Product Description
Featuring a modern look and fine-tuned features, Helio is a truly indispensable part of the camp kit — and everyday adventures! Armed with a pressurizing foot pump, this portable shower provides continuous, steady spraying power without the need to hang or rely on gravity (5-7 minutes for the Helio and 7-10 minutes for the Helio LX). Keep one in the car to easily rinse muddy hiking shoes, sandy wet suits, sticky hands, and more.
Helio’s 2.9-gallon tank and Helio LX's 5.8-gallon vertical reservoirs are equipped with large ports and easy-grip screw caps for effortless filling and emptying of the tanks. (Bonus: The large opening aids with fully drying and cleaning the interior, as well.) Attached to the reservoir is a 7-foot-long neoprene hose with two-stage nozzle that can be manually triggered or set to continuous spray mode for tasks like showering or camp dishes. The extra-long hose is designed to especially complement our Heliopolis privacy shelter & shower tent, which has a fitted nozzle holder for a hands-free shower experience for luxury in the backcountry.
Since the tank cannot be overinflated, it’s easy to top up the pressure during use, and Helio’s padded handle allows for comfortable carrying to and from a water source. When it’s time to pack up, the pressure shower folds down small and both the hose and foot pump can be neatly nested under its base until the next use.
All NEMO products carry a lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials to the original owner.

Customers find the camp shower well-made and appreciate its compact design, with one noting it's easy to fill and pump up. However, the water retention and pressure receive mixed feedback - while some say it provides good pressure, others report very weak pressure, and while some find it easy to dry out, others say it's impossible to completely dry it out. Moreover, the design and value for money get negative reviews, with customers describing it as a useless product with poor design. Additionally, the sealability is problematic, with customers reporting it's not able to securely close the plug.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023Style: 11 Liter - Dark VerglasVerified PurchaseOne of my biggest complaints being away from home is not having pressurized water for camping, fishing or anything outdoors. This packs away very small and is so easy to use. I like that you can't "over pressurize" it and it provides enough pressure for whatever you need (shower, cleaning or washing). The price is the down fall but you pay for the quality. All the seams are welded nicely and I experienced no leaks at all. NEMO has things figured out. I'm sure you could spend a lot less, but the money is worth the quality and backed by a reputable company.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2024Style: 11 Liter - Dark VerglasVerified PurchaseI was searching for an alternative to the original sun shower as I had a hard time finding a place to mount it high enough to shower without stooping down. After a long day working outside a hot shower is great. It arrived on time, and it works decently, though sometimes it felt like I was over pumping it. I was able to get two showers out of it per fill. It’s just difficult to completely dry it out. Another plus was NEMO has a great warranty, I see this lasting many trail maintenance seasons!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2022Style: 11 Liter - Dark VerglasVerified PurchaseThis tank is a nice unit. The difficulty in drying it out ultimately killed it for me.
Pros:
Holds pressure well
Really nice form-factor
- I love that it doesn't tip over
Doesn't take up a lot of space
Cons:
Awkward to fill
Plug is difficult to seal/unseal
Hard to dry out
Only needing the unit for a few trips over the season, I need it to fully dry out. I tried over multiple days to dry it out and still had some water drops or steam in it (leaving it in the sun to dry). Because of its horizontal form-factor, there is no good spot on the bottom of the unit to drain. You have to keep moving it around while looking inside to see if pooled water is draining. The plug is also too small for my big hands to get in with a towel to dry it out. I'm sure given enough time in the air, it would eventually dry out, but generally I am going to pack this down into a bunch of gear where it will not be touched again for weeks.
If you have small hands to get in there with a towel or don't really need it to be bone dry the moment you pack up, this could be a very good shower. It is small, easy to move around, doesn't tip over, and provides good pressure.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2023Style: 11 Liter - Dark VerglasVerified PurchaseLiz Shepard should be put in charge of the NEMO customer service division. We experienced a leak between the layers of our NEMO shower bag pump. It was late Friday, right before the 4th of July. She shared that management was either out to lunch, or already gone for the holiday, and she needed their approval to ship me a new pump.
After searching for answers, and after I told her that we were on the road, and use the NEMO every day, she put me on hold again as she tried to find a solution.
I told her we'd be in Miami for a few days only, as she told me they could ship me a new pump, but not till July 6, to arrive around the 13-16 of July. We'd be gone from Miami by that date. So, Liz asked me to be patient, as she was trying to get creative in solving my issue.
Liz came back online to our Chat, to say she thinks she solved it
She had a few replacement pumps in the warehouse that could be shipped out later today, and they would arrive in Miami during the time we'd be there. Low and behold, the new pump was waiting for us in Miami on July 8th.
I'm a lifelong NEMO customer now, as I've never experienced such creative customer service as Liz provided from any other company.
Thank you Liz, for showing me what a company can do when it hires the right people.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2020Style: 11 Liter - Dark VerglasVerified PurchaseEDIT: this issue gets worse over time until it's essentially unusable. Bumping down to 1 star.
I used the original design extensively on the road and loved it until it was stolen from camp. I wanted to love the new design but it favors cute and cleverness over functionality and there are some major flaws that could have been caught in product testing.
1) The most critical flaw is that it can't hold pressure. The top fill plug begins leaking as soon as it gets usable pressure. I've tested this on two different ones and they both had the issue. This means constant pumping and very little flow if you need to wash your hair or similar.
2) The fill plug design is buried in a tight pocket, making it incredibly difficult to fill in most conditions. I find I need at least three hands, and have actually had to buy a siphon hose to make things easier.
3) The original model had it's own structure so could stand upright. This is just a floppy bag of water with cute little legs that don't work unless it's pressurized. This makes it more difficult to fill, and more difficult to transport with water in it.
In summary, the show stopper is inability to hold its own necessary pressure, and I'll be hunting for something else now.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2024Style: 11 Liter - Dark VerglasVerified PurchaseThis was the perfect addition to my camp gear. It's very durable and can take a beating. Leave it in the sunlight for a bit to get the perfect temp water for a rinse down.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2023Style: 11 Liter - Dark VerglasVerified PurchaseI Really Rate this shower 5 Stars but if you are anything like me you read the 3 star reviews first
I love, love, love, love this thing. I travel with it and for some reason outside of America I always seem to run into situations where the water is turned off or the hot water is not working. For example, right now I am in Germany and the hot water has been turned off for 5 days.
However because I have the Nemo portable shower you can always find a way to have a hot shower. You can warm water in a coffee maker and then combine that water with the cold water. Or you can fill up the tank and then leave it outside if you are in direct sunlight for about 3 hours (this is what I did in Africa).
In Germany I used 3 container fulls of heated water that I would use to make coffee, so right around a 2 thirds of a gallon of heated water, combined with the cold water to fill up the rest of the Nemo and voila I had a hot shower.
This shower is a life saver.
Take my advice and buy this shower. You will not regret it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very bad design
Style: 11 Liter - Dark VerglasVerified PurchaseTried many times to make this a functional shower. Failed. it must be raised well above head level to get any pressure at all, even when fully pumped. Way over priced and simply too frustrating to have any sort of enjoyable shower experience. It's so bad that I would say I've had a better shower using a gym water bottle

