The Ivation Portable Handheld Shower is a unique, reservoirless option which requires a separate water source such as a bucket, sink, or lake in order to operate in exchange for its awesome portability.
This minimalist unit simply consists of a rechargeable battery powered pump, a 6.5 hose, and a shower head. Operation is as easy as placing the pump on one end of the hose into your water source, and then turning on the shower head.
The 2200mAh rechargeable battery provides up to one hour of continuous use, so although this option does require power to operate, you can score quite a few showers off of one charge.
While utilizing a separate water source might seem frustrating, there are certainly scenarios in which you’ll find it’s in fact quite convenient. It all depends on the context of your campout, so carefully consider the pros and cons of a reservoirless system such as this before purchasing.
Offering a 0.66 gal per minute flow rate, the Ivation Shower provides modest, but ample water pressure for showering, cleaning dishes, dog washes and more. That being said, there are certainly higher pressurized options available if you’re seeking a unit with some noticeable oomph. Go with a camp shower featuring a foot pump or motorized pump if water pressure is important to you.
Including a suction cup for attachment to most flat surfaces and an S-hook for easy hanging, the Iviation shower can be conveniently used hands-free. There is no added heat or solar-warming reservoir however, so your water temp will be unaltered.
Designed to be both highly affordable and portable, this is a wonderfully practical option for the right type of camper.
