Portable, collapsable no electricity or water pressure required shower !

This was custom build as a xmas present for a small off-grid home that has no power to spare and no water pressure. It is a prototype so could easily look much better.

It could easily be adapted for camping or as a permanent setup in a cabin or off-grid home and would work and look even better.

My solution is a solar shower bag holds 5 gals. of water and costs $10.00.

@cherylynnej1 I have one of those. Although fine for camping, there's not much water flow. Also, since they heat the water on a wood stove they'd have to transfer the water from a pot to that shower bag.

i want one of these. do you wanna make me one and i will buy it from you?

[DigitalMind66]

@pccalumni Haha ... it was surprisingly expensive to put together. The pump (which is the most expensive part) cost over $100 ! :) It's not really worth it to have something like this unless you're in the same kind of situation as my sister was. (an off-grid home with no running water and very little electricity) If you REALLY wanna get your own, I can help you track down the right parts and I've got lots of idea's to make this shower much better. Why do you want one ?!

hmmm maybe you should try to figure out how to put in a foot pump to pump the water. kind of hard to take a shower when you have to pump the water with one hand!

[DigitalMind66]

@wheelori814 I agree. However it's not bad at all, this way you get all wet., Then wash, then rince. I wasn't able to find a foot pump that could pump the water about 6 ft up vertically.

The idea is great, I think this should be used in cities too, it helps to reduce the water consumption tremendously .. this shower showed be a compulsory item to use in house construction, ofcourse with waterpump assemply.. I loved the idea. I think one day it would be compulsory to use this system as water shortage increases as population grows.

@MNPonyLady

back pack sprayer! yes!!

Was just thinking about my dual purpose foot pump, (for blowing up air beds) but a thing for spraying weeds would be much better!

Nice having an axe laying around the living room.

@biscuitfarmer - thats a good idea !! I have a 5 gallon back pack sprayer - never thought to use it for a camping shower !!

[sohearen]

fantastic!

Would it be cheaper, to use a small solar panel, and a 12/24 volt RV water pump?
