Holy man that's advanced! My in-laws used a camper shower for their house lol they heated water poured it in and it was like a big ball thing they hung for the kids. Thanks for this video! We're still getting things in order to build behind our inlaws but with 5 little ones we will be without certain things for a while and a well is one but it's on a reservation in Ontario meaning NO ONE has "real" water lines so this helped a TON 😊 I lost both my parents a few years ago and if I'm unsure of certain things I always turn to your channel for guidance. Your channel has helped me and my little big family in so many ways!
Shawna Williams Thanks for the response. I would suggest if you have little kids. Then you should also run a cold water line. So very easy just add a water line splitter after the bump but before line gets to the on demand system . This way one line gets to the on demand and the other stays cold. Then you can have a mixer valve at the shower.
I was concerned about the propane portable shower being used indoor. Do you find then that the separate closet keeps the air safe? Is the closet vented to outside?
Thank you for the video. I live off grid but I'm afraid of buying the equipment and not be able to property hook it up and install. Are there any videos for it?
I want to do the same thing except i want the bottom 2 or 3 feet to be made out of rock and like a huddle tub. So u can shower or take a small bath. I know u have to seal the hell out of concrete and rock.
Yes, you would have to drain it if you were leaving for an extended period of time and the cabin/house was unheated. As for the rest, maybe this will help. ua-cam.com/video/qpImV0EXXQc/v-deo.html
Great videos!!! Great explaing tysm!! need better lighting some times and need better zooming in bc hard to see what ur talking about in some of the video
I have a smaller hot water on demand and still looking at hooking up the water system as u have so I don't need to turn on pump all the time, ur idea please, I live in 10 x 24 just me off grid home great idea u have thank u for the post
I watched your other video and it looks fairly simple. I’m going to be doing the same set up but in Minnesota. How do you run lines to sinks and the shower? Also how do you draw water from your tank?
My husband passed away in a utv accident shortly after this was filmed and I'm sorry that I can't really answer your questions. I do believe he used pvc for the piping to the sinks and shower. There is another video that shows how we draw the water. I'll look for the link.
I can't tell you exactly as my husband passed away shortly after this video was made. But, we had a basic composting toilet set up so no plumbing there. The sinks and shower had pvc piping that lead directly outside/under the cabin. The cabin was/is on a ridge so it all drained downward. We only used environmentally safe soaps so as not to harm the soil.
@@HomesteadingWays Sorry to hear about your husband. May the Lord God guide you into all peace and guide your heart and soul. Peace and grace to you and yours.
Thanks! Algae is definitely not a problem. Soap scum really isn't either as we use only "soft" soaps. It's bar soap that tends to leave a film. As for the cleaning, I use a combo spray of a few drops of dish soap with a quarter cup of vinegar in a 16 oz spray bottle filled with water. I spray and then wipe down with a scrubby sponge. Then I rinse with clean water. Pretty much the same way I cleaned my on grid shower :)
I have gotten real curious about off grid living here lately. I don’t understand why everyone puts there shower outside. Great video let’s me know I’m not crazy for wanting one inside.
That's your opinion. The cabin is not hooked up to any outside water source, municipality or well. We bring it in ourselves. If you prefer to boil water and pour it through a shower head then that's your prerogative.
Living off grid literally means not being connected to city water and electricity. Any standards past that are romantic notions you've set upon yourself. Want to do something more time consuming and inconvenient? Fine! Just don't bring down others who choose not to. And for what it's worth, there are much better systems than boiling water for a shower, even if you have an aversion to propane or battery use.

