Hi MikeyS, Have you thought about having a shower together? Much more fun than by yourself, just a thought, after all, you are Married!!!!

Regards Michael.

No, stuff that. I'd rather hog the whole shower for myself!

Thanks the bloody server dates are set to US and every time I show one I have to remember to turn it around. It is now fixed.

Thanks.

Is the US also 12 months behind? Or did this competition end 11 months ago? ;-)

Gee you guys are picky. Thanks for that I have corrected it however I do suspect that you still entered.

David,

Have tried over the last week to enter and all I get is:

FirstName Wazza

LastName

Microsoft JScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch

E:\INETPUB\VS149015\COMPS\../_ScriptLibrary/TextBox.ASP, line 214

Wazza,

It is to do with the setup of your account on the site. In the Email validation process you were asked to enter your first and lastname, screenname and password. Looking at the error you are getting and what is setup as your firstname, it appears that you do not have a real first and lastname setup in the account.

In the orange visitor bar - were it is showing you your email address and screenname hit the EDIT button, this will take you to the screen with your validation details, update to your correct first and last names then hit UPDATE, then go to the comp it should work fine.

Hi Diamond, I made a similar unit to the Twine, mounted it on my GU Patrol (4.2) diesel, removed the shower head from the Supa cheap shower ands connected the pump and hose to one side of the exchange, Bought 4metres of that pvc 10mm ID clear for about a buck a metre connected it to the shower head and then to the other end of the exchange, It only pumps 2.5 LPM so the shower is hot at idle, no revving engines out in the bush. The supa cheap shower head itself is great when you pump about 6 LPM through it BUT as the pump only pumps 2.5 LMP, its a bit sad. BUT for about 30 bucks you can buy a hand held one with a better spray pattern.. The whole thing works great. Michael

thanks mate but what is it you buy for about 30 bucks a hand held pump is it

Hi Michael,

Can you please clarify something for me? Are you just using the pump that came with the SupaCheap shower? If so, is your water source from a bucket?

:o) Melissa

Hi Diamond and Melissa, Ibought a better hand held shower head,its a household unit with 1500mm of hose, it is made to screw on to a normal shower outlet after you remove the shower rose. The new hand held is unscrewed from the hose and used the orange connector from the supa cheap and 4 metres of that clear pvc tubing, it all goes together with no problems. Its called an Interbath, from Bunnings or Hardware House for $30. Also available from Caravan Accessories if you live in Sydney for about $50. Its a much better spray pattern for the low flow from the original Supa cheap shower. Dick Smith sells the same shower only with his name plastered all over it. I got mine on special a few days before xmas for $20, a real bargain. And yes Melissa , using the same pump and switch, actually using the lot except for the shower head itself.
It really is a great stopgap till i buy a proper mounted pump, Cheers Michael.

Sorry Melissa, yes a bucket but i also made a hose and connection for an ordinary garden hose then we can regulate the flow via the garden tap. Regards Michael

Jaycar sell an excellent 12v submersible pump with shower head for less than $30.

Just empty the solar shower into the bucket (or boil the billy), dunk the pump into the bucket and voila! What really makes this one good is the supple hose (some are too stiff), a waterproof on/off switch, and an adustable flow shower head. Even comes with a suction cup to attach it to the side of the wagon. Who needs a screen?
Ours has even survived weeks of salt-water showers.
They also sell some good 12v high efficiency flouro lights.
