Saw this on the net today.

Action Hydro

Just another shower to throw into the mix. But no power necessary.

Not a bad idea.

I have seen those Garden Pressure Packs used for that exact purpose.

$70?

why not go to Big W and get one of them gardening spray packs for about $30-40! same thing a bottle that works on pressure.

They think that bottle will do 12 showers?
"Use just one tank of water for up to 12 showers!" what are they washing, barbie dolls?

YMMV

they even sell the shower head for $9!

Use your old gardening bottle, and then shop for...

Shower Head
Replacement shower head for Sport Shower™. $8.95

Hose Assembly Kit
Coil hose, flow control handle, and siphon tube $18.95

I do agree that 12 showers is barbie doll territory.

However I never said that I would buy one of these overpriced things as not only are they $70 but that is U.S. dollars.

Bought a spray pack at kmart on sunday for $12.99 for this exact purpose. Already have the shower head off a coleman gravity shower. Tried it on my good spray unit & seem to work ok. Gunna try & make it for just that purpose.

Cheers

Fiddled around on the weekend & found that the shower head did not hold back much pressure & did not spread much. Also 4 ltrs was gone in no time. I replaced the head with a garden watering system spray head & worked it heaps better as it sprayed better seemed to use less water also. I will be continuing to play with the adjustments.

Cheers

G'day Angelo, yep had a good fall last week of 28.5ml and had another 25 last night, the dams look a bit better and the paddocks are starting to green up, much to the delight of the roos.

Heading out to Hilston the end of the week to check on the crops, which are struggling a bit at the moment, and to give the hoppers a bit of a shake up.

How is the patrol going? I see you got the shower sorted.

See ya in the bush again sometime Angelo.

Tony.

Tony the GQ is great mate.I love this thing and the places it take me too. yeh the shower is all sorted out...bloody glind suxs. Glad i made the mistake and rang Twine instead, they were very helpful and i am very impressed with the shower. Amazing hot water ...and just above idle too..no more 2200 rmp just to get warm water....love it.

Glad to see the rain is helping out mate. I am itching to head back down to Bendethera during the week soon and this time i will take the bike. Want to check out some caves too while i am there.

Take care mate, see you soon i hope
