Will this shower work with a water pump that is hand pumped from a well? Like the pumps in some older campgrounds.

You would need a water container and a 12 volt pump. Fill container at hand pump. Set on picnic table or some other stable surface. Connect 12 volt pump outlet side to heater, inlet side to hose in container (use filter on inlet hose to protect pump). Could use a 5 gal. bucket or any water jug for source IF you have the pump. Suggest checking out sure flow RV pumps. According to one review you will have to adjust pump pressure to max and heater pressure to Min to make it work. Putting container of water above pump will increase natural pressure feeding pump from container.

I would not recommend it. If the flow of water is uneven the gas will turn on and off with each pump. This dose not sound like a problem but every time the gas turns on the water is extremely hot for about 3 seconds. You will not be able to use it to take a shower.

In order to work, if not mistaken water pressure has to be a about 80 pounds.

This water heater requires a steady flow of water, it will automatically cut off it the water stops, plus if water flow is not steady the water will get hotter with less water which could result in getting burnt. You set the temp control which controls the gas and you set the water flow separately and I think it requires the water flow to be steady. If you have regular water flow this is a great water heater and I highly recommend.

It may work. It will be turning off and on I would guess. That and would be a lot of work on the hand pump operator. But anything to keep the wife happy! I have purchased this model and the camp chef model. My camp chef model got hotter. They are both wonderful units and will make your outing so much better. We have one at our hunting cabin and the wife adores it. Very important to drain the unit if freezing conditions exits. That is how I broke my camp chef unit. Best thing would be to have a small poly holding tank and a 12volt battery operated pump if using a hand pumped well.

I suppose it could be done but, the hand held spray unit is plumbed out under the shower unit. You also need space behind the unit to connect the water lines to the hoses. Your wall cavity would need to be deeper than that of a standard 2x4 construction. At any rate it would be a lot of work!

We already had a hand held shower head too prior to buying this shower filter. We hooked the Aquasana up and then attached our hand held shower head and it works just fine.

This was a gift to our son so I haven't used it. I know there is no hand pump. I would imagine if the 5g tank had the same fittings as a hose it should work. I know he used it a lot during fishing season.

This pump may be too powerful for the paddle board. I would recommend using the hand pump that is supposed to be supplied with the board.

It can definitely replace your hand held shower head. Just unscrew the old shower head and screw the new one onto your existing hose.

Yes. I have a handheld connected. It is connected just before the extension to the shower head like it would be to a regular shower head. Works great.

I gave it as a gift and did send the hand pump, I would contact the company selling it to confirm that any pump will work

My wife has asked the same question about the hand held. I have not looked into it yet but looks possible. The regular shower head can be change to any other shower head. The reason I got this unit was so I could install a rain shower head in the ceiling of shower. Rain shower head is not used much. Note: inside the shower head control valve is a small spring and pin that can come out and you may not see it. I did not see it till I installed this unit in 2nd. job.

I also have well water (rural Oregon) and it seems to work just fine. Enjoy!

no for the most part, for two reasons. 1 it doesn't have a built in check valve so you would need one. when the pump shuts off the water left in the hose will flow back down again.2 it has little to no pressure behind it so it cant lift water up more then 24" high before it stops pumping water. if you can set it up to work within those parameters I mentioned and supply 12 volts DC to power it, then yes it would work but it isn't a very big pump so you should look at something in the 2000-3500 gph range.

I will be honest, I don't remember as I purchased it over 2 years ago!It probably had a pump with it or usually any hand pump works.. The good news is, we still have it, use it and haven't had to repump it!!And we still love it!!

It's pretty much the same. I installed it into my RV which had a hand held shower; basically the shower head unscrewed & you screw this in to the hose & the shower head onto the other side & you're done. Just be sure to use teflon tape so that there are no leaks. It's very easy.

As far as I know, yes. :)Shower heads normally connect to a 1/2-inch threaded shower pipe (or "arm" as it is often called). The filter acts as a "go between" from your existing shower arm and your shower head. So, if you have standard plumbing and shower head, it should work just fine.(I would even think that it would work for a hand-held shower head assuming that the hose attaches to a standard shower arm that extends from the wall.)Good luck!

Yes, it does. The shower is basically just a tall narrow reservoir. Without the pressure from the hose, water line, or spigot, it won't work. Mine is piped into a pressurized line and I put a T on it so it only is under pressure when it needs to be. The stored water in the reservoir gives a minute to two minutes of hot water. I doubled that by installing two, side by side.

You will need to have a shower head, but your current one should work just fine. I have a hand held spray in one bathroom and a Waterpik Massage spray in the other. Both work great with the filter.

This pump works good for me. I pump water from a 55 gallon barrel about 8 feet to a shower.I'm not sure it will "lift" water from 15 feet or not?Look at a bigger pump. It's your call.
