We bought this as we were having our bathroom refitted and have no other options. We also bought a small tent which we hang it through. Worked really really well. As long as it’s up very high then gravity kicks in and you get a steady flow. If you fill it with warm water, it does stay warm for the duration of the shower. We decided to keep it afterwards to use on our dogs when they get muddy in the winter.
I’ve had this product a while now,I used it every day for watering veg,fruit and flowers,the shower is fantastic and well up for the job having a constant and even flow and it also holds a high volume of water, but,unfortunately the actual shower head is made of breakable plastic and as you’ve probably guessed I’ve stood on mine and broke it so it’s no loger usable,I’ve not been able to find any online or via camping stores,so I am hoping someone out there will know where I can get a replacement from
Simply placing the bag half filled with water on the roof of the van and with reasonable sunshine it heated to a comfortable temperature, just be realistic, on an overcast day there is no opportunity to harvest heat from the sun so the water temperature will stay ambient.
We took this to Glastonbury festival and left it on the bonnet of our campervan. We used it to have rinse off shower gel rather than have a full shower but we were all pretty pleased with it.
If your in a jam and have no boiler for hot water theses are great. The best way to use them is fill them with a bit of cold water first then boil the kettle and fill them up to suit how hot you want them
Fab product, only downside that I found was the buckle wasn’t able to hold the full weight of the bag. It kept unclipping itself when hung up. Good hardwearing product tho.
On opening the shower bag, we noticed that the pipe with the fitted shower head was creased. We fitted pipe to bag & with finger & thumb tried to undo the crease, but no good. So we filled bag with warm water & opened shower tap & only a trickle of water came out. Very dissatisfied on the pipe condition. Bought a new pipe that doesn’t crease & it worked fine.
It arrived today and I tested it by filling it with lukewarm water as I don’t plan to leave it out the test the solar part. This is the part I’m unsure works as intended. The shower itself worked a treat and I was able to wash his underneath while someone else held the bag up high enough for the water to come out. No leaks or tears so fa
We hung it on an outside hook intended for hanging baskets which was fine, the bag is very heavy when full so make sure you have something strong to hang it on. The shower head can be turned on and off so you don’t waste water while scrubbing.
To fill it there were 2 options, firstly when we didn’t have hot water it took 6 kettles to fill (quarter kettle boiled then topped up to the brim with cold). Option 2 straight from the hot tap – game changer! The kettle method takes a good 20 mins although obviously this is far preferable to leaving the bag in the sun.
All in all a great little product which saved a lot of time and prevented the need for a temporary gym membership!
Positives: easy to use, robust, holds enough water for a decent ladies shower including long hair/condition/full body shave.
Negatives: the temperature indicator didn’t really work (but we didn’t need it to)
Neutral: it has to be hung quite high so that tall people can use it. We ended up buying a small plastic stool so we could sit and shower.
My new shower and bath room will take around 4 days before its ready hence I splashed out a bit more for a better shower bag.
After careful research I needed a luxury version that holds at least 20 l of water and importantly a decent looking shower head piece.
The bag itself looks very high quality and all the joinings and seams are plastic welded to a very good standard.
After reading the instructions I began to look at the pieces that came with the kit.
The clear material with the cut outs for threading the black plastic tube through looked and gave me the impression that its weak. But it actually coped well with a full capacity of water.
I found the final strap through the plastic buckle very hard to attach and sussing out and ended up tying a knot. Once the knot was done I also found out that the soft short tube wasn’t to be threaded through the plastic tube but rather through the hollow rubber handle piece. I don’t remember any mention if this in the instruction sheet which could do with updating.
The clear large tubing with the lovely and decent sized shower head was exactly how I wanted it to be. The tube end was cut jagged so I cut it straight to ensure a tight and good fit onto the water exiting pipe.
The instructions didn’t mention specifically and importantly to install the clear tubing/shower head with valve turned off before filling with water.
I learned the hard way as I filled up and wondered why my feet were wet?
The temperature monitor strip on the back of the bag is handy to check the water temperature.
Because I’m using it in my backyard during the refurb I can for example fill it half or more with cold water and then top up with some hot water. But don’t pour hot or boiled water into the bag first because it may melt the bag plus its could scald you. Do so at your own risk.
I’ve had two nights worth of a fantastic outdoor shower experience and I am very happy with this solar shower bag.
Thank you!
