Advanced Elementos 2.5 galones Verano Ducha/Ducha Solar

Pensé que no duraria mucho pero despues de muchos meses de haberla comprado aún está perfecta y la utilizo a diario, debes darle sus cuidados como a todo pero si la utilizas cuidadosamente te durará mucho tiempo.

The bag is sturdy and well made. On an 80 degree day I had it in the sun for about 3 hours and the water was pleasantly warm. Not hot, but definitely way better than a cold shower. I was thinking about getting the 10-gallon but found that 5 is plenty. We took 2-showers and there was water to spare (we took quick showers and conserved as much as possible thinking it would run out). Now I know that I can take a much longer shower and still have enough water. Five gallons is about 40 lb so lifting it to the top of my van was not easy. It would have been easier to use a cord to lift it on a branch, but there were no trees available. Keep that in mind if you are short or have difficulty lifting 40 lb above your head. The only issue I have is that the shower hose is only 18" which is too short. You would either have to hang it right above you, or in my case, put the shower tent right against the van. It was great to feel clean half way through our dispersed camping trip!

Me encantó la regadera, recomendable!!!❤️

Bastante mejor que otros similares aunque algo más caro.

Pour le prix cela fait parfaitement le job et c'est une prouesse. Format compact je le recommande sans aucun souci

I bought 2 of these after researching to replace ageing made-in-USA solar showers from the '90s. I've been very pleased with the Advanced Elements 5-gallon model, and wanted to try these 3 gallon's for a different location. They've worked well. Here's my review, and temp tests:The vinyl thickness is about the same as an inflatable kid's pool float. Build quality is good, but remember we're talking about a vinyl bag with a spout and a hose.At 8 pounds per gallon of water, these weigh 24 pounds full. Of course, they'll still heat whatever contents even if you don't fill to capacity.Maker's instructions say NOT to use these for human drinking water so I'll take their advice.Honestly there are not a lot of choices in solar showers currently, most are just flimsy plastic bags. All brands I see are made in China now. If you have owned older USA-made solar showers, the current bags will feel thinner and flimsier in comparison. That said, Advanced Elements is the best of the current makers. For most people the choice will be between the 3-gallon and the 5-gallon size, and whether a solar shower is realistic for your location.FIRST DAY TEST: We put 2 of these out in direct Florida sun, late March, from 3.00 PM to 5.45 PM. Filled them with kitchen tap water from the cold water tap. Outside air temp 74 degrees.At 5.45 after 2 hours and 45 minutes full exposure, temp gauge on one bag read 104', the other read 98' (the temp gauges go in 6' increments). The bag that reads 98' had more water in it so it did not heat as quickly.I tried both bags spraying over my hands, and water temperature was subjectively comfortable but not 'hot tub' hot. Both bags were certainly warmer than the air temp of 74'.I'd still have liked them a few degrees hotter than they got in the 2:45 test.I like that the rubberized top handle the bags hang by has a clasp lock that unlocks for easier hanging & unhanging. There's a little plastic mirror on a tether cord in the front mesh pocket.SECOND DAY TEST: 3 days after first test above, on another sunny Florida day I put the same 2 bags, again filled with water from the kitchen cold water tap, outside for 3;00 hours in mid-day. Air temp was 78', a warmer day than the first test. This time they reached 104' and 110' respectively.Each time one bag was filled a little less full than the other and each time the less full bag got warmer than the more full bag. Both 104' and 110' seem very pleasant shower temp's to me. Once you get to 104' that's about the temp most public gym's set their hot tubs to, just as a frame of reference. The extra time makes a big difference. And all day-exposure will get these really hot-- if these are out 6 hours or more in direct sun they're as hot as I can personally stand.Once these are out of direct sun, these bags will begin losing their warmth. So you need to use them while they're hot. Wrapping them in towels or a blanket etc will help them retain heat longer (evening dishwashing?)It also seems to take a minimum of 3:00 hours to reach a pleasant temp level, so plan on allowing at least that much time.I've used these a few dozen times now and so far they're holding up fine. I haven't treated them roughly because they clearly aren't designed for it. Sun is tough on plastics over time so I can't speak to long term durability.I'm pleased with these and glad I bought them. A 5 gallon model weighs 40 lbs full and it does take 20-25% longer to heat than these 3 gallon bags.These certainly work--they do make water hot in the sun-- and I can see why they are #1 in sales on Amazon in the category. AE's products are clearly better made than competing brands...some of which are really just flimsy black plastic bags.Based on my experience I would say these AE's do the job and are currently the best solar showers available. I do notice these have fluctuated between $32 and $19, so it pays to be patient and to shop around. You can also check out the AE 5-gallon model (listed separately) and the 10-gallon model (which at 80 pounds full is not very portable, but might work for a sailboat, cabin, car camping etc).Hope this is helpful. Happy trails and happy showering, everybody.