were dos it vent
Great idea with the DC pump- never thought about that, but still learning about off grid living... can't wait till the dream becomes a reality ✨
Those DC pumps work great. Nice shower set up. Love them on demand water heaters. Great video.. Have a fantastic night..!!
Thanks!
Very nice build! You know you succeed when it is easy to take a shower hassle free 👍
So glad I found your video. I had the same idea but did not know how to go about getting it done. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this video, I have basically the same setup.
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been looking for ideas for off grid indoor showers that resemble an ordinary bathroom.
That is the best looking off grid shower I have seen !!!. Xoxo
Great build
Nice job with the shower, and with the video! Thank-you!
good job
Thank you for posting this : ) Cheers from Montana
Nice shower buddy....true urs is better then most outside off grid showers 2 thumbs up...
What are you using for ventilation ? And thank you very helpful
love your shower! much cheaper than i thought, too!!
Nicely done
Thank you from northern Wisconsin.:)
I was concerned about the propane portable shower being used indoor. Do you find then that the separate closet keeps the air safe? Is the closet vented to outside?
Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you for the video.
I live off grid but I'm afraid of buying the equipment and not be able to property hook it up and install. Are there any videos for it?
Great video and info. Certainly have given me a few ideas for our Shed to tiny house conversion. Thank you and Merry Christmas you you and your Wife!
Nice informative video.
Thanks" Great idea and it looks great!
Great video thanks excellent information thanks!
Thank you, one question how well do your solar panels work in the winter time ?
I want to do the same thing except i want the bottom 2 or 3 feet to be made out of rock and like a huddle tub. So u can shower or take a small bath. I know u have to seal the hell out of concrete and rock.
Nice!!
Amazing Thanks!!
Can you do a video on how to install it in your cabin? Thanks!
Sorry, maybe you said in the video, but where do you get your water from if not a well or grid system?
We can get water from a neighbor's well or we use rainwater. This might be helpful. ua-cam.com/video/_G65o6zPWxc/v-deo.html
Please show me how to runn water line etc , i live in a dry cabin. Thank you
How do u keep pressure to on demand heater , they are sensitive to flow and pressure....
How do u drain components, when u leave it would freeze...
Yes, you would have to drain it if you were leaving for an extended period of time and the cabin/house was unheated. As for the rest, maybe this will help. ua-cam.com/video/qpImV0EXXQc/v-deo.html
Can you tell me where you got your shower head? I noticed that it turned on at the shower head. Thanks, Karen
Sorry, I don't remember.
Great videos!!! Great explaing tysm!! need better lighting some times and need better zooming in bc hard to see what ur talking about in some of the video
Do you have ventilation for the shower?
I have a smaller hot water on demand and still looking at hooking up the water system as u have so I don't need to turn on pump all the time, ur idea please, I live in 10 x 24 just me off grid home great idea u have thank u for the post
Maybe this will help. ua-cam.com/video/qpImV0EXXQc/v-deo.html
how do you refill your water tank everyday?
Question should the heater be vented out?
Did you do any kind of coating on the metal to prevent rust. Been thinking about doing the same in my off-grid cabin.
No...
Hey can you list the type of corrugated metal sheeting I really need some
I don't know and my husband passed away so I can't ask him. I'm sorry.
Homesteading Ways & Beyond no worries I can use google
Where are you getting your water from? I’m looking at buying a cabin with no running water. Do you have a holding tank?

@@HomesteadingWays sorry to hear
@@HomesteadingWays OMG so sorry to hear of your loss if there is anything I can do please reach out 🙏
How much is a 20 gal tank per day?
Is your cabin in New Berlin or up north? We're working on an off-grid in Iron County.
There'd be no need for something like this in New Berlin
So the drain pipe is it dug into the ground or the water just runs out underneath?
It just runs underneath. The county didn't want it underground.
@@HomesteadingWays ok thanks! I wanted to make a tiny cabin out of one of those cabin sheds and wondered how I could to do the shower
How do you make a drain for a sink/shower, etc. without a septic tank? I'm poor.
I can't tell you exactly as my husband passed away shortly after this video was made. But, we had a basic composting toilet set up so no plumbing there.

How hard is it to clean the metal sides? Is soap scum/algae an issue? Also great video!
Thanks! Algae is definitely not a problem. Soap scum really isn't either as we use only "soft" soaps. It's bar soap that tends to leave a film. As for the cleaning, I use a combo spray of a few drops of dish soap with a quarter cup of vinegar in a 16 oz spray bottle filled with water. I spray and then wipe down with a scrubby sponge. Then I rinse with clean water. Pretty much the same way I cleaned my on grid shower :)
the whole on the ground t here the water goes back in your land...how did you close it up to no bugs come in ??
The drain grate doesn't let most in, but you could put an additional screen. Maybe something like a hair catcher.
Do you have any metrics oh how much gas it uses?
No, I couldn't really say, but it wasn't much.
what's your water source?
Rain water or we haul water from a neighbor's well.
I have gotten real curious about off grid living here lately. I don’t understand why everyone puts there shower outside. Great video let’s me know I’m not crazy for wanting one inside.
You will learn grasshopper
Do not take your regular life off grid and tried to be regular again you have got to be creative
Live outside the box that is what makes you stronger do not depend on nothing or nobody
Why is the sound not working?
Wow, that was weird. I came back and sound works lol.
1.24 min and then it is not an off grid system!!!
Didn't show the tank. Not explained well.
This is not living off the grid. Boiling water for your shower your living off the grid..
That's your opinion. The cabin is not hooked up to any outside water source, municipality or well. We bring it in ourselves. If you prefer to boil water and pour it through a shower head then that's your prerogative.
