I use a $5.00 bucket from home depot and a 30.00 electronic rechargeable showerhead I got on some online site. I also use a wolfwise popup tent and we bought a small bamboo showering platform that stands above the ground a bit more and can rinse dirt off easier if the bottom gets dirty. I really like this gadget though.
Hey have you ever used hot water in it? I think what you did is great for people like me who are low income. Could you let me know if you are able to use hot water?
@@Oldmanlearns718 We bought our little system to work with warm water. My thought was to heat up a gallon or two of boiling water with cold water in the bucket and shower with that. It's a 5 gallon bucket but we only need 1-2.5 gallons to shower both of us with this thing but it was pretty warm.
@@Breaky0self44 it was at the Costco in Northridge, California. I saw them for like $150 at first and a week or so later I saw that they were $100 and I couldn’t pass it up.
The outtakes say it all Jerry ! You put a lot of time into these videos and you really earn the product you are reviewing . We had talked about some sort of product like this when we go camping. Thx Jerry !
This sort of device has been fantastic for getting the sand off after a surf or a hike. Our handle broke, I ended up replacing it (in the field) with a paracord webbing...and I've just left it that way. it's much easier to manage and it has the added bonus of keeping it from sitting directly on the ground.
I use mine all the time camping. A little trick, put the unit in direct sunlight and the black plastic absorbs the heat and heats the water. Also the Joolca shower head has the same hose fitting and works awesome.
I purchased this for lawn care but I am planning to use it for camping soon. It's been reliable & durable and I have run several gallons through it multiple times over the past two years without taxing the battery at all. It is easy to clean so I am comfortable using it for two purposes. However, for $80 you could get one just for camping. The pressure is not very high, but it will rinse caked dirt off your ankles just fine. I am sure there are better shower heads you could attach to the hose if that's your sole use. Scotts 190567 Lithium-Ion Battery Powered Garden Sprayer. I use the 2 gallon version.
I eyed this thing at costco for a month, and i just went and bought it for 145 at costco. I have messy kids and figured it would be good for out little outings on the beach, etc.
This was a great review. I really appreciate it. I got this from Costco. I haven’t used it yet, but I have watched a lot of reviews I can think of multiple uses for it even with cleaning. Thank you.
I was using this daily for a bit on my surf missions and unfortunately went through 3 of the regular rinse kits(w/o the electric pump) and they all eventually leaked and lost pressure. Rinse Kit did replace the first one, but I became so frustrated I just threw the last one in the garbage and just bought a Yakima road shower which has held up (soFar)
Great review.. I have a Nemo Helio shower which is great; no moving parts, highly packable, but sometimes I wish I had constant pressure without having to use a foot pump and this new Rinsekit seems almost perfect. As you say, they’re expensive but to me it’s a long term investment, the capability is something I could use for many years.. will still always keep my Nemo though, I like to at least have options that don’t rely on batteries as a backup. Thanks!..
great video! thanks for sharing. It's $149 at Costco right now. Need this for my Class B van for outdoor cleaning stuff (ie. paddle boards, big group camping stuff etc.)
I also live in AZ and do remote dispersed camping away from water so we pack all water with us. Given that my quest to find a shower rinse kit has been: dc pump in a bucket ( wastes too much water), Nemo Helio pump shower (works, hose is too short, biggest CON is you can't really transport water in it bouncing around in a truck full of gear), Zodi heatable pressure washer system (stainless steel developed pinhole leaks within a few months & company went out of business), stainless steel 3Gal pressure sprayer (worked great but also rusted inside), 3gal plastic pressure sprayer (also works great but metal pump handle rod rusted), Geyser system non heated wish it was battery operated with built in battery vs DC cable, conserved water but bulky for it's size & water volume). My current setup is primarily a plastic 3gal pressure sprayer & occassional use of the geyser system. Lately I have been looking into battery powered USB rechargeable pressure sprayers (many have flow control dials) and discovered the rinsekit pro. This is what I am looking for but I see the cons as no user replaceable battery (at least I haven't found any evidence of that.) For the price they could have used a small LiFePo battery insealed of a sealed lead acid battery. The hose should have a screw on attachment instead of a crimp connector. Last con is is see is many reviews discuss how cheap & thin the box is with some reporting cracking & leaks. This debating the battery pressure washer or the rinsekit pro. Either way I will make an adapter to use the geyser system sponges to minimize water use when showering. Questions I have for you: Do you have an update since using it longer? Would you still recommend it? Any additional pros or cons you may have discovered since this video? Can you tell is the battery is under replaceable. Some of the battery operated pressure sprayers have user replaceable batteries & pumps available.
