  • Position the EverShower wherever and however you’d like – indoors, outdoors, roof on, roof off, with the frame or with overhead points of attachment.
  • Place the included 12 volt electric pump into your water source – inside the tub (drain closed), if recycling, or outside the tub (drain open) for continuous fresh water.

  • To recycle, just pour up to 10 litres of water into the tub (3 or 4 is ample). Use solar or stove  heated water, or for real luxury, a portable water heater.

  • Switch on the pump, step in and enjoy one fabulously, long, private EverShower virtually anywhere.

  • Hang the shower handset above for relaxing, hands-free, guilt-free, private showering.

Another Awesome Aussie Invention!

For people who enjoy being clean as much as they enjoy getting dirty.

Here’s a short video to describe exactly what you get when you buy an EverShower. Watch

There are many advantages of this system but here’s a few of the main ones:

  • The ability to reuse the same water for as long as desired.
  • Fully self-contained (no grey-water on the ground).
  • Set up or packs away in seconds.
  • weighs just 6 kg (13lb). Please note that the Monsoon model EverShower weighs around 8kp (17lb) but it not yet available in North America.

In Australia, the Monsoon EverShower, at present, is $389.

The stand alone EverShower is still a fully-functioning shower, complete with water pump and shower rose etc. You can heat the water yourself, on the camp stove, for example, or even in the EverShower tub (cover on) using the free energy of the sun and then recycle that water. The EverShower can also be neatly paired with a portable gas water heater. This may be desirable in colder conditions as it will add heat to the water with each cycle.

If you purchase the EverShower on its own but later decide to add a water heater (virtually any water heater) it’s very easy to get the two products working well together with this little adaptor hose.

EverShower can be set up or packed down in seconds. Watch

Yes. EverShower gives you the option to keep using the same water for as long as you like. You can easily replace the water anytime, even mid-shower, to rinse, or not until the end of the next person’s shower, in remote desert situations, for example. A long, hot, guilt-free shower in the middle of the desert, staring up through the steam at the stars would have to be one of the most amazing experiences which most people would never get to enjoy.
If you have plenty of fresh water available EverShower can be set to run on continuous fresh water just like any regular shower.
When set to recycle, however, the EverShower is fully self-contained (no grey-water on the ground and no standing in the dirt).
With this method it’s obviously not wasting water but it’s also not wasting the energy required to heat the water. Recycling heated water means much of the heat is retained.

Hot water can simply be added to the tub and then recycled or heat can be continuously added by pairing the EverShower with a water heater.

Pour 10 litres of water into the tub in the morning, place it in the sun with its solar-absorbent cover and by the afternoon you already have 10 litres of hot water ready to use. Or, heat water on the stove and pour it into the tub. If the shower feels too hot just let it cycle a few times until the temperature is nice then step inside.

Or pair the EverShower with a portable water heater. Instead of pumping the water from the tub to the handset and back again, pump the water via a gas water heater. With the roof attached the EverShower quickly feels like a little steam room.

If you’re planning on going somewhere cold then an instant gas water heater is definitely the way to go. EverShower has been made compatible with most portable water heaters. Here’s a short video to show EverShower working wonderfully with a Smarttek Black portable gas water heater.

If you recycle heated water then you are retaining much of the heat within that water. Therefore, very little energy is required to maintain the temperature. Gas/propane/L.P.G consumption, when using the heater, is very negligible indeed.

We’ve been using EverShower in the New Zealand snow and found it to be absolutely amazing. When using the gas water heater the shower tent becomes a little steam room in seconds. Fifteen minutes later you won’t want to get out. Better still, if you’re recycling the water, you don’t need to get out. Not only are you not wasting water but by recycling the water, it is also retaining much of the heat so it takes very little gas to keep up the temperature.

EverShower’s unique patented design means plenty of room where you need it most – around arms and shoulders. With around 2 metres of internal height (roof on) it still packs down to a small carry case about 52 x 52 x 16 cm and all just weighing around 6-8kg.

