Description
Unlike gravity camp showers that need to be hung overhead and produce dismal water pressure, the award-winning Helio portable pressurized shower and sprayer rests on the ground and provides the pressure you need to wash hair, do the dishes, rinse off gear, water your plants, or wash the dog.
You can quickly and easily pressurize the 2.9-gallon tank with a foot pump – and with occasional pumps you can keep it fully pressurized for 5-7 minutes of strong, continuous spray. The tank cannot be over-inflated. Set the black tank in the sun to warm up gradually, or fill it directly with hot water for a warm shower.
- Generous 2.9-gallon / 11-liter capacity.
- 7-foot neoprene sprayer hose with spray nozzle is long enough to hold overhead for a shower.
- No need to hang, sits securely on the ground and is pressurized by foot pump.
- Refill anywhere; no hose required.
- 5-7 minutes of continuous, steady water pressure.
- Warm in the sun or fill directly with hot water for a hot shower or dirty dishes.
- Compact ventilated carrying case stows tank, hose, nozzle, and pump neatly.
- Precise folding panel design allows for lightning-fast set up and an even smaller packed size.

Great portable shower
We brought ours (a vertical model) on a cross-country camping trip in 2019. It worked well and was great in the hot canyons of Utah, warmed up fast when set in the sun, and made the day a lot better. We used it a number of times en route for washing hair and hands, and for several showers while away...

Absolute Garbage
Pump the thing forever and it dribbles out. The handle head actually came glued on crooked. I could take a three mil bag and poke holes after hanging in a tree for a better shower. You have to hold it while you pump it because it falls over it's own feet. [(feet not shown in pic) nothing like p...

Broke on second use

We received this shower as a gift and thought it would be the perfect addition to our Namibian camping equipment. While the concept is good the quality is not. The hang strap broke the first time we used it and the seam near the fill cap busted on the second use and the shower no longer holds pressure. its basically just an expensive sack of water now. We live overseas and this product will be impossible to return.

Perfect. Ruptures in local big water pipes caused several days without running water for about half a million people in western Puerto Rico. Helio pressure shower served my household very well. Also, it was delivered to us in a very short time.
Good concept, terrible nozzle!

I bought this shower prior to my last camping trip. The vessel pressurised well however the diameter of the flow from the nozzle made the whole event comical. I'm a big guy and trying to have a Shower with a jet of water only 1.5cm wide is underwhelming. Can NEMO please look into selling a wide spray Shower head so as I don't have to but a different unit

Great boat shower

After two summers of cruising use on our boat, we remain very happy with the Nemo (the larger stand-up Helio) — and especially happy with the company which replaced a broken nozzle (breakage was our fault) no questions asked and no charge. While the fill cap can be a bit difficult to close, the closure is tight and stays closed under pressure — works well. The shower is much easier to use than the old hang-up solar showers — it heats and holds enough water for two showers (one longer one for my wife, shorter one for me). Highly recommend.
Doesn't Work as Advertised

Wouldn't work when the bag was on the ground. Only worked when the bag was level with the nozzle i.e. at head height. Returned the very next day.

LEAKS & GROWS GREEN STUFF INSIDE ~ BLEH
Verified Buyer

Bought this to save some money on heating oil during the summer. The pressure is pretty good, It pumps up ok, but there is always a puddle under it. The main bag does not have a leak so I suspect either the nozzle or the pump bag thingy. Not to mention the inside gets green, bleh. Had to keep washing it out with bleach, not a fan.

I enjoyed the nozzle I thought it sprayed well, however I didn't enjoy when it was time to fill it back up. It is very hard to get the water in it and putting on the lid. Perhaps you can come up with a different design like maybe on the top and do not put a flap on it. Thanks

This item is always in my car! I use it for dog paws, boots, and hands. It's also a great way to meet men! "What's that machine?" "How much does it hold?" "That's pretty cool." I get so many compliments on my Nemo foot pressure shower whenever I use it.
Impossible cap

Very well designed product except for cap to close main container for water. This cap is impossible for my small 74 year old arthritic hands to close so I'm sending the shower back
