Jerry can roof rack shower
I have a strong memory of having seen on the forum a home made black plastic British Army water jerry can having been turned into a roof top shower.

I seem to remember that the hose and head were quite heavy duty and included a serious gas pipe type of tap.

Does it ring any bells? I'm buying a plastic jerry can like this and plan a trip to B&Q at the weekend for the bits. I fancy seeing a photo of the one i remember first though!

Ta.

I have one, although as a filter they are great, they are very slow and not great as a shower a hose fitted through a tank connector on a 20l mod bottle would work well if you added an air pump to the breather hole or even just a car valve type arrangement that would work very well.

That's a good bit of kit. My jerry can hasn't arrived yet (2nd class post Rolling Eyes ), but I'll post up results photos. the beauty of the army cans is that hey have the second opening to aid flow.

A friend of mine has just bought a self contained bike washing system that she is going to use to wash her horses when she is showing them. It carries about 10l of water has a 6' hose with a trigger nozzle on it running off an 18v rechargeable battery which is charged by mains or a 12v socket. It all wraps up into a unit the size of a coolbox with a price tag of..........£220 Shocked

If it was me I'd be thinking along the lines of a pressureized container, either a tyre valve in a water container or a garden sprayer.
