Description

The Nemo Helio LX Pressure Shower is a ground-standing 22 L portable shower for camp. Fill the tank, step on the attached foot pump a few times, and a 7-foot neoprene hose delivers 7-10 minutes of steady, pressurised spray, and there is no need to find a tree or hook to hang it from.

What it is

A pressure shower rather than a gravity bag. The Helio LX stands upright on its base, and the foot pump pressurises the water inside, so the spray comes out with some push behind it and keeps going. The two-stage nozzle works by trigger for short bursts, or locks into continuous spray when you want both hands free to wash your hair.

The tank cannot be over-inflated. If the pressure drops halfway through, give the pump another few presses and carry on.

Who it's for

A beach trip is one of the two uses Nemo names. Rinse muddy hiking shoes, sandy wetsuits and sticky hands, clean the camp dishes, or have a shower.

Pair it with Nemo's Heliopolis privacy shelter and shower tent, whose fitted nozzle holder turns the Helio LX into a hands-free overhead shower.

Key details

  • 22 L vertical tank; 7-10 minutes of continuous spray
  • Built-in foot pump pressurises the tank, so it never needs hanging
  • Two-stage nozzle: trigger spray or continuous spray
  • 7-foot neoprene hose that reaches overhead for a shower
  • Wide fill port with an easy-grip screw cap, so you can fill it anywhere without a hose
  • Padded handle for carrying it to and from the water
  • Folds down to 16 x 26 cm and 945 g, with the hose, nozzle and pump nesting under the base

How it compares

The Helio LX is the larger of Nemo's two Helio showers: its 22 L tank doubles the water capacity of the standard Helio, which Nemo pitches at longer showers and more than one person. The standard Helio is the more compact choice.

Looking after it

The wide fill port opens up the whole tank, so you can reach in to clean it and dry the inside fully. Fold it down with the hose and pump tucked under the base, and store it in the included bag.

FAQ's

How does the Nemo Helio LX Pressure Shower work?
Fill the 22 L tank of the Nemo Helio LX Pressure Shower with water, then press the attached foot pump to pressurise it. The hose and nozzle then deliver 7-10 minutes of steady spray without the shower being hung from anything.

Does the Nemo Helio LX Pressure Shower need to be hung up?
No. The Nemo Helio LX Pressure Shower stands on the ground and is pressurised by its foot pump, so it sprays without a tree, hook or roof to hang it from, unlike a gravity shower bag.

Can you use the Nemo Helio LX hands-free?
Yes. The Nemo Helio LX nozzle has a continuous spray setting, so it keeps running without holding the trigger. In Nemo's Heliopolis shower tent, the fitted nozzle holder turns it into an overhead shower.

What is the difference between the Nemo Helio and Helio LX?
The Nemo Helio LX has a 22 L tank, double the water capacity of the standard Nemo Helio, for longer showers and more than one person. The standard Helio is the smaller, more compact of the two.

How long does the Nemo Helio LX spray for?
The Nemo Helio LX gives 7-10 minutes of continuous, steady spray from its 22 L tank. Because the tank cannot be over-inflated, you can press the foot pump again mid-shower to keep the pressure up.

Can I use the Nemo Helio LX to wash dishes and gear?
Yes. Nemo designed the Helio LX two-stage nozzle for camp dishes as well as showers, and for rinsing muddy hiking shoes, sandy wetsuits and sticky hands.

What happens if the Nemo Helio LX loses pressure mid-shower?
Press the foot pump a few more times. The Nemo Helio LX tank cannot be over-inflated, so you can top up the pressure during use without worrying about overdoing it.
