has anyone tried this, i used to use two of the
pump to pressurize plastic sprayers to wash my bicycle at work

seems to me the 10 liter or 20 liter might work as a handshower with a 'sink shower'/rinser handle?

--on edit--
already made (at least in a 5 litre 3 minute shower time version)

if the numbers run right then a 10 L would be approx 6 minutes and a 20 L would be 12 minutes

1. Great idea

I like the way you thing outside the box. I can see this for camping and those in tiny houses. I'm kind of spoiled and would like to combine one with hot or warm water and a cold one

2. hot and cold?

igloo water holders with a modified dip heater(12v?)
the ones they strap outside in the south

gonna assume that 6 gallons of hot(almost boiling) water will heat 15 gals cold to point of ouch

the other alternate would be, insulate it, drop a heater in it and modify the heater to thermostat 'not scalding'
prob more work but more luxurious

3. You can also wrap it in...

Black duct tape or in a black garbage bag & leave in sun & the water will get very hot. Very good if completely off grid & no battery power especially camping.

4. or for $10 you could pick up a solar heated gravity powered camping shower

5. Sounds better than a gravity fed solar shower, actually.

I can see it using water more efficiently to do the same amount of work: finer spray under a bit of pressure and with a positive control trigger.

And, painted black or in a black container, this would heat up nicely in the sun!

6. that was my thought

and in my research i did find it (overpriced as all out)
http://www.campnet.se/cover/fullpost.asp?artID=2558&avdID=125&sida=1
about $60-70...be cheaper to make own one

page says it has 3 minute shower time on 5 liters...i'd probably go bigger (10-20 liter..i used a 10 + a 20 to hose down my mountainbike once upon a time where the 10 had simplegreen+water and the 20 had water)

and for me..solar warming is only an option in summer (northern areas)


will also edit main article to add link i found
glad you like the idea
