower. The shower head is actually larger than my current hand-held brand so I am getting more shower water with this one. Not knowing what to expect from this gadget, I kept thinking it would drain my bucket water quickly and I would be stuck wearing soap suds (a cold water rinse was not in the plan). But to my surprise, it slowly drained the water and I had more than enough left over that I just stood there and enjoyed the water (make sure to power off when soaping up). I went to bed a very happy CLEAN camper!! The next day, I bought a second 5 gal bucket with a lid (to hold the water temp in while not in use), a 5 gal solar shower bag ($10). Now before I go to work: 1) I fill the shower bag in the morning 2) set it directly in the sun 3) fill both buckets half full from the faucet so it reaches room temp by the time I get home. I get home and empty the shower bag into both buckets (both filled to the rim). The water is really warm from sitting in the sun all day (8.5 hrs). I put the lid on the second bucket until ready to use. Shower with the first bucket, remove lid from second and wash hair. I don't run out of water this way because I have long hair and it takes longer to rinse shampoo. I hope this was helpful.

Need to shut it off with about a gallon still in the bucket or the pump will be above water. So I timed four gallons of water and that took 160 seconds. About 2 1/2 minutes. **Q: How long is the hose from the pump to the shower handle** A: I think it's about 7 feet, which was perfect for putting the pump part into a water bucket and hanging the showerhead above us in the shower tent. It's simplicity is what makes it so efficient for us. **Q: Is the showerhead replaceble? I'd like to use this camco with it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00192KYFO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&ps** A: I wouldn't recommend it unless the manufacturer confirms that the pump has an internal pressure relief arrangement. It looks to be a diaphragm type positive displacement pump, similar to an aquarium air pump, working via a solenoid-operated piston moving a diaphragm back and forth. The diaphragm forms part of a chamber, which increases and decreases in size as the piston moves. There would be a non-return valve (probably a spring-assisted ball check valve) on both the chamber inlet and the chamber outlet. The diaphragm pump design allows complete separation of the working machinery from the pumped fluid, and they are generally designed so that the process fluid (water in this case) is not necessary for bearing lubrication or motor cooling. Being a positive displacement pump, it would move the same amount of water regardless of the back pressure it is pumping against. This means that if the pump is running and the hose outlet is closed with a valve on the shower head, the water still has to go somewhere, so the weakest point will fail (leak), e.g. the sealing gasket, the hose, or the pump diaphragm. If the weakest point happened to be the shower head immediately upstream of the valve, shrapnel from the resultant explosion, or being struck by the flailing hose, particularly if fitted with a metal ferrule or fitting, could cause a serious injury.The manufacturer would have assumed that the switch on the pump would be within reach during use, since the hose to the shower head is only 6.5' long. Incorporating a switch on the shower head would add significant cost, utility, and reliability issues to the product. It would require an electrical switch, an electrical cable along the length of the hose, which would be stiffened by the armour required to protect the cable from mechanical damage, and two cable glands (seals): one in the pump housing, and one in the shower head. **Q: anybody know where you can get a 12v adapter for this unit?** A: Did you find the 12v adapter for the shower ? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another update 3 years Updated 18 months later: still going strong.

Thank you for taking time to read!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saved our skins during our last camping trip; would highly recommend! *by S***E on August 25, 2016* I bought this for camping; to shower, clean boots, etc. It worked BRILLIANTLY! Our last camping trip was a four-day regional burning man event with no showers or even running water--in late May in Texas and it rained every day--so you can just imagine the heat, humidity, and mud. I don't know how we would have made it without this shower. We set it up out back of our camp with a five gallon bucket and our washcloths and towels, and used the bucket lid as an impromptu mat to stand on. It worked GREAT for showering and washing hair, and during the heat of the days we could easily grab a quick cold rinse-off to keep from frikken passing out in the heat and humidity. For a warm shower we added hot water heated on our camping stove. At some point we realized we didn't pack the USB charging cable and figured we'd be SOL after a couple of days of use, but the doggone thing held a charge the whole time, only getting truly feeble the afternoon of the last day while we were packing up to leave. We were really surprised at that and SO thankful! Great purchase and I'd highly recommend. One side-note: Part of why we were so surprised at the battery's longevity is that we used this shower so frequently every day... not just to shower and keep cool but to follow a protocol to protect us from poison ivy. The entire festival site for this event is plagued with poison ivy and it's a huge annual issue for most participants. I want to share the protocol we've found because it's so effective. As many people know, the urushiol oil in poison ivy is what gets you. The oil is sticky and like other oils is waterproof and quite resistant to washing off, even with warm water and soap. What most people don't know is that the oil needs 2-3 hours to penetrate your skin and set off a reaction, so if you can get it off you before then you're in the clear. A good degreasing soap (we use Dawn dishwashing soap) does the trick, but here's the common problem people have: scrubbing with your hands, even really vigorously, leaves traces of oil behind. The webs between fingers/toes and the backsides of forearms are notorious spots... t's crazy how many poison ivy rashes begin on the back of a forearm because folks thought they washed up well but didn't scrub the backs of their arms enough. The fix is to use a washcloth to scrub up, and it WORKS. We got stuck having to set up in a spot RIDDLED with poison ivy on the ground and with this protocol of washing up regularly, using Dawn dishwashing soap and a washcloth, we avoided any outbreaks. We each had our own washcloth and rinsed them thoroughly after each use. We're both very sensitive to poison ivy and get TERRIBLE rashes from it, so our success with this protocol is a Big Deal with a capital B and a capital D.