When set up, with the frame, it’s widest point is about 175cm from the floor and measures about 98cm across. Please note, however, that the best way to use the EverShower indoors is often without the frame at all and instead by use of overhead points of attachment and the included adjustable straps.

The total height of the frame from floor to apex is about 215cm.

Water flow is powered by a very efficient 12 volt submersible electric pump. Simply plug into a motor vehicle’s 12 volt cigarette lighter socket, battery pack or converter. Alternatively, some water heaters have their own lithium-iron battery which can power the pump for about 80 minutes and can be recharged and used directly from 12v or 240v.

When recycling the water the pump is attached to a saddle inside the tub. It literally pumps the water from the tub up to the handset and back down. To run on continuous fresh water the pump can be detached from the saddle and submerged into your own fresh water bucket, for example, or jerrycan.

The high volume pump is rated for many thousands of hours of showering and with a very low power consumption of around 2-6 amps, depending on the model.

There are many portable water heaters on the market and the EverShower will function well with most of them.

The basic principle is that, instead of pumping the water from the tub up to the handset and around again, it pumps via a water heater.

Most portable water heaters will come with their own water pump. The EverShower pump is high capacity but low pressure so may not be compatible with some water heaters. When running the EverShower with a heater it’s usually better to use the pump supplied with the heater. We also recommend a 6 litre per minute capacity or greater. Some heaters include a 6L pump and some offer it as an option.

To pair the EverShower and heater together, it’s not essential but can make it neater, to buy or make an intake adaptor hose like this. Watch

Here’s a short video showing the paring of a Smarttek water heater with the EverShower. Watch

Fresh water can come from any available source within reach of the EverShower pump or, for example, using a regular domestic, mains pressure water hose. When the EverShower is set to recycle the water the pump simply stays inside the tub, secured to it’s cradle. Water is then added to the tub itself (up to about 10 litres but we find 3 or 4 litres more than sufficient). When using the water heater and recycling, the pump also stays inside the tub. Water from the tub is simply pumped to the water-heater then up to the shower handset then back into the tub. The Coleman water heater can also run directly from a mains pressure water hose.

Yes. The tent-screen and tub retain the water within the EverShower system.  Here’s another example inside a van with full standing height. It can even be used inside a regular domestic bathroom, tub only, for massive savings in water and energy. Essentially it’s a washroom which can be packed quickly away into small drawer – great for tiny houses, small apartments, offices, boats, caravans etc. Here’s an example of it being set up for use inside a small camper van, even though this particular van doesn’t have full standing height.

Please follow manufacturer’s recommendations closely with regard to safe working environments for water heaters.

The EverShower works very well indoors. To use on continuous fresh water rather than recycling just position the drain in the floor of the EverShower over a drain, for example, in your bathroom floor.
Alternatively, you could save enormously, in both water and water heating costs, by recycling. Just pour a few litres of warm water into the EverShower base and let the EverShower pump recycle it (IE. from the base up to the handset and back again). Soap up and wash off, then pump the used water down a drain or sink via the handset. Pour in another 3 or 4 litres for a long-as-you-like, guilt-free, money-saving rinse.
The only additional item you might need if recycling is a small transformer to provide 12 volts.

Watch

EverShower has a surprising ability to function well even in windy conditions. It comes with four guy ropes and strong alloy pegs but in practice we’ve found that mostly only one guy rope has been necessary, in the direction of the wind and attached to an immovable object or just pegged into the ground.

The EverShower tub itself also incorporates four peg anchor points.

Obviously the weight of a person and water in the tub tends to keep it stable in mild conditions. If an un-pegged, empty shower does blow over in the wind the frame will provide good protection for the tent fabric and once it’s laying down it’s actually a very aerodynamic shape, so tends not to travel any further.

In extreme conditions the tent can simply be unclipped from the frame, dropped into the tub and the cover attached. It this mode it is able to withstand some of the most horrendous conditions but ready to use next time in a flash.

