Advanced Elements Summer Shower / Solar Shower (5 Gallon)
The Advanced Elements Summer Shower is the 5-gallon solar shower that gives you a warm rinse anywhere the sun shines. Fill the bag, lay it flat clear-side-up for a couple of hours, and the 4-ply construction (reflector panel plus insulator) heats the water to around 110°F in direct sun — no stove, no pump, no electricity. The built-in temperature gauge tells you when it is ready, the large twist-off fill valve makes topping up simple, and the curved showerhead delivers about six minutes of steady, consistent flow. Side pockets hold soap and shampoo while you scrub, then the whole thing folds flat for the ride home. It is the classic family car-camping and beach-trip shower: cheap, dependable, and impossible to break.

The kids are coated in lake sand, everyone is sticky with sunscreen, and the campground shower building is a ten-minute walk with a line out the door. You do not need a plumbed bathroom — you need a bag of warm water that hangs from a tree. The Advanced Elements heats five gallons to a comfortable rinse in a couple of sunny hours, right at your campsite.
🏆 How It Compares
The Advanced Elements Summer Shower is the benchmark gravity solar shower: five gallons, honest temperature gauge, and steady flow at a $35 price. It needs sun and a faucet to fill, but nothing else on the market matches its balance of price, durability, and performance.
Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solar-heated to roughly 110°F in 2-3 hours of direct sun, no fuel or battery needed
- Consistent gravity flow for about 6 minutes — pressure holds even as the bag empties
- Built-in side pockets keep soap and shampoo within reach while you rinse
- Large twist-off fill valve and easy-to-read temperature gauge are genuinely useful
❌ Cons
- Narrow opening makes filling from a lake or stream awkward — you want a faucet or funnel
- Solar-only: overcast days or shady campsites mean a cold shower
- Flow rate is modest (about 2.3 L/min), not a pressurized rinse
