I'm trying to decide between this 3 gallon version and the 5 gallon version. If you had to do it again, would you still pick the 3 gallon?

the 3 gal is adequate for me. lighter, less time to heat up, I like it quite well. pick the 5 gal if you like more time under the shower or if you have very long hair that requires lots of rinsing

I use the 3 gallon for camping with my fiancé and our 6 year old...and it works great!! At full capacity, the 3 gallon is about as much as I can lift to secure to a canopy / tree branch / etc....although I'm 5'2"...the 5 gallon seemed a bit too cumbersome for our small group. I love our little sun shower and it's easy to fill, secure, and pack away when done. So a long winded....yes.

I use mine in a "changing tent" I would worry the extra weight would not be well supported. I usually carry an extra 5gl covered bucket of water for refills. Melteld cooler ice works great also, just let it warm in the bag 1st.

To be perfectly honest with you Jan, it is still new in the box and stored with my emergency supplies but looking over the product I would say yes I would buy it again.

Yes, I would go with the three. Remember that water weighs 8 lbs per gallon, so the five weighs 40 pounds when loaded. A LOT to get to an elevated level.Coming back to the three after a long day of outdoor activity, you will love it, fresh and invigorated. One tip: find a nice strap or line of 5-8 feet to leave permanently attached to the shower, that way you won't find yourself scrabbling around for one. Good luck!

No, the 3 gallon version is okay for a shower but not enough to both take a shower and wash my hair which is long. I would NOT buy the 3 gallon again.

The 3 gallon is perfect size, special for two guys finishing up a 50 mile bike tour. Plus extra hot water left extra friends.

Yes ... we use a 3 gallon bottle, but the same container fits both 3 & 5 gallon

to be safe, I would get a five gallon bucket, WE did a 28 ft. fifth wheel and had about a quart and 1/2 left over, does a very good job!!

My tank is 10 gallon and it is the perfect amount of light. I don't think it would be too much for a 5 gallon - I think the shape of the tank may make a difference with a 5 gallon. Not sure. Hope this helps.

And 1 gallon goes a lot further than you think it will I almost bought the 5 gallon. And I got the sprayer! For 10 bucks! Now to see if last for 15 years. .....

prob too big for a three gallon... a smaller light perhaps?? The blue light on these are really pretty... you could always go for a 10 gallon :) mine works perfectly with that size!

I have only used 5 gallon..I would assume you could use a 3 gallon as long as the three gallon is tall enough so the tube that draws the water up into the unit can fit..the tube is as long as the height of the 5 gallon bottle and not adjustable. .hope this helps

I only have the 5 gallon jugs. If the 3 gallon are the same size as the 5 gallon then obviously they'll fit. You'll have to research that yourself. Also, you may want to refer to the "previous answers" to this question. It's all there.

That tank looked way too tiny. I have mine in a 3 gallon tank with an undergravel filter using an airstone for flow. Has worked since I got them, rarely needs cleaning ever. I have 12 in that little tank though. It is circular and they really seem to love the shape as they continuously swim around and around. They didn't do that in the 3 gallon fish aquarium with a filter? Good to see them active. Regular filters could all damage the shrimp so undergravel is much safer for them.

I have 3 tanks and find it best to have one on each side for my larger tanks 155 and 265. I have only one on my 55 gallon. I would go with one large on one side and see how that does, it wont hurt to add a smaller one one the right side if needed.

Tim... When I ordered mine, it also had a gallon version and that's what I bought was just 1 gallon. So I know they sell it in 1 gallon size orders.

Probably be Ok. You can try then add the five or nine gallon tank in-line. Depends on your water used.

I use the small 3 gallon bottles... You can use the 5 gallon one if you want. It took me a long time to select the perfect machine and I have to say I absolutely love it!

you could .. or I am pretty sure it is in their book, and that has a proper 5 gallon break down for this. If you are looking to do 5 Gallon batches you should consider finding recipes online and buying ingredients at a brew store online or in person (to save shipping) Were you going to brew it one gallon at a time and combine it in a fermentor? Good luck and keep brewing!

Hi, Mary - it is a good size for a 30 gallon tank, but I think it would be too large for a 5 gallon. It needs to sit inside the tank, so it takes up a lot of space. In my aquarium, it sits in a compartment at the back, hidden behind a sheet of black plexiglass. It I had to look at it in the tank, it would be unslightly, even in a 30 gallon aquarium, unless I could figure out a way to hide it behind live rock.

I'm not sure. I use 5 gallon jugs. But I would think that 3 would work if it has same opening but just a smaller size.
