Portable Pressurized Beach Shower - (RinseKit Review)

Postby njrider » Tue Apr 05, 2016 1:49 am

So I got this thing last year sort of on a lark - At first I was not sold on it, but then I found a way to fill it with hot water and it has made my spring/fall riding super comfortable. Their are some things that I think they should/could improve, that being said, I always make space in my car to bring along this slick gadget.

Better idea :
forget about the shower, or even the fresh water ; if yours puts out hot water at a certain
temp, then put it on a float with an anchor, and a pre-paid card that the user would get
one minute of warm water to flush his wet-suit with, in winter . You will make a Fortune !! :D

I love my rinse kit. I bought it just cause it seemed like a cool idea. We dive and kite, and it's been very helpful. We don't kite on nice pretty beaches, so our feet are usually covered in crap. The rinse kit has made it great for cleaning up some before getting in the car. It's also nice sometimes to just spray the salt water off of yourself if you're going to go get beers or something after a session and want to feel a little less gross. It produces a stronger spray than you'd imagine for longer than you'd need for quick cleanup. Mine started to leak, so I contacted rinsekit and they replaced it for free in my 1 year warranty period.
I've been very happy for it for it's $80 price tag. It goes to the beach with me every time.

Have you seen that they are coming out with a rechargeable heater add-on accessory? Looks pretty cool. I saw it on their Facebook page

Imagine you are camping off the grid in some sandunes with facilities, no running water and have a wife enjoys the finer things in life, hates, roughing it hates wind and sand is a clean freak. Add in 3 kids that constantly get themselves dirty and covered I sand!. You have the makings of rage factor 9.5. A warm powered shower might reduce the rage factor down to 7.5! maybe even 6.5!

So I definitely see a use for it.

For myself I just carry a 3L bottle of water which can do a quick wash down of face and feet if need be when I'm at a location that doesn't have running water.

Side note. You could easily make something like this for spending a few $$ at a hardware store.
Get yourself a 20l container, some garden hose fittings and a spray gun. Go to the cycle shop and get a tubeless valve. Drill and install that. Or you could install an old bladder valve. Pump the container up to a few psi.... boom! instant pressurised shower.

You definitely can use a jug, but the power of the nozzle is much nicer for knocking off the dirt and debris.

And yes, you can definitely make one. It's just a container that self pressurizes, but it's well built and my time was worth more than $80.

I was going to buy a lawn care pressurized chemical bottle - this is probably a better idea.

Just do what this guy is doing. You don't ever have to worry about losing pressure.

I bet if you found one with a black container and let it sit out in the sun it will probably automaticly heat up the water
