That was awesome
Awesome set up. Just an idea If you put the battery in the pocket with the charger it won't get wet when you put the hose away.
what is the black part you use for the electrical cable?
@@in.6890 If you were looking at what I was, it's a waterproof grommet. Now I'm trying to find the correct size.
Paint the can black and set it out in the sunlight full and in the evening have a warm shower. Great build.
Those water cans come in black as well. We used them in the Canadian Army.
@@zrig1 Reminds me of the time, back in the 2nd of the 2nd....we were fighting for this strip of land with water on both sides, when the enemy came over the hill and attacked our position. I remembered this trick I learned on youtube and quickly built a black jerry can which I filled with water and heated in the sun then squirted him/her right in the tush!! Well the surprised look on his/her face was worth the price of all the parts I had to purchase to built the thing.
@@zrig1 Used to could find the 2.5 gallon in black but not anymore.
@Justnn plastic is everywhere, can't escape it.
That works, in sunny areas only.
I’ve lived off-grid the last two years while I build my house. Also, I’m self employed and drive my truck w/an Alu Cab camper on the back all over the country for about 4-6 months each year. At home & on the road I’ve been using a 2 gallon plastic weed sprayer that works by hand pumping to pressurize the canister. I just heat up some water, pump it about 8-9 times, and I’ve got a great shower, hot or cool as I want it. I’ve got a little pack on it like the example in this video, and it holds a razor, soap, everything I might need while taking a shower. I’m able to use it right next to the truck, take it down to a stream, wherever. I love it. I’ve used the current one for 2 years. I leave it outside when I’m at home. Abused it. For $30, and as bulletproof as it’s been, I can’t imagine changing things up. Not to dog on this build, because it’s a great idea, but the fewer parts the better, in my opinion. YMMV! 👍🏼🙏🏼
Right on! I've been using a similar set up to yours for 7 or 8 years for camping. I replaced the weed sprayer wand with a sink sprayer and use it for showers and washing up dishes. It did randomly quit working on one trip. It had just gotten too much dirt/sand in it over the years of desert camping and the o-rings wouldn't seal when I tired pumping it. I got home, cleaned everything out, and greased the o-rings. It's been working great since. A bag to hold the soap and stuff is a good idea! I think I'll add one to mine too.
I agree, I have a pump action weed sprayer, which is amazing
I don't have as much room, so use a collapsable bucket with a $30 USB pump/shower head.
I'd be afraid the weed killer would affect my hair growth.
I did the same thing about 10 years ago. Just bought a pesticide pump sprayer thing, connected a small shower head onto it, and done. I also painted it black so that it would warm up in the sun for showers.
I can tell the different channels you got your ideas from. I too used the exact same parts, except the bag. I love the storage bag. I chose to use the cap for all my through holes. The wiring grommet I just pipe tapped the plastic and screwed in the grommet. I secured it with a small drop of epoxy, but if you're worried about chemicals in the water you could also use a dab of plumbing safe silicone sealant. I chose to only modify the cap because the cap can be replaced by purchasing it separately if I want to make changes, or I want to quickly convert it back to a simple water tank without the pump system.
Nicely done. Love all your builds.
I’ve tried several variations of this water tank, from a Schrader valve with a hand pump to electric air pump. I went this route but chose to run the electrical wiring through the lid with a 2 way switch. I preferred it is way so I can unscrew the lid and everything pulls out at once. When I have to fill it up with water it was easier for me since I carry it from the campsite to the provide water source. With the 5.2gpm pump it would spray 24’ and took ~3 minutes to empty tank. Thanks for the help!
Good build, the only thing I would do differently if I made one would be to run the wires through the cap too, no extra holes in the can, and could restore to normal with a new cap.
I bought a 5 pack of the Scepter cans and one leaks at the neck. Scepter is replacing it but doesn't need the defective one back, I'm going to make this with it.
(It leaks when laying on the side, won't affect using it like this, just can't transport full and laying down)
On doing a bunch of testing, you are losing a ton of pressure by using the expandable hose. Switch to a short normal one and you will gain about 3x the pressure.
What kind.
I don't think it will matter if it is really short, but maybe you are right, but it seemed good enough and the store away of the flex hose is probably worth it.
That will absolutely not matter at all. The expanding hose only reacts to static pressure. You don't "lose pressure" when it expands if anything it "stores pressure" like an accumulator but the reason he doesn't have great pressure is the pump pure and simple.
Great build but if you used a black Gerry can you could have a warm shower from leaving it in the sun. Greetings from New Zealand
Thank you! I think it would still warm it fairly well either way but not quite as well as a black one.
