Helio™ Portable Pressure Shower

A camp shower that works flat on the ground changes the game. This pressurized system uses a foot pump to build flow, so you never need to hoist a bladder into a tree or wait for gravity to do its job. The 2.9-gallon tank sits upright, you pump it a few times, and a seven-foot neoprene hose delivers steady spray for five to seven minutes—long enough for a rinse, a scrub, or a sink full of dishes.

The two-stage nozzle switches between manual trigger and continuous flow. Use the trigger for quick bursts when you're cleaning sandy feet or muddy boots. Lock it to continuous mode when you need both hands free for soap or shampoo. The hose is long enough to reach over your head without gymnastics, and the nozzle holder on compatible privacy shelters keeps it in place for a true hands-free shower.

Filling is straightforward. A wide screw cap at the top of the tank opens for pouring, then seals tight. The same large opening makes it easy to dry the interior completely between trips or scrub out any buildup. The tank cannot be over-pressurized, so you can add a few pumps mid-use if flow starts to drop without worrying about blowing a seal.

The foot pump and hose nest under the base when packed, and the whole unit folds small enough to stash in a car trunk or camp bin. A padded handle on the tank makes it comfortable to carry full, whether you're hauling water from a spigot or a creek. This is the shower that lives in the vehicle year-round: ready for beach days, trail runs, dog park visits, and any other time you need running water where there is none.
