The ease of use, compact size, weight and performance are all important factors to consider. The bottom line? Nemo Equipment hits another home run with the Helio Shower in my book. Rinsing off after saltwater activities, cleaning off dirty paws, mountain bikes, pots and pans etc. Not limited to camping alone, the practical application of the Helio Shower is up to your imagination. With a diameter of 8.5″, this 17″ tall unit folds down to 5.5″ when empty and neatly stows in a self draining ventilated storage case. Another nice feature of the Helio Shower is that it is compact. And that’s a good thing when your son is 6’4″. A 7 foot hose is included to insure even a taller than average human has enough hose to reach their head. Periodically pumping the foot pump to maintain pressure throughout your shower. An integrated foot pump offers 7-10 minutes of steady water pressure Unlike many camp showers, the Helio LX stands on its own 'feet' instead of needing to be hung overhead. Once the Helio is adequately pressurized, you can enjoy the steady stream of water from the shower for 5-7 minutes. A high volume version of NEMOs award-winning Helio, the Helio LX Pressure Shower is a nearly 6 gallon-capacity gravity-fed solution for campsite clean-up. Offering an easy to use foot pump, the Helio Shower is pressurized by simply depressing the foot pump a few times. The Helio Pressure Shower sits safely on the ground and holds 11 liters of water (2.9 Gallons). Secondly, if you’ve ever tried a gravity shower system, the water pressure is nothing to write home about. First, the quantity of water limits the amount of weight you can lift and that a tree branch can support. Several challenges present themselves with these systems. Most camp showers are gravity fed systems that require the user to fill a bladder and hang it in a tree or some other form of elevating it. While spending time in the Porcupine Mountains over Labor Day weekend, the Helio Pressure Shower from Nemo Equipment eased the task of keeping both equipment and personnel clean. Take away running water, sinks, toilets and showers and you’ll see what I mean.

The 7-foot neoprene hose is long enough to hold it overhead for a shower, or to reach all angles of dirty gear, muddy paws, or salty wetsuits. Refill Helio anywhere, even without a hose. Set the black tank in the sun to warm up gradually, or fill it directly with hot water for a warm shower. You can quickly and easily pressurize the voluminous 5.8-gallon tank with a foot pump - and with occasional pumps you can keep it fully pressurized for 7–10 minutes of strong, continuous spray.
