4X'D' Battery operated Camping Showers.
Permalink  

I have just discovered that you can buy Campimg Showers that are run on 4  'D' Batteries.   I had only heard of the 12 Volt ones prior to last Saturday, when a friend advised me that these are now available.

Jaycar have some on sale for $19.99 each at the moment.  Needless to say, I bought one today.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Sounds good Sheba.

Is this the one? Obviously $19.99 is a good special at the moment.

 Hi Peter.

The Instruction Sheet says, "Approximate operation time using Alkiline Batteries [recommended] is up to 6 hours.[Continuous run.]

Cheers,

Sheba.

Don't forget to remove the batteries after use - if you leave them in you will find the spring terminals rust and corrode in a few weeks and then the pump won't work. We had one which unbeknowns to us allowed water to enter the battery compartment so we only got a weekend out of it.

Thank you Denis.  I had thought that I'd take the Batteries out after every use, to prolong their life. [Maybe.]

Cheers,

Sheba.
