Here's what customers have to say

The Helio Pressure Shower is a well-designed outdoor shower that provides good water pressure and easy heating in the sun. Many users praised its convenience and ease of use, but some found the main container cap difficult to close, and drying the interior can be challenging, potentially leading to mold. Overall, the product received mostly positive reviews as a useful addition for camping and outdoor activities.

Quite handy!

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

We took this thing on our road trip with two dogs. It was a "dog beaches and brews" tour. We enjoyed having this after stopping at a dog beach. We could rinse off the dogs with fresh water before putting them back in the backseat. It was very easy to use. A few improvements that I can think of are (1) a longer hose between the tank and foot pump (When the tank sits on the tailgate of a truck, you have to push it with a hand. With a longer hose, the pump can sit on the ground.), (2) the funnel can be a bit bigger (It became a bit difficult to fill the tank sometimes. We'll pack a short hose that can be connected to a spigot in the future.), and (3) another D loop may be helpful to fasten the tank to something so it doesn't roll around, in the truck bed, for example (a few bungee cords would do the trick.)

This is the second solar shower that I have purchased (my wife and now have our own). One Nemo will work for 2 people but for a longer shower, we each get our own. Nemo makes a great product. No complaints.

Helio shower nemo

We've been using this helio shower nemo for 2 years now when we go away at the weekend with our van. We were delighted with the shower until we couldn't use it any more because of the foot pump. It's very difficult to pump and you can hear bubbles in the balloon and there's no presso for showering. Thank you for your reply as we would like to use it during our holidays in August! Sincerely K. Mergen

Broke on second use

We received this shower as a gift and thought it would be the perfect addition to our Namibian camping equipment. While the concept is good the quality is not. The hang strap broke the first time we used it and the seam near the fill cap busted on the second use and the shower no longer holds pressure. its basically just an expensive sack of water now. We live overseas and this product will be impossible to return.

very good product

Perfect. Ruptures in local big water pipes caused several days without running water for about half a million people in western Puerto Rico. Helio pressure shower served my household very well. Also, it was delivered to us in a very short time.

Good concept, terrible nozzle!

I bought this shower prior to my last camping trip. The vessel pressurised well however the diameter of the flow from the nozzle made the whole event comical. I'm a big guy and trying to have a Shower with a jet of water only 1.5cm wide is underwhelming. Can NEMO please look into selling a wide spray Shower head so as I don't have to but a different unit

Great boat shower

After two summers of cruising use on our boat, we remain very happy with the Nemo (the larger stand-up Helio) — and especially happy with the company which replaced a broken nozzle (breakage was our fault) no questions asked and no charge. While the fill cap can be a bit difficult to close, the closure is tight and stays closed under pressure — works well. The shower is much easier to use than the old hang-up solar showers — it heats and holds enough water for two showers (one longer one for my wife, shorter one for me). Highly recommend.

Doesn't Work as Advertised

Wouldn't work when the bag was on the ground. Only worked when the bag was level with the nozzle i.e. at head height. Returned the very next day.
