2 out of 5 stars water did not heat up   July 16, 2010

i bought this camp shower for a week long canoe trip to the boundary waters. The shower worked great, but the water never heated up despite being in partial sun all day. Maybe it will work great if in full sun, but you cant predict the weather. i ended up boiling water and adding it to the bag and that worked good.

The product arrived on time. Since I needed this item for a camping trip I tried to follow up for shipping information with the manufacturer on repeated occasions and did not receive a reply. The item was received with a permanently crimped water tube due to poor packaging. Since I had to take it on a trip to Canada I could not return it, so I patched it with tubing and duct tape. I would never buy from this manufacturer again.

We have three of these, and are ordering more. They are small enough to pick up and move easily. The five gallon ones are too heavy when full for me to handle easily.

We have used these exclusively for our hot water usage - all last summer, and now starting a second season. I use them for everything - showering, dishes, clothes, everything. Daily, regular use.

One is plenty for a shower, and if I want to shampoo as well, I simply use a second one.

We did have one that got a hole in it, but we taped it and it's fine now. And we have one that has started to split on the side - the back pulling away from the main part of the reservoir, but not in such a way that it's leaking. We have learned to keep a large thin cloth spread out on the deck, so that when we lay these in the sun, they are resting on cloth, to help extend their useful lives.

This is a very economical way to experiment with solar water heating.



4 out of 5 stars pretty nice, maybe the best   June 2, 2009

Well, fairly impressed, small, after filling it, hanging it up and letting her rip, had a constant stream for close to 5 minutes, pretty decent. As another reviewer noted, the outlet hose is kinked at the junction with the bag, looks like at manufacturing, they just folded the hose over to make the 90 degree angle, and decided to live with the kink. Good news is that is seems able to handle it, so I don't expect it to fail, but a little heat and a slightly better manufacturing process could have avoided that, but probably would have raised the price. Also the clocking on the outlet hose is not as pictured, mine runs down and to the right, but they were smart enough to put a velcro loop on both sides, presumably to accommodate that, but again there seems no consistency in manufacturing. Otherwise it works great, has a thermometer on the back of it, when the outlet is closed it doesn't leak, I am very pleased with it.

This shower holds less than 2 gallons of water and will run for just under 2 minutes. It is fine for me but my wife would never get her hair rinsed with it. I had their 5 gallon model before and they are both made better than some of the other models I have tried.
