 Devised a simple off grid shower that worked great! Used a Zodi battery operated pump, ran the hose through 1/2 in electrical conduit..Heated water from nearby stream with a turkey fryer propane set up.. Worked great and very simple! Used bamboo screen for privacy... Great forum for ideas and help!

 Looks good
  Now that we have our outhouse, the off grid shower will be next.  Thanks for sharing!

 A simple gravity feed shower requires no power source other than you filling the tank. I had a hand pump that forced water to the attic and that supplied enough "head" to run it though a water heater I had attached to a wood stove and then back up an into the shower head. It wasn't a full force but plenty to get the job done.  A simple tank you could fill with a few buckets of water would do the same with a simple direct line to the shower head. Remember the larger the pipe to the outlet the greater the force of the water.

 I used the Zodi for several years and never thought of the conduit idea.  I did get tired of replacing the D batteries and upgraded to a 12V bilge pump.  I recently went all in and put together a portable water heater based on someone else's post.  I also like the bamboo idea...has a natural look.
