A few things from someone who's been using the Nemo Helios for years: - This thing really needs a proper spray attachment with a trigger nozzle. Pads or a narrow sputtering stream aren't going to cut it for washing hair, rinsing soap, or for people that prefer to use bar soap. - What is the shower time without the pad? - There REALLY needs to be more warning than like a 3 second sputtering heads up when the water is getting low since you can't see the water level, and most likely can't see or notice a blinking light when showering in direct sunlight.

Good feedback all around. I can't disclose too much at this time, but we're keeping our eyes on extra attachments. To answer your question, with the scrub detached and the valve wide open, the shower time is 1 minute, or 1 GPM. For those with long hair, we recommend lathering up and saving the last 1/3 of the tank to rinse with (detach the scrub and open the valve to a click or two shy of full blast - full blast is a bit intense).

Just bought mine today! I’m Super stoked!

Never would have ordered the heater version if i knew the car had to be on

I bought one at the overland expo east in 2023 and I"m bringing it to overland expo for 2024 colorado

I like what I see. Traveling in Mexico, I’d like something I can carry somewhere that doesn’t have power nearby. Often bathhouses use salt water and don’t have shower heads. Is it possible to purchase just the hose and Geyser Scrub Pad and use it on a garden pump type of sprayer?

@1:32 In the American vernacular, 1 liter of water is referred to as “a Nalgene bottle’s worth of water.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

If I buy the version with the heater can I still add the 2 liters of cold plus 1 liter of hot water to save time?

Are there plans for a small shower head attachment?

I so want to love this. It ticks all of the boxes for what we need in our overland setup. However, I’ve now gotten my third unit from REI. ALL three leak at the base when filled. The features are awesome and if you get a working unit I think it will be great. But the QC isn’t up to par.

Hey, I just bought the heated Geyser system from your website, and noticed in this video you did a demonstration with a yeti goal zero power supply. I like the option to not use it in my car. What are the requirements of the power system and in this case what is the model you are using ? Thank you !

Hello Kirk! The YETI 400 works great. However, I would be cautious on using it in heat mode and recommend just using your camping stove instead (MSR's is our fav). In the pump mode, we used the YETI 400 all day long at tradeshows with no issues. You'll be good to go!

I would like to see a hand-free shower head for this with a sponge inside the shower head that can be compressed with the pull of a string so you can release more water on your hair when rinsing soap out.

Did you ever think about how i can reach my back with the swamp ? An optional stick extension would be a good idea.

so i have to heat the water first, in like a jet boil, then pour into the geyser system? c'mon. and i'm not really taking a shower,,,that looks more like a sponge bath. that's a hard pass

It seems that adding hot water instead of using the heating element geyser is faster . The geyser with the heating element takes between 15 to 30 min to heat up ,but the non-heating element geyser doesn’t take 15 minutes to boil that much water and is quicker to use. Am I correct in my assumption? 2nd question: if you want to can you refill it again? Because one is a piggy with water use LOL?.

@geysersystems3184

You are 100% correct. Adding 1 liter (32oz) of boiling water to 2 liters regular/cold water is the fastest way to a hot shower. We actually recommend that anyone who already owns a camping stove purchase the Geyser w/o the built-in heater, as it's the best value for your dollar. However, for those without a camping stove or who are otherwise looking for extra convenience, we recommend the Geyser with the built-in heater.

So with the non-heating model (blue), the temperature is not maintained is it?

@geysersystems3184

3 жыл бұрын

That is correct. The non-heated model is best suited for those who have a camping stove in order to quickly boil 1 liter of water to top off the Geyser, getting you ~95F+ water. The unit does retain heat fairly well and it will take several minutes to feel a noticeable drop in the temperature.

Man that's too much to do for a damn portable shower. I know it gotta be one out there more simple then that

Whatever your setup, the Geyser accepts a 12V DC power source. In pump mode the system will draw 2.5-3.1 Amps, and in heat mode the system draws 9.8 Amps.

Our scrubs are rated to last ~50-150+ uses, depending on how rough you are on them and how they are stored (basically, don't leave them exposed in direct sunlight 24/7). We also treat the sponges themselves with an all-natural antimicrobial solution that helps to keep the cellulose from breaking down.

​@@geysersystems3184 And regular sponges (which im betting those are) are made to last, too. Heavy Duty Scrub Sponges are well under $1 each (yes natural cellulose). Are you claiming you have a 'special' sponge made just for your product that is somehow superior to the ones decades old sponge companies sell? and that you're not just buying a pre-made one and assembling it? What you are using is nothing special as far as a sponge goes, the expense comes from the plastic hose and sewing the edges (and profit, just like printer ink). As I said before, everyone knows how long a sponge lasts and if you can make it last longer you need to get in contact with some companies that do it for a living for decades who haven't cracked the code you have. There are millions to be made. As far as treating it with an antimicrobial solution: I don't think any one believes that's going to give a regular sponge any real extra life. People use those kinds of soap all of the time. So this is your process? Have a special sponge made just for your company, spray it with a solution that keeps it from breaking down, then sew it up and have a plastic hose attached. Then package it. EVERYONE KNOWS HOW LONG A SPONGE LASTS with real life experience Your replacement is about $8.

It's not totally necessary to keep your car running during use, but the built-in heater does pull 9.8amps (pump mode pulls 2.5-3.1) and we make the disclaimer so that no one accidentally fully drains their starter battery. Any 12v power source power station or battery bank will also work. The benefit of having a powered system instead of a hand or foot pump is that you have an alternative means to heat the water and you always have just the right amount of pressure.
