About this deal

Unfortunately, for your tankless water heater to operate effectively as an off-grid shower, you will need the following additional components: Water pump The included nozzle works just like a standard hose head. This may be all you need for cleaning gear, rinsing feet, or de-muddying the dog, but it isn't great for an actual shower. For that, you'll probably want the Yakima RoadShower FlexHead, which we also tested, giving you an efficient (if messily close-to-the-car) shower. Also, if you fill at home and leave the pump behind, you'll find the pressure drops precipitously as the tank empties, and refilling that pressure with a short-hosed bike pump is a challenge. These things aside, this is a fabulous option for weekend warriors or anyone constantly on the go. If you need a larger capacity, the RoadShower also comes in 7 and 10-gallon versions. There is a wide range of off-grid shower options which are suited to a similarly wide range of situations. drilling the hole, no problem for you:):) Most common sizes .453 in or .653 in valve stem hole you’ll have to do the fractions and find the right drill bit. with pressures in the 69-100psi or higher, Safety is a must with hydraulic pressure. air is considered a liquid in this area of tools or physics (what have ye) There’s no point investing in a top-to-the-range high-pressure showerhead as it’s unlikely you’ll get the pressure needed for it to operate. A cheaper model that will work effectively with low pressure is a better option.

If you’re dedicated to the off-grid lifestyle or want to prepare for when the SHTF, the best approach could be to use your imagination and elbow grease to create your custom-built off-grid shower. (see here for some rainwater shower options.)The Camplux Pro Series 6L is a reasonably-priced solution for anyone who's always wanted an outdoor shower. This semi-portable unit requires a semi-permanent outdoor setup that includes a secure mount, a large propane tank, a garden hose water inlet line, and two D batteries. Though the initial installation takes time, once ready, this handy little unit instantly converts cold hose water into a range of warm to hot shower temperatures, available at easily adjustable pressures — all finely tuned with two simple knobs. It has a wide shower head that rivals the ones in our bathrooms, three modes that make it just as easy to clean the kids as the dog, and a simple on/off switch right by your hand. We began this study by considering the most important aspects of an outdoor shower. Each year, we carefully select the best we can find and use them for subsequent summers, paying close attention to how well they perform in key areas. To assess functionality, we measured the widths of the showerhead streams and the lengths of the hoses. If possible, we took them apart and cleaned them to examine ease of use, and we dropped them, full of water, from a height of over 6 feet to get a sense of their durability. We bathed ourselves, muddy dogs, and numerous filthy trail-building crews. In the end, the best models revealed themselves and are highlighted below. Hot water can be heated over a fire, using a heavy-duty steel drum, or in your tankless water system. If you want to keep it basic, you can simply pour the heated water into the drum as and when you need it. If you prefer not to clamber up a tree with a gallon of water on your head, however, a solar pump is a worthwhile investment.

Need something a bit more forceful? Remove the scrub and open the valve – you won’t get an all-over spray, but you will get enough pressure to rinse long hair or get the sand out of your swimming shorts.And then, of course, there’s personal preference. Some people really need to feel clean and fresh no matter what, so a camping shower can only be an enhancement, whereas, for some others, that may not be as important – especially if they are out and about in the wild.

The Gasland tankless gas water heater is lightweight enough to use while camping but robust enough to survive daily use in a sustainable living scenario. It requires minimal pressure and will ignite as long as the pressure remains above 2.5 PSI. If you want to shower at night, when no solar is available, install a header tank and use your solar pump to fill it during the day. This should provide you with sufficient gravity-fed pressure to enjoy a warm shower in the evening. Showerhead A gas tankless water heater is probably a better option if you’re living off-grid permanently, however. If water isn’t a problem, however, and you’ve got your pressure figured out, this solar-heated shower from Giantex is a durable, weather-resistant alternative. It will still require sunlight, of course, but its robust base and chrome-plated plastic body make it both hard-wearing and rust-resistant. Just one word of warning – if heating water over a fire, be careful not to melt the pump, the hose, or set your shower tent on fire! #2 The Solar ShowerSo, the end of the world is here but, thankfully, you converted your SUV to run on electricity, which you generate yourself, so you’re still good to go. Ok, it’s a bit far-fetched, but if you are on a road trip and want a simple off-grid shower solution, the road shower is worth a look.

To ignite the burner and push the water through when showering, you need a certain amount of water pressure. You can do this using a solar water pump kit like the one from Solariver.It’s also worth looking at your budget and available storage space for camping gear. Portable showers come in various types, ranging from basic gravity showers to more advanced battery-powered units. Determine what features are right for you and find an option that fits your budget and storage limitations.