I had the same thoughts watching. Could
Paint it, Black 4.0 or similar.
I would also be tempted to put some open celled foam blocks into the canister with a hole made to take the pump. This will stop the pump moving about and retain orientation.
I like your spin on it with the attached bag. I built one of these a while back; do yourself a favor and ditch that battery pack. I've already gone through three of them. They don't last very long and are very temperamental. I upgraded to one of the emergency jumpstart booster packs and get a lot more voltage and hence a lot better flow, they last longer and are very rugged.
I'm not crazy about the idea of running the wire out of the back, but I also use a lot more water when I use this setup. I like having everything built into the lid so that you can just move the pump to another jerry can when one runs dry.
Excellent tutorial, keep up the good work. ✌🏻
Thanks for the comment! Yeah I don’t doubt that. That I’m also notorious for not charging everything I need that why I included the car power supply. Yeah being able to swap cans would be nice although I just have the one. You definitely have to think through what’s going to work for you individually.
I noticed when I plugged it into my 100w solar panel I get waayy more pressure. I think it put out 20volts. Wasn’t sure if it would burn up the motor doing that.
@@PatrickRemington depends on the rating of the pump. Most of these small pumps have variable ratings. The one I have says it's good for 18-4v. The car jump starter I have is advertised as 12 volts but actually puts out 14.1 volts when put on a voltmeter. 🤷🏼♂️
I like the bag idea. Keeps things tidy. You do open the vent when the pump is on I hope. You don’t want to create a vacuum in the can.
@@marceld6061yes, opening the vent is mandatory. That pump will only go for a minute or two before it can't overcome the vacuum it creates.
@The_Channel_Of_Chad what emergency jump start pack are you using? Hard to find one with a DC jack
I beach fished a lot. When my girls were younger I put an RV tank with a pump in the truck. No more sand in the pants, no more can we go home now LOL.
Haha Nice!
Swapping the male to male fitting with a quick disconnect would make it much easier/faster to set up/break down. Also plumbing a clear tubing with 90° fittings on the tank from top to bottom would allow you to see the fluid level before you run out of water.
you lift much?
Thats good, but it creates a point of failure if the bottom of the container gets knocked you'll lose all of the water. The version i did personally just uses a similar water container but its transparent blue plastic. Can easily see the water level and theres no unnecessary holes or plumbing on it to leak, and it still slides into a regular jerry can holder
You could put a microwave on the side, too and make dinner while showering.
The best portable shower that I have seen.
Great setup. Using an expanding hose will cause loss of pressure since it's trying to inflate the hose. Try a different hose and am sure you will see the pressure go up.
Every build I have seen using the pump inside the secptor water can, they always use the JB weld Plastic adhesive to glue the bulkhead adapter to the cap for the water can. RTV, Silicone, all other rubber type sealants leak at the cap. The JB Weld plastic adhesive is the only thing that doesn’t leak.
Just some food for thought
Thanks for the tip!
Don't think I want JB Weld touching water that might be used to bathe or drink. Silicone is generally food safe.
I just use a weed sprayer with an extended hose and a kitchen water hand-held-sprayer on it.
Great idea. No need for a battery
Hi how much does it cost in total ? What weight ? Thx
Do you have to constantly pump it to maintain water pressure?
you have to manually pump it but it will retain some pressure. Just use water sparingly.@@skysteppes
@skysteppes1017 yes you do have to constantly pump, the wider the outlet the more you would have to pump.
I’ve never seen someone try to build something from scratch and get so lucky at every turn, you just win scratch offs allot lol
I've held off on getting those quick disconnects for a few years because the descriptions were lackluster. If I knew they were both valved and no spill I'd have done it to begin with. I'm a trucker and I use 2 scepter cans interchangeably for water, and a marine 12v pump. Currently I just put a length of 3/8 id flexible hose through the spout and found a hose with a 5/8 od which seals perfectly to the spout with a regular o-ring. This will be so much easier.
thanks ! i use a 3 liter water boiler from my kitchen with a 7 liter garden sprayer works great with solar power for a hot shower
I drive a truck, flatbed, and am usually absolutely filthy by the time I get done securing and tarping my loads. 9 times out of 10 I am out of hours to legally drive and end up having to stay at the customer - filthy - trying to use baby wipes and or bottled water. It works, kinda, but never to my satisfaction.
I am definitely going to try this using a large tote to stand in and a shower curtain suspended from my tall cabinets. This is going to be amazing!
Thanks for posting!
Heck yeah! Glad to help!
