Ivation Portable Outdoor Shower, Battery Powered - Compact Handheld Rechargeable Camping Showerhead - Pumps Water from Bucket Into Steady, Gentle Shower Stream

Our tankless water heater exploded the other day. It became evident quickly that the home warranty company is going to drag their feet on a replacement and the unit we'll need for replacement will take a while to get here, so I googled portable shower options. We had considered going do the road to planet fitness and paying for a membership just to shower there. But then, I found this wonderful thing. I couldn't hit buy now quick enough! We just got our unit today. Both my husband and I promptly took showers after only charging the unit for maybe 15 min. Boiled a couple large pots of water on the stove. Put the hot water in a bucket and went to the shower where I added cold water to bring temp to a skin safe temp. Plopped the motor end in to the bucket and took a warm shower! Now was this the most relaxing shower I've ever taken? No! Does this thing have great water pressure? No. Does it work and effectively take hot water from a bucket and make a shower? Yes! I have hair down to my rear. 5 gallons was just barely enough to shampoo and condition and wash my body. Make sure you take caution to not get suds from washing soap/shampoo off into the bucket providing the water. The hanger for the shower head was pretty useless. If you need to put the water down but dont want to waste it, just put the shower head over the side of the bucket so it's going right back in the bucket instead of down the drain. All in all, I highly recommend this if you need a shower in a pinch. It does work great compared to any other portable shower option out there! That being said, here's hoping we don't HAVE to use this much longer. But I'm so glad it was an option!

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. Try it and share it!

Great quality. Battery life is great and shower head works great too

It’s held up pretty well. I will say that there is some things you’ll have to figure out in terms of how to mount it on a wall if you need to. The hook that was included was a bit awkward and difficult to place anywhere. The device it self works great, battery life has been good so far, just make sure you’ve got enough water in your bucket for your needs. I used this in Philippines where we had no running water for the bathroom. We had a collection of water in barrels and I had to pause the device in between shampoo and rinsing just to conserve the water. Pressure is pretty great as well.

Tout d'abord je remercie les acheteurs qui ont répondu à mes questions ou qui donnent des avis utiles. J'ai acheté ce produit pour une utilisation en extérieur et pour ne pas avoir à prendre une douche dans le camping car (cela évite de taper dans le stock d'eau propre, en passant par le boiler à gaz...etc)., quand nous revenons dans la niche après un effort (je pense même m'en servir dans la salle de bain du camping car pour les mêmes raisons). Nous avons toujours un point d'eau à proximité : donc remplissage du seau à linge au point d'eau (toilettes publiques, robinet, fontaine, lac, torrent...), une petite casserole d'eau chaude si c'est trop froid et hop, une douche rapide derrière le fourgon avec notre savon de Marseille (non polluant !), ou dans un endroit discret. Pour le petit fils.... c'est encore plus marrant et sans surveillance, car il peut gérer lui-même, surtout les éclaboussures ! Pas de ménage post douche... Matériel de belle facture. Le tuyau est un peu court pour les grands gabarits.... mais on peut bricoler. Le moteur est bien protégé. La crépine de la pompe est protégée par un cache que l'on peut retirer (clips). Il y a un filtre de protection, pour les gens comme moi qui utilisent de l'eau "sauvage". Par rapport au matériel que je connais, le débit est très correct (une bonne pompe 12v avec un meilleur débit c'est 40/50 € minimum). La grosseur de la pompe empêche une immersion dans un jerrican à grande ouverture. Finalement c'est aussi bien de l'immerger dans un seau, car on a plus facilement accès au bouton interrupteur situé sur le corps de pompe. Je n'ai pas vérifié le temps d'usage, mais je fais largement confiance aux autres précédents utilisateurs qui en disent du bien. Pas de notice in French.... surprise (Europe à deux vitesses ?....), mais bon, il n'y a pas besoin d'avoir fait les grandes écoles pour comprendre le montage et le fonctionnement. C'est juste frustrant.

El articulo esta en condiciones optimas, muy aconsejable para camping etc. facil de transportar a cualquier lado y muy comodo

I didn’t want to spend this much on a portable shower, and was worried it would be flimsy and not very powerful. Boy was I surprised! I bought this to allow me to wash my 42kg Labrador outside in the garden, he is too big to lift into the bath, hates being washed and I have to ferry loads of buckets of warm water to and from the kitchen, as I don’t want to use a cold water garden hose. This shower is a game changer, and makes bi-monthly bath time so much easier. I filled a large garden grid from the cold hosepipe, topped it up with 3 kettles of boiling water - inserted the shower pump and managed to wash and rinse my dog in under 30mins. I didn’t even need that much water, despite using lots of shampoo and giving him a good rinse afterwards. It’s brilliant, and providing the battery life and recharging capabilities work for a good few years - I reckon it’s worth every penny! I did research lots of reviews of outdoor showers before choosing this one - and it got great reviews online and in product tests for camping magazines

Angeliefert wurde die Pumpe mit Aufhängehaken und einem Adapterkabel für den USB-Anschluß. Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist sehr gut. Die Pumpe war schnell in einer halben Stunde aufgeladen. Eine Ladekontrollleuchte ist vorhanden und mit dem Li/Io-Akku sollte es keine Probleme geben. Da hier unterschiedliche USB-Stromquellen möglich sind, schließe ich nicht aus, daß auch längere Ladezeiten möglich sind. Ich habe das Ladegerät meines Samsung- Handys verwendet. Die Dusche ist unkompliziert verwendbar, da keine Kabel für den Betrieb erforderlich sind und alles aus einem Guß ist. Die Leistung der Pumpe ist hoch, so daß auch bei maximaler, durch die Länge des Schlauches bestimmte Füllhöhe ein üppiger Duschstrahl aus dem sehr qualitativ ebenfalls sehr guten Duschkopf kommt. Man kann damit wirklich gut duschen und ist vollkommen unabhängig von allen Stromversorgern. Ungefähr gemessene Pumpenleistung: 1 Liter wird in etwa 17 Sekunden durchgepumpt. Alle anderen von mir getesteten Geräte waren dagegen Müll. Wo viel Licht, da auch etwas Schatten: Da der Einschaltknopf unter Wasser ist, wäre ein im Duschkopf eingebauter Duschstop sehr praktisch. Da es sich um einen Standardanschluß handelt, werde ich mich einen solchen anschaffen und montieren, auch um Wasser zu sparen. Als sehr nachteilig empfinde ich auch das nicht mitgelieferte Netzladegerät. Entweder nutzt man ein vorhandenes oder muß sich ein günstiges zulegen. Auch ein 12V Fahrzeugadapter wird funktionieren. Ich glaube kaum, das die Mehrzahl der Nutzer ihren Laptop zum Aufladen verwenden. Das "Wasserfiltersystem" ist ein Schwamm, der nur grobe Verschmutzungen fernhält. Ein gut entwickeltes Gerät, das auch hoffentlich eine lange Haltbarkeit besitzt.
