Your EverShower has been designed to operate with many types of pumps and handsets, depending on your needs
and wishes; however, you’ll find included a very efficient, reliable 12v electric pump and handset to get you started.
Patent number: 2017100062

Basic use
1. Set EverShower onto a stable surface where it cannot
rock. This is important, as a small amount of
movement at the base can equate to a large amount
of movement at the top which can cause the
occupant to over-balance. To protect the base from
damage, ensure the area is free of sharp objects. In
some situations, it may be prudent to place a mat
under the tub. On soft ground, if the drain is needed,
it may be necessary to clear some room underneath
to allow water to freely escape.
2. Remove the cover, then insert
one of the three-piece poles
into each of the tub’s corner
sleeves.
3. Connect the upper pole
cross-piece to complete the
frame.
4. Lift the tent
screen from the
tub and connect
the centre loop to
the apex hook on
the cross-piece.
5. Clip all tent screen connectors onto their appropriate
pole positions, making sure the four upper-most
connectors on the
lower (green) tent
section are
hooked onto the
pole frame
elbows.
6. Secure the Velcro straps at the bottom of the tent
screen to their respective D-ring anchor points and
LIGHTLY tension. Once set, these can usually remain
in position when folding the tent away.
7. Secure the water pump into
its support cradle (inside the
tub to recycle the water or to
an alternative water source).
The pump may be
submerged into an
alternative water source
outside the tub, but make
sure the water is free from
particles that may damage
the pump or clog the filter.
If not long enough, the hose from the pump can be
fed through the roof zip. Fit the rubber washer
between the shower handset and the hose.
8. Connect the power
cord to a 12v DC power
supply, such as a car
cigarette lighter socket or appropriate power
adapter.
9. If recycling the water,
check the drain is
closed. Pour water into
the tub. Make
sure there is enough
water to submerge the
pump pick-up (just above the filter housing).
Do not run the pump dry.
10. Do not fill the tub beyond the lower edge of the
pump strap. If not recycling the water place the pump
into your alternative water supply and open the drain
bung.
11. Step into the
EverShower,
switch on the
pump, and enjoy
a nice long
shower. Switch
off the pump
when finished showering. For
hands-free showering, the
shower head can be hung from
the ceiling centre hook, using
the Velcro strap and carabiner
provided.
There are hooks in each inside
corner to hold the water hose
to one side regardless of tent
orientation.
12. The tub can be emptied via the drain, or by switching
on the pump and directing the water via the shower
head. Do not drain used water close to freshwater
streams and lakes.
13. After each shower,
it is recommended
to unscrew the
water filter
housing at the base
of the pump,
remove the filter
and rinse it clean.
14. Reverse the procedure to pack the unit away. Ensure
the tub and screen are completely dry before storing
for a extended periods.

Notes:
● If the water does becomes too dirty or soapy, it can
be drained and replaced, mid-shower, to rinse and
continue showering. It is recommended to run fresh,
non-soapy water, through the pump after each
shower to avoid shortening the life of the pump.
● When recycling the water in communal situation,
dilute some antiseptic in about one litre of water and
run it through the shower system as a hygiene
precaution. A vinegar solution can also be periodically
pumped through the system to help keep the inside
of the hoses and shower head clean.
● Warning: Do not drink recycled water.
Use without the roof
The roof can be partially
or fully removed,
depending on ventilation
and privacy requirements.
Use without the frame
When overhead points of attachment are available the
EverShower can be erected without the frame. Four
adjustable straps with hooks are included for this purpose,
and internal loops can be used (roof off) at varying
heights, for situations involving low clearance. External
attachment points can be used if you prefer to keep the
roof on.
Windy conditions
It is recommended not to use the EverShower in
extremely windy conditions.
In mild conditions the four
D-rings on the side of the
tub may be pegged to
prevent the shower from
blowing over when empty.
In stronger winds the tent
can be secured via the guy
ropes and pegs provided.
These can be attached to
the tent frame elbow
joints. They can be pegged
into the ground or tied to a
nearby, immovable object.
In some cases, just one or
two guy-ropes, in the
direction of the wind,
might be all that is
needed.
When not in use
EverShower can be put
into a standby mode, by
dropping the tent screen
into the tub and securing the cover.
To protect the EverShower from the elements, in between
showering, it is possible to unclip the tent from the frame,
keeping the Velcro
adjuster straps in place,
drop the tent into the tub
and secure the cover
leaving the frame in place.
Water heating
There a several ways of showering in hot water:
● Solar : Empty the tub. Close the drain. Pour the desired
quantity of water into the tub. Close the lid and place
EverShower in the sun. Recycle the water. Check that
the water is not too hot before stepping into the tub.
● Stove (campfire): As above. Check that the water is
not too hot before stepping into the tub. If too hot
just let it cycle a few times to cool.
●
Gas/propane water heater : This is the best option
for continuous hot water. These systems generally
come with their own water pump and shower hose
system, which are compatible with the EverShower.
WARNING! Be sure to follow the water heater
manufacture’s operating instructions carefully.
Recycling heated water might cause the water
temperature to rise over time. If the water becomes
uncomfortably hot turn off the gas/propane, but
keep the pump running to continue showering.
Use with the Smarttek water heater (also good with
many other portable water heaters).
Please read carefully the
Smarttek
operation
manual.
Both your EverShower and your Smarttek water heater
come with their own 12v water pumps and shower heads.
Only one of each is required to pair the two systems.
Included with your EverShower/Smartek bundle is a water
pick-up adaptor.
When using the 6L/min Smarttek water pump, this adaptor
will allow for a neat connection between the pump and the
EverShower tub. The filter unit can be secured neatly into
the EverShower pump cradle as shown here…
Water from the tub will simply be drawn from the tub to the
shower rose via the water heater and back again.
Heated water will come out the heater’s outlet port. The
Smarttek shower hose connects to this outlet port and back
into the EverShower (either via a gap in the roof zip or back
under the tent screen).
We recommend rinsing the water filter after each use.

Indoor use
EverShower can be used indoors with a 12v power
supply (battery, transformer, converter etc.). It can be
used with the frame or without, as described above.
It can also be placed, tub only, inside any existing
shower recess for huge water and energy savings.
Make sure the tub is evenly supported and cannot slip
or move.
Fill the tub with the desired amount of water at the
desired temperature. Set the EverShower pump to recycle.
Not all the water will be recycled without the tent screen,
but much of it will.
Cleaning your EverShower
The tent screen and tub should be hand washed with soap
and water only. Make sure the tub and screen are
completely dry before storing for extended periods.
We hope your EverShower brings you many
years of trouble-free performance.