I’m going to use this for the Sink and a second one for the shower.
Nice.
Simple. Clean. And Works !
Great idea for sink 💡🤔 🚿 👍
Main issue I see is with the wiring running from the pump to the rear of the container is every time you unscrew the cap to fill with water you are twisting that wiring all around.
I think you would be better off mounting the pump through the can somewhere other than the lid and then taking the cap on and off does not affect the pump, hoses or wiring at all.
This by far seems to be the best camp shower 🚿 and or water 💦 supply. Great detailed video! Great skills and creativity and craftsmanship!! Thank you! 👍💡👌👏👏
Thank you!
I think it's genius! The bag tops it all off. All organized, nothing gets misplaced. Plus, the baby girl got to get muddy, lol...
The hose inside the tank you Should use a PVC type of tubing, that clear plastic hose your using will create mold.
But pvc is not flexible
@@sharriceowens913 It doesn't matter as long as you eliminate the mold!!
Nice DIY.
I have found that those DC power connectors don't hold the cables well. They seem to be always pulling out.
I saved myself a lot of trouble and just bought the Hart Rinser Kit. Uses the same batteries as some of my tools, so it made more sense.
How's the water pressure on the rinse kit? I read some reviews saying it doesn't provide much flow
@@CamaronesFuegos pressure is fine for what I need. Plus I've been perfecting a roof rack mounted water system with pressure switch that will use the built-in air compressor for my rear auto leveling suspension that isn't used after converting to standard shocks, so it's temporary anyways
I was going to do buy one of those...there was a pretty sweet sale that occurred not too long ago but I missed out.
@@CamaronesFuegosI have the Hart sprayer, too. I replaced the included water hose that came with it for an expandable water hose like in this video and it improved the water pressure a little. The water pressure is fine for rinsing things off or showering.
Could also be used for a sink since you are using fresh water too
I built something almost like this, but instead of needing a power source for an electrical pump, I used a bicycle pump to pressurize the jerry can. Works great if two people are there, so one can pump when pressure gets low, or for a quick rinse. I found that with a good pressurization, you can get about two minutes of decent pressure from a can 2/3 full. I found a full can doesn't allow for ample air to be pressurized with just a hand pump. I would also point out I used a metal jerry can. Plastic should work, but you'd want one that is thick, or reinforced to take the pressuring over and over.
I'm going to add your idea with a power pump and keep mine as a backup. I'm not lazy, but I like to work smarter, not harder if I can. The added pump won't add much weight/space anyway.
The constant pressure may prematurely weaken the seams and cause a leak. I just rewired the hose and electrical wire for a 12 volt pump through the smaller cap opening so it can be plugged into a cigarette lighter.
Very cool! 😊 Too bad the pump doesn’t turn on and off by the pressure of the sprayer. Turns on when you pull, then it shuts off when you release the trigger.
Upgrading to the higher capacity pump will run through your water faster. That might not be an issue for you, depending on how you plan to use it. But it is worth considering whether you’ll be able to refill easily or not.
That was a nifty build, including the bag. Picking up everything with one handle saves stuff getting left behind.
Great setup! Just too much stuff for me. I use baby wipes. Can go for 2-3 days until I hotel did. Did continental divide border to border this past July in my 4R.
I was going to do a full on shower in my build but filling/draining the water alone would be a nightmare. Would definitely do something like this as a backup.
Great introduction, well built...
Scepter water can comes in black as well, great for warming the shower water in the sun...
Mr. Remington when I saw you drilling the back side of water can on the seam I was thinking no don't offset to the side at least.
Good on your videos showing that anyone can make their own stuff and don't need to just buy high dollars stuff.
That 'through bulkhead', watertight connector is JUST THE PEICE I’ve been looking for! I want to put a 35 litre (just over 9 US gal) water tank in the side wing on a set of drawers in my 4x4 wagon. I've resisted finishing the project until now so I could get something that I could be sure to get something that would definitely seal. Now to source these things in Australia......
Tip: Add one more quick disconnect to the sprayer/hose. Makes it that much better. Fair warning, you’ll want to add quick disconnects to everything.
I put quick connects on my dog so he wouldn't pee in the house.
You're right, similiar to others But your lil changes do make it look alot cleaner finish And Practical. Great Job
nice build! for case of battery you could install a plastic box with a door like pelican or something! good job!
I wonder if you hit glued that bag to the side if it would work even better for ya. Love the idea!
Perfect for an after surf shower. Would be best mounted in the back of an SUV or truck bed with camper. I could use one of those in the summer just to cool off outside!