The Coleman Hot Water On Demand incorporates a lithium iron battery which will power the water pump for around 80 minutes. The HWOD’s battery can be recharged via a motor vehicle’s 12v cigarette lighter or 240v.

Adaptors are available which can enable the pump to be connected to a regular household power supply. View the 240V adaptor by Powertech.

There are also 12 volt battery packs which can be used virtually anywhere and recharged as necessary.

Many other water heaters also include their own rechargeable 12 volt power supply.

There are a few options: If there happens to be a drain in the floor then the EverShower can simply be positioned over it so that it corresponds with the drain in the EverShower tub. If there’s a drain or washbasin within reach of the shower handset then it’s just a matter of turning on the pump (just mop the last little bit out with a sponge-cloth). Alternatively, just release the tent screen (or drop it into the tub) and carry the tub outside or to a sink, for example.

The “Monsoon” model EverShower (not yet available in the US) incorporates a side drain to which a hose can be easily attached in order to direct the waste water outside.

The EverShower pump can be placed into any nearby fresh water source. The drain in the tub can be opened and the EverShower can then perform just like any regular shower. The Coleman water heater (and many other water heaters) can be connected directly to any garden hose (no pump required).

We’ve had some very heavy people using them and haven’t broken one yet. However, it is important that it be situated on a flat, even surface and, if there are sharp objects like gravel or stones, that matting be placed underneath.

The base measures around 52 x 52 x 16 cm. The overall height when set up with the frame is approximately 200 cm. The width across the top of the tent is about 100 cm. The unique tapered design provides ample space where it’s needed, around arms and shoulders but is still able to pack down quickly and easily into a small case.

Yes. The EverShower pump and handset have been specifically chosen for their reliability and efficiency. Obviously, when recycling the water “efficiency” becomes a non-issue in terms of water use. For example, we use the Smarttek6 water heater in our camper van (because it suits the space better) and we use a big 6 litre/minute water pump and a huge shower handset. This combination gives us a better water flow than most regular domestic showers.

The basic principle is that, instead of pumping the water from the tub up to the handset and around again, it pumps via a water heater.

Most portable water heaters will come with their own water pump. The EverShower pump is high capacity but low pressure so may not be compatible with some water heaters.

Some heaters include a 6L pump and some offer it as an option.

Yes it does. The saving in shipping costs would most likely make it much more economical to purchase the water heater locally.

The EverShower is made compatible with many different water heaters. We recommend the Coleman Hot Water On Demand, which is widely available around the world, but other heaters may be preferable depending on the intended use.

It can certainly be used with many different types of water heater. We like the Coleman Hot Water On Demand because of its compact size but we’ve also used the EverShower very successfully with the Smarttek Black and the Aqua Cube.

Yes. Of course, heated water from any source can be poured into the EverShower tub and used for recycling and other heaters can also be used to recycle continuously heated water. The EverShower comes with a little 15mm adaptor which will allow you to connect the water hose from the EverShower pump to a regular garden hose quick connector. Water can then be pumped from the EverShower tub directly to most instant gas water heaters, out to the shower handset and back into the tub for recycling.

If a different pump is required, or a bigger capacity pump desired, just connect a standard inline water filter, such as that pictured below, to the end of the heater’s intake hose and cut the filter inlet at an angle as shown. This filter can then be strapped into the cradle which normally holds the EverShower pump inside the tub.

If the pump and/or heater are also being used for drinking water then it will be necessary to run and appropriate cleaning solution through the system after showering.

It’s not a problem if you use soap. It’s best not to go too crazy with soap suds, however, and it’s a good idea of rinse the pump with little fresh water after using with soap and before storing. It’s often preferable to replace the water mid-shower in order to rinse anyway.

For those in very water-scarce situations, who would like to share the water between users, it can be better not to use soap at all.

The pump kit and shower rose included with the EverShower have been specifically chosen for their performance and reliability. Unfortunately, we don’t sell the EverShower without or pump kit system.

Setting up the EverShower for the first time is a little different from regular setting up. Here’s a video to explain in more detail. Watch
