DLX Solar Shower 20L

Great bag shocking nozzle

For what it is, not bad

Service from Snowy's was very good. Delivery was very prompt. It's not a bad product given the price and how it's meant to be used. It could stand some improvement though. The main problem with this type of unit is height. You need something high (a tree?) handy so you can lift it high enough for the water to gravity feed properly. A wider, shorter bag would at least give some assistance here, Compounding this is that the hose comes very neatly folded with 2 kinks that are almost impossible to flatten out and these restrict the flow when you lift the hose. It should come with some anti-kink hose. I ended up replacing it with some 10mm high pressure, reinforced hose from the local hardware which solved this. At $3 a metre, and you don't need that much, it wouldn't be unreasonable to have this as standard. Also beware the shower nozzle is quite fragile. It's a captive thread set up - tighten to restrict and loosen to open. Problem is, it popped off altogether when I loosened it once. You can push it back on easily enough, but after this it leaked quite badly from the thread and less from the head when off completely. I fixed the thread leak by popping the head off again and fitting a tap o-ring seal. The nozzle still has a slight leak sadly, Not a big deal really. All up, you can have a make-do shower with this product just fine provided you have height. I wouldn't recommend it though if you are planning on long term camping. Might be better off with an electric pump, a bucket and your own hose / shower arrangement.

Broken Nozzle

Bought this shower for my boyfriend for Christmas. We were really excited to use it and took it camping the following day. We were very impressed with how hot the water became when left in the sun. This was unfortunately dampened when we went to use the shower head and the nozzle was broken and not letting any water out! We could not use it for the rest of the trip and ended up using the water for cooking.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that, Liz.

If you've got a sec, can you please flick us an email (service@snowys.com.au) with a photo or two of the broken nozzle? Our warranty team can take a look quick-smart.

Cheers, Laine

Not keen on shower head

The bag is good. But we found the shower head really did not give a lot of water out. We would rather shorter but wetter shower. Also difficult to dry the inside for storage. Not a big fan.

I'm sorry you're less than happy with your new camp shower, Ollie. These certainly aren't designed to provide a luxury shower experience, but rather an inexpensive way to have a wash in the outdoors. The best way to dry them it to hang it with the fill port at the bottom and let the last of the water evaporate, I find I need to leave water vessels like this hanging for a week or so to ensure they are completely dry before storage. ~ Ben