The nice thing about it too is it’s portability from the vehicle I like that. In a pinch it could be a quick small fire extinguisher. Say if your campfire embers were a problem. This could be a very quick solution before it got out of hand.
Had to Subscribe on this '4th' video Patrick. We think alike and after viewing 3 other vids on rocket stoves and how to improve them, your mindset to 'improve' projects is exactly how I tackle objectives. You do a great job. Very inspiring to those that look at these. Keep it up!
Patrick, You're a genius. You make it look so easy from someone who isn't mechanically inclined. I have a portable shower that is powered from my truck with a 50 foot cord. I usually camp in the winter and use a 7 gallon water container. I heat the water on the stove first and the temperature is perfect. I'm trying to figure out a way to cycle the water from one canister to a pot on the stove and then have that hot water drain into a second 7 gallon canister. Any suggestions? Could you build something like that?
I have a black tank like that. Whe are going to create a shower like that in our trailer! Nice video!
I'm doing this to the 3 cans I have and gifting them for Christmas! Great video!
Nice.
If you use a quick disconnect to match the one on the Can to connect the hose to the nozzle, when stored, you can connect the hos to itself, an davoid spils and drips potentially damaging your battery and other electrical components. A remote switch between the battery and pump would make it so you don;t have to dig for the battery to turn the system on. Use a black jerry can (or paint yours) for some solar heartng.
I built something similar about 40 years ago. It used a 24V bilge pump from a military vehicle (Army), and wired it into a standard trailer pigtail for power. We had gasoline fired immersion heaters that dropped into a garbage can or 55gal drum, and this lashup dropped in, and let us have hot showers while in the field. Everybody made fun of it when I was putting it together. The laughter stopped after the first hot bath they had had in a couple of weeks. The deal was, you show up with 5 gallons of water, you get 5 gallons of shower.
This was an awesome video! My husband and I do a lot of disperse camping so this would be so much nicer then a wash bucket! thanks for the video!
I notice that there's the possibility of accidentally hitting the power switch on the battery when loading the bag and hose into the bag. If you're not attentive, you might end up with a dead power pack that's drained past the ability to recharge. Aside from that, this build looks great!
Nice idea, for 2.o how about….
Keep the wet on one side and the battery on the other so then you can really double down on keeping the power dry and the hose=“ sloppy wet thing” isn’t a problem.
Thanks for sharing the product descriptions. We bought the pump a year ago and it's super solid. Have you had any issues with it?
Can u make a video on how to have warm water with it
I went through the cap also so it can be moved from can to can and cut the retention ring off of it.. also bought a black can that works great for a nice warm shower.
AWESOME build!!! Thank you for sharing every step! Will definitely be perfect for a beach day.
Just a advise,Maybe you could add a pressure switch in the outlet,that could automatic shutdown the pump when the sprayer is close,can save some power and avoid damage the pump.
can you share alink of the pressure switch your suggesting, thank you
Nice build, curious thou, does the power cable being fixed to the body and the water line being fixed to the lid cause the power cable to wrap up around the water line when you screw on or off the lid?
Add a quick connect to the outlet and you can attach other items. Just spent a weekend in 100+ degree heat and a mister system would have been great during the afternoon heat.
First video of yours I've seen. Very nice idea, assembly, and presentation. I subscribed! Hope to see a video update with the stronger pump if you do that.
Very nice pitch for the power supply. It prompted me to take a look however, I could not find a listing of the weight.
I use the quick release hose ends to connect a sawyer squeeze filter for potable water as well...
With the surgical tubing I use a ink pen in the center to roll it up then roll it onto the fitting.🤙
This would be great with a submergible heater 12 volts 300/600 watts.
I was gonna build this for tonight, but gave up after the requirements 😢
I like it! Love that bag option as good for keeping hoses!
Not being a negative Nelly, but . . . I’d use a soldering iron cutting blade to cut the hole in the bag for the wiring. Nylon frays, and a burnt end will delay the inevitable. That’s the simple option. Little more complicated would be to add a metal grommet to the hole.
Nice job and clean build. Maybe run the wire and power source into the small pocket to separate it from the hose since it'll be wet after use. Too bad you couldn't find a male hose mending kit, but it could be a positive - You can fill the can through the pump by hooking up the hose to a faucet. No need to unscrew the lid or use another hose.
Thank you! I was able to find it online and swapped it out. That is a good idea. Hadn't thought of using it to fill the can. The bag does have a little separator so that they aren't in the same spot but its not waterproof so I put the battery in a small Ziploc so it doesn't get wet.
