Questions & Answers

In what amount of time does the water heat up? What should we use to hang it on? Also, any ideas for something small that we could use?

In the case of strong sunlight, the sun does not shine for The heat will be so intense that you will almost have to keep your cool. Even after being left out in the sun overnight, the water was still quite warm the next morning in the Colorado desert. As a general rule, I hang my clothes on trees with strong branches.

Is this going to take up a lot of space ?

A book or an iPad takes up about the same amount of space.

Can you tell me how long the hose is?

About 15" is the length of the hose. This is really too short to be practical for most people, since it needs to be raised properly for you * I got it as a "dog rinse" after being at the beach it is completely useless I got it instead of detergent It's "off". The solar heating does not work because the temperature is not accurate. The bag of water with a spout is just a simple container of water. If you're thinking about buying, think twice.

If I camp in the desert where there is a shortage of water, I will use this to wash dishes. Would it be possible to adjust the flow of water so that it is slowed ?

By controlling the flow rate with the head/nozzle, the flow can be controlled. The end of the road is "high," but the not so far end The control you have is not precise, so you don't have total control. In this way, the water can get warm enough to take a shower, but it cannot get so hot that it can be sanitized. (Sure, in the desert it might be

This will heat the water up so that it won't be cold when it's done
5/5

The price difference between the two is worth it over the cheaper As to the quality, I have used it a few times and it's a sturdy unit with a thick plastic handle. There is enough heat in the unit to keep the water from being Although some reviews warn it may become hot enough to burn, that was not the case for me. The following is the September 2018 edition We are still working on it. The tube does not have any leaks or holes in it. When it is not in use, I keep it out of the direct sunlight.

The bag is good, but the valve is As long as our van has a lift gate, the bag works fine
3/5

My last step is to secure the handle around the rear window wiper motor and prop the lift gate up with a dowel. With 5 gallons of water on the lift gate, the dowel is likely to need augmenting, and I can then You can still use the value if you wash your hands with soap first! If you wish to conserve water while taking a shower, you won't have to worry about it sliding up and down. My solution was to go to a hardware store, find a 1/2" metal valve with a handle, cut the tube an inch above the slider valve that is included in the bag, and insert a 1/2" metal valve into the tube. This is a great fix for a cheap price. There is no need for hose clamps. The plumbing department offers this product. There is an ACE Hardware near me. Additionally, we found a set of 4 12" square rubber patio tiles at Costco for our patio and took them camping with us. In order to stand on them, we get into and out of the van, bathe, and get in and out of the shower. Their easy cleaning and drying make them an ideal choice.

A solar-powered boat is the only one of its kind To use the shower bag, we need to have electricity
4/5

A solar-powered system is used by our organization A powered shower bag for four As we use the products for 5 months out of the year, we believe we are familiar with them. Despite its flaws, this is the best. We travel our slide-in pickup camper to all of our public lands in the fall and winter, camping and hiking in places where no one else is While showers are obviously necessary, using the shower in our camper takes a lot of water (which limits how long we can stay out) and propane to heat (which also limits how long we can stay If we now want to take a shower outside, we can use about a gallon of water, and we can use the sun to heat your The two of you can get really clean with very little water when there is only two of you. There are others, like the ones sold by Coleman, but this one is the best. I wouldn't even suggest trying them. These are cheaper due to their low price. What makes this thing good, and it is a true advantage, is the way the plug is attached. Snapping it in place is not an option. It screws in place instead. It does not leak as a result. It's the lack of a 5-star review that keeps it from being ranked higher What are you? There is a tendency for the nozzle There is no such thing as an earth-born virus Although this is a life-shattering problem, it still would be better if it didn't happen. A bag that we had began to tear on the inside. We had no choice but to throw it away. We give heavy use to these, but remember to respect them. In addition to our two traveling companions, we often bring an additional pet. With only a little bit of sun each day, it gets hot enough for a shower. We have to pour cold water into it if the day is extremely warm and there is a lot of sun. When it's so hot, it feels like a sauna. The great news is that we are all satisfied (to our delight).

Tropical Storm Matthew is a lifesaver
5/5

We have been living in our 5th wheel camper without water hookups because recent weather systems have forced us to rely on friends for showers. I decided to take a chance on this product in hopes of not having to constantly ask people to shower. We have been very pleased with the product so far! At 11am today, we left the product outside in 81° weather with nearly no clouds. After filling the bladder with 5 gallons of cold water from the tap, the product was left outside for two hours. The thermometer on board read 104° when it was used at 6pm, a value that stayed the same until 2 pm, 3 hours later. This was a comfortable experience using the water as there was enough pressure and plenty of heat. It is evident that the summer shower is gravity fed, so one must be realistic about what is to be expected.
On the whole, we have been satisfied with the product and would recommend it. It was a lifesaver for me to have this shower nearby every day for over 3 weeks with no issues. This was a comprehensive emergency item. I would recommend this to anyone in need of a shower.

We are the best in the business
5/5

This is something I buy for all of my boats and have reviewed it before. There is no doubt that the company offers the best service. Despite this, however. I think they can be made better. A part of the spout will eventually fall If they came with a replacement spout, that would be great. Additionally, it will be easier to clean them if you make it easier. After a while, mildew will accumulate and it will be a problem to remove. Last but not least, I had to replace a clip that holds the top in place. Therefore, if you are able to provide replacement parts for this, even better would be. They are used every day by me. It's normal for the bag to show some signs of wear. Other ones have failed to capture my attention, but these do.

I am very pleased with the results! A great idea, until it was stolen! You might want to take note of these when they're out in the sun
4/5

We used it on a 5 week long van trip and it was moved countless times and then it was stolen at the end. It got as hot as 106F in 80 degree weather while I was at work. A temperature of 106F is just like a normal shower, anything above 90F feels fine. Although the handle and the adjustments could be improved, the product worked great. It might be nice to have a clip to hold the head when There was a broken mirror included, and it was not a big deal since we never used it in the first place. Despite the fact that it may be able to get a hole easily, it survived a 6 foot drop to concrete with water inside. It is possible to take a shower with about a gallon of water comfortably if you are very diligent about conserving water. A 5-gallon shower gave my wife ample time to wash her hair and take a "long" shower.

Great invention, what a great idea! As you might already know, It happens often during the summer that the water is turned off by the city
5/5

When this happens, I have been trying to figure out how to shower at the same time. BAM! I came across Amazon and I was immediately sucked in! This gadget really caught my attention! Reviews are fun to read! You are right, it works great. I also find the pressure to be pretty good! It smells soooo good. I haven't washed my hair with it yet, just a quick wash off shower, and man oh man did it make me happy. I love it, and the box it came in from Amazon makes a great present! I love it! You'll definitely need one if you go camping or live in a place where the water is turned off suddenly, you just need to fill it up and Bam, you're ready to go! No worries about running out of water in the middle of the day.
