Features

Built for the days facilities aren't there.

Most portable showers force a trade-off — power vs portability, pressure vs price. RidgeWash does both.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does RidgeWash heat the water?

No — RidgeWash is a pump, not a heater. The water comes out at whatever temperature your source is. Most customers pre-warm a kettle of water on the camp stove, mix it with cold in their jerry can, and get a warm shower that way. Heaters add weight, battery drain, and price — we left them out on purpose.

How long does the battery last?

3.5 hours of continuous run-time on a full charge. That's roughly 15–20 four-minute showers, depending on which flow mode you use. Charges fully in about 2.5 hours from any USB-C source — your van's outlet, a power bank, or a solar charger.

What water source can I use?

Anything with at least 2 litres in it. Jerry cans, basins, eskies, river edges, lake shorelines. The pump is fully submersible (IPX7-rated) — drop it in, hang the hose, you're done.

How does the free shelter work?

Pick the 2-pack and the privacy shelter is automatically added to your order at no charge. It's a pop-up nylon shelter with a weighted floor and zip door — sets up in seconds. Retails for $69 separately.

Shipping and returns to the US?

Free shipping across the lower 48 on every order. Most orders arrive in 3 to 5 business days. Not the right fit? 30-day returns, no questions.

Is it loud?

About as loud as a quiet electric toothbrush — around 55 dB at the pump. You'll hear it, but it won't wake the family in the van next door.

Took it on a Cape York run. Hose into the water container, three minutes, sorted. Way better than dunking your head in a bucket.

We pre-warm a kettle and mix it with the cold water, it's perfect because our campervan doesn't have a shower!

The shelter that came with the 2-pack is what sold me. Beach rinse-offs without flashing the surf club.

This is very convenient for use in my bathroom. The shower pressure is very strong, and the shower head is very lightweight with all the one hand clicks for easy control. It works much better than my normal one installed on the wall.

Fast shipping. Product conforms to its description. 2 pressure modes, 3 flow modes. Good product. 👍

I bought a rechargeable shower that attaches to the car window after watching it on YouTube, and it's really nice to use after the saltwater beach was closed. It seems sufficient for simply removing sand and salt residue. With a 10-liter water bottle, I could easily wash one adult.

I like it. The water is great and I love the showerhead. I hope it lasts a long time. The pump has a charging port and a start button, so it might break quickly, but I'm hoping it lasts a long time.

I tested it by placing it on the sink. As mentioned in several reviews, the charging terminal's waterproof cap is a bit uncomfortable. If it survives the summer well, it should be fine. And instead of turning it on underwater, you should turn it on and then put it underwater within 5 seconds. I was able to immediately confirm the water flow with good pressure.

Very good product. It is small but has quite a lot of water pressure as it has two intensity settings. Very surprised with the battery. With a full battery, it took two and a half hours to completely drain. The only thing missing would be a suction cup to stay at the bottom of the container.
