How to Build a DIY Off-Grid Pressurized Shower System

- Hey guys! Today I built an off-grid pressurized shower system - also good for rinsing off feet, as I discovered. I wanted to move to the next step in our self sufficiency, and this was a next on the list. We tried a five gallon bucket system, but mostly just ended up getting water up our noses when we dunked. So a shower system was a must! This system works simply by adding warm water to the pump sprayer, pumping up the pressure, and spraying with the garden nozzle. Look forward to an update on how it's working for us!
Thanks for watching!
BROOOOOOO I WAS LITERALLY THINKING AB USING ONE OF THE WEED SPRAYER BUT HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS CALLED TILL NOW ! THANKKKKKKSSSS!!!!
Cool shower, thanks for doing all the work, so we don’t make mistakes 😂
It’s looks good . very good
I bought a brand new garden sprayer. I also bought a kitchen sink sprayer & a 6ft braided hoses.
I kept the siphon "straw" & connected it to the braided hose. I didn't need any special connectors since it was already made for the kitchen sprayer.
It has excellent pressure because the sprayer has small holes! 6-8 pumps gives 30-40 second strong burst.
No special pumps, gas for heating or anything. That's true off grid style!
Nice! I just picked up a kitchen sprayer with a hose attached at our local Goodwill. I can't wait to try it out on our sprayer!
Just bought a 3 gallon metal sprayer. I already have the kitchen sprayer from a faucet I replaced.
Good job! 👏
I think I’m going to make one of these myself for feature off-grid living. Thanks for sharing! God bless! 🙏🥰
I purchased my weed sprayer for $15.00, and a spraying head $15.00 at Home Depot. The sprayer I have does not require me to hold the handle down to get water. it is a button that I push up/down to desired strength and on/off Cool creation. Thank you for sharing. I might need the connector you mentioned because I purchased the 1/4 inch hose adapter 💖
iFlow Magazine wow. That is great that you do not have to hold your handle down to get water. If I go to Home Depot, can you possibly tell me what I would look for in order to get a nozzle like yours that has a button to push down as well? At Home Depot do you think it would be near the Garden Hoses? I'm new to all of this and definately "workmanship challenged" when it comes to putting things together like this (lol). So, not sure what to even look for. Also, do you think the connectors would be the same with the type of nozzle that you used? Thanks so much in advance.
2:43 we must be related lol 😂
Exactly what I was looking for. Some thread tape perhaps, but if it doesn't leak no worries. Saw something like this years ago and now that I bought a van for the beach, this will help keep sand out by rinsing off 1st.
The best inventions always teach you more than you bargained for. But it's always worth it.
Thanx for the viddie!
Thanks so much. 😎
Great idea!!!!👍 thank you!😀
GOOD JOB. THANKS FOR THE VID!
Very helpful video. Thank you
Very smart fit up.
Hey, this is how we lived on our boat going around the world when I was 10-16 --no electricity (except later, using a generator, for lights), no electronics. Had to polish and trim kerosene lamps hung in gimbals from the wall. I do
grat idea thank you very much
Great vid!
Cool!! Good job!!
Super Helpful Idea 💡😃
Nice job even handy guys have forgot to put the hose clamp on first. Really cool.
I just thought of this and here you are!
I love the henna, all natural
What are the fitting sizes? Please. (3/8 barb x 3/8 GHT garden hose adapter?)
Good on you mate you done it yew
God job young lady!!!!☮️❤️🕯️
Nice
Nice I’m going to add a auto pump to that manual one instead thanks for the input
Great idea! Paint that bad boy black so the sun will warm the water up for you. Also maybe the pressure will be higher if you made the hose thicker yes more work but if you really wanted the pressure. It looks like you do have enough pressure just like you were saying so thank you for your video
thanks girl for this. did not know what the part was called which push into the smaller pipe
watched the video and I do not know the size of the fitting to go in the hose. Do you recall the size I have same sprayer and did find a sink sprayer which is 1/4 female but what is the other side please help me want to buy this online
I know the guy who first came up with the idea of a pressure pack shower its good to see people still putting there own spin on it
Nice. If you use a stainless steel model you can heat it up on the fire.
I make mine from Military Water Cans.

Thanks for the demonstration and ideas. I would of liked to have seen you showing the shower head on the different settings that it has. You possibly may have better pressurized spray on a different setting. Plus you did not say or show what setting you had selected for your demonstration.
I think its called like barbed end and the brass one needed to be 1/4 at that end i want a hose nozzle one too but need right size for the other end 🤔
Is there a way to attach a hot water heater into this system?
Can you please please please please share a link to those hose fittings! Please 😔
To take a 2 gallon shower ( size of the tank ), how often do you have to pump it up?
4 times ,I just took one with out the front part .it
Please description each item ? Size for example
What are the part names (other than the weed sprayer)? Thanks.
The part names she used was quarter inch barb to male threaded bushing to 3/4 or 5/8 inch bushing and a hose nozzle
I do have one question. If we get completely off the grid, how can we watch your vlog? Just sayin'.
lol, well we’re planning on staying on the grid just enough to have some form of Internet. Ideally it would be solar powered. It may just be what we can pull from the hotspots on our iphones. Good question!
Thanks to our Houston “blizzard” I have no well or pipes in my house.
Made a similar version of this.
Effective 👍😁
A few other TH-camrs do this full time.
Great idea! You are Cute!
Small nuzzle is better.boil some water & pour it in.booooom !
I have watched a few of these vids. At this point I might suggest a no pressure system. Just have the water source higher than ur head.
To give credit where it's due, that question was Jerry's.
Well I thought she was was going to take a shower and demonstrate how long the pressure would last
Wish would be more user friendly, like exact parts details in description, links to the parts like on Amazon, have to look how the items looks , keep rewinding it , not too helpful
Please show us What to buy , not what u accidentally bought
Why wouldn’t you show it in use with the “shower” setting at the end instead of that funky setting it was on ? Made no sense .
lol!!!!