MGQReviewed in Japan on February 13, 2024
2.0 out of 5 stars 値段に見合っていない
Style: 11 Liter - Dark VerglasVerified Purchaseまあまあの値段の商品なので、そこそこのクオリティというか使い手への配慮があるのかと期待していたのですが、とにかく使いづらいです。使用後残った水は全部出して完全に乾かしてください、とありますが、構造上水分の逃げ場がないので無理な話ですし、フットポンプに繋がるチューブはねじれているし本体に潰されることもあり油断すると空気が送れないということも多いです。耐久性に関してはまだなんとも言えませんが、給水口の仕組みも不便なので力づくで引っ張ったりということを余儀なくされそうなことを考えると、あまり長く使えないかも、、と思っています。使用している素材は丈夫そうなのでその点を加点として考えても、5000円以上の価値は感じられませんでした。

5.0 out of 5 stars très pratique
Style: 11 Liter - Dark VerglasVerified Purchasetrès pratique et économique. par temps ensoleillé et 25 degrés, il faut environ trois heures pour prendre une douche chaude ou tiède, cela permet de faire des grosses économie de gaz !
au bout de deux mois d'utilisation quotidienne, je ne voit pas de traces d'usures sur la pompe ou les caoutchoucs. pas de fuite même lorsqu'elle est placée sur le siège de la voiture.
attention à la nettoyer régulièrement avec un peu de vinaigre dilué, car au bout de deux mois, un peu d'algues vertes sont apparues à l'intérieur.
