What is the ONTAP Portable Camping Shower?
The ONTAP Portable Camping Shower is a rugged and convenient solution for outdoor enthusiasts. It offers up to 5 minutes of consistent pressure, heating up to 42 degrees with solar energy, and is perfect for camping, surfing, and 4WD adventures.
How does the portable shower maintain consistent pressure?
Our shower maintains consistent pressure through a specially designed pump that ensures a steady flow from full to empty, providing a reliable wash every time.
Is the ONTAP shower easy to use?
Yes! Simply fill the canister, let it heat up in the sun if you prefer warm water, plug into your car or battery via a 12v plug and flick the switch to activate the pressurised water flow. Perfect for rinsing off after a day of adventure.
Will the ONTAP Jerry cans fit into a standard Jerry can holder?
Yes, the Ontap Jerry cans are designed to fit into most standard 20L Jerry can holders. We recommend verifying the product dimensions to ensure compatibility (W17.9cm x L34.8cm x H46.0cm)
Is it possible to use or store the ONTAP on its side?
While it is possible to store the Ontap on its side, we recommend keeping the unit upright when in use. This is because the breather valve needs to be slightly open to allow air in as the water is pumped out.
How long will a full tank last from full to empty?
A full tank will depend on the hose setting selected, however you will get up to 5 minutes of consistent pressure on the shower setting.
Is the ONTAP food-grade?
The contents inside the Ontap Jerry can are food-safe. However, please note that the coiled hose on the outside is not food-grade, so we do not recommend drinking directly from the unit.
Does the water flow turn off when the hand piece is released?
The pumps used do not have a pressure switch built in, the water flow will shut off when the hand trigger is released however you will need to switch the pump off after the final use as the pump will continue to run even with the trigger off. This was a design choice to maximise water capacity for your adventures.
What makes ONTAP products different from others?
Our products are Australian-made, ensuring durability and quality. The portable shower also heats water using solar energy, providing a warm shower after a day outdoors.
