How would this on be if I replaced the trigger nozzle with the shower head?

Can just imagine you soap up and stand under it, takes of dirt, grime, skin and hair. I think 80psi might be a bit harsh on your complexion.
Cheaper to pay $24 dollars for a shower unit from one of the camping stores. Look a good unit though.

Hi Griz,

The pump looks similar to the FloJet pump that I've got as part of my Glind shower setup. If it's anywhere near as good, it'll be a ripper of a pump. I would guess that the 80psi comes from the trigger nozzle. I would imagine if you did as you are saying and replaced the trigger with an on/off showerhead, that you could make yourself a perfectly functional portable shower.

This is the Glind shower rose, which I've pulled apart and siliconed up the inner two rings of holes to turn into a water-saving shower head:

If I were you though, for that money I'd be tempted to buy a proper FloJet pump from Ebay:

Sure - you don't get the case, hose and other bits with it, but you do get a high quality pump that you can get parts for and that you know will last you a lifetime. The rest of the stuff is pretty cheap and you can make yourself. Buy a cheap toolbox/tackle box to mount the pump in, an electrical quick-disconnect plug and some hose, and away you go. Especially since you're changing the showerhead anyway.

Good luck with whatever you decide - I'll be interested to see what you come up with!
