NEMO Helios Pressure Shower

Helio Pressure Shower

Featuring a modern look and fine-tuned features, Helio™ is a truly indispensable part of the camp kit — and everyday adventures! Armed with a pressurizing foot pump, this portable shower provides 5–7 minutes of continuous, steady spraying power without the need to hang or rely on gravity.

Keep one in the car to easily rinse muddy hiking shoes, sandy wet suits, sticky hands, and more. Helio's 2.9-gallon vertical reservoir is equipped with a large port and easy-grip screw cap for effortless filling and emptying of the tank. (Bonus: The large opening aids with fully drying and cleaning the interior, as well.) Attached to the reservoir is a 7-foot-long neoprene hose with two-stage nozzle that can be manually triggered or set to continuous spray mode for tasks like showering or camp dishes. The extra-long hose is designed to especially complement our Heliopolis™ privacy shelter & shower tent, which has a fitted nozzle holder for a hands-free shower experience for luxury in the backcountry.

Since the tank cannot be overinflated, it’s easy to top up the pressure during use, and Helio’s padded handle allows for comfortable carrying to and from a water source. When it’s time to pack up, the pressure shower folds down small and both the hose and foot pump can be neatly nested under its base until the next use.

Unlike gravity camp showers that need to be hung overhead and produce dismal water pressure, Helio LX rests securely on the ground and delivers the pressure you need to wash hair, do the dishes, rinse off gear, water your plants, or wash the dog.

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. The tank cannot be over-inflated. Set the black tank in the sun to warm up gradually, or fill it directly with hot water for a warm shower.

Refill Helio anywhere, even without a hose. 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. Pair with Heliopolis™ privacy shelter, which has a fitted nozzle holder for hands-free overhead showering, for the ultimate home-away-from-home shower in the backcountry.
