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.
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’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 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!
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.
I have a black tank like that. Whe are going to create a shower like that in our trailer! Nice video!
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.
With the surgical tubing I use a ink pen in the center to roll it up then roll it onto the fitting.🤙
Thanks for the tip that value - been looking for a solution for that
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!
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!
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.
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.
with your idea you could make a great weed sprayer with the right wand.
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 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.@@skysteppes1017
@skysteppes1017 yes you do have to constantly pump, the wider the outlet the more you would have to pump.
This is actually very good idea! Thank you for sharing this project.👍
The best portable shower that I have seen.
I like it! Love that bag option as good for keeping hoses!
You're right, similiar to others But your lil changes do make it look alot cleaner finish And Practical. Great Job
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 💡🤔 🚿 👍
Great introduction, well built...
Scepter water can comes in black as well, great for warming the shower water in the sun...
Great! The bag looks like it was made specially for it
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!
Glad you found the step drill 😀
AWESOME JOB! Love it! I have a shower system already, but man I'm going to make one for the camp sink.
I absolutely love this idea!!!! Thank you!
Very nice compact all-in-one setup. I have other solutions, but this might just replace everything. Thanks!
Great idea! Making one for the my boat!
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.
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...
Nice idea and build! Definitely gives me some ideas to play around with while I wait for spring :)
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.
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!
Great job man! Love it. I am in the process of buying a shower but this has me seriously reconsidering.
What were you considering?
Unique and excellent idea. Thanks much.
I think this would work fine for my application, thank you!
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
Great build Would love to do this
I think this very compact and neat!
Love the surfboard hanging up
Love timber boards
Good job on the shower too

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
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 job I'll be copying this
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.
Thats awesome i haven't seen one of these yet i will be building one over the winter now!
You definitely should!
Really enjoyed the video, thank you!
I think your video and build were both great. Thanks for the inspiration.
🙏🏼🌴🐈🐈🐈🌴🏴☠️
Super nice!!! thanks
FANTASIC TYVM! Great Vid!
Great video. Really like your personality. 👏
I’m cooler in person 😎😂
Awesome content.., you can use a commador plastic hook too.
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.
nice build! for case of battery you could install a plastic box with a door like pelican or something! good job!
I love it. Thank you.
I like this THANKS for posting
I wonder if you hit glued that bag to the side if it would work even better for ya. Love the idea!
I would use that to water the plants.
👍👍👍
Another great idea my brother, thank you
thank you!
That’s awesome great job
Nice build...thx
i like all your DIY works..Great job Bro..
Thank you!
Very cool...A non-electric pressurized hand pump version for me.
Thank you for the video
That's awesome thanks
Cool video 😮😊
Could also be used for a sink since you are using fresh water too
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.
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.
good job!!!
Jolly good one there, matey-o 👍🏻 You've got yourself another sub 😉
Smart neat, very handy
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 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.
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.
I like! What size welder did you use and did I understand correctely that you welded with the 1000 as well?
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.
Great video
Love it
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 got a 55-gallon drum barrel and flex-tail portable shower… refreshing on a hot day.
Very nice pitch for the power supply. It prompted me to take a look however, I could not find a listing of the weight.
Nice DIY.
I have found that those DC power connectors don't hold the cables well. They seem to be always pulling out.
great vid, I would think about adding electric heater inside, running of 12V or 5V.
Can u make a video on how to have warm water with it
I like it!
Nice job!
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?
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!!
Good job.
Thank you!
Pretty cool
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.
Barb to male hose is with the inground sprinkler components.
Brilliant!
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.
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?
I like it.
Can you provide a tutorial how to use the drill properly for newbies.., especially, the using the different bits for different assignments..Thx
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.
