NEMO Helio Pressure Shower experience?

[Jack Grit]

Hi folks,

Does anyone have experience with these?

Saw it in one of Bob's vid's. Bob noticed
it and said he though it looked great but
I could tell he was not familiar with it.

100 bucks!
Foot pump and container susceptible to punctures, tears.

Garden sprayer and kitchen spray head available much cheaper, more durable.

johnny b, I tried a quality 2 gallon garden sprayer and the spray was too fine.
What brand of sprayer do you have? Where did you get the kitchen spray head and how
did you attach it?

Thanks in advance.

Just passing along an example....I actually made my shower from an old fire extinguisher.

Kitchen spray head with hose available at Home Depot, etc.--about 15 bucks.
Brass hose barb--under $2.

Thanks for your responses. I am testing the water pressure from the Helio and a Round-Up sprayer today. Whichever has more pressure "wins" (for me). The one thing that the Helio has that the garden sprayer doesn't is the foot pump. Seems that would be great for dishes and keeping your shower going hands free. You are right about the high price and the puncture/tear issues though, johnny b..