Thats awesome i haven't seen one of these yet i will be building one over the winter now!
You definitely should!
I got a 55-gallon drum barrel and flex-tail portable shower… refreshing on a hot day.
Can you provide a tutorial how to use the drill properly for newbies.., especially, the using the different bits for different assignments..Thx
Glad you found the step drill 😀
Love the surfboard hanging up
Love timber boards
Good job on the shower too
CrouchOz
I just totally bought one off of Amazon for half the price and half the time but I appreciate guys making things way more complicated than they need to be
Thanks! You seem nice
great vid, I would think about adding electric heater inside, running of 12V or 5V.
What was the total cost of this build? Sweet set up and great inspiration!
Thanks for the tip that value - been looking for a solution for that
Very nice compact all-in-one setup. I have other solutions, but this might just replace everything. Thanks!
Thanks for the 5 minute video packed into 20 minutes of play time.
Quit your bitching..
@@PatrickRemington That hurt deeply apologize now.
@@PatrickRemington What hurt was you did not hit like on my comment.
Just a word of warning, most of these jerry cans are two halves electronically welded - melted at the seam to create a single unit. Constant flexing under varying pressures of inflating the can will eventually cause seam failure, and the contents will spill out. Unless the can was designed to handle constant varying pressures, I'd be careful. Most pressurized containers are cylinder shaped or round for a reason.
Yes for any of those that want to put a pump sprayer in one of these yes you are right. Not meant to be pressurize. What I did in this video doesn’t pressurize anything but the hose.
Nice idea and build! Definitely gives me some ideas to play around with while I wait for spring :)
This is actually very good idea! Thank you for sharing this project.👍
Ok I'm sold, just sell me that one and we are good! Great video sir!
Beautiful build! I don't know enough about portable showers to answer my own question, so I'm asking you.
Would it be worth the effort to paint the jerry can black in order that you could put it in the sunlight to warm for a while before use? Would it be worth the effort to get some insulating foam for the side you intend to face away from the sun to help keep the heat from dissipating? TBH, I'm imagining painting one of the large sides of the can black, and building a little frame out of insulating foam panels joined either by tape or webbing around the other three sides. Pull the can out, fill it, put the insulating frame on while aiming the black side at the sun. When it's warm enough, add one additional panel to trap the heat on the black side and have a nice shower that's warm all the way through.
Oh, I like where this is going... you could make your own container out of XPS on 5 sides, paint the inside black, make the 6th side clear, and add another piece of XPS on a hinge that could close over the clear side. Then open the hinged side so that the sun comes in through the clear side, and heats the black interior. Then when ready to use, close the hinged side, and the insulation on all six sides keeps the heat in.
I like! What size welder did you use and did I understand correctely that you welded with the 1000 as well?
Great idea. I was looking for something to clean the dog off before getting into the car.
Is the Anker C1000 LithiumIon or Lithium Phosphate and is power output thru cigarette lighter rated to what volts?
Couple thoughts, it would be nice to have a manual back-up system, some kind of manual pump. I hate electric systems that don't have manual back-ups. Might consider painting the tank black to make it a nice little hot water passive Solar system.
with your idea you could make a great weed sprayer with the right wand.
What a wonderful video cleverly thought out an absolute credit to you. I thank you for sharing everything with the world regards Johnno in the high country Australia.
A proper shower head mounted on a pump spray bottle works well too and no electrical power need.
Заметили ошибку конструкции, когда будешь закручивать крышку скрутятся шланг и провод. А так зачёт, надо придумать как этого избежать и тоже сделать такой душ. С меня подписка, мне нравятся каналы с идеями.
Great! The bag looks like it was made specially for it
AWESOME JOB! Love it! I have a shower system already, but man I'm going to make one for the camp sink.
Great video. Really like your personality. 👏
I’m cooler in person 😎😂
Wondering if some water filters could screw into the hose , if it might be too much pressure ? 😎
It wouldn’t be enough pressure
You should try using a chemical sprayer, the ones with small motor. More water efficient.
Barb to male hose is with the inground sprinkler components.
If you water your kids do they grow faster ! Nice video
Looks awesome. Any links for the parts used? Thanks.
Yes! everything is is the Description!
What about the hose quick disconnect? Thanks.
Great job man! Love it. I am in the process of buying a shower but this has me seriously reconsidering.
What were you considering?
How would go about heating the water inside?
@@GarageGeek go watch my most recent videos..
The only issue about not going out the cap is you can remove all of it. If you came out the cap you can remove everything easily for cleaning, etc.