It isn't built for battery replacement. I'm sure someone who has knowledge and experience with DIY could figure it out, but it isn't built for that. I do agree on the durability. That's my biggest concern and why I said I treat it gently. I haven't taken it out since this video, but will be again next weekend. I'll try to remember to get back to you with an update after that trip. We do a lot of day hikes and short backpacking trips where it doesn't go along. It definitely has a niche use.
have used a Hose 2 Go for years. four gallons under pressure, no battery, lays on roof rack to warm up while traveling. only draw back is you need to find a hose bib somewhere to refill.
I have their newest version (the cube) that I like slightly better, but I’m not sure what the cost difference is. The original still works great too. Just took it on our family camping trip and still love it.
I had been using a Jerry can outfitted with a garden pump and kitchen sink sprayer. It works great but I’d love to not have to pump it mid rinse! I’ve looked at several styles but this one makes the most sense to me… constant pressure and portability for the win! Thanks for the review!
Awesome video man! I go multi day camping and you totally sold me. Only think I wish you covered how many people can take a shower I mean good for 2 grown ups before filling it up
We can get two adults showered out of one tank. You have to shower pretty fast (and don't leave the water running the entire time; just use to get wet and wash off), but it works. Been a while since I got this thing and I still bring it with me. Although I usually bring their cube version. I like it slightly better, but either works fine.
Oooo, that price though. Ouch. Great review. I appreciate the honesty. I'm looking for an overland shower and think I'm gonna get the Camplux water heater.
In all seriousness it looks to be a great product, I hike and Mtn bike. Getting the grime off when in the Arizona heat is the best👍. Well done video. Thank you.
I love it for the outdoor stuff I use it for but for washing a car I don’t think it would work too well. It doesn’t have a ton of water pressure and I would think you’d have to refill it a bunch of times to finish washing a car.
Kind of scratching my head with this video. I have built PVC pipe showers for DIRT cheap, that attached to my truck that never once failed. Buying a premade unit from one of the big companies is laughable. And the best portable shower ever made is a rechargeable battery operated shower head with a small hose that sucks water out of any container, sold on amazon, for dirt cheap, that blows away every camp shower I have ever used. Do not buy that thing he is selling.
Interesting. Did not know those existed. And I know you can also build showers. Lots of people, like myself, either don't have the time, desire and/or ability to tackle DIY projects. But it's really awesome if you can.
You have to hold down the nozzle that comes with it. There's a hands free nozzle you can purchase separately. (But I will warn you that mine decided to die in the case in between uses. So it's hard for me to recommend.) Might be able to just use a rubber band to hold down the handle that comes with it.
How long does the shower last on continuous with the setting on shower mode? Online it says it lasts up to 6:30 on center mode, just curious for the actual shower setting.
Honestly, I can't remember. If I timed it, I'd say so in the video. If you want to conserve water, you can spray yourself to get wet, lather up, then spray again to wash off. My wife and I can both get a shower without refilling doing this. If you just let it run constantly, you're gonna need to shower quickly and you won't get more than one person showered. Made that mistake when we had the heater hooked up to it and got into that warm shower hypnosis on a trip and it seemed to run out pretty fast.
Tina and I were both able to shower and probably didn't use 1/3 of the 3.5 gallons in the tank. We used the manual sprayer, so water wasn't just running like your shower at home. But it was enough for each of us to shower completely, including washing our hair. It seemed to run out a lot faster on the family trip, but our grand daughter spent a lot of time playing with the auto nozzle....
Great video I’m going to buy it!! Can you please send me the link to the potty and shower tent you said you use towards the end of the video please? Thanks buddy
For some reason I can't seem to share links on here. You can look up Wolf Wise pop up tent and it should show up though. If you're considering buying, check out their newer cube model. I have both and prefer that one for a couple of reasons. But I love both of them. For multi day camping, they work great for us.
Yeah, true. My time and effort making the video also has value. Lots of places (including Rinsekit) will give you money for each sale generated by a review video. I don’t accept that because it is incentive to sell units which can obviously skew an opinion. Anyway, if you’re interested, check out their new cube model. It has several improvements and that’s the one I take on most trips.
Should just have to fill it with water, turn on the power button and then you can spray from the hose. If not, it may be defective and you’ll need to reach out to customer service.
Never cleaned one. I always just fill it with water. You can't really access the inside of the tank other than the small fill opening. So if you wanted to do anything other than rinse/flush it a few times with clean water, it would be tough.
smh dude just build one out military 20L water can with quick disconnect and a 12 v battery pack it has its own handle completely water proof works great
